Now it's a new team

[OmerV]

Soon as #11 comes back we will be the greatest defense in history they say

I've never heard anyone say that

 

[leeblair]

So, how did the team manage to have 12-5 seasons with Dak at QB? lol

There is no evidence that the offense functions better with Rush. All you point to is what you prefer to believe.

And don't go that "Dak ;pver" path on me. I recognize Dak has flaws, and that they certainly seem to be standing out more this year. But the inescapable reality is that Rush is much more limited in his capabilities than Dak is.

IN MY OPINION, the Cowboys didn't truly win twelve games in the last two seasons.
Games vs Detroit, the Texans, the Colts and Detroit two years ago are really in question. But that is another story.
However, the weak schedules also helped them.
But now the NFC East is no longer a cake walk. Teams that were once guaranteed wins are no longer easy wins.
Early in the year teams play harder. Teams that expect to be contenders play better early on. After they realize they are not going to contend, they are easier to beat because they no longer believe.
But even you should acknowledge that there are questions about some of the Cowboys wins.

OMG, total lies made up.

Rush led offenses were 22nd in every offensive statistical category. yards, points, etc.....so now you are saying he could move the chains. !!! really. how far back did you reach for that one.
passing yards in the 5 games
230
215
217
76
181


is that how you move the chains?

rush was lucky that the defense played way above their heads and actually scored a couple of times to help him out. we had no business winning that Rams game, with 76 yards passing, but defense gifted him 10 points.

and to say the defense will play better because of Rush? WITF?

the success was because of defense. and lets watch the next few games and see if this defense is going to be better..... your posts aren't going to age well and you are going all in....

STATS ARE FOR LOSERS!

The only stat that matters is the wins/losses stat.
You really don't understand the game if you think stats justify a player's credibility.

The record says otherwise. Every other team gets credit for wins regardless of opponent. It's nonsensical to suggest that doesn't apply to Dallas.

By the way, go back an look at my last post again. I edited it to reflect the flaws in your argument about the offense functioning better with Rush

He's going to get us back to glory, (you won't hear it, it's sarcasm!!) sheesh

I don't look at stats.
Stats are merely the by product of a game.
What really happened on the field cannot be ascertained by looking at the statistics.
What I saw was the Cowboys playing better as a team when Rush was in the game.
What I saw was Rush continued to play at the same level whether the Cowboys were winning or losing.
Early in games when the momentum could go either way, Rush played well. He didn't wait until the Cowboys gained the momentum to produce.
This is the difference Rush makes.

I know it's sarcasm, but to be effective sarcasm can't be too far removed from reality. There needs to be some tie to what people actually are saying. Hell, nobody at this point is even saying the defense is going to be good with Parsons back. It's more like it just wont be as bad.

so stats are for losers, but you claim something without any evidence to be able prove it....because every piece of evidence says otherwise.

and then stats are great, when they support you assertions.

prove why Rush was able to sustain drives, because there isn't anything you can point to, except your eye test....

the cowboys absolutely did not play better with rush...
I watched the games and I understand the game 100x better than you do.
I actually afterward go through the play by play.
and subsequently stats support what you see on the field.
and after several games, a trend forms and you see the trend. you see where a player lands and why.
but I can understand why, for someone with limited knowledge of what these stats represent, mean and how they are related, there will be struggle, thus you avoid them because you only get more confused.

the cowboys didn't play better with Rush, scoring was down, TOP was down. defense played well knowing that if they don't, they have ZERO chance of winning, because they knew they can't rely on offense to win a shootout. in fact the very first time a team scored more than 20 points, the team lost by 10 points. when Rush was forced to throw the ball to move the offense, he threw three interceptions.

Rush is the ultimate average game manager. he is not able to carry a team or an offense. in fact the most points our offense ever scored with Rush as QB is 25. that is his ceiling.

Just because scoring is down doesn't mean they didn't play better.
The Cowboys scored what they needed to score to win. Having control of a game is better than being in a shootout.

The eye test is more telling than a stat review.

so you are trying to spin your way out of it, with total BS and meaninless and stupid response...

so scoring is down. 3rd down conversions are down. total output is down. TOP is down. but somehow with everything being worse, they played better!!!! too dang funny.

and against the eagles the cowboys needed to score more than 26 points to win in a shoot out. they needed to pass their way to win and they couldn't.
like I said, he is a the ultimate average game manager when he has everything in place and support of defense to pull out low scoring games. if we need to win a shoot out. he will fail misreably.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

whose eye test? yours!!!


yeah...given your lack of football knowledge and personnel evaluations in the past (Tashard Choice LOL), somehow your eye test is just good for the garbage disposal.

This is a false argument because being high scoring with Dak doesn't automatically equate to "shootout", and fewer points with Rush mean doesn't automatically mean the Cowboy offense controlled the game.

Many of the high scoring games were one sided in the Cowboys favor, and the Cowboys did not control the clock or get more 1st downs than opponents in the games won with Rush at QB.

What the Cowboys got in those 4 wins with Rush at QB was 7 turnovers and 18 sacks from the defense

 

[Beaker42]

Doesn’t matter ……… this season and the next 4+ were screwed as soon as DA JJ paid Gak.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

At least I want to watch again, Dak and Zeke's acts are soooooooo played

 

[Whirlwin]

Yeah, Prescott never does that, does he?

Don’t care about Prescott

well, I hate to bring it you, but the record shows 12 wins. no matter how you try to spin it and how you try to say it. its 12 wins. it goes into history as 12 wins and its recorded as 12 wins. so deal with it. teams win in blow outs. teams win in close games. teams win coming back in the 4th quarter. etc.

there are no questions except in your mind and your mind only.
and I bet there is a large echo there.

btw, since you chose to do that excercise and question wins in your mind. can we do the same for the 5 losses and question those losses and say a couple of them should have been wins. so in my mind a couple of those losses weren't losses, they were wins. that's how I choose to think because they truly didn't lose those games.

and the schedule is what it is. no control over that. and I can give you 10 other teams that had it easier and oh, btw, before the season the cowboys were middle of the pack. the niners had it much easier. so did the texans.
at the end of 2023, Chiefs strength of schedule was .481, and cowboys .446 just color me WOW.

this is all your perception and your perception only. none of it is reality. IT IS ALL YOUR OPINION and its a joke at that. nothing based in facts. reality or how actually things work in NFL

 

[TexasBoys2288]

Delusional. Hope you receive the help you need.

I'm deranged, not delusional.

 

[Nav22]

It didn't matter who the Cowboys added; as long as Dak was the starting quarterback nothing changes.
Now with Rush coming in the Cowboys have a chance.
And I think it's what the players wanted, even if they can't say it publicly.
And after the next four games no one will be able to say that changing quarterbacks didn't make a difference.
How much of a difference remains to be seen, but, win or lose, we will see if the team shows a spark that they were missing with Dak.
It will be interesting.

You done pretending you know ANYTHING about football, Quitter?

"DURRRRR COOPER RUSH WILL GIVE US A SPARK!!!!!"
