Nice to have Tyler Smith back. Yikes on Bass grade. Hankins has to be better or there will be more getting gashed on the run.

Yall notice there still aren't any clark threads but people rag on mazi a rookie nonstop? It's all about who people like pre-draft on here. Clark been a bum. Don't talk to me about where he was drafted when all I heard was we got a first rounder in round 5.

Wait. I have been told at this very board that Mazi sucks and Hankins is doing his thang.

That's stupid rating Dak the 2nd lowest on Offense. Hello, Dak was helping keep this Offense in the game when our WRs struggled all game to get open, along with our Oline struggling to give him constant pass protection while committing continuous costly penalties. The only thing Dak did wrong was forcing that late 4th quarter pass into triple coverage being down two scores and time running out, but Brandin Cooks was as much to blame for not recognizing the intentioned triple coverage in the endzone and instead running fast underneath and in front of the LB for what could have been a wide open catch and run into the endzone. Also, Ferguson was held big time as he stopped and tried to cut back across the middle just short of the goal line. If PFF is using this 1 dumb play against Dak, they are full of crap.

While I don't see eye to eye on his rating of 43 on PFF he was not great this game, better throws could of been the difference on two 2 tds instead of 2 non calls, when the refs were obviously against you. Dak created nothing by himself in the passing game, and his runs at best created a new set of downs.

Johnathan Hankins - 48.5
Hankins PFF Score last *year*: 46.0
This year: 51.4
At this point, Hankins is what he is. That's why we've had him for peanuts the last couple of seasons.

Mazi, this year: 61.5

People were so desperate for a big body for so long that they overrated Hankins when he came. Hankins was better than the truly awful alternatives. That's it.

They got bullied by a lesser team. They deserve the hits they are taking in the media because they were declaring their own greatness after the first two weeks.

Gotta wash the taste of this game out of their mouths as quickly as possible and come out swinging on Sunday.

NE is going to be well coached and they are more than able to beat Dallas if we play poorly.

With SF after that? We could be looking at 2-3 in a heartbeat if this team doesn’t dial it back in.

Still can’t believe they lost the way they did on Sunday. What a crap-show. And to hear MM say “you can’t overlook anybody”?!?!

Cmon man… 30 years coaching in the NFL and apparently you allow your team to underestimate an opponent?! SMH

Really? That pass at the corner of the endzone would have hit our WR right in the chest. He even reached over the defender and was able to touch the football with both hands. The defender clearly committed pass interference. The officials helped out the Cardinals on that play. Cowboys should have had 1st & goal at the 1. It would have been converted into a TD.

Dak was 25 of 40 for a 62% completions rate and 249 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT, 3 rushes for 24 yards (8.0 rushing yards average) and a 78 passer rating ...... all while our WRs struggled to get open all game long, as well as our Oline (with only 2 starters) struggled to give Dak a constant good pass protection. Playcalling in the red zone was horrible. McCarthy even admitted he could have called better plays. That's not including the many drives which were affected due to penalties. Dak created several opportunities to keep drives alive and be able to move the ball within scoring distance. It's the other players around him who didn't step up.
