Potential winnable games without Dak

[Diehardblues]

I'm not at all excited or interested in watching Rush struggle this whole season. He's awful.

He was enough in his lone appearance last year in Minnesota . That should provide a glimmer of hope especially against lesser teams .

Any game we could win with Dak, we can win without him. He doesn’t bring anything special to the table right now.

This. Give it another week and some fans will be acting like we lost the Bucs game because Dak got hurt. Jerry is already selling that we just have to hold on long enough for Dak to get back. People will always buy his garbage.

 

[Diehardblues]

Say's who?

I didn't have Dallas as the division favorites or a playoff contender. I had them at 8-9 with a perfectly healthy roster.

8-9 wins would be in the divisional race and or playoff hunt.

Not many bigger critics of Jethro than me . While I’d agree the season could be over , that’s only if we can’t muster a couple of wins without Dak.

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Moore is undefeated as a starter. He'll keep that streak going until Dak gets back.

And do what if you back door into the playoffs besides lose draft position? This is a tear down to the studs situation.

I can maybe see a win against Washington because of our D. I'd like to also add the Giants, but...

We will see. We were told that we were going to be a run heavy team this year with Dak starting. Elliot got 10 carrys and was getting 5 yards a clip. He should have had 20 runs. Looked like Moore abandoned the run as quick as possible. Maybe with Rush playing it will force him to run more and use quick passes. Our Defense got left out to dry and kept them under 20. Maybe the bucs are going to be really good this year.

We have to make it a low-scoring game. No way in hell we can win a shootout

In order to avoid an 0-5 or worse start before Dak returns there are a few games I’d circle as more winnable than the others .

Starting with at NY. And then at home against Wash. if not then 0-5 is looming.

There’s a slight possibility Dak could return by then. If not then Det could be another game we could circle at home as winnable . Maybe Chi.

We did go to Minnesota and win with Rush so this leaves a glimmer of hope against lesser teams .

All games are winnable without Dak. Better playcalling and utilizing Zeke better makes all the difference. Cooper Rush can drive this bus!

Not really, he's a liability. The Vikings game is one random game. He's pulled from the practice squad for a reason.

Yes you had Amari Cooper in Minnesota. Rush Gallup back and you have what happened to Godwin.

 

[Diehardblues]

We’re fixing to find out if we can win with any QB or if Dak is truly more than what some what to bash.

My hunch is he’s more in the middle . Not enough for more success but enough to keep us competitive for our division and playoffs .

I understand. But that’s all we have to measure at this point. We are fixing to get more data which could certainly support your notion.

It is what it is. Being relative is our owners main priority. Contending for a playoff spot generates that interest .

I agree for the most part but that would entail both the defense improving on their bend-don't break effort from Sunday night but BETTER and the offense running the ball much more to control time of possession. I trust Dan Quinn will have an adequate game plan for Cincinnati. I do not trust Kellen Moore can do the same. That is, I do trust Moore can come up with a strategy. Unfortunately, he does not fill me with confidence in making necessary adjustments according to what the defense gives him.

We shall see. Like I said these games I’d describe as more winnable . Didn’t say the others weren’t winnable .

 

[Tussinman]

Washington and Giants are the 2 most likely wins, especially if you have both Peters and Gallup back for those 2 games

 

[Xeven]

I do not think having Dak out there changes our winning potential. In fact not having Dak out there might increase our chances.

That’s an argument I haven’t seen .

You truly believe our chances are greater to win games with Rush than Prescott?

Then we should be good to go. A godscent Dak went down . Ok Xeven, we shall see how your instincts and insight are.

 

[Nexx]

hopefully they lean on the running game more and let our defense do its thing. thats our only hope. hopefully Kellen can get his head of out of butt and execute a plan like he didnt against the Vikqueens last year.
