Great points. Everyone also forgets about 11 from heaven and the defense. I hear the negative Nancy boys say the defense can’t cause that many turnovers again. I disagree. The pass rush, linebackers and secondary have upgraded from last season. Quinn’s defensive philosophy is based off of pressure and turnovers.
Our Defense was playing good last night. It was there scrubs but towards the end it was ours also. I think bossman maybe cut. We were getting good play from Bland. He had a few mistakes.

No, everyone hasn’t. There are some great guys/gals here but the quitters outnumber us 5-1.

That's not fair Rocky people aren't quitters because they're concerned that important parts of the team have been neglected and time is running out.

We are not quitters we just want our owner to want a super bowl as bad as we do and start to do what's necessary to make that happen instead of always leaving a few pieces of the puzzle out so we continually come up short.

You need to remember Rocky many of us have been Cowboy fans long before Jerry was a Cowboy fan or bought the team.

We got a vested interest and have a right to be heard

Not true at all, if you're a better run blocking team, you run to set up the pass.
We used to be a run blocking team. Not sure anymore. MM had rogers for years and didn’t rely on running. He brings the same O-Line coach using that same blocking scheme and I don’t like it. Last year was penalties. The players do it but coaching can help fix it. I wish they would line up and power block. Run behind it and play action off of it. Dak ain’t rogers.

Jerry sucks as a GM.

They were running the ball just fine the first 6 games until Zeke was hurt in Carolina.

I agree. We can’t have stars at every position but he could have addressed the O-Line better. He did the Defense. Quinn is putting it together. He is leaving Dak with 1 proven WR he will be hopefully not trying to force the ball to. And a O-Line that’s already behind. Having McGovern at a position that he couldn’t even beat Conner Williams out of is sad. Tyron never makes it all season. He should have had at least 2 guards better than McGovern. Unless he greatly improved from last season we are weak there.

How is collins doing where he is. May have been better off keeping him. We could have Steele at LG.

It fell apart quickly. So many injuries. Quit using 12 personnel when we lost our TE. Maybe with Elliot and Pollard being 100% we can get a run game back. Would build a lot of confidence.

Also Pollard. And people forget about Jarwin. He was one of the better blocking TE we had. And that’s not saying alot.

I’ve been a fan since the early Landry days. And the quitters I’m referring to whine about everything and anything all the time 24x7.

Exactly, I'm not asking for all our olinemen to be stars. I'm just asking for more serviceable talent than Ball, McGovern, and Alarcon.

Yeah I mean heck we're not asking for Larry Allen but I don't think somebody who has started a couple NFL seasons would not be too much to ask for.

They are and you’ll jump on the band wagon when they do.

So connect the dots for me.

Jerry sucks as a GM but apparently he built a team oozing with talent and ready to make a run? So how's he a bad GM again if he built a team we shouldn't quit on that's good enough to make a run?
