Yes. The kitchen sink. Like the Eagles did. It was crippling for them, as you can see.

The Cowboys would have had to give up less. They were at 4. The Eagles were at 8.

There's no excuse. We just have the worst front office in sports.

So when he got hurt here, would have Rush, or even Foles came in and won the SB? Nope.....we still wouldn't have been close.

1) The team decided long before both Dak and Zeke were available in that 2016 draft that they were going to be a run-first team. This was decided back in the DeMarco Murray days and the huge investment in the OLine demonstrated this.

2) We lost Murray to FA

3) Darren McFadden & the RB by committee we adopted out of necessity was never going to be the long term solution. An elite back was necessary.

4) Like it or not, the coaching staff looked at Zeke as the elite back our O needed and that came before the QB.

I still think we have some issues at DT.

No 3-techs right now. Ross made a good run stop in the backfield, but we're not getting pressure from the inside.

Don’t mean to be a wet blanket but this offense is very similar to last season’s.

What are fools going on about with Dak? He looked wonderful today. His footwork on a couple passes, inside the pocket, was wonderful. Much improvement. Sure, there wasn’t a Gallup 35 yarder, but RSmith was eating up massive yardage.

He missed a couple throws — Jarwin once on that wheel route, but whatevs. He was really good.

Cut it out.

Ummmm.

You forgot one tidbit.

They had an elite QB. They went TB thinking they had Romo for 3-4 more years.
