We are still in the hunt for a top ten draft pick

If we win next week, Jason will have a Campo record for the season at 5-11

If we lose next week, Jason Wil have a worse season than Campo

No matter if we win or not, people can no longer claim he has never had a losing season as they have tried to say with his 8-8 seasons.

While Kellen Moore might be more exciting to watch than Weeden or Cassel.... He is not the future starting QB for the Cowboys... He might be a future 2nd or 3rd stringer...maybe.

This team needs more offensive talent and a healthy Romo to win. It is clear we will not win due to coaching... If we win, We will win due to talent inspite of the coaching schemes on offense.

The FO needs to have learned a lesson this year... You can't just plug any RB behind this oline and expect it to be a success.

The lights have came on and are shining bright for DLaw.

How odd is it that back to back games the team gets ints from basically practice squad players

It was about 75 degrees with wind and rain in my part of WV today... Crazy for this time of year but seemed odd to see players in cold weather gear after I was out in the warm weather today. Heck if not for the rain I was going to mow today. I thought mowing a couple of days after Thanksgiving would be all it needed but with this weather I guess I was wrong.

With this crappy season does anyone find themselves in a a nonplussed meh kind of mood even after a great or terrible play? I used to curse or yell and fist pump. Now I might say meh or blow a half hearted raspberry toward the screen.

This mess of a season is almost over... Which mean the draft info and talk will start up. I love reading and talking about the draft prospects and frankly is about the only shows I watch or listen to on DC. Com I hope we get more people to join us in the draft zone when it starts heating up.

Ok... Throw out some of your random thoughts.

I dont think RB was a reason for our poor offense.Its the simplistic play calling and bad QB play(including Romo here because he was not his usual self even when he played)

I'm happy we have a good gauge on Kellen Moore so come draft time we won't be tempted to pass on a possible Romo replacement (for the future) banking on Kellen Moore. You know how Jerry likes to get "cute" with the quarterback position. I am glad Kellen Moore won't be part of Jerry's cuteness.

Jerry has seen enough bad QB play this season,i am almost 100 % positive we are drafting a QB.

Team quit on him (defensive collapse) in the 4th. Nothing new....been happening all season. Literally he had WRs drop 10 balls today. Bryant out..Beasley..out. It was just a crap sandwich all the way around. Team has been tanking for a better draft pick for weeks. Feel bad for Kellen. He's the only one out there trying to make a difference while the rest of the team just wants the season to end. Ashamed to call myself a Cowboys fan today....

Every week, the staff rolls out the same gameplan, regardless of missing players or not.

The inability to adjust to the skills of the "talent" we have on the field is mind-boggling.

The league has caught up to Garrett's offensive scheme, and he and his staff have done nothing to adjust. It almost seems like he'd rather stick to his scheme, come hell or high water and lose his job, than make adjustments, actually win and keep his job.

On the defensive side, we blitzed the Skins like crazy and won, so what does Marinelli do in the subsequent games? Get away from the blitz which worked.

It's so freaking infuriating.

The only way the offense put up decent performances is if we outtalent teams. We needed Murray having a historic year, Romo playing unbelievable ball and Dez Bryant putting up constant touchdowns in order for us to have a solid season last year. We're not getting the coaching we need on the offense. We can only compensate by stacking it full of talent and hoping they have amazing execution on these schemes. This won't last for long in the salary cap era since you can't keep everyone together anymore.

I think the Cowboys have found a RB......DMAC has had his best game in years....still like to see them draft a top RB but impressed with DMAC

He seems to be getting in sync with this Oline finding and hitting the holes quicker and harder.

Kellen Moore still has some potential as a backup QB. He's just not accurate enough nor has enough arm, from how it looks right now, to be anything more then that, and its still limits him as a backup. There were some drops today. There were a lot of balls behind recievers or too low to catch today also. His longer and outside throws tend to float. Just not an NFL arm it looks like. That being said might as well start him next week also, because Cassel looked done two weeks ago.

Romo is the only real difference in Garrett having ALL losing seasons or not.

Guilty. Not rooting to lose but not really care when we do. Can't stay away but not emotionally invested anymore. And like you looking forward the draft. It'll be a good one picking so high.

I liked what I seen from Terrence Mitchell, and Olentaye [sp?] had a pick in the end zone, so want to see more of them both.
Did Swaim get much action today, anyone notice how he looked?

Byron Jones is NOT a bust....but always one in the crowd ...LOL...Carr is awful a good part of the time.....And a WR was making catches, Butler looked decent to me. Maybe they need a QB that is accurate.

Yes, really need to draft a QB. We will have the pick this year to do it.
Yes, need to draft a RB. I like DMC, but need a young stud RB.

"With this crappy season does anyone find themselves in a a nonplussed meh kind of mood even after a great or terrible play?"
Yes, throughout this game, I was like, well, that was good, or after a bad play, I was like, well that was good too [thinking draft pick there of course ;)]. But it didn't bother me like it normally would.
I think my blood pressure was on an even keel the entire game. For once.
KM is what he is, just ok but not the future.
