Never.When did Washington go undefeated?
Good catch. lol. Washington pisses me off so bad and I was typing so quickly.
The Cowboys have lost to the 49ers in back to back seasons. Defense proved they were good enough in the rematch, it is now up to the offense to do it's part. 49ers are the best defense in the entire league, have to be able to attack them in every way to have success. Fixing the run game is paramount, but also having better playmakers to exploit matchups.
Wondering the same thingWhen did Washington go undefeated?
No problem. All of us have flaws and have brain farts. I know I've had my share - and plenty.Never.
I was thinking of the last team that had a chance of ending the Dolphins' perfect season. The thought stuck. Lesson: finish what I am doing at work first in the moment and then post.
Thanks for correction.
When did Washington go undefeated?
him stepping up is the problem. We know the history of success with this team for the last 30 years is when we run for 100 or more. We do have to take the ball out of his hands more, and this is to control the clock and not have our D burn out late in games and late in the season like we did. Hurts is in a perfect situation right now having strength on both side of the ball, and his head office. With the many issues that are facing our offense right now, Dak does not have the amunition to be able to step up and carry this team. Not only do we have an unknown in Pollard, we have a larger unknown in TE, unknown health at WR and not to mention a massive unknown of health on our OL. Right now our D will determine the success of this team, and the best way to have them dominate is to keep our offense on the field.
That’s a crazy stat. Only Chiefs scored more points while Moore was here.
The game has changed, you can’t win a championship these days with your offense revolving around the running game. The teams that have the leading rushers aren’t winning titles. You have to score points that comes with the passing game. Everything revolves around the QB but any team that has to be carried by their QB usually doesn’t get very far. That will catch up with you in the playoffs. However, your QB does have to be able to carry their team at times, in certain situations. Perfect example was in this past Super Bowl with Patrick Mahomes in the second half. He took control despite an injured ankle. The Cowboys do need to run the ball more consistently, but Dak is going to have to step up his game. When he plays well the Cowboys usually win. That’s how it is for most teams because it’s a QB driven league. The Cowboys are never going to build a great enough team offensively and defensively to overcome poor QB play. It comes down to your QB in the playoffs. At some point it’s going to be on them having to make plays for you to win. Dak has got to be better this upcoming season or he’s not going to be the answer.
Good look with that.
no doubt, but the teams that win Super Bowls have the QB that carries them mostt of if not all the time. Dak has had enough years here for us to know he is not that kind of guy, very few are. Again, his success of putting up numbers is when we can also run the ball. When we have no running game, he is dead man walking. Look no further than our record when we rush over 100+ yards...the days of expecting Dak to step up are long gone, we can no longer ask him to carry the team. End of story....if we want to be talked about in the post season
Sure there is. We have less talent at TE than we did last year. Schultz is a big loss and Daks primary outlet. Maybe someone steps up and replaces his production but that's not a given. Zeke was good last in his limited role of protecting Dak and picking up short yardage 3rd downs. Jones doesn't replace that part of the offense. Pollard was the #1 guy last year, made the pro bowl, and its hard to imagine him improving on what he did last year coming off the injury. Cooks is the only addition that upgrades anything, but it is not a given he's going to make all that much difference as Dak usually has 2-3 talented wrs to throw too.
Prior to his ankle injury in 2020 he was carrying the team a lot. Go look at all the 400 yard passing games he had with over 50 attempts. We weren’t running the ball well in those games, which is why he had to throw a lot. He’s regressed since then. If he isn’t able to step up in games, especially in the playoffs we can forget about winning a championship with him.
we can go back and forth all night, but you kind of proved my point in what I am saying. Nobody really cares how our team performs during the season, what matters are the playoffs. We don't need to debate how Dak has performed, do we? Is all the blame on him? Not at all, but doing the eyeball test it's evident he has not been able to carry us Even an idiot like me knows your running game will only be as effective as your passing game is and vice versa. In order for Dak to succeed he needs our running game to succeed, it is just that plain and simple. When the earth rotates on it's proper axis he can be effective, when it doesn't he is challenged. There is a reason MM is focussing on the running game isn't there? I would think he knows a bit more than you and I do in terms of what needs to be done to succeeed because past ways haven't....enjoy the back and forth with you as always
You might want to go back-and-forth all night, but I don’t. Everyone here cares how we perform during the regular season, because if we don’t perform well we won’t make the playoffs. It’s the momentum you gain during the regular season that propels you through the playoffs. Your team is established during the regular season. We need to run the ball efficiently, but to win a championship your QB has to perform at a high-level and make plays in critical games. This is why most Super Bowl MVPs and league MVPs are QBs. It comes down to them having to perform at a very high-level if you’re going to be successful. For the Cowboys to advance deep in the playoffs and win a championship, Dak has to step his game up. He can’t be turning the ball over in the playoffs, especially in the redzone. Everyone has to step up around him, but he has to perform at a high-level. This is true for every team that wants to win a championship. In the two playoff games we’ve lost to San Francisco he hasn’t played well.
