Since 2020 the Cowboys are 1-4 against the Eagles

[SquidwardTentacles]

Folks don't like facts my man

I mean when you come up and try to make a valid point like Prescott's nine and four against the eagles but somehow, we got swept by the eagles this year, so the gap got bigger, and the Cowboys have no shot competing next year, even though with Prescott he's 33 and eight against the NFC East... if anything, you want to mock the playoffs or what the record is with Prescott against the rest of the league that's fine ,

but we're talking about the gap in the NFC East, IMHO nothing's changed, not in my opinion, the Cowboys have always challenged the eagles the Cowboys have always been good against the NFC East the injuries like 2020 and this year were excessive and by the way this year I think we're more excessive, because it happened all year happened before the season started it kept happening weekly we are losing starters losing the depth when you lose your top 4 pass rushers and your top 4 borders is not going to be a good year....​

nobody wants to hear that, because that's not their narrative, they're trying to say that there's a gap now so big between Washington and the eagles that we won't recover in this offseason and we're going to be bad once again and that's a fallacy because we can't tell the future but the past history says that with Prescott if you give any kind of resemblance of a solid run game a decent online and a defense that at least can hold a team to a reasonable score he will beat them he will beat the NFC East he will beat the eagles....

To me that's just really overreaction and recency bias to say the Cowboys are now losing pace in the NFC East and I'm saying that's garbage it's a down year like in 2020 when the Washington team got lucky did they win the division at like 7:00 and 9:00 I mean I don't remember but it takes that kind of year when you're better teams lose their players and some other team gets credit for being better when they're really not...

But if you want to keep receipts somebody can come back here and refresh this mid-season next year if we're healthy and yet we're still getting our butts beat by the eagles or the team called Washington...

you do realize that statistically one would have to play all future Cowboy/NFC East games with the exact same conditions and variables for your data to have any predictive ability? And even then n=41 is a pretty small data set.

What Prescott may have done in the past, is a footnote of the past.
At least the niners were smart enough to part with Montana and Rice when their utility began to decline. Jerry Jones, not so much.
He loves to pay big names big money, while on the downhill slide of their careers.

when someone other than Dak Prescott starts at QB. Their only win came in the Covid year.
The offense has averaged 15.2 points per game in that span.

Meanwhile they are 4-1 in games Prescott has started.
The offense has averaged 37.6 points per game in that span.

I shall say no more. If one does not get it by now then one never shall.

I agree with your larger premise. You should be building a roster that can compete with philly, the 49ers, and the lions. You cannot HOPE someone will eliminate them. Those are the teams that have been in the way for the last couple of years....and you've done nothing to address them. Nothing else matters if you can not look at your roster and have confidence you can beat them

Work day winding down so I decided to peek back in here. It remains obvious that some get it and some don't and never will. I will simply chuckle at the reaction to a simple statement of fact which (should) conclusively debunks the "the Cowboys are better with Cooper Rush at QB" nonsense that crops up whenever we win a game with Rush at QB. The stark difference in how they play against this one division rival was just about the most obvious evidence to the contrary that one could find. It's not about Dak being better than Rush.. No sane person can argue that he isn't. It's about how the team functions with Dak at the helm. The offense in particular.

This season unraveled for two reasons. 1) CeeDee Lamb missing training camp caused him to be far less of a weapon early on that he truly is and 2) The defense took way too long to grasp Zimmer's defense. Put that on Zimmer, put it on the players.. put it on Jerry if you want.. but it was obvious early on that there was a huge adjustment taking place. You could also throw in the rooks on the o-line and the injuries or even McCarthy completely botching the running back situation if you like. I guess it all goes into the pot and comes out poop stew. This was a disappointing season for a lot of reasons. But the world won't end and we got a little over 9 months before we get to see more football. I'm excited already!

The Cowboys are not a competitive team when compared to the better half of the conference. That is the bottom line, couple of fluke games aside. They did not improve this year from 2023 while most of the league made positive strides. It doesn't matter which of the two QBs is playing. It's December and it's too late to be talking about what did or didn't happen in camp.

Rush is a backup QB, nothing more. Let the trolls have their fun. Dak is not a $60M player. That is a fact. The results this year do not reflect well on the Cowboys QB situation. They finally cut Zeke loose, another ridiculous move to have him on the roster.

Who the heck is Tanner McKee? 3/4 with 2 TDs and a 156 QBR? Embarrassing.
