Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @1053thefan on having confidence in DC Mike Zimmer: “He knows this game well. He’s been a very successful coordinator, a very successful head coach. Have all the confidence in the world that he’s gonna put these guys in the right spot. He did a great job the first week. We just came up against a Saints team that’s hot.”

Hot after Week 1 playing Carolina? How about they just whooped your team. If your DTs weren't getting pushed into the concession stand, the defense might have had a chance to cool off this supposed hot team.

Well, that explains it then. Built in excuse for any losing situation. What would Jimmy say?

He’s setting himself up for a tough explanation after next weekend. The Ravens are the opposite of “hot”. Can’t lose this next one.
If the Ravens win Stephen will just say that they were 0-2, they had to win some time.

LOL.

Anything to cover up the fact dough boy here and his dad built a flawed roster that has some of the same holes as previous teams that failed (DT, cough, cough) that is led by a coach they refused to fire because he was still under contract.

The sad thing is that this dweeb takes over full time when Jerry passes. We are so screwed.

49ers were hot
Packers were hot
Saints were hot

But I guess the Browns weren't cold in Week 1?
Our defense sucks and Dak can’t overcome them.

Apparently Dak and the Cowboys offense putting up 40 points against the Giants defense is elite offense, not a Giants defense that sucks..

This is an asininish statement. Yes, I made that word up. We didn't compete. We were emasculated. Check the team for ball sacks. Yeah hot teams win, but they don't make you look like Alabama VS Tacoma Washington. Just say what happened. We were terrible. Hopefully it was just early season rust. Real simple.

I'm paraphrasing here, but this is a quote I remember that best fits this situation.

Keep silent, or let thy words be worth more than silence.

I hope you all you Pro Dak and Against Dak dudes read this like 5 times. Here is our real problem. The Jones Boys do not know how to lead.

The Saints weren't hot. They just beat the team that had the first pick in the last two drafts.
it might have the first pick again lol The Panthers are terrible. I live in NC and hear about it all the time. A lot of locals refuse to even go to a panthers game no matter how cheap it gets.

The Saints aren't hot after only oine game. However, they are for real.

The Saints have been quietly, methodically building their team into a true contender.

Eight of the last ten 1st round draft picks were spent on linemen, four on offense, four on defense.

The starting O-line consists of four 1st round picks and one 2nd round pick, although one of them is on injured reserve.

The starting D-line has two 1st round picks and a 2nd round picks along with two more 1st round picks in their rotation.

They have nothing but elite speed at WR and RB.

This Saints team was a ticking timebomb since winning four of their last five games in 2023. The explosion happened to occur against the Cowboys.

The Cowboys were poorly prepared and overconfident. Their lack of experience in key positions is partially responsible.
