Talk about a huge game for the coaching staff. They’re all on the hot seat and the reasons are obvious. They’ve brought in a proven defensive coordinator to help out CP. The players have been accused of lack of effort. A players only meeting was held to address the issues. Jerry’s pissed. The players are pissed and the fans are pissed.

If the team comes out flat and loses then the season is going to be hard to salvage.

If the team comes out swinging in all 3 phases, shows some life, shows some physicality and establishes an identity, then maybe they have a chance to salvage the season.

A season defining game.
 
The only thing that defines this team over the past 30 years is inconsistency and mediocrity. Will that change after this game? I highly doubt it!

The most Dallas thing to happen would be for this team to go out and play a great game and beat the Packers convincingly. 95% of fans would jump back on the Dallas bandwagon and proclaim we are back! Then we finish the season at 8-9 and miss the playoffs by 1 loss. Giants win the division at 9-8.

I don’t want it to happen, but something like this is the most likely outcome with this mediocre inconsistent franchise.

Dallas should have did whatever it took to hire Brian Flores. Made him the assistant HC and DC. Made him the highest paid assistant HC in the league.
To many fans and owners, including Jerry, fail to realize great-defense really does give you the best chance to win a Super Bowl by far.
All our Super Bowl winning teams had dominant defenses!.
 
For me, the clock has just been reset with the entrance of Thick Mike Pettine.

Unlike Anne Sullivan, Mike cant be expected to fix this Helen Keller of a defense overnight.

Ima give the Miracle Worker time to do his thing......but thats just me, I don't expect others to feel the same because the Fatigue is real

Uh, you forgot to mention your "culture". Did you forget? lmao
 
The division is so bad that even a loss won’t end the season. But for all intents and purposes , it’s time for this team to start showing some real signs of life
 
Sunday's game will define the season
It’s highly unlikely to be the case. Every game matters, especially divisional games. This is a week-to-week league, and that applies to the Cowboys just like everyone else.

A non-divisional road game in mid-October isn’t going to define a season. At the end of the year we won't be saying "that GB game really defined our season" at all.

This season it will IMO.

Nice Post Rockport ,It's now or never, can Dallas beat a team like Green Bay that has dominated Dallas for 10 years. I hope I see Ol Sour face smiling a bunch up stairs and a bunch of high fives from the Jones clan come Sunday night. GO COWBOYS.
 
I don't like making excuses for this team, but I'm wondering if we may be expecting too much improvement on defense just one week into things with Pettine.
They just need to show some improvement, some physicality and some grit.
 
I'm gladly on the band wagon,why not. I'll admit I'm peeved about continental misjudgments. I fell into this hype by the hype machine. My fault. 9-8 could win division or a wild card. If they manage to get into the tournament I'm puttin Moon Disc on my band wagon.
 
The season is already a lost cause. Whether they win or lose in Green Bay doesn’t matter; this is an inconsistent team, and even with an improved defense, it will still only be mediocre. In the NFL, you can’t build a defense in just a few weeks. Will the defense improve? Likely. Can the Cowboys win the division? It’s possible. Will that improvement be enough to beat teams like San Francisco, the LA Rams, Detroit, or Minnesota in the playoffs? Absolutely not.Is time to start building for next season—finding a solid cornerback and upgrading the pass rush?Greetings from Spain, Cowboys Nation!

Yeah and Ol sour face Jerry can do the moon dance. Supposedly he was quite fond of getting mooned in Green Bay years ago. This team is a mess and all that Ol sour face Jerry can come up with is getting mooned, LOL. If only we had some leadership with some knowledge of actual football and how to not spread drama within the team.

JJ operates on the' infinite monkey theory' If monkey is taught to type eventually they'll type a novel.
So if you can be content with with theory everything will be ok
