oh what an ugly season.
not sure if it is the oline or dak, but not games by putrid.

we are getting a top 5 pick the way we are going.
if it is dak, does not seem to be a good qb draft year.
there are a couple wr's in the top 10 in mock drafts.
seems to be 1 LT highly rated and tsmith seems to be a shell of himself.
there is bosa who is injured currently so that could be a dlaw replacement.
it may make sense to trade/let dlaw go as it could take some time before we are ready to contend.

Well...

We are about to play 2 bad teams back to back so we could very well be 3-2 in a couple of weeks and start buying into the false hope again.


Eventually though.. Garrett's philosophies will catch up to us. They always do.

He will have his most arrogant of moments schematically when it matters most and the pass game will be completely inept.

This is so true.

It’s like the season Romo went down and we were like 4-12. I remember calculating ways we could make the playoffs!

This team is a bunch of overrated turds.

seattle was also looking like a bad team...

well the lbs do look great.
the d did not have a great game though.

garrett and linehan are just hard to believe at this point.
i think they may well have lost the team.
i dont know what to think of dak and the ol any more.

The defense is good.

The run game is good.

The pass game is so bad that the season has no hope.

Herbert from Oregon was awesome Sat night vs Stanford.

you mean that bad detroit team that whooped NE. I know the NFL is week to week, but right now the Dallas offense is one of the worst in the league. You can't win in today's NFL if you can't pass.

There is NO WAY in hell we win both games. Much better chance of losing both games as much as I hate to say it..

Don't worry. We'll win another game and we'll hear about playoffs again and going 8-2 to start the season.

Either the Front Office knew this was going to be a non-competitive season OR they miscalculated greatly.

You decide which of those is worse.

Right now we pick 11th if the season stays on course.

Will be surprised if we can keep Stafford in check. IIRC usually does well against us.
Then the Texans game will be a legit test for Awuzie/Jones.

We normally feast on teams like this under Garrett and it provides the false hope narrative.

The brand of football we play really makes it hard for teams to just run away from us.

Stafford is just not that good of a player either and will turn the ball over.

With that said it's another game that will be a coin flip because that's just the brand of football we play.

2nd one, by a landslide.

Why? Because this isn't the first time this has happened. You know those fans that are optimistic no matter what? Even in the face of losing and clusterfudges, they are optimistic? Well, Jerry is one of those. It's great for a fan to be that way, but an NFL GM absolutely cannot be that way. Because if accurate evaluations are not made, glaring personnel errors will ensue.
