Dak was 9/10 for 105 yards before the heavy rain and wind started, and soaked the ball making it difficult to throw. I fault Dak and the coaching staff for not practicing with water-soaked balls, as we've seen Brady do this countless times.

However, Dak is the least of my worries for the upcoming 6 games. It's all about keeping some terrific offenses under 30pts.
What I'd like to see is Dak quiet all the doubters. Come out and go 4-2, 5-1 in these next 6 games and we will see some of the doubters here pack it in and jump on the Dak train.

What a glorious day that would be.

To add on #1.. if he gets another domestic violence charge, he is out of the league for good correct?

I would love to jump on that train. I'm waiting. I've just seen way too many young QB careers flash in the pan, then burn out.

I expect Dak to play well enough to win. The defense I’m more worried about.

6. The Cowboys' 2017 season is, for all intents and purposes, over. Time to start thinking free agency and draft. (EDIT: The Cowboys are certainly in the wild card hunt, but the NFC East is lost.)

Moron

The NFC East was lost with the losses to the Rams and GB, when Zeke was still around.

Cowboys will still win 11 and make the playoffs easily

That's very true. I've hyperbolized

So they go 7-2 the rest of the way.....easily? Just easy-peasy eh?

Yeah, who's the moron? LOL

Here's the fallout of Zeke's suspension moving forward in my opinion....

1. If Zeke does anything else, he's gets a full year suspension now. (He has six weeks coming all by himself to his own devices, so yikes.)

2. As I understand it from local reporters, the guaranteed money in Zeke's contract is no longer guaranteed. This is actually GREAT for Dallas if #1 happens.

3. I think this may doom Goodell from an extension. There will be a massive showdown between Jerry's gang and Mara's gang.

4. If Jerry wins, look for a lawsuit from Goodell.

5. Dak Prescott must now be the focus of the offense. Not sure he's ready for that, but we'll know in six weeks.

6. The Cowboys' 2017 season is, for all intents and purposes, over. Time to start thinking free agency and draft. (EDIT: The Cowboys are certainly in the wild card hunt, but the NFC East is lost.)

He could get a year for doing absolutely nothing if another ex decides to make up some BS. The player's CBO must change.

Thank you!! I've been screaming from the rooftops, the Chiefs have the 28th ranked rush defense in the league. We'll be able to run on them with this offensive line. It's more a question of whether our defense can hold back their passing attack. They have committed the fewest turnovers in the NFL. Basically, whether or not we win has nothing to do with Zeke being on the field.

Any wagers that Andy Reid starts the game with an onside kick?

If you don't think having Zeke affects the outcome of this game then i think you far underestimate how awesome Zeke is.

we've already had last year and the beginning of this year when the oline was looking awful and zeke was looking slow to see what Dak is made of. He's legit. Our offense will obviously take a hit without Zeke, but we can put up enough points without him to make games winnable. The real problem is going to be that defense. If teams are putting up 35 to 40 points on us, we're done.

Elliott is the difference between winning and losing TOUGH games..he is the difference between 40-10 against the 49ers and 14-10. He isn't just a "RB"..he is a Star and the best player on the Cowboys roster. Simple.

True. Its on Elliott and those close to him. HE and only HIM..Need to make much better choices. Think about Emmitt..Tony etc etc. He needs to grow up...think about what HE has to lose. This is on Elliott.

That's very true. I've hyperbolized on #6, but I'm interested in winning the East and getting a game at home.

Dallas can certainly stay in the playoff hunt.
Tough road ahead that’s for sure. But the more I think about things...if this team can beat KC it will give them a huge boost mentally...and possibly propel them here on out. They will have beaten one of the leagues best.

This team hasn’t played a meaningful game without Zeke. It may be a blessing in disguise. We’ll soon see what this team and coaches are made of.
