We'll certainly know a LOT more about Dak in six weeks. These are some legitimate defenses coming up. He looked poor Sunday, but that was largely the weather.

Chiefs, Falcons, Eagles, Chargers, Commanders, and Giants. That's a pretty salty lot defensively.

But, the Chiefs, Falcons, Giants, Commanders, and Chargers to a lessor extent have flaws that have been exposed. Only the Eagles look to me as unwinnable. And, they still think their victory in last year's final game over Dallas was a measure of their strength. The Eagles are playing a last place schedule this year.

At some point you really gotta accept that Dak is for real. Seriously.

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.
And earlier article described how they practiced with wet footballs

Steelers are a bad road team, most of the time..

If you think the Steelers defense was good last year, I can't help you.

Miami steamrolled them. So did Philly. They improved later on, but when you get to play the Brows twice and the Jets, it rather pads your numbers.

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.

This is on his ex girlfriend. She's the one who said she would ruin his life and then offered exactly zero evidence that he did anything wrong. That's because she knew all she had to do was dream up an accusation with no obligation to prove anything. Now any ex girlfriend who's pissed off about being jilted can just make **** up and get a player suspended. This is the NFL run by feminazis. Enjoy our great sport. Zeke could make the choice to not date anyone and just play football and some **** could decide to make some **** up. I have this crazy wild insane notion that a player should only be suspended if he's proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt in a court of law. No other standard will do.

Girlfriend?? That's was his choice. Girlfriend was a stripper or something worse??. Elliott needs to make better choices. The NFL didn't put him in this mess..HE did. Its not about guilt its about image. He made bad decisions that put his employers in a bad position. He embarrassed not only himself but the NFL with this nonsense. Now he has been held accountable not to the unprovable but to the leagues concept of their image. If he doesn't grow up fast...he will not be in the NFL much longer. Its on him and nobody else.

He made the evil choice to date someone he liked. No NFL players or future NFL players should date anyone. Got it. Sure glad that's cleared up.

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.


I couldn't agree more. Preach it brother.

I guess I am in the minority here but he wasn't married so he should be able to fornicate with less than savory females with no league repercussions. It that's just me.

What bugs me about this whole situation is that Zeke is 1 DV allegation away from being out of football.

You're absolutely are correct, but what pissed me off about Zeke, was here he is under investigation for DV, and what does do, but pulls a girl's top down and grabs her breast, like he didn't have a care in the world. Couldn't believe he pulled that crap. Hope he grows up.

I can't argue with that. Well said.

We're a really young football team, especially on defense.

Everyone on this team knows how important Zeke is to the team. I'm hoping it lights a fire under these young guys to go out and play harder than they've ever played, knowing that the chips are down and if they want to play in the postseason, it's going to take 110%.
