The good and the bad

[Chasing6]

A lot of good points.
But your last line with making moves with using a pick. I can't get on board with. They are more than a player away to be true contenders.
The one player may help get them into the playoffs as a 6th or 7th seed. But not to win the NFCE.

Best to wait and use them to move around in the next 2 drafts.

He said doesn't.

Doesn't matter.
MAKE THE PLAYOFFS ....
I don't care how the Cubs compare to the Cowboys. That is a poor analogy.

Not making the playoffs in lieu of a draft pick 5 spots higher is a loser mentality. PERIOD.

Does this mean you believe this roster/ coaching staff has the ability to win it all?

This has basically been our failed strategy for who knows how long.

The same with letting players play out their contract in hopes of a delayed comp pick, instead of trading said player for an immediate draft pick.

You’re in agreement with him. His last sentence was just a slight bit off.

Is your goal the playoffs or Super Bowl?

Can't make the super bowl if you don't make the playoffs.

The Good: Brandon Aubrey & Bryan Anger

FGs aside, how about his Kickoffs? Packers had to start on the 20 3 times and inside the 35 ?twice?

Anger averaged 47.5yd/punt on 4 punts and GB averaged 5.3yd/punt return

 

[Chasing6]

Can't

Can't make the super bowl if you don't make the playoffs.

Can't make the SB with a team slightly above average. To then only blame the QB.

 

[gtb1943]

The thing is with the playoffs anything can and will happen.
Getting eliminated is an afterthought reaction. I just can't understand this concept, hey let us lose, and get a better draft pick from the start of the season.

Look at the NYG. Dallas was the #1 seed, NYG barely made the playoffs.
They beat Dallas because of a Crayton dropped pass. And beat NE in the SB, by 1 inch helmet catch.

Do you honestly think picking 19th or picking 14th makes the big of a difference. Unless we go 1-16 with he top pick. And we all know that will not happen either.

No you are very wrong
No team is going very far with the defense we have

This is just another participation trophy copout

Too many Cowboy fans love hanging out at the rim and thinking this is our year.

Just wait until we are 4-2-1. They will think we are a legit SB team at that point.

 

[My3Sons]

Can't make the super bowl if you don't make the playoffs.

I wouldn't waste a post on stating the obvious, Mike. The Cowboys have made the playoffs 13 times since 1996. How has that worked out?
Do you believe this current roster/ coaching combo can win the Super Bowl?

I hope that doesnt happen.

Jerry will get an itchy trigger finger on those new draft picks has.

 

[McKDaddy]

Williams finally makes a play, but guess what. Penalty. He is just a DUMB football player.

I can't call a player trying to make a tackle DUMB just because he got the face mask.

He has made some bone headed plays no doubt but trying to tackle a guy who is moving, bobbing, fighting you off isn't easy. Sometimes you're gonna get the mask.

Jerry thinks we almost beat the Eagles and the Packers, that means we are SB bound.

He also has amnesia about getting spanked by the Bears.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

All teams that make the playoffs have a chance. It all depends on the injuries.

yes, true, but the probability of winning differs depending on the team. if you don't have a good defense you almost have a zero chance. specially if you are ranked last.

Its a culmination.

I believe Dak and the offensive coaches gives them a chance in any game, now getting to the big dance will be hard if there is not signs of improvement from this defense.

 

[Coogiguy03]

Why the face palm. It is a true statement.
Do you want to make the playoffs?
I sure do.

I just want to be happy, want everyone to be happy not with all the drama that goes on, oh damn sorry, YES of course I want us to make the playoffs, but more so want us to be on all cylinders in the playoffs

 

[bsbellomy]

First of all. Wow what a game.

Seeing the way Dak is playing right now, missing 2 starters on the OL and his WR1 is actually awesome. Javonte Williams (Ill eat my crow here) looks fantastic. I was not expecting him to look like this and I hope he can sustain it. I just wish this team had more options at RB.

Pickens. WOW. Good for him. Hopefully he can keep his head on straight and not lose his mind if the game isnt going according to plan.

It was great to see this team raise their level (at least on offense) when no one including myself gave them a chance.

Now the bad.

Lets start off with the whole Micah storyline the whole lead up to the game. My God let it go. He's gone. I ain't happy about it but talking about it constantly plays right into this teams owners hands.

This defense may be the worst thing I have seen in a long time. It may be worse than the defense that gave up the NFL record of first downs in a game to the Saints. There is literally nothing they do well.

This is by far the worst group of LBs in the NFL. No hope here. None.

DE - Williams finally makes a play, but guess what. Penalty. He is just a DUMB football player. Which they knew before drafting him but hey, Jerry loves his second round projects.

Corner? Where? This team doesnt have one. You can see why Elam was let go of so quickly. What a mistake.

This offense is unfortunately going to probably cost this team valuable draft position. The way Dak is playing he may take us out of a top ten pick.

My main prayer here is that Jerry doesnt see this team do well against the Jets and Panthers and make a move with a pick.

I honestly think if Elam tackles a guy after a 12 yard gain that he thinks he's done his job.

That's fair.

I think it is highly unlikely. I saw this Cowboys team lose to the Bears by 17. The same Bears team that lost to Detroit by 31. Obviously, that is not transitive, but I do not believe the Boys can beat Detroit, Philadelphia or GB in a playoff game. Not this team, this year. The DC looks to be totally lost.

To your point, Dak looks great. He is clearly a way better QB when he has a running game. Keep him and Williams healthy and they can play with any team on offense, but this defense will not be fixed by adding a player or shortening the defensive alignment terminology this year.
