-The Good
*Very little in this category and I mean little
*Oh look guess who makes this list for the 6th week in a row Aubrey
*The Cowboys had a 3-0 lead which lasted for all of three minutes
*The Cowboys are off next week thankfully
-The Bad
*Not much here either because everything is in the really ugly group
*My prediction, I actually had the Cowboys being competitive and only losing by three so much for that
-The Really Ugly
*Ummmm where do I start
*Ok the Cowboys suck especially at home where the embarrassment continues
*Four consecutive blow outs going back to last year
*Dak is once again a turnover making machine and signing him for 60 million per was a horrible mistake
*Red Zone offense man it's bad
*The offensive line, oh I thought we were going to be good you couldn't block me
*Five turnovers to none
*Nope don't wanna hear about the injuries
*16 yards rushing are you freakin kidding me
*The defense was going backwards all day and they couldn't stop anybody
*This is what you call "All In" Jerry
*Hutchinson's leg injury, I knew it was broken when they showed the only replay
*I turned the game off at the start of the 4th quarter because I was so embarrassed
*Hey Dak should we jump off the so called "bandwagon"
*The Cowboys as a team and an organization are a bunch of limp noodles with no pride
-Next Week
*Like I said earlier the Cowboys are off so we get a break from watching this pathetic display of football

The real bad is Dak. We know the D is short handed and isn’t any good to begin with. But the regression of Dak is very alarming. His accuracy and decision making has been all over the place this season. Even with a bad D we could still rely on a competent QB. RZ TO’s, awful throws, bad accuracy…..it’s alarming

It’s a alarming because everything around him is just as bad

Didn’t want to agree, but I have to. We can all blame whoever we want, but everyone knows the real issue. GM.

He's thrown a few inexcusably terrible passes, but you can count those on one hand for all season. If you watch the all-22 it is staggering how blanketed all of the receivers have been. No separation, no getting schemed open, and if Ceedee is taken away then the play is just over. Between that and how bad the Oline is playing it's virtually impossible for him to carry the team. This is a lack of personnel issue and a terrible coaching issue. McCarthy needs to go, his play calling is abysmal. How do you watch Rico have the game he had last week and then give Zeke 80% of the snaps this week? The predictable runs, etc. I feel like McCarthy has thrown in the towel as much as it feels like the players have. They have quit on him. Just put him out of his misery.

i agree but what are the choices in this 90's scheme, it needs MUCH better players all around to work at all...the 3 INT's in the end zone were all from the same route concept...they run zone floods inside the 10 and wonder how the low zone was able to back pedal 5 yards and pick it off...ridiculous.. but yeah Dak needs to just throw those balls into the stands and look at MM and say "Do better because this is a clown show"...he keeps trying to force it to CD and the other team is grateful.

Yeah, we suck EVERYWHERE but the QB is the face of the team and the one hoovering up the cap so he is gonna bear the brunt.

Blame the person most responsible for all of this first and foremost. The owner and GM, Jerral Wayne Jones…the oldest GM in the league who doesn’t have to worry about being fired EVER! He’s got a lifetime pass contract.

We can blame the coaches and players, but it’s the front office that’s the UGLY!

The coaching was bad. I didn't like going for it on 4th down from their own 38 with 2:43 left in the half. I especially didn't like the play they called which I thought took too long. It should have been some kind of quick pass or even a run up the middle. But I would have punted with the score 20-3. Then later in the game when it was 34 to 6, they had a 4th and 12 at the Lions 32 and they kicked a FG. What was the point? Might as well go for it on 4th down, even with a 4th and 12.

On defense, We should have been blitzing more to generate pressure on Goff. He had too much time and too clean of a pocket to throw from.

And whoever designed the defense that had Overshown covering Jameson Williams needs to rethink that alignment. Huge mismatch, but the kind of thing I wish our offensive coordinator would come up with. How about getting Turpin on a LB?

This team is just bad from top to bottom this year. I think bringing in Zimmer was a mistake. I think we need fresh blood next year. Jerry needs to take a risk at the coaching spots and find some unproven talent instead of the old goats he has been hiring.

When the kicker makes the good list, you know the rest can’t be great.

In all fairness to Dak, the line and no running game make it nearly impossible to succeed against a good defense.

That being said, Dak is paid to keep the team competitive. But he’s been part of the problem and his decision making has been rookie tier. He looks like a player that doesn’t have answers.

Jerry invested in a commodity that he was comfortable with, but Dak’s value to this team is far below what he’s paid. I think other players may take exception to that. It looks like a broken locker room and a lame duck coach that doesn’t particularly care about fixing it.

My dad has been watching the cowboys since the 70s and he’s starting to lose interest. Sad it’s come to that.

Im not sure any of the players believe in this scheme at all now....including Dak. The Lions got pressure on 45% of the passes thats ridiculous..Dak and CD mailed it in fairly early which is also ridiculous...MM is losing this team which isnt very good to begin with. The defense is bad, we can say injuries but that doesnt explain the Saints game...this thing is a powder keg in that locker room.

Execution isn’t there. Coaching is subpar but the players have been terrible this season. I can’t think of one player that stands out rn.

Dak sucked, but Zack Martin getting walked back into Daks lap says a lot about the state of the entire oline.
at this point its plain to see in Dak's body language and CD, they dont trust this scheme anymore and once that happens there is no reason for MM to be on the sideline...not saying that will fix it just saying its going to get worse if they keep him here this whole season. The finger pointing is one SF butt kicking away from starting and to be honest i dont see how this team gets it together in 2 weeks before going to SF who isnt even a good team right now.
