This is exactly as I predicted

[Cowboy Brian]

A close loss to the Chiefs, Eagles & Commanders both lost. We're in great shape going forward, hopefully this close loss operates as a motivator for the team going into next week. Our offensive line is the best it's been since 2007. Waters looked good for his first game in 20 months, I expect he'll play lights out next week.

We've got a good team together with competent coaching and we're in an atrocious division.

Um, the entire defense? An OLine that is playing much better? A franchise QB? A very solid #2 WR? A hall of game TE? Seriously, get a grip people, we are fine.

 

[Sarge]

Were a good team because we're in an atrocious division? I don't subscribe to that logic.

Oline run blocking is awful

 

[pacy]

The thing is, we have Dez, Witten, Miles and a very good Oline and we again suck on Offense. Something is wrong here. Well, give probs to the Chiefs defense.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

We will win next week. Lose the following. Rinse. Repeat. Same ol Cowboys.

Yeah, I don't disagree. But that doesn't change what I said. An a conditioned Waters will help a great deal.

We are in great shape???? Really? How so exactly. Watching this game please tell me how you can think we are on gray shape. It's the same thing year after year. People we are not in great shape. We are poorly coached team that is overrated every single year. This team
Has 8 wins written all over it. We are not in great shape. Stop worrying about other teams also. Lets worry about our own disfunctional team first

 

[bayeslife]

I think the Cowboys are a good team, but this offense has to learn to over come adversity or we won't go anywhere.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

The other NFC east teams losing does not make things better. If Cowbøys cant take care of their own business it doesnt matter every1 elses.

Romo called a lot of the plays from the line in the second half. The OL played well, especially against this defense. They have 3 legit rushers. The one part of the OL that did not play well was Fredbeard. He got his butt handed to him by Poe. Be that as it may, Tony got pretty good protection today and he did not play well. I can not say why he had no accuracy, perhaps he is more injured then reported. Regardless, the play calls were Romo and that, to me was a huge problem for us today. JMO

Frederick had that one absolute whiff on Poe. Not sure yet who was responsible for that second sack. It looked to me like a miscommunication between him and Bernardeau (I think it was B in there at that point), but I don't know who's fault it was. Otherwise, he was pretty solid the rest of that time in his first game with an NT over him.
I was surprised we did such a good job defensing their running game, honestly. I didn't think we'd matchup well against a power running team, but we did a really nice job of it, especially along the DL.

The run blocking was awful, and for some reason, DeMarco continuously runs into his blockers instead of the opening. As if he runs the play as called and will not go anyplace else. Rushing offense and the design of some passes are so bad, it becomes more apparent when you watch a well coached team like the Texans or the Niners.

 

[NickZepp]

Kansas City could be the 3rd or 4th best team in the AFC. They won't win their division because they are in the AFC West. But they are real good. We played great defense today. Offense needed to control the ground game more. Just couldn't make plays when we needed to overall. But I think there's still a lot to like with the Cowboys.

Rams game next week won't be easy. Bradford is tearing up some teams right now. But it should be a lot easier. Need to protect home field.

I agree. Demarco is killing us IMO. We saw what Dunbar did, but unfortunately couldn't hang on to the football. We need to use our 4 backs more for crying out loud.

We are not in great shape. We are 1-1. You have 5 more losses the remaining 14 games in order to make the playoffs. It would have been a lot easier to go 8-6 over those 14 games then 9-5.

This really doesn't look like a team that's going to go 9-5 from here on out. Both units need improvement if we are going to go anywhere plain and simple.

I was with you until you said we're in an atrocious division. Eagles are playing well, the Giants always find a way to gel mid season. The Skins have played 2 difficult teams back to back, they'll get better. This is the toughest division in football.
