This offense should work

But but...if we had Earl Thomas we would be an automobile playoff team and of Romo were still our QB we would have won 2 Super Bowls by now.

You don't know ****. You repeat the same parrot BS every post. And now after one game you think the season is over?
And even more pathetic that Dez would have helped?

Put away your Bryant boner, it's embarrassing.

There's nothing here more "embarrassing" that this sad,, ignorant crap you're trying to peddle.

It's really pathetic.

Yep..

When your argument is the system will work if you have an elite QB then I think the blame isn’t placed in the right area.

An elite QB can overcome a lot of garbage but they still aren’t overcoming Garrett in the big picture.

That’s why a great QB like Romo has 2 playoff wins to his name.

Yeah I wouldn't even mind giving dak a chance w a new staff..there might be something there...

Last year has a ton of relevance when the coaching staff is the same and the offense looks worse.

Not to mention the fact that Dak has thrown for over 250 yards once in his last 12 games.

Cool story! Why stop there? Why not include 2016 as well!?

I hate the phrase, "Whistling past the graveyard". Sorry Street, but it is what it is. This isn't a freak out, chicken little situation. This should be an awakening for all.

I guess I'm not worried. It's the first game of the season. If that is it, then what is the point of following the team?

If you're keeping score, that makes 5 times in the last 9 games that Dallas has failed to score 10 points. A new definition of ugly in Cowboys history.

A lot of folks are blaming Garrett and Linehan. Those like me quickly blame Dak. Others think it's the receivers, Witten's age, the lack of protection, predictability, etc. The answer is all of the above, sort of.

The real culprit here is evaluation. That, and diagnosing what the offense needs.

This offense should work. I like the idea of being one of the lone power running teams in the NFL. That team that can take advantage of small linebackers and defenses built to stop the high-powered offenses of today.

You simply can't run this offense without a top-tier quarterback. The organization - Jerry, Stephen, Garrett, Linehan, and maybe McClay - somehow refuse to understand this. They think if they build a passing offense with what Dak wants, a la Mississippi State, and use it to complement this superstar running game, it'll all fall in place. Just like 2016 all over again.

But the NFL adjusted. Dak is what he is. A 4th-round pick with very limited arm talent. That'll never change, so for the rest of his time here, he'll see 8-man fronts selling out against that run game, daring him to beat them. He can't, and they know it.

Shame on the powers that be to not recognize this. If other teams can diagnose this, why can't Dallas? How many single-digit scores and sub-200-yard passing games of evidence do they need to see? It's painfully obvious, even to a couch coach like me. (Apologies to CouchCoach.)

Dak's eyes were silver dollars yesterday. As Teddy KGB would say, "check, check, check, check!" If it wasn't for some late game connections with Cole Beasley.....that 170 yards would have been under 100.

People say it's just one game, but it isn't. It's 9 games now. This season looks to be headed to 4 or 5 wins. Did you see Jacksonville's defense yesterday? They might hold Dallas to 1 yard.

Garrett's days have to be numbered now. So are Linehan's, and so are Dak's. The disgust on Jerry and Stephen's faces yesterday was telling, although they should be looking at themselves. They went all-in on this Dak experiment, too. Jerry didn't talk after the game yesterday, which I thought was scientifically impossible.

I'll ask you to turn your eyes northward. There's a young man named Lincoln Riley who is getting a LOT of NFL attention these days. Jerry will need to backup the Brinks truck, but I know he notices. Riley runs a power run game with a dynamic passing offense. Sound like something Zeke could do.

But even that will require the right QB.

This franchise is, once again, in football purgatory.

This is ALL in the coaching staff's responsibility, and it all falls under Garretts leadership .

Look at Dak yesterday when we spread it out and just went hurry up. He actually established a rhythm and started moving the ball.


But this slow tempo lethargic offense with predictable routes is just too easy to defend.

The offense won't work if Dak can't even TRY to throw the ball down the field...one attempt of more than 18 yards, and it was the horrible pass to Jarwin.

2nd and 17 and the Panthers had 8 men in the box. The Cowboys ran the ball. That's on the QB...though going in a 2 TE set is dumb there.

I absolutely, 100% agree with this post. Every post game thought I've had has been about the evaluation process. At some point, someone in that building has to be able to say, "We have a problem at quarterback". The Sophomore slump is over. Now it's just inability. The process is over. Now its just incompetence. Can the Jones be that delirious? (I laugh at myself for even asking because I know the answer, but its astounding).

It's a poor point. Or a poor attempt at one.

This is carryover from last year. With the same people involved who inexplicably kept their jobs.

These clowns picked up exactly where they left off last year.

Uh, no. Rush is dog doody. Won't matter at this point we're probably headed to a top 10 pick, which we can use on a new QB. That should light a fire under Dak's butt.

Too bad drafting QBs is such a damn gamble.
