This team is still horrible

[jwitten82]

Yea, im gonna be that guy and injectsome realism back into yall. Our defense is still garbage, the offense is still garbage. Mazi will be fighting for job next season, Zeke will be retired, MM and Zimmer will no longer be here. This teams needs a ton of work

Everything you said was true 24 hours ago.

Did something happen to change all that?

Yea, got people thinking Mazi is good, and so on and so on. Ya heard meh?

 

[Bobhaze]

One win. It was a fun, crazy and exciting football game today. But I also remain firmly convinced this 2024 Cowboys team is not very good.

 

[ICP]

If you average the past seasons since Dallas won a Super Bowl they have basically been mediocre. With the remaining schedule they just might get there again and miss the playoffs as well as a top ten draft pick. I doubt any of us would be surprised by this.

 

[Catpappy]

Was a fun game and we ain’t had that in awhile.

 

[Streifenkarl]

The win, or any upcoming wins this season are the worst thing that can happen to us.

Anyone enjoying that is like a toddler having fun with a dog turd.

I'm happy for Cooper n all, but this win just hurt us in the long run.

Allow me to inject additional realism.

Yeah, they are horrible, but just good enough to destroy any hope of a high draft pick.

They won't make the playoffs, of course. However, they will go on a small win streak and I think there is a good possibility of a signature "Garrett" season.

That is, they will end up 9-8 or 8-9

Two of their next three games are against the Giants and Panthers. Between those games, they play the Bengals ten days after the Giants. Obviously, there is no guarantee, but I wouldn't be surprised if they win their next three games.

That puts them at 7-7. Their last three opponents are the Bucs, Eagles, and Commanders. I believe they will win one, perhaps two, but not all three.

They will miss the playoffs and the top ten of the draft.

Just to rub salt in the wound, they will look better in December than they have all season long.

Why do I believe this?

This team was destined to start out struggling due to the loss of some players, a different defensive scheme, and a great deal of youth. They started three rookies in game #1, two on the O-line.

The idea was that the team would improve as season progressed. The young players would learn through experience.

However, the Cowboys didn't anticipate a devastating chain of injuries that wiped out their entire DE group. I'm not sure if their two All Pro CB's were on the field at the same time this year. Perhaps one game? These were supposed to be their areas of strength that would carry them through all season long.

Now, the younger players do seem to be improving and some of the injured are trickling back into the lineup.

With that said, Dak's injury was the death blow.

One last piece of reality:

The offense didn't score enough points to win this game. The score is inflated by two great special teams plays. The offense was responsible for 20 of the 34 points.

Additionally, the offense's last two scoring drives started on the 50 and Washington 44. The first was the result of a punt after a three and out. The second was a forced fumble.

Until that point in the 4th quarter, the Cowboys had what seems to be their "signature" score this season, ten points.

 

[Blackrain]

This team has become almost as painful to watch win a game as it is to watch them lose.

I don't think I've ever seen such a stupid group of players and coaches assembled together on one horrible team.

A perfect example of the cow that gives a good bucket of milk and then kicks it over.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

I enjoyed the win, but I certainly will not be calling this team good or anything close to it. Washington is over-rated.
Odds are they will probably beat the Giants for a two game winning streak, and again, I will not be considering them a good team.

It was fun to watch the circus in action. I agree. I really had fun watching the train wreck. But you remain firmly convinced of what? You mean you're sane.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Yea, im gonna be that guy and injectsome realism back into yall. Our defense is still garbage, the offense is still garbage. Mazi will be fighting for job next season, Zeke will be retired, MM and Zimmer will no longer be here. This teams needs a ton of work

I mean no one said they weren’t. I’m team tank but when I watch these guys play hard and act like kids jumping up and down from excitement of winning? I can’t knock them. They beat a decent team yesterday as 11 point underdogs.

You have some much confidence our management can take advantage of all thd losses. Im jelly.

I completely agree. That last 5 minutes showed you just how low IQ the team is and how some guys refuse to tackle.

It’s a bad team with a ton of holes.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

No Ferguson, Martin, Diggs, or Smith.

Cooper Rush ain’t the QB to tank with apparently.

 

[Flamma]

I think we win 1, 2 games tops the rest of the season. We should still get a pretty good pick with 6 wins. I think Tampa and Cincinnati are going to pick us apart. Washington's young, injured QB is having some issues. He'll come around. He's still young.

You don't know, for a fact, that it was the 2 st plays thats won the game.

This two plays removed 2 drive opportunities from the offense.

I know...I KNOW! ....a bit preposterous. Your assumption is sound...but still...an assumption.

The Cowboys put their most complete team game together....a rare sighting. They'll need more like it moving forward.

[stiletto]

It would be VERY 2024 Cowboys-like to beat Washington on the road and loose terribly on TG to the lowly Giants at home.

Get yourself a tetanus injection, since you're hanging in a garbage pile. You look like PigPen from Sesame Street! Lol
