No idea what you are talking about. The cowboys didn't upgrade the DLine. At least that hasn't been my opinion.
Zimmer needs upgrades on the DLine for his D to be effective. Average DT's does not work in the NFL.

Where is the leadership ? Two games at home have been blowouts. No one on the sideline seemed to care. Someone had to start changing this culture of no accountability.

Actually, I’m not discussing offense.. Rant Long Rant coming!! DEFENSE LOST THIS GAME, AGAIN

I can tell you right now. this Loss is 100% about 24 defensive players and the defensive coordinator that is to blame, there is no other blame to go around.

There is no offense and no quarterback in this league past or present dead or alive that could win a game like that, because the defense was so horrible.

It was historically bad, literally historically bad for the Dallas Cowboys and worse first half of football in points scored since 1960 the worst defense outing ever by Cowboys defense…​


I still don’t understand how this gets twisted back to Prescott/Offense.

This game again was because of the worst defensive scheme and execution that the Dallas Cowboys have ever seen, do you realize that historically bad that first half was, it was historically a record for the Dallas Cowboy the most points ever given up in the first half of the game in the history of the Dallas Cowboys franchise.
There was no quarterback in the league was going to win that game. You can’t convince me otherwise, Patrick Mahomes passed for 158 yards and two interceptions and wins the game. It’s nobody nobody’s going to talk about it because his team helped him win the game look at the league.

I think it might be time for me to delete a lot these SM groups for the Dallas Cowboys because it has more clueless sports idiots and clowns on it than anything else. Supercasuals are born!!
They literally blame the quarterback and offense when it’s so obvious just like the Green Bay playoff game from the first snap.,The defense had no chance... you can’t win a game when your defense gives up seven straight touchdowns. It literally doesn’t happen in the game of football at any level.


They invented football that three phases plus coaching offense, defense special teams. It is a team game full of moving parts but the one thing you have to have you have to have a defense put up some resistance they put up zero resistance..NONE
it as if Kubiak was in Mike Zimmer’s playbook and he probably was. He literally knew what play was coming before it happened told Derrick Carr and they literally blew this defense apart from the first snap to the last damn series of the game.

It was some of the worst defensive football I’ve ever seen and that’s always sit here and talk about is the quarterback, there isn’t one in history not one you can find past or present. Nothing from 20 years ago. Nothing in this current era. There was no quarterback that was going to win this damn game that is a damn fact!!!


So whenever somebody wakes up and realizes that when there’s 53 players playing football, it only takes about six or seven of them not doing their job to blow the game up and one of them is not named the quarterback.
This game was horrible from the first snap and it’s why they accepted the football to begin with instead of deferring They knew about Zimmer. They knew his signals or knew what was coming when it was coming, and just literally destroyed Mike Zimmer, and this overrated butt smell of a defense.

Good points on the offense but the Cowboys need a playmaker at running back as well. Once we get behind defenses play a kind of prevent defense because they have no respect for our weapons other then Lamb. The Cowboys are playing all these backs because no one has any juice. It’s scary to me to think Zeke is our best running back but he is. The receivers scare no one outside CeeDee and to be honest Ferguson is good but he is not special.. Defenses make Dak beat them. As good as Dak is, he does not have a special arm and can get caught by dropping a safety or linebacker in coverage.

Defensively we have the worst defensive tackle room in the NFL and it’s not just Mazi. Teams are running off tackle because we have small defensive ends and the linebackers could not get off of blocks. That is not going to change. We have to get ahead of teams or teams will hammer us with a power run game. The secondary is dependent on the pass rush. The corners/safeties don’t have the speed to cover for long stretches.
WR/RB are huge needs for the offense and probably won't get addressed until next offseason. I really would move Parsons off the ball and play Kneeland at DE, he has shown the ability to set the edge, where Parsons is always looking to attack the QB. This has been an issue for years.

It matters for the psychology of this team. The doubt is now in their heads just like last year after the AZ game. This team may make the playoffs, but they aren't going to win. They may quit the weak leading up to it like last year with GB.
It's a wake up call, let's see if Zimmer can make the necessary adjustments that Quinn failed to do. Yes, he may also be that we don't have the right players to be successful. Time will tell.

I 100% agree with this. I haven't watched tape, too painful to see what really happened. Was it just a better scheme they executed? With Quinn the DT's too often played games and those games left the boys out of position but not sure about yesterday.

mr Cowboyny---thank you for your logical reasoning while encapsulating the many variables in early part of every season....we dont have playmakers....not trying to get a good RB

is really hurting us too.....and lopsided scores often occur first 4 games of season the way preseason is structured....what happened to this killer defense that shut down Browns????

but i think i will at this point agree with Dak that we will learn from this game and be better for it...i Hope Zimmer goes into warp drive of accountability....we are better than score of

this game...but this game exposed many areas of our weaknesses....when will Jerry and Stephen realize off season free agency is a big part of reloading team...not just the draft

especially when we pick in the 20's...how do Sheagles find a way to get top shelf players in free agency every year????.....i know Hurts is on rookie contract but even before then
Think the players started reading the papers and were overconfident. It is up to Zimmer to fix this in a hurry. Run defense isn't difficult, but you need to be disipline, which this defense has struggled with.

I was booing. Having said that I was surrounded by Who Dat. In fact the entire Party Pass (standing room only tickets) were NO’s fans. It was crazy! Katrina etc. I assume
I was curious if it was as bad as it sounded on TV. The broadcast audio made it seem like it was a Saints home game a good amount of the time.

And that’s example, roughly, 162 of why this isn’t a serious organization. Jerry’s play land isn’t a home field advantage what so ever. Imagine a home game at Arrowhead being taken over by opposing fans…would never happen

I care how they lost. I care a lot. Because I want to contend for a super bowl. Why does that not interest you?
The hope is, the team get better as the season progresses and plays their best football when the games count.

Playcalling was not great. Offense couldn’t execute.

Defense was lost and beaten. Zimmer was lost and we had no pressure. We competed on the first drive. After that the route was on.

The refs seriously need to be looked at. The first quarter they helped them to at least 14 points. The 70 yards bomb was an easy hold call on Parsons. I figured they would throw it and they didn’t.

All that crapp, but the truth is we are lacking at DT. Until that is fixed, nothing else matters.
DT is an issue, but playing Parsons on the edge even worse. Look where all those runs were taking place, outside runs right at Parsons.

These things happen. Once behind, it's hard to catch up if the defense can't stop the opponent. The lead gets so great that our offense must be one-dimensional to catch up. At that point, you are pretty much beat.
Our offense will be one dimensional all season. We literally don't have even one running back that could make a CFL roster as a starter. Teams are very rapidly just going to come after Dak full out and we have nothing we can do about it.

I admit that I've been coveting this Shanahan style offense for us , more than this uninspiring Tex Coast McCarthy offense .

But do the Jones trust young inexperienced Shanahan style coaches for HC consideration ?
Time they make the change, DC's will have figured out how to defend this scheme.

It will be really interesting to see how they respond. What is clear from two games, is every team is going to try to do what the Saints did.

I would do my best to take away Lamb, as much as doable, with double teams on every play. Make Dak go to his other receivers. No team is going to be scared of our run game. If teams can limit CD, does dallas have any response.

On offense, teams will continue to attack by trying to be physical and then use motion and quick passes to keep the defense off balance. Dallas is best when they can put Micah on the weak lineman and where we can attack non stop. When that is not available we have seen, this is a completely different defense.

Over and over they were avoiding saying Dallas looks stupid and weak. But at the same time praising the intelligence of the Saints and their toughness. They don't want to kill the golden goose as Dallas brings in the viewers even if it is other teams fans looking for a good laugh.

Yes, yes the sky is falling and the Cowboys never adapt to adversity. Let's not overreact to one loss.

Don’t think anyone is saying it’s only Dak, but he has to take some credit as he has managed just three TDs through two games. That same defense won last weeks game giving2 interceptions and three short fields turn over on downs where all the offense and your leader did was go three and out. If it was a team win last week, then it was a team loss this week. Where Dak comes into affecting the roster is the salary cap, we have paid for offense to produce hell or high water going back to Romo days. They are paid to put up TDs every possession, so three TDs in two game ain’t it. We needed to split that cap for offense and defense so we have a defense where you can honestly say we invested in it therefore they are accountable. Our resources have been spent on offense so it better produce, dak wants a run game, well maybe he should’ve thought like Brady and asked for less with the understanding that Jimmy will take the rest and get him FA that cost a little more to help him. Dak wanted the biggest salary ever and he doesn’t have the tools necessary to get the job done..so you get this for five years so get use to it. No way does this end any differently than the last time he was signed to a large contract, actually it’s going to be worse this go around. His line is gone, he doesn’t have a one two combo at rb, no Amari with ceedee on rookie contact. That time has sailed and he didn’t produce, now he’s slower with no ability to extend a play. His legs aren’t a threat and he offers nothing more than dunk and dunk. Only reason Henry looked good for the ravens in week 1 is bc defense has to protect against Lamar as a threat to run as well. He wouldn’t have changed this offense bc Dak lacks that threat, essentially Dak is now Marino without Marino’s arm. He’ll continue to take sacks and you homers will continue to blame his line, receivers, defense, etc bc yall can’t see the bigger picture that his salary cap affects the rest of the team and who we can field.

It was like that. I would say just my section was 50/50. And they are loud and fun. But who wouldn’t be when you score 6 times in a row?!

San Francisco found the weakness of Parsons and some teams are attacking his weakness. Like I said about the draft, we need to attack the defensive line in the next draft like we attacked the offensive line in this draft. We need more skill players with speed as well. I wish we would spend in free agency.
