The ink isn’t dry on this loss, but I am ready to give my non-emotional thoughts and here they are:

1. The 9ers and Cowboys were pretty evenly matched, including the trenches. That’s encouraging.

2. Pollard’s injury hurt. It also probably hurt his pocket book. Pollard is a guy you want to re-sign but whatever I was willing to give him before the injury, CUT IT IN HALF.

3. Zeke’s best days are clearly behind him. Move on from him after this season. I don’t think I would even re-sign him unless it’s almost a veteran minimum type of deal.

4. We need another playmaker of offense. Gotta draft a RB with speed for sure.

5. Defense played really well against the run. The officiating was Ok for most of the game but in the second half the ref bias showed. Lots of missed blocks in the back calls at point of attack and holds by the 9er OL. There is a reason why the Cowboys defense suddenly gave up yards against the run.

6. This won’t be popular but I would trade Diggs. He has made way too many “business decisions”. When he gets paid he is going to mail it in.

7. I would PAY Quinn to keep him around. May not be able to keep him but you have to try.

8. And the elephant in the room—-our $40m per year QB laid another egg today. I would look to move on from Dak. Someone will look at his potential and give you a king’s ransom for him. But Dak just got clearly outplayed by a rookie QB. Dak SHOULD have had at least one more pick. That’s unacceptable and it’s routine.

Disagree on 4, unless its not in the 1st 3 rounds. Diggs has disappointed in last few games. Dak is what it is...

8.
There is no GM out there as stupid as ours to give the Cowboys a “king’s ransom” for Dak. There is no “potential” there going into Year 8.

I think too.

Overall this game was a step in the right direction. Compared to last year where we were essentially obliberated by the 9ers. This year we were going with them head to head.

I hope we can build on that.

Who makes that trade?

For Dak? Well, the Cowboys would have to eat all of Dak's restructure and signing bonuses leaving only his salary for the team getting him. Is there a team willing to trade a 1st plus other picks for Dak at 2 years $65m? I would think so. Indianapolis?

For Diggs? I suspect you would get multiple teams offering picks for him.

Our online sucks then. No push no holes no nothing. Dak is gonna get killed next year unless we fix it.

So, what was Davis supposed to do on the play? He is waiting for Dak to hand off or pull the ball. The DB blew the play up.

Get that block first....even if he has the ball. Protect Dak.

Why are you trying so hard?

I agree with this. 6 and 8 are perfectly spot on. we would not be here with out either one BUT they have to do better and be better. Dak needs what he had in his rookie year, consistency. Diggs should have had a INT and if he would have put his head up and tackled Kettle it would have knocked that ball out. Dak Gave them 10 points today and Diggs helped with the rest those too need to fix it or leave.

What are you talking about ,Dude . I didn’t remember Malik getting one carry. I just checked the game stats and he wasn’t listed as having one single carry

Cowboys need to draft a QB this year. Doesn’t need to be a first rounder but he literally got outplayed by a rookie Mr Irrelevant.

A prototypical rookie QB looks way more polished than Dak who’s a vet.

No it needs to be a 1st rounder. Waiting until the later rounds will get us nothing but another Dak or Romo. A QB Fun to watch but will never take the team anywhere

LOL that you think these are level headed thoughts

The biggest reason for loss was Dak and he’s regressing. Other player changes will do nothing until he leaves

What exactly you you see as radical or emotional about anything I said?
