Game Day Washington Commanders at Dallas Cowboys | Postgame

After two games, so far it still looks like we will need to score 30 to win each week. Not a formula for success (see 2024, 2025)

If Daniels hadn’t gotten hurt, I still think we would have won, but it would have been like that wild giants game last year…like 40-37 or something similar.

I honestly felt like this was a continuation of last season with some new faces on defense…yet with the same overall product.

Still too early to know what this team will be.
It will and we have to
The offense was great last year and was brought back intact and should be expected to do the heavy lifting
The defense has 6-8 new players with a new system and a first time DC. Cannot judge them before around November except effort and tackling etc. If they play like they did against Giants then we have to call them out
 
Criticize the running game. With some exceptions, the defense was horrible. I hate the soft pass coverage and failure to assign a "spy" to a running QB (guess what?...you have three of them in your division alone). Plenty of ammo there.

But Dak could scarcely have done more. Easily the MVP of the game.
 
I had them at 14-2-1 but I didn't expect them to be this dominant the first two weeks.
 
As far as in concerned, my patience is thin these days

Parker can go at the end of the year

I'm willing to give him more slack imo. I don't expect this to be a top 5 defence, and I do think there was a lot of communication issues. I love the way he adjusted and used more blitzing. I like that he's trying to build the defence to be more physical, which we need. Right now the big areas to improve will be getting the QB down behind the LOS, cutting off QB running lanes, and better communication among the players. I think if they can fix those 3 things, that side should be better. I think we knew it'd be a WIP, but I like the way they're trying to build.
 
This could have been a game from last year. Same old story. Dak has to pass for 4 TD’s, questionable running offense, and defense mostly stank it up.

2026 all over again.

But I do hope we can dispense with the “Dak is trash” baloney. He was on fire today. Not sure another QB will have had a better Sunday.
