1)the NFL is a corrupt organization and officials are participating in the corruption
2)the Cowboys have no run game
3)the Cowboys cannot stop the run
4)Mike McCarthy will be fired at seasons end (he is an idiot, always misses good challenges, poor clock management, cannot discipline and has not control)
5)Dak will be sent packing
6)subset of 4, this is an undisciplined team and poorly coached team
7)the Cowboys will not even win the first round in the playoffs
4,5, and 7 are not true, the rest have been evident all season

Talking like these things are locks to happen always makes me laugh.

MM isn’t going anywhere
Dak isn’t going anywhere

They will have to sign/draft players to help stop the run.

They will have to sign/draft players to block.

They will have to sign/draft players to run the ball.

I have been very critical of Dak. I wanted him gone last year. I wanted him gone earlier in the season. But he has made significant improvements, so much so that in don't see how we don't give him another contract. I think he is finally starting to understand the game. Yesterday was not on Dak. The oline failed miserably. He had no time. Also we had two drives start inside our 5. Those were wasted possession especially when you LT don't want to block.

Defense did well holding the dolphins to 22 and only one TD, especially with Tyreek Hill. We had to play the different because the dolphinsnare an extremely fast team with Waddle, Hill, and Achane.

If you think MM is going anywhere you are crazy. You don't fire a winning coach.

We need a LT, RB, LB and WR next year. Although WR is not too bad with cooks starting to emerge a bit.
Or move Tyler out to LT and we need a LG. That and LB are the priorities to me. RBs are easy to find (at least for other teams) and I think Cooks and whoever emerges seems enough at WR. Gallup might even get back to where he was

While dak has played at an mvp level at times this year I don’t put him in the elite “go on a sb run” qb range. We can get over that hump with either elite qb play or elite coaching. We don’t have either.

Jerry doesn’t want to really want win. He won’t break up an 11 win team.
All of what you are saying is true but Jerry has no guts.
They could have made some trades but chose to stand pat.

Will be very interesting to see what they do on the left side of the oline after the season.
Personally I would love to sign Tyron for 2 more years, pay him fair money but not stupid money. I think he would give the home town discount knowing he breaks down too much anymore.
Make a descion on Tyler, at this point I don't care which position LT or LG. He will be great at either !
If he stays at guard, we draft at LT round one - there will be a couple left by the time we pick, I trust McClay to find the right one. Tyron becomes the swing tackle kle and mentor to our new LT.
We should have drafted our RB in the 2nd last year instead of the TE. Charbonnay was what I was hoping for, this year we need a bigger back in that vein. I would like to keep Pollard in the role he had behind Zeke, but not paying hin 10 million. He's not a starter but if he wants to stay he can be useful. Also need a MLB.
That's our main 3 needs in my eyes, but who knows what they will do !

I agree with this. Although I would like to take an RB a bit sooner. No later than mid 2rd. All the top backs are late 1st to mid 2nd. LT is the priority though. I would hesitate to move Tyler Smith he is quietly having an All Pro year. But it may be easier to find a LG.

4 and 5 won’t happen this season .

jerry will give MM another season at least . No alternatives at this moment and Jerry can always say MM has won 10+ game and got to the playoffs 3 times in a row .

dak was almost mvp of the year. Jerry committed to Dak at least 3 more years, almost to a fault . No forward thinking here .

This team‘s best chance is to beat Philly away and then try to upset the niners away .

My problem was that fins were missing all those oline and we couldn’t get pressure. Quinn can not make in game adjustments. No excuse to not stop the run all day. Or come after tua. I think I saw 1 sack…
He been slacking, if he cant get pressure its a done
Fat boy is an idiot. This team is undisciplined in penalties and mistakes. fat boy is the worst in clock management and challenges. fat boy can not get this team Up for big games. What more do you need to see?

I learned that 2 weeks ago there were a lot of people taking victory laps, ignoring all the red flags and caveats in a rush to crown Dak as MVP.

Lot of alking about what a great job the FO had done, MM coach of the year, and calling out anyone that pointed to those red flags as miserable naysayers that would regret it when we won it all because we hadn't enjoyed the ride the same way as the true fans...

So...does this team "just feel different" to y'all now?
Super Bowl, and the MVP........baby.....

You may have two of the above correct at the most.

Losers find a way to lose.. Winners find a way to win. Dallas is the former for the past three decades. Of course, for Jerry, he has been "winning" so he ain't bothered.
Your logic makes absolutely no sense. I guess Tom Brady is a loser. He started 21 seasons and only won 6 SB's. So he found a way to lose 15 times.

I must have said this 5 million times in the last 5 years……come playoff time, you need to be able to do 2 things:

1) run the ball effectively.
2) stop the run.

we havent been able to do either and I’m not convinced these clowns even get it…..so, expect the same results. It’s not complicated and to get upset at these losses is pointless.

I see hope for 2 and 3.......
We are getting Hankins back ( we now know he is underrated )
We are starting to see the old more explosive Pollard
Tyron will likely be avail for playoffs
BTW.......If it were me, I'd put Tyron on a small snap count for the next two games ( max 1 half each game )
