What is happening exactly

Ok so this week bell didn’t beat us. We stopped the run like we did mostly last season except the rams game.. This playcalling is hurting us. When it obvious they are going to bring pressure on Dak the whole game I never saw a adjustment to use his legs, no roll outs or letting him run it himself. He can take hits running it or take hits when they make him stand in the pocket and get hammered.

We let a young QB that hasn’t played in a while come out and look really good. We put Lewis on the field and boom, he gets a pick. And at a nice time. Quinn comes in and gets a sack early and looked like we may have a sack fest coming and the pressure stopped.

Gallup dropped how many passes. One looked high but could have pulled it in. Cooper our with a bruise. This guy isn’t going to stay healthy.

We got our run game going and going pretty well.

But once again we come out and go down early. And not sure if it was me but didn’t the game go quick. I mean it flew by. Not taking that FG and sure points was a terrible decision by JJ. I say JJ because I think JG has been told to go for it more often then not. But you take the FG and points there.

Once again these refs man!!! That call for the illegal pick to take back the TD to Witten was a really bad call. The defender engaged him and it was obvious. Dak took so many hits yesterday that the defenders were hurting themselves hitting him. Some of these hits would have been called on us if we hit there QB like that. Of course we wouldn’t know because we don’t get that close. What other calls and non calls did you all notice that seemed off to you.

Is it just me or does these last 3 games look different that the first 3. After the saints game I assumed it was just one of those games we couldn’t get it going. Once the packers game was over I thought we were in a funk and would pull out of it. This week just looked like we aren’t that good or teams have figured things out.

Let’s figure this out as fans, what things are you noticing. Refs.. Coaches.... Players.. All of the above.

Things we know..

1 - The refs aren’t going to be consistent. Never were and it looks worse by the week.

2 - These playcalls and coaching looks to be reverting back to the old Offense. Yes I know the first 3 games were against lesser teams. But once we played better teams the play calling and game plan looks old and worn out. Nothing seems as crisp. What’s up there.

3 - Our Defense looks like the Defense that played against the rams. Certain players got a long term deal and have disappeared and disappointed.

4 - This whole team looks like it’s 53 players instead of a team. No one talks to each other. And JG just stands there and claps and stares at the field. The team has taken this on and sits by themselves. Perhaps a team building trip is needed during the bye week. Lol.

5 - JG is done. Unless we turned this around like last year and we win the SB then JG is finished here and I honestly think he knows this.

What else am I missing.. It’s hard to blame Dak for this game. He took a beating and played.
 
..there is no brains on the sideline. JG is mummified with fear. He looks like a kid, who had his candy stolen from him. Dallas has played in desperate mode last 3 games.
 
Garrett needs to be fired today. There is no sense in playing with this clown any longer. We cut ties with Wade in 2010. Do it now. The players no longer believe in him. Every team knows what we are doing. He even knows he has lost this team. You can see it in his eyes on every camera shot. Get him the bleep out of here.
 
Conservative.

That's the Cowboys. They play conservative on defense and have reverted to being conservative and risk adverse on offense after the first three weeks.

Yep, conservative and unimaginative. Could throw uninspired in there as well
 
The Defense is just not that good. They had obvious problems going into the off season. DT & safety and did nothing to address it. The failed draft picks of Charlton & Hill is starting to show.

The Defense only looks okay if the Cowboys offense can keep the ball most of the game.

The Cowboys Offense is not controlling or trying to control the clock like they did in year's past.

You have a poor Defense

You have poor coaching

You have a above average Offense weighed down by an average QB who cannot make certain throws & limits the play calling. A Qb who misses basic reads and blitzes. And has some accuracy issues which makes it tougher on the WR's. the play calling has not helped the QB and utilizing the QB's strengths as much as they should.

When you add it all together you have a 9-7 or 8-8 team. Right now they are 3-3. Based on the schedule they had they should be 6-0. Giants, Commanders, Dolphins, Jets. Saints with no Brees. Packers at home with no Davante Adams. Now the schedule gets a lot tougher..... they will be lucky to get to 9-7.

Amari sitting out.... does that have anything to do with not wanting to risk a major injury before he gets paid? If so it just cost the Cowboys a game.

And why. After watching this Offense the first 3 games it seemed exciting and new and quite potent. As soon as the teams we play got better we didn’t even try the new style.
 
What has been going on for the lats 20 years.... there is really no secret

1. Less then average ownership
2. Mediocre FO
3. Pathetic coaching staff
4. A team that as lost the respect of other teams.
5. Overhyped and over paid average players

Exactly!! You could see it yesterday...he is done...I would do it today and go into the Philly game with Richard as the HC the remainder of the year. He is the only one out there with Passion..The players have tuned Garrett out...Richard will kick some #ss challenge and motivate this squad. The talent is there...Need some discipline and heart.

To me, this is the biggest problem...seeing Dak roll out on a tuck and run to the short side of the field on a 4th and 2 was one of the stupidest plays I’ve seen. Why no deception there? Play action, yes. This team is beyond stupid on so many levels.
 
Need a new HC and for him to bring over an entire new coaching staff IMO.

The Jets game was definitely the wake up call and everyone sees that, but Jerry won't do anything until season ends.

The really sad part is that Tyron, Martin and Fredbeard seem to already be declining on offense. Not to mention, that Dak may not be the guy we hoped for.

Let's just hope that DLaw, Jaylon and LVE weren't just fools gold or this team is in serious trouble going forward!
 
When the opposing team comes out the day after beating you and basically says we knew exactly what they were going to do, you have a major coaching issue. Doesn't matter if the players execute or not, when they know what you are going to do, its tough to beat even the lower tier NFL teams.

This is not a one off deal with these comments from the Jets, we have heard this numerous times from other players as well in the past.

Bottom line - The Carrot needs to go sooner rather than later.
 
Point 3 I think can be spread across the entire team. And not just on defense.

The team also starts incredibly slow. I watch these last 3 weeks and it feels like it's halftime before we ever get the ball. I think this might have something to do with Moore's inexperience. It feels like he is better at reacting to the game and adjusting, then he is at planning the first 15 plays to get the offense going. Dak rarely has the ball in his hands to get into an offensive rhythm, and a lot of the fault here rests on the defense and their inability to stop these long drives from the opposing teams. Or maybe the team only responds with their back to the wall. All three games left you feeling like if we had 5 more minutes, we would have won the game.

I will say this though. JG stands and claps, but that's what he has done for years. The coordinators are letting us down now. Perhaps they bought into the hype early (and we as fans as well). Or perhaps they are simply not good enough. But JG shouldn't take the fall alone on this. I am ready to move on from JG, but equally ready to start over with the entire coaching staff next year.

I can’t disagree with firing him today. He knows he is gone by seasons end unless this team wins a SB and the way they are playing they will be lucky to win another game. The drop off from the first 3 games to the last 3 is crazy. The playcalling yes the talent in the last 3 games got better but the playcalling changes immediately entering the saints game.

If JG has truly lost the locker room then JJ has to know it. He is connected to the team. If so then do it. JG just looks like he knows it. Maybe he knows that Riley is coming in next year. Fire JG and let Richard take it over for the year and let Moore completely take over the Offense. Cause what we are seeing now is JG Offense.
