I understand this is what football fans do, but jeez there is zero perspective in every single one of these threads.

Brown drops the ball and costs us the game...cut Dak, Dak's not the guy, etc...Then it's cut Brown he's not the guy either. Fire Will McClay, This is Mike McCarthy's fault, Kellen Moore, blah blah blah. Many Cowboys fans out here acting like children after a loss. Keep in mind that the Chiefs went to overtime with the Texans today and the overreacting has a lot to do with us struggling against them last week too.

What it really comes down to right now is we have to be able to run the ball and get stops on defense. Today we were running the ball pretty well, but the defense played their worst game. I agree that Kelvin Joseph isn't it. But at the end of the day unless Trayvon Mullen is better then we don't really have a choice. It's not ideal when you lose two starting DB's. Then Vander Esch/Hankins being out really hurt our ability to stop the run. We weren't consistently getting pressure, but also Trevor Lawrence was slippery and hard to bring down and kept extending plays with his legs.

Now on the flip side, we haven't been THAT bad against the run every game. Hopefully we will get Hankins back at some point and Vander Esch as well. We have to do better there, but if we do the biggest concern will be the secondary. Hopefully Mullen comes in and has a shot at starting at some point.

First I really dislike when other fans tell fans how to react, second it’s not an overreaction if you saw what’s happening today a few weeks back when cracks were beginning to show, it’s not an overreaction when you knew the coaching was a problem, it’s not an overreaction when you know this season is going to end because they aren’t good enough, it’s not an overreaction when your franchise has 1 playoff win in decades, it’s not an overreaction when the owner is a buffoon that cares more about making money and marketing that winning championships

the injuries are putting the depth at display and the depth ain't that good. Joseph should be cut. he doesn't belong. our WR depth is bad. gallup is not fully there. the TEs are so so.

Losing this game in of itself is not the problem. We weren't going to get the 1 seed regardless.

It's the way they are playing. Slow starts. Penalties. Weird play calls at critical times. Inconsistent QB play.

This season was all about the postseason. Nothing else. Regular season success doesn't matter anymore.

This team is not as good as the likes of Philly & SF. I'm not even sure they are as good as Minnesota. We beat Minnesota. But overall they are a better team.

The Yankees are all about World Series or bust. That should always be the Cowboys mantra. It used to be in the 70's and 90's. It isn't anymore.

Awwwwwwww the don't make Jerry mad by being upset thread.

piss off

lol you're proving how miserable the fanbase sounds after games like this.

I stopped at "yall"

Yeah I'll go ahead and give back my college degree after using slang on the internet on a message board. Will give back all the money I've made (not much anyways) writing about sports as well...

Look, I understand the reasons. I'm just trying to give a little perspective. Reminding people to try to enjoy the moments instead of having expectations. But I guess that makes me a Jerry apologist lol. Personally, it's no skin off my back if people want to be pissed off, but it's also not going to help them any.

IMO the root cause of the overreactions is that the fanbase has seen so many promising teams fall on their face. As soon as there are signs of it happening again, it triggers fanbase wide PTSD.

Exactly this. We have seen this over and over again for almost 30 years now.

We always start fast, have a swoon after thanksgiving followed by a first round exit.

We on that same path now.

We shall see if it ends up differently but nothing about our play inspires and confidence on either side of the ball or with KM and DQ.

I actually do like MM but it feels like in some ways his hands are tied.

Don't think it's an overreaction when we have seen the exact same problems for 3 weeks now. We were fortunate to win the last 2 games but could have lost all 3.

This really is not a good team right now.

If you think this is acceptable football I have to question your knowledge of the game.

I understand.

I think this team is capable of beating anyone.

Hopefully they make a miracle run here.

We don't need a therapist, we need a QB. And a defensive coordinator.

This team just can't sustain success. All they had to do was make a 1sr down after the last fumble recovery. That's all.
