I never want to hear Dak slander ever again. What he's done for over a decade now just doesn't happen in today's NFL. We're watching the defending SB champs trot out Sam freaking Darnold who can't sniff Daks jock as a QB, and having him throw the ball 50+ times.

And for the love of God can we just have an average defense. We're a SB favorite if we can stop a nosebleed.


Sam is hot and cold. The Hawks got lucky last year when Darnold got hot to finish the season. He's crashed back to earth. But I'll agree that the cowboys need a great defense to get over the hump. The 92-95 cowboys always get praise for Troy, Emmett and Michael but it was that amazing defense that won those Superbowls imo

Absolutely! The triplets and that O-line get a ton of credit because back in those days points were harder to come by and they were a HOF level good at multiple positions.

But that '92 team beat a crazy good SF team at home mostly because they pressured Steve Young all F'n game long. Young did everything he could with his legs and arm, but Dallas just kept coming.

Once in the Super Bowl, it took Dallas a couple drives to settle down, but once they did, I remember my Dad and I looking at each other and saying "Kelly isn't going to last if this keeps up". And at the end of the 2nd Quarter, down he goes.

52-17!

And I have to say, I remember how I felt when my Dad (in the 80's/90's) talked about the Cowboy Super Bowls of the 70's. It felt like he was talking about ancient times (because it was before I was born), but in reality, it was only 20 years prior.

And now, here I am, talking about the old Super Bowl days, and it was 30+ years ago. My heart breaks for the Cowboys franchise as well as my old bones!!!

With Hurts done and NY and Wash. weak, Dallas needs take advantage tonight to make a move to win the conference. Huge opportunity.

With Philly and NY currently losing and the Skins playing SF tomorrow, this is setting up for a classic scenario where the Cowboys trip over their own dicks tonight.

Saints made a blunder not going for 2 when they went up 33-10. Then they put in their backups and started throwing the ball. Unbelievable.

Giants miss on the 2nd conversion, but game still not over.

How do you not fire everyone if you're the Chargers and trade Herbert for whatever you can get?

Good chance to gain on everyone in the division. Everyone else in the division is hurting in a big way. Can't keep sputtering and losing winnable games.

At the same time, they could end up with one of the best picks in the draft and take Jeremiah Smith to help out Herbert.

If their line is healthy and McConkey is healthy to go with Jeremiah Smith, they'd be just fine.

Their guard to guard o line is probably the worst in the league. Jeremiah would help a ton, no arguing that. And clearly I think the entire staff is going to get gutted which should also help.

The boys have to find a way to win tonight. Have to. I mean throw it kitchen sink it this thing if you have to.

If Alt and Slater are healthy they may have the best tackle combo. Granted, both those guys are constantly injured. They added Biadasz, and he's injured, and I'm pretty sure both expected starting guards are injured.

They've just been completely ravaged by injuries. Their defense hasn't been awful. I'm not sure it's a major rebuild.

You have to fire everyone, and dare I say we are getting dangerously close to hitting eject on this entire thing.

Vibe guys like Schotty have a very short window where they positively impact a team before play falls off, if they have one at all. I think he's the latter (no window at all), but even if he had one, it has closed

It's a very unlike-able team.

The NFC East is pitiful

This is why it's ridiculous that a division winner will get a home game in the first round of the playoffs.

If the cowboys win half their remaining games, they will be 7-9

Chargers? Might be pretty close though.

Edit: Ok, as far as the actual 2026 schedule...The Eagles, Cardinals & Colts. Two birds and a horse.

Well you can go ahead and remove the Cardinals from that list. Even when the cowboys have a clearly better team than the Cards they can never seem to beat them. And we know this Cowboys team is terrible.

This team is poorly coached. The pieces are there to be a good team, but we'll never see it because Jerry refuses to invest in the second most important position in football: HC.

Jerry needs to begin thinking about blowing this up entirely if it continues to go downhill. HC, OC, DC, staff, QB, WR, and so on.

This team is significantly worse than last year's team when we actually had a potent offense paired with a **** defense. This year both are equally bad.

Offensively it's difficult to determine what the issue is as the personnel is mostly the same. The fact that they can't beat a blitz is the most glaring to me. As soon as the other team sends a few guys after Dak he looks for a hot route and there is nothing there. Meanwhile our defense blitzes and 8/10 times there is a back or TE standing alone in space that grabs a three yard toss and turns it into 9 yards.

Listening to clips of *****ty's postgame press conference this morning and the guy sounds absolutely cooked.

Hey Alex, can I swap them for the Seahawks please in order to maintain an ornithological approach?

I think you have to blame Schotty that Dak has regressed against the blitz. Pretty sure in years past Dak has consistently made teams pay when they blitzed. Daks biggest issue (in the past) has been when the middle of the pocket collapses right in his face. It's part of the reason why we locked down our interior O-line and Dak has been really good ever since.

Last week against the blitz we had every guy running deep / long developing routes. This week we regressed to the "stop and turn around" routes and GB jumped everything.

Zero mid game adjustments. It's madening because A&M (all year long) has been unable to scheme WRs open... and now for the past 2 weeks we see Dallas with the same issue.

And to add a little salt in the wound... Dallas had 10 days to prepare for GB.
