You would think one time when the Cowboy defense was having their bad stretches he could pick it up some to offset things, but nope. Now Cowboy nation has to live with this s..t for another 4 years.

We've gone 12-5 the last 3 season with hardly any "garbage time"

in fact yesterday wasn't even "garbage time" for him because we actually had a chance to win the game.

My bad. I also left out how he pads his stats against the tomato can teams like the Panthers, Giants, etc., to even out his stats from the good teams like the Niners, Bills, etc. I mean you would think just one time in 9 years Dak could play well and pick up the offense when everything else was going wrong. Just once.

Dak was the ONLY one who picked it up yesterday. When are you ever going to start asking the defense to pick it up for once? We win that game if they could have just stopped Henry a couple times.

Dak didn't do crap in the beginning. He hardly ever has the offense ready to go early unless its a crap team set up by a defensive turnover for him to make it easy. The defense pick it up. Huh, your funny today. I can't remember a time unless I go back to the late 80's when we had such a porous defense. No fight, no spine and soon as you punch them in the mouth they fold their tents and go home early. Zimmer is a joke, the coaching is a joke and Jerry and Stephen are a joke.

And Jerry has kept saying since the playoffs started last year, " The Cowboys will only go as far as Dak takes them". I guess Jerry isn't getting a bang on his buck lately. You guys that gush over Dak will just never get it. Good luck the rest of the season if you think the winning formula is your boy throwing 51 times a game.

Can't ever stop harping on this with you, but a football game is 53 players + coaching staff. It is NOT a tennis match between 2 QBs.

That is what makes football such a great sport, it is the ultimate chess match in sports.

Did Lamar Jackson beat the Dallas Cowboys yesterday? Or did the coaching staff who understood they could abuse the Dallas defense with Derrick Henry? The answer is actually ALL OF THE ABOVE.

How many of the 53 man squad make 60 mill a year? I'm sorry. I forgot to mention the coaches. I thought it was already a given in regards to me. But yes All the coaches sucked too. :nod:

Zeke's tank has been on empty for a couple of years now. It's why the Cowboys needed to draft a RB this year. But failed to do so for whatever reason.


Derrick Henry is a first ballot, no-brainer HoF’er. And when they put together the video highlights of his career, that stiff arm he administered to Caelen Carson may well be on it. There may not be a more lethal stiff arm in the history of the game than his.

Zeke is not Henry, but in fairness to Zeke he only got the ball 3 times yesterday and no one could run. We had 51 total yards between 5 runners.


Dowdle - 4.0 YPC yesterday...

Not proclaiming him the savior but on more than a couple of his 8 carries he made some tough runs that translated into yards. The other 2 (not including Turner or Dak)… not so much.

As the great Tuna used to say, it’s a results-oriented business. And right now, the results are Zeke averaging 2.0 YPG and Dowdle 3.8 (and Deuce 2.9).

Time to see what Cook has.

Yeah even that salary is just 20% of the cap. The other 80% needs to show up too.

If the NFL is chess, perhaps the QB is the Queen piece, but if all the other pieces are gone you're still f***ked.

Anyway, I know all this goes in one ear and out the other with you, but you still need to have it pounded in there regularly.

Yeah it looks like the coaches favor Dowdle. And I was wrong. I definitely thought the Zeke/Cook combo would be heading this thing. 29 is not THAT old, even for a RB in the NFL. Typically the drop off is 30-31.

Signing both Zeke and Cook looks like a blunder to me now. You brought them in here to have them on the practice squad and sit on the bench?

I mean maybe the plan with Zeke was to just use him in pass protection, and that is fine, but the Cook signing is a failure so far.

Mike Lombardi said that last year the Cowboys had a first-half differential of +120 points.

So playing with leads, they didn't have to worry about defending the run, which made Prescott and other pass rushers more effective.

This year in 3 games, the first half differential is like -40-50.

Defense isn't forcing early stops but it also sounds like offense isn't scoring early like they did last season.

Our lines are garbage. Derrick Henry ran for 151 yards and 2 TDs

The Ravens as a whole ran for 274 yards at 6.1 YPC

Meanwhile Dallas had 51 total rushing yards lol

The Ravens completely dominated the time of possession.


If anything, Dak gave the coaches something worth considering going forward.

Open this thing up.

Having success with a quicker tempo right now seems the best approach. I know that means exposing this defense a little more but this team HAS GOT TO start putting points on the board and continuing to use the run to set up the pass is insane.

And - if we’re gonna run, then let’s see what Cook has. We know what Zeke has. He’s washed.

Then all the Cowboys need is for their opponents to always think they have the game in hand and let off the gas.

Dak picked it up after the game was out of hand and after Baltimore had let off the gas. Dak gets no kudos for this game. He played like **** for 3 1/2 quarters. And yes the defense blows ass too, they’re just as culpable.

Mostly disagree, CeeDee doesn't fumble that is probably a TD. His passes were mostly on point but the offense couldn't run or pass protect.

Aside from that the time of possession was so lopsided the offense didn't have the ball much.

Dak is capable of playing a bad game but this one wasn't on him at all. It's time to look point at other players for once.

You must have been watching a different game. Dak was all over the place with his accuracy. Ferguson, Cooks, Lamb, and Tolbert all made acrobatic catches. He almost got Cooks killed with a couple high passes. I suspect thats why CeeDee was pissed at Dak during the game.

Yeah did you hear Shannon Sharpe go off on CeeDee? He thinks CeeDee's fumble is the entire reason we lost. And we both know it should be Dak yelling at CeeDee. CeeDee claims he was just acting out in frustrated with himself though, and not anyone else.

IMO anyone who watched that game should understand that the MAIN REASON Dallas lost was their inability to stop the run. Dak, while not perfect, had no INTs, and was the lone reason we were able to make it close at the end.

Either you are the goat or you suck. No in between on this site.
Dak is a very good QB who chokes in the playoffs.
Had you preferred they not sign him I’m right there with you.
The cowboys have given up the most rushing yards after 3 games since 1963. The saints scored TDs on their first 6 drives! The cowboys scored on their first three drives but were down 28 to 13. That clearly wasn’t Daks fault.
Dak is a bonafied top 10 QB. It’s also true that most top 10 QBs don’t win a SB. Dak will be one that doesn’t.
Let’s make fun of Dak when he chokes in the playoff games. Although we might have to wait a year. lol
I’m in no way defending Dak.
Would have preferred starting all over. Dak has not given me any reason to believe he can win 3 or 4 consecutive playoff games.
If old man bj responds to this post please write ( yellow)
to start your post so I know you actually read everything
and realize that I don’t want Dak here.

Its obvious to me Lamb can't stand Dak. I bet deep down he wants out of Dallas but can't admit it. The big side line dispute again along with the one in the playoffs with the Packers just a short time ago. So now we have 2 in the last 4 games played. Not a good look and a huge red flag for me. And of course we have the famous tweet last year from Lamb's mother. :ouch:

LOL I love Lamb, he might be my favorite Cowboys WR ever, but if anyone choked the game away between him and Dak it was definitely LAMB. If anyone should have been yelling at anyone it should have been Dak yelling at LAMB.

Lamb will tell you the same thing and it's ridiculous that I even have to point that out.

Lamb had two drops in the Packers loss too.

It's okay to say that Lamb f**ked up guys, I promise.

I disagree but what else is new. The main reason to me is coaching. The Egals did what I said should have been done going back to the Bills, Dolphins and Packer game from last year. AN EXTRA LINEMAN to plug, fill and disrupt the running lanes and gaps when your defense is getting gashed. Wow, just wow is all can say. Seems like when it comes to adjustments, etc., Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson are the only coaches we've had in our history that really get it. And now you can see why I am all out this year with anything Cowboys. Mike McCarthy is responsible for never having his team prepare in big games. Can't believe none of you can see it yet. And I don't mean you Mr. B. Oh by the way, I know you predicted the Cowboys to go 8-9 this season. I'll say it again. That was being generous.
