Dallas does not deserve to make the playoffs...

[RougeDawg]

They have about 3-4 drops in key situations. Dak missed behind a couple wide open receivers. Zeke has 9 yards on 5 carries. Defense playing soft. Bad special teams.

Sadly, the eagles are just as bad if not worse.

[KOdawg1]

It's sad when you're 7th in the NFL in defense and 1st in offense, and you're struggling to go .500

[OLJWales]

Jerry Jones said if he were an owner and had a GM doing as bad a job as he's been doing, he would fire him. What a **** nut. Until he releases a GM who will have free reign to run the program, Dallas is ****ed.

[Schultzy]

Maybe they should try running on first down some.

[DownwardDawg]

I love Dak, but I’ve never liked the Cowboys. I cheer for them only for Dak. If they had decent office leadership, I could really be a fan. I just wish jerry would get out of the way or Dak would go to another team.

[Matt3467]

Zeke for one is overrated. Pollard is a very good back without the drama.

[Cooterpoot]

Zeke for one is overrated. Pollard is a very good back without the drama.

Overrated-yes. But Pollard is not that good. Just got stuffed then put it in the ground.

[Dawgology]

I’ve never seen a coach do less with more. Not even JoMo.

[Maroonthirteen]

I'm a Cowboys fan but.... they aren't good on either side of the ball at the moment. The eagles aren't much better.

The saints v Titans game was on another level compared to this game.

[KOdawg1]

Dak sucks. I love him, but he's terrible

ETA: tonight. He's terrible tonight

[Cooterpoot]

Dak sucks. I love him, but he's terrible

Yeah, he's hurt. So is Cooper. If leading the league is sucking, what's good?

[msstate7]

Dak sucks. I love him, but he's terrible

That was awful. Gotta think shoulder issue is bothering him

[KOdawg1]

I mean tonight.

[Dawgology]

Yeah, he's hurt. So is Cooper. If leading the league is sucking, what's good?

This. He’s one of the top QB’s in the league right now...with a sprained shoulder and broken finger on his throwing hand.

[Quaoarsking]

That was awful. Gotta think shoulder issue is bothering him

To be fair, Cooper made a pretty poor effort to catch that, and there have been several other drops by various receivers tonight.

[Dawgology]

You can tell Dak is off a little bit from the injury but his WR’s and RB’s aren’t helping out...at all. Plus the Cowboys D has been very inconsistent over the past 2 months. It’s time for a big coaching staff change.

[MarketingBully]

After today they should fire Garrett. Just a mediocre yes man who isn’t a good head coach.

[RocketDawg]

That was awful. Gotta think shoulder issue is bothering him

Yeah, I think it must be bothering him. He's thrown too many off the mark tonight. Sailed it 2 or 3 yards over Cooper's head last series. And he was wide open. He's had a lot of drops too though, Witten being one.

[MetEdDawg]

Garrett is gone no matter what.

The question is will Jerry Jones step aside and let someone actually run the team as a GM and back the hell off? The answer is no, but that's what it's going to take.

I'll be interested to see who they hire as HC. Do they go hard after Lincoln Riley? That to me would be a Jerry Jones move. Someone young you can attempt to control.

[BoomBoom]

To be fair, Cooper made a pretty poor effort to catch that, and there have been several other drops by various receivers tonight.

To be extra fair, Coop probably still has some very sore ribs from when Dak put one high last week, and he went up and got it and took a lick for it.

[Schultzy]

Impossible catch.

But Play calling on 1st down is horrendous. Then on 3rd & 1 we pass then punt instead of running twice if needed. This staff is stupid.

[RougeDawg]

WR drops are the difference in this one. Yes, Dak has had some overthrows but the drops have been killer in key spots.

[Saltydog]

The knock on Dak is that he can't consistently complete passes down the field. That's been an issue w/him every season but it makes it even more difficult when you can't run the ball and their OL is very inconsistent.

[msstate7]

Cowboys are a joke.

[RougeDawg]

The knock on Dak is that he can't consistently complete passes down the field. That's been an issue w/him every season but it makes it even more difficult when you can't run the ball and their OL is very inconsistent.

He had two deep ones today that the receivers flat out dropped. Had a couple of overthrows but the drops changed the game. That and the continued Zeke up the gut calls when they clearly were not working. Feel like I?m watching MSU when I watch Dallas.

Side note. I do not know what pass interference is anymore. Gallup had one of his hands held down on two end zone throws the last two drives. I guess the replay is there to appease the saints after last season, because there is clearly still leeway on what is or is not PI.

[FriarsPoint]

Dallas will never do anything with Jerry Jones as owner. Ever.

[Commercecomet24]

WR drops are the difference in this one. Yes, Dak has had some overthrows but the drops have been killer in key spots.

It's killed them all year. Drops and fumbles in critical situations all year

[Political Hack]

Nobody in the division deserves to be in the playoffs. It's crazy that Minnesota or Green Bay or Seattle or San Fran could be playing on the road at Philly or Dallas.

[RougeDawg]

One thing I?ve noticed since Dallas has their hot start to the season, is going away from the creative play calling. Yes, they played stiffer competition but they had a creative offense the first 3-4 games and it has been absent since then. Makes me think that Garrett went ultra conservative against opponents with a pulse and limited the chances of the playmakers getting in space and making plays.

Watching Kansas City and their play calling, the Dallas offense would benefit from similar calls. Sadly Garrett and crew have wasted a talented team this year.

[msstate7]

Giants, redskins, and dolphins... there's the reason for the hot start. The cowboys have played 7 games vs the current playoff field with a 1-6 record

[Dawg_Lover]

Sadly, Jones will go to his grave short of the consistent winning team he so wanted because his biggest obstacle was himself. I hate it so bad for Dak.

[NCDawg]

The knock on Dak is that he can't consistently complete passes down the field. That's been an issue w/him every season but it makes it even more difficult when you can't run the ball and their OL is very inconsistent.

I agree. He was that way in college also-especially in the 2014 Alabama game when we really needed a win to win the SECW. Sometimes he looks great and then other times he's way of the mark. It could be his arm was bothering him more than he lets on about it.

[BogeyGolfer]

They have about 3-4 drops in key situations. Dak missed behind a couple wide open receivers. Zeke has 9 yards on 5 carries. Defense playing soft. Bad special teams.

I'm a Dallas fan as well, yes, pre-Dak...Dallas lack of effort throughout the year is what cost them this season. The D was terrible for most of the year and Cooper and Elliot take plays and games off. Dak is an above average Qb but also missed some big throws...JJ needs to fire Garrett and start over....

[Cooterpoot]

He is 3rd in the NFL in downfield pass completion average. That's in the air, not YAC.

[Dawgology]

This. I think a lot of people just parrot what commentators say, who parrot what analysts say, who parrot what fans say and no one ever actually looks at stats.

[Commercecomet24]

Exactly! People listening to talking heads to much instead of actually watching and looking at the stats.
