Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Only for football morons. Football is a team game and while QBs are generally the most important positional group on the field, this isn't like a starting pitcher or hockey goalie situation where basically one great guy can carry teams. Dak has had some good games and some poor games in the playoffs, but for the most part, it paints the picture of a good QB, who has played pretty well for the most part. The Niners games maybe him being guilty of being below average and those were on the road against the #1 defense in the NFL one year and a top 3 in total defense in the NFL the other. Hardly chumps. In his losses, the defense averaged 31 points given up so basically he needed to score 32 points in his losses, that's higher than most #1 offenses in the regular season, so it also shows the level of defense being played particularly at home. You know who else averaged about 280 yards and 2 TDs and 1 INT in their playoff games (Dak at 92 QRtg) -- Tom Brady (279 yds, 1.8 TDs, .8 Ints with a 90 QRtg). Am I arguing that Dak Prescott is as good as Tom Brady? Of course not, not even a little, but it's always interesting contextually to understand how much winning championships or playoff or even regular season is a team success metric. Football is probably the most team oriented major sport in the playoffs and while Dak had a chance in SF, he generally has had his defense fail him in the playoffs. This year looks no better...... Jerrah has failed this fanbase and organization year after year after -- mostly with Romo and Dak playing QB, but make no mistake (not calling you out, general comment) winning ships isn't on one guy, that's elementary analysis.

Probably why they have such similar stats and effectiveness throughout their careers. In short, Jerry has wasted about 2 decades of winning the QB lottery - UDFA and 4th round. Think about if we hadn't lucked into both? And we were marching never will's like Drew Hensen and Quincy Carter out there along with over the hill guys like Drew Bledsoe or Randall Cunningham's of once great players who were just trying to hang around the league. We'd probably be starting Joe Flacco right now.

Midseason and like you're seeing with Diggs and Bland, he won't be 100%. That takes about half a season. So, in 2026, hopefully he's 100% back and not thinking or managing his injury. This isn't like broken hand stuff, these are major injuries which take awhile to get back fully. Players can be greenlighted way before they are all the way back from these major injuries. Bland and Diggs may look more like themselves in teh back half of the season or they may not get back all the way at all. We'll see... Agreed. Or even a bad D we're 2-2. We have a historically terrible defense and with the offense that is probably top 5 in the league who are currently have below average OT's, are missing a top 5 WR in the league and really don't have great depth at an position. 5th in points and 1st in total yardage and pass yardage. Dallas D is last in yardage allowed (by quite a bit) and 31st in points allowed by 1 point to the Ravens who are 1-3 and played a harder schedule than Dallas.

Wow..... an amazing effort by the offense and Dak. I guess, good on the defense not giving up a TD on the last drive, but it was so poorly managed by LaFleur and company, it's hard to really give them too much credit. Just awful game and clock management.

Someone needs to make a big play..... a strip sack, a batted ball, a forced fumble.... something.

I think you have to go for it on 4th. Fuck it..... this team probably isn't going anywhere. A FG with this defense is self-defeating. They're going to need a GB mistake like a fumble for no reason to win now.

So..... 1 then. 3 and 3. Let's come up with something smart.

Flag every fucking return...... 11 penalties tonight. Still a poorly coached team.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
This is consistent with every game this season.... not a new happening. It's obviously coached this way or the CBs are some of the dumbest motherfuckers in football and don't understand down and distance.

Elam is so fucking bad. This defense is so fucking bad. Maybe the worst in history.

Worst secondary ever..... Make any QB look like fucking Joe Montana.

I'm not really understanding LaFleur right now.... Just drop back and fire. Dallas' D sucks that much, you don't have to get cute like he's doing.

Who did they go after on that 3rd and long..... Bland..... not fully healthy. But go get a CB because Diggs and Bland aren't nearly healthy and you drafted a rookie already hurt? Nah. Let's set still.

Clowney just made a good play in run D!

It's so bad that this may be the best strategic decision you can make........ That's how bad the defense is.

Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
I mean..... are you expecting the Cowboys to win this game? No, no, no..... Hey, direct snap shit. Look at the offense.

Guytons' getting better.... He may be a good RT by next season. At least he's progressing. It's rough some but definitely evolving. Steele..... eh. He just sucks. What a fucking audible by Dak!!!!
-
Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
He's so bad in coverage. He needs to be a read n react first and 2nd down run guy and he's so bad in coverage. He's not talented enough to be a 50 snap guy.

Look at that..... Ferg with a huge play and TD!!! Offense is playing some ball.

Especially since Spann- Ford can be better...... Schoon is only on the roster because of his draft pick status.
-
Dallas Cowboys 2025 season thread: 8-9 and divine. The world according to Jerry
Fuck yea.... If anyone is going to become a playmaker, who's already on the roster besides Pickens and Turpin, it's going to be Flournoy..... Keep giving him reps and snaps. He's way better than Tolbert.

Nice catch but better throw with the blitz coming down.....
