  1. Fingers crossed on the Texans. Their offense woke up yesterday. Watching the Cowboys will be brutal from here on out, but I probably will.
  2. TOP for the entire game was about equal. In the second half we did very little with our TOP. In the second half, what good did our TOP advantage do us? 9 fucking points good. Whose fault was that? The Defense's? If the D is so bad, how did we hold the Vikings to 12:31 TOP in the second half? It didn't help that we gave them the ball at midfield twice. Didn't that result in ten points or so. Yes the D sucked, but the offense also gets a lot of the blame. Bo Nix has a 4 year $19mil contract. The point is that having a $50mil QB two "star" caliber receivers and a couple of very serviceable RBs won't get the job done if you pay for coaches who don't know how to overcome weaknesses and who make stupid effing decisions during a game... and a QB who, regardless of what Collingsworth said, doesn't take control. 9 points a half ain't getting it done. The Vikes blitzed the hell out of the Cowboys. That just might make a couple of linemen look extra bad if your coach and QB don't know how to overcome it. If it couldn't be done, everybody in the league would be blitzing that much. The player at the heart of the offensive woes is Dak Prescott.
  3. They were 7-10 in 2024. The only teams they beat were shitty teams (Wash, Giants, etc). Guess that was the final nail in Fat Mike's coffin.
  4. Stephen A said something like -- in 7 losses, Dak had 6 TD Passes and 7 Interceptions and ??? (a bunch) of sacks. Last night, they scored 9 points in the second half. Three FGs. Yeah. Dak and the offense deserve their share of the fucking blame. The D was on the field too long. The offense fucking sucks right along with the D. Decent in the middle of the field, but inevitably fucks up. Bo Nix in his second year in the NFL has led his team to 11 straight wins. That brings us to Coaching. Jerry has always gone cheap on hiring coaches. Probably the biggest problem this team has. I swear I heard an interview with Pete Carroll circa 2010 where he said that when he decided to leave USC, he met with Jerry and was ready to sign on the dotted line. Gung Ho. until Jerry made him an offer that would have made him the second lowest-paid coach in the NFL. America's team, worth more than any other franchise - second lowest paid coach in the league? Carroll bailed. He goes to Seahawks in 2010. In 2010, Jerry hires smilin' Jason Garrett (for the next 10 effing years). Since Garrett was unproven, I gotta believe he came cheap. Cheap, Cheap. Mike McCarthy - Wasn't he unemployed when Jerry came calling? Can you say "cheap". Schottenheimer - How in Demand was he to be a Head Coach??? Eberflus??? Remember when Jimmy Johnson joined Jerry and together they were going to conquer the football world? Can't help but wonder if Jerry pulled the rug out from under Jimmy Johnson after 2 Superbowls by informing him that, of all those riches coming America's Team's way, Jimmy wasn't going to get any more than a perfunctory raise. Jimmy probably had an ironclad clause in his contract forbidding him from ever disclosing any contract details - and you know Jones would have enforced it. All Jimmy could do was walk. We never got a reason. No facts supporting any of that... just wondering out loud.
  5. We had two good games - Eagles Chiefs, and that woke up opposing coaches. The team played hard. The D hit hard tonight and last week, but there's only so much they can do when the coaching can't keep up with the competition. We were out-coached, especially on D, and we were out-quarterbacked. Time to admit that Dak is a mediocre QB at best who gets his stats in garbage time. He has his moments, but it looks to me like he's a sub-par field general. I guess he's not capable of recognizing defensive weaknesses and calling the right audible at the right time, and he makes some bad decisions once the play starts. His pocket awareness is sub par. His scrambling ability is mediocre at best. What QB can't scramble for ten yards once in a while? He's a little on the slow side (running that is). And maybe he's just a little slow in the head? Not stupid, mind you, but not near the top of the class when it comes to NFL QBs. That's a possibility. Hate to say it, but how many times have we seen him settling for three-yard passes... or a 7 yarder on 4th and 8 with the season on the line. He's not fluid in the pocket.
  6. Well, our Defensive Coordinator is history, guaranteed. Jones won't fire Clottenschotter before he's declared mentally incompetent or dies (I give him a couple of more years. God forbid we should have to watch this shit show for another five years...) The Golden Child isn't going to rise for this team... and Dak will QB it until he drops. We're officially "The Walking Dead IV - Cowboy Deathmarch" coming to Netflix next season. The show will need a hot babe to play the team's steam room massage therapist. At least one player will have to die while puking his guts out the morning before a game. The hero will be a haggard family man who inherited season tickets, but can't convince his kids and wife to quit attending the games. The plot needs some work
  7. What kind of formation was that on fourth and one?
  8. Those were the days. When was the last time anybody used the quick kick?
  9. Shocked! I'm shocked I tell you. We're not gonna win out. Shit coaching, mediocre quarterbacking, bordering on shit quarterbacking, and shit ownership. I just can't believe it. So disappointed...
  10. To Dak's credit, he plays better when we're behind... especially when we're behind by a lot... i.e., garbage stats. But remember... Dak's in control!
  11. You're down by 1. Punt the fucking ball. 60 yarders aren't easy in cold weather. Gotta put extra leg into it. Punt it, put them inside their own 15. Stupid fucking decision
  12. anything that isn't in the end zone is a wasted pass. Gotta kick a FG. Don't even risk a short thrhow
