Defense is still trash. Pickens checked out after the bullshit OPI earlier in the game.

I'll agree that he disappeared, but isn't it possible that Detroit took him out of the game by double teaming him? Dak couldn't or wouldn't pass to him. in any case, he needed to make a full effort, but was nowhere to be found

That bullshit OPI against Ferguson effectively ended the game. Thats a Defensive PI 50% of the time and a no-call 49% of the time


The lions declined the OPI so the result was the same as a no call. Cowboys decided to kick on 4th and 3. Not sure it mattered in the end with as trash as the defense was.

Maybe we shouldn't blame some of these players. Maybe they were simply out partying too hard last night. Maybe, just like Vegas, they were at it til 7 in the morning and just became too sleepy for a night game. Can't blame them. Life's complicated for people making $10mil or $20mil a year.

Wasn't Pickens the one with Lamb at that Vegas Hotel at 7AM? Just asking.

It's the league's fault for scheduling a late game. Guess the search goes on for a coach who can handle these types. A Jimmy Johnson type, say. And a owner who can sniff out problem players. 

Too early to blame Clottenschotter. He's learning on the fly, and defense doesn't seem to be his bag, although I've always wondered why an offensive genius doesn't seem to understand how a good defense works.

It’s over.

Losing to a good Detroit team at their place isn’t the cardinal sin, though. Let us not forget that Jerry “built” one of the worst defenses in league history coming into the season and that’s the reason we’re not going to be in the playoffs.

the team was never making the playoffs.  they’re not that good.  every fucking year they win some great games that make idiots puff out their chests.  it’s all smoke and mirrors; this is a bad organization in charge of a spineless team with a clown at quarterback.  it’s been this way.  don’t worry, I won’t gloat.  just know that I always have been and always will be right.

This team would have gotten shredded in the playoffs anyways. Any team they faced would have had a good offense.

They should have bottomed out after the Arizona debacle but nope, had to win 3 games before showing their true colors last night. I'm sure they'll win the rest of their games and still miss the playoffs. It's the Cowboys way.

Pickens shitty effort last night was why Pittsburgh let him go, that and he is a basket case.  The first INT if he just extends his hands to the ball the defender can't deflect it like he did.  I wouldn't lose any sleep if he went elsewhere in the offseason.   All the talent in the world, but a complete nutjob.

Yet he’s still way better than Cee Dee. 
 

Get rid of them both and Dak and tank to start over. Let Jerry ride off into the sunset on a 2 win season.

don’t forget that these garbage time wins (the dak special) will drop our 1st round draft pick about a dozen spots.  not that we need young talent or anything.

I mean the players are playing to win. They don't care about draft picks. I don't fault them for winning and they played damn good and won 2 games most gave them no shot to win. Always fun to beat the Eagles. 

Also not sure how many garbage wins Dak has throughout his career, I'm sure you are referring to wins that mean nothing to making the playoffs? Last year he was hurt early. 2021-2023 made the playoffs, none there. 2020 he was hurt early on. 2016 and 2018 made the playoffs, none there. That leaves 2017 and 2019. Both those years, Dallas melted down in the later part of the year and lost a lot of games. They didn't have a terrible record to start and won a bunch of pointless games that meant nothing. Quite the opposite actually.

It's a shame they couldn't' have beaten the shitass Cardinals or they would still be alive. That was a horrible loss. I'm OK not making the playoffs, because it was highly unlikely anyway. But they now look like a borderline playoff team quality wise. 

Cowboys are currently sitting at 13 and 27 with their first round picks. They need to keep refining their game and competing, but they also should be developing young players as much as possible.  Don't risk a worse injury with Ceedee if he's cleared. Start Flournoy next week and keep polishing him and even get Mingo more time, though his Cowboys future is almost certainly coming to an end. What a wasted pick that was. Activate Blue and have him return kicks to see if he can replace Turpin and his contract. The young defensive guys are already getting more time, so hopefully they can avoid injury and keep getting better.

It has been fun for the last few weeks. I keep thinking if they had just squeaked into the playoffs, maybe won a first round game, it would be a classic NFL Films kind of year for a comeback story. Shame they couldn't pull it off, but it's OK. 

It's gonna be tough to fill remaining needs going into next year. I doubt if they kick efferpus to the curb and get a higher end DC. So it will probably go back to being the usual first round playoff choke kick in the balls, or a major injury or two that shits all over the season.

I know the players try to win every week.  it’s just funny that they play with their hair on fire and win some big games that ultimately don’t matter while losing to arizona and other shit teams.  and then I also take any chance I can get to shit on dak because he’s a fake superstar and useless choking untalented sack of horseshit.
