Cows vs. Jags ...... do the Cows right the ship?

Can they get it done today?

No, the Jags defense will dominate the Cowboys offense.

They S the bed yet again.

They will if Garrett doesn't start this krap.

Everything points to a cowboys loss, but I'm still hoping for a win. Hopefully Tank and Irving turn Bortles into bad Blake Bortles and the offense can finally open up the field. Go cowboys.

No.

Cowboys play their best today.. win 31-17.

Hope not. I have TJ Yeldon in DK and could use a few insurance points

Doubtful.

Did you just get back from Canada?

I don’t know about righting the ship but the Pokes post a win over the Jags today, 28-16

Pokes score 4 TDs in the 1st quarter and don’t make a first down the rest of the game

Jags 27
Pokes 13

I've continued to be positive, but my waning patience has reached its end. Cowboys get steam rolled today. Who cares about the score. They lose with dignity........and red clapper is status quo with job security. I'm going sour grapes, my OT brethren......

Cowboys at home, 24-20. Bortles throws 3 int's.

Cowboys offense is about to be embarrassed.

Bortles has been stinking as of late......

Zeke shook off several would-be tacklers.

Pretty good throw by Dak. If only he was consistent.

Blitz will throw Dak off consistently.


Mahr's a pretty good kicker.

Somehow I haven’t heard one person give Jerry the GM any credit for dropping Bailey and keeping Mahr.

Cowboys have committed to breaking in
their new field goal kicker.

Well, the kicker is locked in anyway

Nice catch by the rookie WR... great talent and character... going to be a good one

I’ve said it was a good move in previous posts and there were others who thought the same.

David Irving... literally some consistent counseling/behavior modifications from being a multi millionaire for life.... crazy to think about if he had 54's mind/work ethic

Daks needs to wipe the butter off his hands quickly!

Romo will see stuff all day like that wide open Zeke play

That was a beautiful catch, but might not stand.

Didn't see his foot down....but the kid can play and I know he's about to take off

If he'll play like that he can certainly help his team. I really like Dak... I just hope he becomes everything he deserves to be

DAK

Dak is pretty danged fast !

So far the play calling has been pretty good. Playing to Daks strengths and accuracy has been better. WR’s have made some plays as well. Let’s see if we can sustain or do like always and get away from what’s working and start playing not to lose.

The cowboys are committed to running
the QB to practice running and not fumbling the ball.

This defense looking pretty porous right now.

Sack

Dak, at least, is stepping up in the pocket and buying more time. Just a couple of throws on his heels. Looking like a NFL QB. They're finally throwing the ball downfield instead of sideways every play. I can smell it right now.......SOOOOOOOOOOOOOPAH!

Alan freaking Hearn on a LB and we miss?

Bigger question is how Hearn wasn’t wide freaking open in that situation!!

Dak is seeing the field

Time for a play action deep pass

Too much sauce!! Looks pretty damn good today guys

Who in the heck is calling these plays?

I agree but the ball placement was crazy bad.... maybe Hearn just quit on the route

Romo was saying they copied KC offense
plays
If it worked for KC against the Jags,
use it again.

Fixed it Rick. Just tryin' to help.

I was about to say. I called that way wrong.

He was open!!

.500 might win the Division. You never know. Looks possible right now.

That was perfectly thrown ball there. Man missed some chances that possession.

Nice touch on that ball...stupid [censored] TE short armed it

Cowboys have the rabbits foot so far,..!!!

Pokes doing all the right things

Beasley having a hell of a day.

Dak has put the ball on'em today...fewer misses

Has the clapper been bluffing all this time?

Zeke smoked that guy.... so much talent

And too much sauce again... great job

Romo seems to show a little animosity today.

TD Beasley!!

If he showed favoritism he'd get criticism too...no win for him... like he gives AF what anyone thinks

Where has this been all season? Boys looking good!

true.

Pissed off Dak can play....pissed of coaches coach.... now, can they step on Jacksonville's neck and kill them? We'll see. Number 1 defense my [censored]

Jekkel & Hyde of the NFL.......

This is what frustrates fans and makes them scream about coaching. If the team is this talented, what has held them to a 2-3 record?

Jacksonville looks flat and lost.

Poor QB play mostly

How but that block by Zeke, ohhh.

Still a lot of football left to be played. Will reserve turnaround judgement until after 2nd half ends.

Lol there’s TX! If Dak got the blocking he’s getting today and the play calling they are putting out so far I’m guessing daks production would be way better. It’s not the difference in 1 player the entire offense is playing at a higher level so far today.

Probably put the guy out with rib injury

"mostly"

Beez needs to not fall down there.. wasn't much of a tackle

I sure would like to see a cowboys DB play the ball in the air

Winds blowing 17 out of the North.
You know what that does to the game.

Looks like the clapper made some adjustments during the half. He decided to do away with the offense so far. And maybe the defense.

No safety play on defense....bad, bad, bad

Hurn sucks.... outright sucks. Didn't even try to fight for the ball

Mahr making me forget all about Bailey. Got a cannon for a leg.

The boys done good with their new kicker. Bailey who???

The goat... LOL

A score here should do it...

Finally ... good int

Hurns seems oblivious sometimes

I hope they cut him and preserve the comp pick for next year

On that fade to the endzone he seemed uninterested.

Stepping on their neck

Nice call sir

OK,...where is the real Cowboys..??

Jax gonna beat up on my Texans next week

Glad I was wrong on this one. The boys are looking like a complete package today.

Why is Zeke in the game?

I’m just waiting for it.....

No reason to subject Zeke to this... ignorant

Congrats, Cowboys fans. Definitive performance today. Impressive.

Would have been good from 60+

SUPERBOWL!!!!

Dominating win

Great play on both sides of the ball

Shades of 2016

The Red Clapper is safe for another week.

Goin back to the supper bowl!

The game prime example of why I do not and will not bet sports.

This game is a prime example of why the cowboys will be 8-8 forever. Big win saves a sorry [censored] head coach. Another loss, and the boys cut theirs by scrapping the coaching staff and start over.

I sure am glad I was wrong. I’ll post something similar next week.

Ok Frank, time to get one started for the Redskins. I'll start.

Cowboys win 32 - 10.

cowboyswinugly

Nice win but short of a successful playoff run I think Garrett is done after this year.

Frank, you've been noticeably absent on this thread.

That was a good game

Solid point Mark. They are young. Who will JJ replace his head coach with next year? Thankfully not Chucky.

Stoops

Couldn’t watch it. Home repairs.

Looks like the Cows looked good.

Interesting. Barrah approved. I was a great fan of Barry. This finicky town crucified him.

Unless they collapse recent comments by JJ indicate that clappy ain't going no where

Nope. No chance.

Stoops took ou to championship soon after start.
Cowboys need coach that gets wide receivers open.
Gotta have better rpo.

A game that was fun watching.

Was Jalen Ramsey his usual mouthy self?

It was..... They young and getting better. That was a good team they went up against. And no.... I am not SB or bust kids

He started limping around after they were down 30 Mark.... Church was their best DB. And he appeared to eventually say Uncle. I fully expected Church to bring it. And he did. Hard pipe hitter.

You mean the guy who inherted a two time championship team? Then acted like he built that team.

Stoops would bring plenty of regular season wins, and plenty of big game loses.

Jokes aside about Stoops. I think he would probably make a good NFL head coach. He had plenty of success in college football. That doesn't always mean success in the NFL. But never know until we see what he can do.

It’s what he does ^^^^^^

Oh.... aaaaasand ....... super bowl

Frank was outside inflating his giant Dallas Cowboy football helmet yard art.

Well according to below OU had won a Championship since the 80's under Switizer.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Oklahoma_Sooners_football_seasons

Good for you little fella. You were able to use Wikipedia.
Does Wikipedia tell you how to recognize humor? Maybe you should look that up.
Man you bring political nut jobs take everything so seriously. Lighten up Nancy. It's just sports. Not the bunker.

Here ya go 921 Pheonix. Had you not been in a big hurry to get your panties ruffled. You may have seen the comment I made right after.

Did Halloween come early ? Who were those good football players dressed up in Cowboys uniforms ? It was nice to have a game like that for a change, been awhile.

It's part of the process to 8-8

If only the cowboys could play every game at home.

Dak had 2 fumbles literally JUMP back in hands, had those not happened, whole nother ball game... Blind squirrel effect every now n then. I find it comical, how this could save Red J...

I still say barring a crazy playoff run that Garrett is gone. Jerry is starting to feel it financially when Cowboys stop getting primetime slots etc.

#1 in value....#1 in revenue

By a LOT

How about that highly rated cowboys defense though huh??

What is a crazy playoff run. I would say 60/40 barely miss the playoffs and he's back, 80/20 make the playoffs and would bet my first born he's safe with a playoff win.

Not that I agree with it but I am going to have to go along with what Jimmy Johnson said, Garrett is not going anywhere, the Jones family likes him a lot, they have a defense, a running game, they will go get them a receiver and should be a very good team, something along those lines.

At this point a playoff win is a crazy playoff run.

We'll see how they do when they play a team with a good offense.

Rowdy says we gonna right that ship!

Fake News. He slapped JJ on the back in his first news conference when he said "I am just going to try and not screw it up.... and you damn sure hope so". JJ laughed. Maybe your Browns will win a SB some day.

The problem with Barruh was his long-standing unstable relationship with Troy
Barruh and his DL coach (John Blake) said some innacurate comments about Aikman to the media (notably Skip Bayless who ran with the comments and printed them in a book)

Troy was the leader and had the support of the other key leaders on the team, particularly Irvin (exemplified by the day Troy stood with Irvin in court)

Jimmy Johnson hardly ever left Cowboys headquarters; tirelessly planning/scheming their next opponent

I’ll be kind and say that Barruh didn’t have Jimmy’s work ethic or discipline; further weakening his role as an authoritative figure to the players

Jimmy quit. Burned out and got in a power struggle with the man writing the paychecks. Watch his football life. Switzer is in rare company in football. Love his personality as well as Jimmy. Troy has said the game he is most proud of is the NFC Championship against the 49r's they lost after a horrible start. But yep... lots of history with Jerruh, Jimmy, Berruh going back to their National Championship at Arkansas. Then Jerruh snatched Primetime. SB.

Brother..... you got it bad.

Maybe I worded that wrong, I am agreeing with Jimmy that Garrett is not going to be fired anytime soon, and Jimmy is the one who said they have all that other stuff, google it.

So this team is a receiver away from being a very good team?!?!! This team that lost TO THE TEXANS 8 days ago?!?! Come on HK. Come on bud.

This team has better talent that their record exhibits. If (giant IF), they had that franchise QB they'd have a chance to be rilly, rilly good with new innovative coaching. That's the missing components.

Let me add they need the #1 receiver but that can be developed thru the draft or with free agency.

And maybe a QB, but again, I did not say this, the great Jimmy Johnson did, don't shoot the messenger.

I do know they have a bad arse D and a great O line with a top running back, cant speak for the QB or head coach.

Soon as you reveal your team. HS, College, Pro? We can have a rational conversation.

there’s my guy. I’m a big fan of anyone who beats Highland Park.

I hate Aaron Rogers.... that is all

I think we all know who you don't like. Lame.

And I LOVE Tom Petty!!

Hey Mooron, you do realize Rick is a Poke fan you know. For being here as long as you claim you really screw this up at times.

Bee'z , F4B is just trying to troll me. He thinks some Ohio comments will get under my skin.
What he fails to realize. I do very little in my life for myself. My being in Ohio, originally and now, is not because I want to be here. I'm where I am now because the high ratings Cincinnati Children's has for the care Rue needs. Which is the reason why I stayed. If I die here. I died knowing I did what I had to do for a little girl that had no one else to do it for her.
I believe God put me in her life for a reason. Because of that I will continue to do what I do, and stay where I am if need be.
And for that reason F4B's trolls on me are nothing more than a waste of his time.

God bless you and that little girl sir.

Absolutely. ^^^^^^ one of the good uns ^^^^ good on ya bud ^^^^

The problem with the Cowgirls for some time now is that one has no idea what ship is going to show up. One week it will be a destroyer, and seven days later a kayak splashes the water. Some call this bad preparation, or God forbid, bad coaching.

We should know something soon, Sunday at the latest.

The better ship (just can’t use the word “destroyer” to describe a team that lost to the Texans) might show up again. It can happen 2 weeks in a row. But that kayak WILL be back. It’s what JG do. Clap clap clap clap

Since there is a win one lose one pattern. Win at home lose on the road pattern. I'm betting it will be Mr. Hyde on a kayak this week.

So happy he does not have a Star on his helmet, and he wins with a lot less then the Cow-girls have.

Well I'm guessing Cowboys have righted the ship for the time being. Seems that coach has finally realized that to win now, Dak has to be more of a running threat. It should work until Dak gets hurt.

They will probably forget to put the plug in next Sunday.

I think they knew that but did not want to put him in harms way, they have no choice until he learns to read defenses and throws the ball better, well maybe a big time receiver or tight end would help a bunch.

the red robot will wipe his memory of what they did this week and he will reboot to original settings. He wont run the ball when he should, wont let Dak run and wont call any long passes. Lots of corner fades.

Hey Perry.

That defense is gonna get torched by a good offense. Just watch.



BTW Jerry's comments today about a Garrett contract extension story were interesting. He basically called the reporter that wrote the story a liar. His comments at the owners meeting today were not exactly supportive of Garrett at all and he called out the reporter publicly.

The great thing about sports is that its not objective. Blind loyalty, great talent,should have been,or we will be better next year.The bottom line is they keep score. And you are what your record says you are.

They may get torched but I think they are in the top 7 of all defensive categories, I am a firm believer in the defense, little weak at safety and that is it.

Nope. It’s an amazing defense with just a few pieces short of greatness offense. It’s almost super bowl.

Ya'll quit being so negative, dayumm. Ought to be glad you're not a Giants fan. Think what those poor people are going through.

Some will say Frank. But im a bottom line guy. AND ITS 8 -8.

I saw the comments and I agree he sounded like he was sending a message....as for the defense, Washington ain't gonna torch them.... we'll see about the rest

I still think Garrett is gone. Last time I saw that look and heard that tone from Jerry towards a Cowboys HC was when Wade was here and he was not here long after that. I do think he waits till the end of the year to can him unless they really, really tank this season.

Jason isn't going anywhere. He is wrapped around all of the Jones' family's finger, just where they want him to be. He is a yes man, a pure prototypical "What can I do for you next" type of guy. He goes over to Charlottes sometimes for dinner without Jerruh even being there? She considers him as another son and all of the Jones' family loves him and his family. Jones are a tight knit family and they take care of their own. Business is business, sure, but family runs much deeper. Jerruh will need to either sell or die before they lead red clapper to the door. Hope not, though.....

I tend to agree with Mark on this one. Business is business and there is getting to be quite a bit of unrest and apathy in the Cowboy Nation. These bad vibes could translate into some devaluation of the Cowboy product and name and Booger will guard against that.

I honestly think Booger wants another SB before he goes to that Wildcatter Great Beyond and sees that Ginger doesn't have the ability to produce that.

It would not bother me a bit even though I like Garrett, sometimes you just need a change, I have to agree with what Jimmy Johnson and Terry Bradshaw said, aint gonna happen, and they both agreed that this team is not that far away from competing.

I agree.... depending on what they mean by competing. For a playoff spot - yes. For super bowl

What came first, the chicken or the egg ? Like Parcells said, you have to get into the tournament first, then you have a chance at the big prize, not sure if that is exactly how he phrased it, lol.

Before this thread dies I thought I'd drop this link here. Nothing other than other discussion board posting during the game but kinda fun reading.

https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2018/10/...ith-our-defense


Of course they only do these when the Cows play well.

Here’s my point about the Cows right now. They have to get a new coach, the right coach that can lead the team to a super bowl. It ain’t JG. They need an elite QB. Dak ain’t it. Great guy. I root for him as a player to be successful, but he ain’t it. And they basically need 2-3 new receivers or major upgrades to their receiving core. Maybe a safety. They need a lot of pieces. A lot. That doesn’t happen overnight. It may take years. Could they make the playoffs, yes. Absolutely. The NFC East is terrible. Will they win a super bowl. ?? Not anytime soon.

blahblahblahblahblahblah………...oh, hi Frank! You're right. I agree with most of that w/ exception of receivers core. There's not much difference in most WR's in the league. Yes, some run routes more accurate, and are a little faster, or are taller and can physically take the ball away from their defender and can block them out, etc, etc. They are all very good because they're professionals. Our receivers are fine. The elite QB can make or break an elite receiver. That's the biggest help we need is we need a Mahomes or Mayfield or a young Rogers. In today's league, QBs must be a triple threat to be successful. Dak cannot put the ball in tight spaces with a high enough percentage. What is really scary is if Dak goes down with injury. Then, where are we? Red clapper will figure out the process one way or another because he ain't going anywhere.


You smellin' it yet?


SOOOOOOOOOPA!!!

I am not a coach but I think if they can get an OC that realizes Dak is a poor man's version of Cam Newton then they will be a little better. Dak lacks some of the arm that Cam has but in a lot of ways their games are very similar.

Agree. He is like Tebow, but not as good as a runner.

I am encouraged by the Tight End play last week against a good defense.

With Dak's lack of accuracy past 20 yards, he needs a solid TE, a good slot receiver, a good running game, and O line.
When healthy, the Cowboys have a good O line, a good slot receiver, and one of the best running games.
Downfield/elite receivers would never be maximized with Dak's lack of accuracy past 20 yards.

With his skill set, the Cowboys could definitely reach the Super Bowl with good coaching.

Dak is a better QB than the following SuperBowl QBs:

Vince Ferragamo
Billy Kilmer
Trent Dilfer
Rex Grossman
David Woodley
