All in..... Lol.... yeah.....you, I, and several others saw this coming when that statement left his plastic surgery altered pie hole Mark.. 😉 . Whatever slack I cut Jerry prior to that statement (admittedly NOT much) has now evaporated into the ether. They CAN turn this mess around, maybe, but, IMOP the coaches have to turn loose the talent they have to let it all go on the field.... and Dak has to let the ball fly when it's appropriate. To do that he's got to trust those young kids to battle for it and catch the SOB.... and they did a very nice job yesterday. They are the ONLY reason they made it a close game. The stats prove it and my eyeballs saw it. Meanwhile, the "superstars" moped, b#tched, cut off routes, dropped passes and ran around chasing a running back Jerry was too cheap to sign (and yes, he and Stephen BOTH know they could have signed him) as it "didn't fit into the budget." Im.not a coach, GM or anything close. I do wonder if the circus like atmosphere around the team really isn't the root cause of it all. It rarely seems like it's about football with this team. There seems to be little accountability. The offseason especially in dealing with contracts seems like it was a giant shat show. It seemed like one huge distraction for an extended period.i think it's just all contributing to the way the team plays. Take for instance the running g game. It's anemic yet they keep trotting out Zeke and guys that have no ability to put fear in the opposing defense. Meanwhile Cook remains on the practice squad. If Cook is that bad that he doesn't get a chance to play then why keep him? What little I watched yesterday I saw Dak put tge ball on the wrong shoulder of a wide open Zeke. It was a short pass most NFL QBs can make with their eyes closed, I saw a defense unable to stop the run. I saw same defense miss tackle after tackle. I saw their new rookie O lineman not only get blown up butthe same lineman actually catapult the LB straight into Dak resulting in a sack. Yet no one seems worried, upset or bothered by any of it. Parsons is still crowd g about it being someone else's fault, CeeDee is screaming like a kid throwing a fit but completely ignoring his own huge mistake, #21 is out there jumping up and flexing/posing after he nakes a tackle after a 8yd gain like he just did something spectacular while they are down 28-6 and McCarthty looks like he is waiting on the buffet line at CiCi's to open up. This is the best take I have seen - I agree 100%. Who knows, maybe we'll look back at this as the season low point when we're 11-6 and headed into a first round matchup and maybe we won't lose. But right now it's hard to see any kind of light at the end of the tunnel of this circus.

They can kiss another 12-5 season adios with play like this. Who, other than maybe the Giants, fears this team? No one and I'd hazard to guess the Giants are more than excited to welcome this team to New Jersey this week.

Cowboys opened as 5 point fave over the Giants. I am on NYG.
A short turn around of a debacle the last two weeks have been? Even the Giants gotta be feeling pretty good about this game at home.

They were never on track. They beat a terrible Browns team that just lost to a previously winless NYG team. They weren't that good last year and lost tons in the offseason. All we've done is watch Jerry put ourselves in financial position to be unable to recover anytime soon. Should have started planning for a Dak replacement 3-4 years ago and you could have had Henry or Barkley this offseason, added OL help, kept the DL and secondary pieces you had, and you could have had hope for the future. As of now, we don't have a present or future. Drafting Mazi in the 1st round last year didn't help either. You have to get contributions from your first rounder.

Before the draft this year I suggested Dallas should explore trade options for Parsons. I also would not have given Dak a new contract, make him prove he is worth it. I would never have brought back washed up Zeke (besides Jerry who would ?). Last off-season was a great opportunity to begin a reset. But of course Jerruh knows everything. He said he couldn't afford Derrick Henry for 8 mil when in fact we all know he could.
On top of all that he only hires coaches he can control, guys out of football for a year or two like McCarthy and Zimmer. Dumpster fire. It wouldn't surprise me if the Giants beat Dallas this Thursday. A team that can't run the ball, can't stop the run and has middling to poor coaching isn't likely to go anywhere.
Dak is in his 9th season. No matter what side of the argument you are on about his abilities how much more do you need to see?

Yep Either you think Dak can win with the right pieces around him, or you're convinced he can't. Seeing more at this point is not a reasonable approach to the NFL QB position on a 9-year guy

How many tackles did Dak miss ? You realize Dak makes almost as much as the entire starting defense, right? When you pay a QB top money, he's gotta be able to overcome bad play in other positions where you're only paying for league minimum talent. Dak can't even overcome his own bad play when he faces good teams.

You do realize Dak Prescott is the only QB on a Super Bowl contending team who is playing without a run game and without a defense that can stop the run...
