i feel for you bud because you seem like a good level headed fan. the only thing i disagree on a bit is putting a bunch of this on Dak. OL gave up 6 sacks, and really didn't hold up that great. Relying on a rookie TE and a bunch of WR2s and WR3s really sets Dak up to fail. that was one thing Doug Pederson learned when he saw McNabb's early years when he threw to Todd Pinkston and James Thrash. Cowboys should know you need to help a young QB
For anyone who has seen the All 22 - it's evident Dak had a terrible game. I agree the O-line is not at the same level. Dak had happy feet, ran into a couple sacks and is not seeing the field well. Missed open receivers and is just seeing the windows he needs to see. I have no agenda against Dak, he just didn't play well at all. I am losing hope on his Upside.
I've debated if it would be better to switch Williams & Collins. Long-term, they likely have it right with Williams at LG & Collins at RT, but short-term, it might benefit us to switch them. Williams isn't a top LT prospect, but RT isn't as critical as far as pass-blocking.
I like the defense.....I hate the offense.
Agree on everything but Beasley.Linehan is a joke
We seem to be the only team in the league that never runs a rub....EVER. WHY?
What was point of trading for Tavon if he's not going to touch the ball ??
Gotta throw it deep, idc if you complete it or not, put it up.
A few screens for Zeke? How hard is it?
How about hitting a wr on the move instead of waiting for them to be open, hit them and they get tackled?
Some designed runs for Dak?
Beasley should have 8-10 catches a game, catching the ball on the move.
Most overrated oline in the game Imo. Roll Dak out, give him some space
Dak needs to get out of his own head or he's done. He's never gonna be Joe Montana, but he's better than he's been lately, bouncing the ball at guys feet...stop thinking, play football
fair enough. I thought the WRs were getting bullied around a bit, but Dak did miss a few easy ones.
Fair enough, but it didn't help much.Cowboysfan8 said:
From what I watched, the center of the Dallas O-Line kept getting pushed back into Dak's face. It seemed like it was happening on almost every passing play. No QB will have much success when that happens, they have no where to move. Dallas needs their center back in a big way.Cowboysfan8 said:Linehan is a joke

I agree
it's funny i mentioned the above the other day. You guys have a really one-sided one this week, with Lawrence against Flowers. That could be ugly, and i am not sure what the NYG will try to do to contain him from running open in the backfield regularly. Could be a big difference on who wins between you guys and the Giants
Potential kryptonite to the Eagles last year was the way the Giants played the Eagles, in particular the 1st game. I am amazed that teams with weak OLs that are getting eaten up don't follow that same game plan. The Giants OL was at an all time low, and they got the game to the point the Eagles needed a 61 yard kicker from their rookie kicker to win the game.
I don't think it makes sense. Dallas isn't in the market for a receiver, especially one that brings even more suspension uncertainty . They came into the season with a full set of outs that include familiar names, a rookie, and veteran FA. If they make any moves, I hope, it will be for a DB or Center/Guard.Football Jones said:
Good post. The Giants oline is not good and the Cowboys dline played very well. The difference in the game.
The trolling has gotten bad over the years. I used to be a much more frequent poster from both a Fantasy perspective and Cowboys news etc. It's gotten old - really fast.I couldn’t post in the game thread because these trolls got me banned for a week.
This post right here Was by far my favorite post in the entire game day thread.
Thank you so very much for this.
You are always respectful, Bankerguy. You are also pretty objective when it comes to your team and other teams. I appreciate your posts.
As are you, but not everyone is. I do find Cowboy fans take a bit of a beating on these boards. JMHO.
True. The Eagles winning the Super Bowl has exacerbated our fan's brashness, which is a little hard to believe. Please let me know if I step out of line in my comments.
As a Zeke owner, who selected him #1 overall in my redraft, I am officially worried. The passing game is doing nothing to take pressure off the running game.
Zeke is one of the few fantasy RBs this year that is performing. If you look at DJ, Bell, Freeman, Mixon, Fournette, etc, their performances and injuries are all looking rough. Zeke is actually one you shouldn't be too worried about compared to the others up there. Not sure how you could have taken him over Gurley though.
You guys aren’t nearly as “loaded” as you think you are. You also have no idea how your quarterback will play when he returns from his busted knee. He will likely not run as much so it will be interesting to see how well he plays and defenses play him now that the threat of him running will have been removed.Deamon said:
Don't get me wrong, I love Zeke. He is producing despite being the entirety of the Dallas offense. What worries me is how the offense as a whole will develop as the season progresses. I am hoping that they will morph into the 2016 version of the Cowboys where Dak efficiently exploits all the mismatches in the passing game created by Zeke's presence allowing the offense as a whole to be in scoring position more often. I am less confident in that possibility after the first two games. Zeke will have a good year, no doubt but I now worry that his supporting cast will prevent him from having another magestical season like 2016.Deamon said:
I don't think we're loaded at all. Our offense is a mess right now with injuries. Our 2nd WR is Aiken for christ sakes.... not good.
He's a great coach and it seems that Gurley will keep truckin. My only issue with the post was that you're worried about Zeke. I don't think the Cowboys offense will sniff what they were in 2016, but I don't think you need them to. Even if he gets heavy usage but less TDs, he still seems like he'll finish a top 10 back. Out of a first overall pick, you can't really expect or hope to land the RB1 of the year, you have to be happy with Top 5 numbers. Especially this year when there were (so far) so many top rbs that have hit. I'd be regretful I didn't take Gurley for sure, but if fantasy drafts re-drafted today, Zeke would still likely go top 3.
In short, I cautioned against being a year away & we also have the HCing disadvantage which is obviously a huge factor.
I wouldn’t say I was backing him I’ve just been happy with the process and I was worried if we fire him we would blow the whole thing up. So it wasn’t so much as supporting Garrett as much as it was supporting the front office/direction of this team.
looks to me like the passing game is 8th grade stuff. Dak fades back, scans the field, hits a WR with a defensive guy all over him. This WR group has got to be on of the worst. Also regarding the passing game, no timing at all like say a NE.
