Mike Nolan sucks but the Cowboys should easily win this division.

Yeah, Nolan is an improvement over Rod but that’s not an accomplishment.

There’s a reason he hasn’t risen above LB coach since his last HC/DC gig.

Elite QBs don’t throw that pick on 3rd down.

Dallas is turning over its OL and has a QB who hasn’t proven to be as clutch as they need.

And that roughing the passer call on Hill was sawft AF.

I think Cowboy fans need a break. That last INT was basically a Hail Mary attempt. The defense is terrible.

Should not have taken 3 games to kick Looney to guard and put the kid from Wisconsin in at center. Connor Williams is a bust and never should have started a game this year.

The OL should be okay with Smith and Collins back if they leave Looney at guard.

Dallas got a few breaks today that kept them in it.
Throw that Hail Mary on 4th down, not 3rd.

Oooooh the division. Big whup. This team isn't winning a play off game.

Sorry but 20+ years of Jerrah ball has me bitter.

We need Smith and Collins back badly. I do think the Wisconsin kid can play.

I love Tyron Smith but he’s done as a reliable LT. And hopefully Collins will be solid when he gets back.

Williams is a bust because of how high he was picked. They need more help on the line in the next few years especially if Zach Martin gets banged up.

 

[Alsacs]

Dak won’t give the Cowboys a team friendly deal because Wentz and Goff got overpaid.
He is in there draft class is on par with them.
Dallas should have given Dak the 4 year deal he wanted in exchange for him taking a little less money.

Dallas would give him the Wentz deal but Dak by that point wanted a 4 year deal like Deshaun Watson got.

We need one more year out of Smith and then draft his replacement.

The NFL is ruining its game with too many rules. Too many of these games are decided by rule of the law penalties where the infraction doesn't provide an advantage. The PI rules should be torn up and rebuilt from scratch. The game is unwatchable.

Was thinking the same thing yesterday. A lineman came 4 yards off the line to block a linebacker. They whistled him for illegal man downfield, despite the fact the pass went to the opposite side of the field and the linebacker wasn’t ever going to be close enough to make a play.

during the early pandemic, i was watching a bunch of old school classic footballs games...the games were so much better from an entertainment perspective without replay...you know that correctly or incorrectly, whatever was ruled was going to stick and the game had much more flow.

now everytime you watch a play, you hesitate to see if there is some stupid possible challenge or booth review coming. and this rule that all turnovers and scores are autoreviewed grinds the game to a further halt.

when my own personal favorite teams are involved, i guess i can stomach replay to get it right, even though its a time suck..but when im just watching games for entertainment, replay can go to hell

He absolutely is the problem if he gets paid elite money to be better than average.

Dak's still a top 10 QB. His next contract might be a slight overpay but he's mostly worth it. The issue is that they paid Zeke $90 million when they could have used that money to build a better roster.

Agreed on Zeke. They also overpaid Jaylon and Tank.

In regards to Dak how can they justify paying 40 million a year to a guy who cannot score against a depleted Seattle defense with 2 minutes to go and 3 time outs. Any elite QB ties that game up. He is not a bum by any means but he cannot be paid elite money for being a better than average QB. Sadly I know he will. Jerrah always over pays.

Chit happens. He was running for his life and made a bad decision after what should have just been a massive sack instead of a game-sealing INT. He's thrown for over 450 yards each of the past two games. #1 offense in the league in terms of yards and #7 in terms of points. Unfortunately he doesn't play defense.

 

[rrlbees]

The cowboys are garbage.

 

[samspann1]

Same guy went helmet to helmet on Wilson.

I enjoy the folks who complain about their QB who is lighting up every defense put in front of him. I hope you let him go and luck into a cheaper alternative like Mitch Trubisky or some other Quincy Carter type. The defense is 30th in scoring against, that is the issue. Dak will get paid high end money because that's what happens when any quality starting QB gets re-upped. It's not a new concept. When Matt Ryan got extended he went to the top, when Stafford got extended, he went to the top. Cousins hit FA, he went to the top.

Ryan, Stafford and Cousins are all good comparisons. All were overpaid. None of them elite.

I get that Dak will get overpaid. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

I would rather pay Nick Foles 15 million per year than Dak 35+ million per year. I would rather sign Teddy Bridgewater to a 3 year 75 million deal he signed than give Dak the 4 year deal he wants.

I pay guys like Watson, Wilson without question.
I think Dak is in the 11-17 range.

Dallas could have signed Cam for 1 million this offseason and let Dak go.

Dak wouldn’t sign a 5 year deal.
He wanted a 4 year deal so he could get paid twice top of the market.
Watson is going to get paid twice top of the market because he got a 4 year deal.
Just because players like Goff and Wentz got overpaid doesn’t mean I would do it for Dak.

Dak played hardball. Jerry waited too long to give him the Wentz deal but once it was offered Dak should have taken it.
Dak isn’t good enough to get that 4 year 150 million deal like Watson.

If he did the 5 year 160 deal then he has his money.

 

[Alsacs]

Holy chit I just looked at the lines next week
The Giants are -13 at the Rams.

Crazy in week 4 we see a line that big.

Your opinion is irrelevant in this discussion. Your team hasn't had a bad QB since before Drew Bledsoe was drafted in 1993. You have no clue what it's like to know there is a cap of 9 wins because you don't have an above average QB.

They needed a miracle either way dak getting away from the sack was a miracle I had no problem with the throw. They were doomed at 30-28 having to settle for 3.
