I think the Cowboys have more questions associated with them, than almost any team in the league.
Can Roy Williams be a #1 receiver?
Can Romo stop turning the ball over?
Can our ultra thin safety group stay healthy/effective?
Will any of our draft picks actually make any kind of impact?
Takes we now know were bad:
Dak is bad and not worth the money
Lamb isn't a #1
Deuce is anything at all in the NFL
I like our chances here this week. Game probably hinges on the run D sorting itself out. if the run D is competent I don't see how the Packers game this a game. If they can run on us all game it'll be down to the last drive.

Dak still isn't worth the money and he will show it like last year in the playoffs. See ya in few weeks when the inevitable happens and he loses to Brock Purdy for the 3rd time lols
If Dak actually wins two playoff games here and then loses to the 49ers (maybe not so much if SF gets picked off and we lose to say, Bucs/Rams or smth) I'm pretty much at peace with that. If we flame out in this first game and his performance shoulders a big chunk of the blame, then I'm ready to anoint him as the current day Andy Dalton and will just concede any chance we can win with him, regular season be damned.

To me, it's wins how?
If some team beats them 37-34, I'm not going to cry about Dak's salary. Superbowl winning teams don't give up 37 pts. If the O doesn't score more than 25-28 (particularly at home), yeah ok we will probably be looking over at Dak.
Not looking good so far ... Dak missed a wide open Lamb vs a linebacker
Not even reading the field ... black Tony Romo
How do you not throw the ball away there when ur outside the pocket and in FG range ... he's soooooo ****ing bad lols
Who's wrong about Dak Rafiki ? Lols
I know football, you do not ...

So there ya go. Obviously defense looked fraudulent as hell too, but Dak came up small, now somehow has a worse playoff record than Romo.
We can get out from under his contract after next year, right? Any chance in hell Jerry just lets him play it out and then says see ya good luck? Feels like a lock he's gonna rip it up, back up the truck and overpay him for another 3 years or something. I swear I'm gonna jump off a bridge at that point.

Ya sadly that's the most likely (extension) ...
He should be traded bc this is a deep qb class and you just have to eat it, he will never win eating up this much of the cap. He has to be carried, he doesn't carry
They need to find the kind of coach that players want to run through walls for. A Dan Campbell, Mike Vrabel, DeMeco Ryans guy who's not just a former player - but an intense, passionate former player. This team needs someone who has walked the walk and can show them how to do the same. Because right now they have a psychological issue and they need someone to change the mentality of the team. And Fat Mike ain't that guy.
Cowboys need an HC that exudes fearlessness to the point where it's contagious. I think that's the only way they get over the hump with this current group.
Sadly, it'll probably wind up being Belichick, because nobody wants to deal with Jerry. BB doesn't either, of course, but he'll recognize that Dallas is the best landing spot where he can pass Shula before hitting assisted living age, lol.
Or, JJ might just have a press conference today announcing a vote of confidence and a 5-year extension for Fat Mike. Kill me now.
Beli and Trey Lance for the ship. Trade Dak for parts.

I will take Bill over fat Mike 100 out of 100 times. Bill still provides a scheme advantage on defense, that was clear even with the Patriots missing their 2 best defensive players for most of the season. Moving on from Dak is more important than who the coach is
Oh for sure. It probably goes something like:
Younger BB>>>>Harbaugh/Vrabel>>>Old BB>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fat Mike
Ok which of the OL prospects yall like best. We have to go OL right ? LT and C both wide open spots atm ...
I personally like the Oregon kid Powers-Johnson the most, I think we need the added physicality he provides inside. Would be fine with Barton too, which seems the most obvious / mocked pick atm.
Like the trade back but hate the Guyton pick. Kid is grabby as hell in college, he will probably lead the league in holding calls ...
Eagles find a way to get the #1 and #2 corner in the class lols ... jesus every ****ing year
An edge lols ... this draft is ****ing bad again
I like the Beebe pick, the trade down was very good for acquiring this
That linebacker pick is meh, he missed a lot of tackles in college and doesn't cover very well ...
Here we gooooo. This is our year right? RIGHT?
Awful tackling already ...
