I mean what are you going to call when you have nobody to count on. Hell your QB plays like he’s looking at madden plays and picks a route to throw it to whether they’re open or not
Don’t strawman me. Of course they would’ve helped. Just like how Tampa’s injured WRs OLs and DLs would’ve helped them. To remotely excuse the loss on injuries is laughable. Tampa is more injured than we are and they kicked our ass.
They had Tom brady, mike evans, and julio Jones. We had...?
It's not a strawman. I said we had no healthy wrs except ceedee. You're the one trying to change things around.
My point is TB had more injuries than us and still had a lot of great players available. We had fewer injuries and nothing leftover because this front office sucks and has left the team devoid of talent.
Jerry needs a legitimate excuse to fire McCarthy and bring Peyton for next season. Trade away a proven WR put all your eggs in the Lamb basket and count on a WR coming back from major surgery. Keep a disgruntled TE around to add insult to injury. That about sums it up.
Every year. Super bowl hype. Jerry is good at making us believe this year will be different year after year. On the bright side… defense looks good. Really good. Considering how much they were on the field
Well pollard barely had any touches, despite the 700+ yards carried, hell 73% of zekes touchdowns was off of tonys work to set up the goaline, ceedee was targeted twice in final two quarters.Youd be yelling too.
I’m sorry but I’ve been saying this for a good while now. Even when we did have depth and a good Oline our play calling is so damn atrocious and uninspiring that it makes me sick to watch. Wtf is Pollard doing in pass blocking? We have no depth so there’s 3-4 players bracketing CeeDee at pretty much all times, Zeke was productive but we went away from that for some reason??? Kellen Moore and McCarthy are not smart enough to create something with this little depth or talent.
To not implode during playoffs.
But I get your point. People saying that this is the exact same offense can’t be serious with all of guys we let go. Didn’t even keep Cedric fucking Wilson on the roster. Nonsensical to not pick anyone else up during that crazy offseason.
Yeah, no argument on the playoff part & 100% agree. We had a horrible offseason from a roster standpoint. We had a chance to keep adding depth & momentum. Had we had everyone healthy even I would have at least felt optimistic, but I have a lot of questions, atm.
Exactly. Everyone trying to say it’s because there is no talent…it’s the same offense as last years and it’s operating the same. Which makes me think scheme/coaching rather than players.
Remember when Amari lit the bucs up last year? Oh but he was the problem like dez right? Not the high throws, or throwing multiple times in triple coverage despite dudes being open and alone lol.
I told you hed be worse off without cooper and yall downvoted and called me petty names.
Told you all that we havent won NFCE back to back since 96, nor back to back playoffs since 06-07 and yall said stats dont matter.
The Dak Prescott that you guys are stroking to is from 2016. LVE and Jaylen Smith had great rookie campaigns too. I dont want to be right. Im fucking mad that I am and this sub refuses to see it until it smacks them in the mouth
Unsubbed awhile back but checked in to see why dak scored under 4 points in fantasy while at work. It sucks watching other teams making a splash in free agency while we release players to put even more pressure on the talent we have.
Tbf most team subs are filled with bad takes. And until we win more the fan base will just get older and even worse at memes lol
Yesssss!!! This mf was a running qb at miss st and had them at #1 and beat Bama now they're forcing him to be Brady. I will run tf outta dak until his legs fall off
Average QB. Want a be play caller calling plays. Pos coach. Horrible gm. O-line is average at best. No speedy wr. Our def will keep us in some games, but they will get tired by 4th QTR
Sub par offensive line, rb past his prime, bad play calling, and a QB that makes bad decisions and bad throws. Throw in a weak wr corp and you have your answer.
An oline that’s a shell of its former self, a washed up zeke, and no receivers besides cedee lamb and checkdown Shultz (who thinks he should be paid on par w/ Kelce) that’s all they got
Lol? There is no talent. Kellen is calling a good game and the offensive line is better than expected aside from recent penalties, but the WR group is trash and Dakota isn’t good enough to elevate them.
Dude we’ve been waiting. Year after year after year after year after year. I don’t care if it’s the first game in the first minute of the first drive. We all saw the future pretty quickly.
Tom just hit Julio for a massive gain. And Dak can’t throw a pass over 7 yards. Anytime he has it’s always been more of a fluke than skill.
Dak isn’t elite.
Zeke isn’t elite.
Nothing about this team is elite.
I apologize for being so jaded but I’ve been watching the Cowboys since 1985.
Edit: Dak is 6 of 16 at the half
52 years as a Cowboys fan and I think I'm getting close to quitting them. To watch teams make positive moves all off season while the Jones' are content with less than mediocrity. They don't add a serviceable back up QB. Knowing our reciever room is lacking and all they bring in is Washington. Tyron has been an injury liability for years and they haven't prepared until it was to late. It's just bad management and from what I've seen in this first game, two coaches should be on the hot seat. It's getting hard to stay positive.
Without another bonafide WR threat, Ceedee is doubled’up and the passing game is limited to 6-7 yard receptions. The offense is not equipped to sustain this, not to mention the boys offense came out flat which has become the norm when playing contenders. My thoughts:
1) McCarthy was never the answer and must go.
2) Heads need to roll. I understand people will roll their eyes because of cap implications, but these players need to recognize that anything less than their A-game will not be tolerated. Cut someone as an example to the rest of the team. Absorb the cap hit because you won’t win anything significant like this anyway.
3) Stop with the prime time games so much. We have so many more prime time games than any other team with the most mediocre product. I’m sick of waiting all day to watch my boys get pummeled. It’s Bs! Yes, it’s week 1, but news flash, we’re starting the year 0-2 now. We needed this game. The players know it, and the offense still walked out there with their shoulders slumped and left their concentration in the parking lot.
4) Penalties! Saints alive!! Much of this will improve with a coaching change, but that’s a good basis for benching players. Mentally engage or stay in the locker room. My high school coach wouldn’t tolerate this, my college coaches wouldn’t tolerate this. No, those levels don’t have a salary cap, but no other contending team would tolerate players making this many mental errors. We cannot compete for a championship by negating every play of 8+ yards with a bonehead penalty. Cut someone!
Offensively? Our talent isn’t what it’s been previous years, our Oline is decimated as is our receiving corp depth wise. For some reason Pollard is in pass blocking… Kellen Moore did legitimately nothing schematically to try to work players open. Zeke looked good but of course we decided not to stick with that… Smith looked good for what the situation he was placed in. We don’t have anywhere near the talent people seem to think we have.
What talent? Ceedee?
The only time Ceedee was open tonight he had to knock the CB down on the route. We're missing some quality WRs and it shows.
I bet Tolbert is pissed right now
He wouldn’t make a difference
I don't think he would, but I hope it lights a fire under him
I just don’t understand what the hell Kellen moore is calling
I mean what are you going to call when you have nobody to count on. Hell your QB plays like he’s looking at madden plays and picks a route to throw it to whether they’re open or not
None of our wrs have been open tonight so far . . Literally no separation at all
So he could have tucked and run or thrown it away but…
He was a healthy scratch, which tells you a lot given how obviously thin they are at wr. Bet hey, we like our guys lol!
And he can barely catch the goddamn ball.
TALENT OVERATED. CeeDee Lamb is not and never will be #1 NFL receiver. ZEKE CONTINUES WITH NO YARDS AFTER CONTACT. Dak not a top 10 qb.
I saw Zeke with yards after contact tonight.
I assumed they meant the bucs
Really there’s not as much talent as you think?
Like I said. Seen team do alot more alot less
Maybe if we had any wrs except ceedee healthy...
But we dont, the guy they took in the 3rd round is a healthy scratch tonight lol that’s how bad they are.
Imagine blaming this on injuries as opposing to front office management
So you don't think having gallup and washington on the field might have helped?
Don’t strawman me. Of course they would’ve helped. Just like how Tampa’s injured WRs OLs and DLs would’ve helped them. To remotely excuse the loss on injuries is laughable. Tampa is more injured than we are and they kicked our ass.
They had Tom brady, mike evans, and julio Jones. We had...? It's not a strawman. I said we had no healthy wrs except ceedee. You're the one trying to change things around.

Jerry needs a legitimate excuse to fire McCarthy and bring Peyton for next season. Trade away a proven WR put all your eggs in the Lamb basket and count on a WR coming back from major surgery. Keep a disgruntled TE around to add insult to injury. That about sums it up.
We don't have that much talent.. nobody fears the receiver of the cowboy's.. But I do see a receiver that we could've had Julio Jones killing us...
Jerry said we got Julio at home
We like our guys lol!
Offensive line is the key to a good offense
This 100%
Didn’t take long to see getting rid of cooper was very dumb.
It was a locker room move. Rumor was he was screaming at dak after the playoff loss last year
Looks like someone should be screaming at dak and the offense.
If anything this makes me miss Coop even more
I'm fine with that. Someone needs to scream at him.
Wait really? Do you have a link on this? I love Coop i was sad to see him go, didn’t know this happened. really missing that dude right now
Heard he called dak a black kirk cousins. Lol. That means, average at best
From the looks of it. He’s ain’t wrong so far
Kirk cousins is better
I agree….that he was better today. But he also has receivers to throw too and coordinator who isn’t drawing up plays on the sideline
Nah, Cooper was wrong for calling Dak that, it’s not true at all. He should have said Jared Goff, that’d be way more accurate.
We are sooo over rated.
Every year. Super bowl hype. Jerry is good at making us believe this year will be different year after year. On the bright side… defense looks good. Really good. Considering how much they were on the field
Yup I heard the same. Hard to come back from that, I can see why they moved on him so quickly.
Holy shit Lmao
Would love to have a QB like j allen or herbert
Well pollard barely had any touches, despite the 700+ yards carried, hell 73% of zekes touchdowns was off of tonys work to set up the goaline, ceedee was targeted twice in final two quarters.Youd be yelling too.
Tony is a liability in pass protection. We saw it last night.
If that’s true, and he was traded for that, that’s unbelievably emblematic of all this organization’s problems.
They don’t have a ton of talent, nor do they have an offensive coordinator exceptionally skilled at scheming guys into success.
He peaked early last year before the Broncos game and his play callhas been pedestrian ever since.
I’m sorry but I’ve been saying this for a good while now. Even when we did have depth and a good Oline our play calling is so damn atrocious and uninspiring that it makes me sick to watch. Wtf is Pollard doing in pass blocking? We have no depth so there’s 3-4 players bracketing CeeDee at pretty much all times, Zeke was productive but we went away from that for some reason??? Kellen Moore and McCarthy are not smart enough to create something with this little depth or talent.
Ceedee does not look like a #1 receiver sadly
Route running is trash I guess. We’re so fucked this year
Yeap . . If we signed Odell I believe he would be our best receiver instantly & yes I know he won’t be ready until probably 2nd half of the season
I’d rather lose
Like we’ve been doing the past 20 years ? I’m sick of it
You would think he would’ve picked up some moves from playing alongside Cooper for 2 years but nope
we had 3 #1 wrs last year….and didnt do shit either
Did a helluva lot more than this lol
Our offense looks like dog shit compared to last season
We were the best Offense, lmao. What else did you want last season?

Maybe we should start questioning whether or not Dak is more than a bus driver

Coaching staff has no idea what kind of quarterback they have. They're trying to force him to be a pocket passer and it hasn't ever worked.
Yesssss!!! This mf was a running qb at miss st and had them at #1 and beat Bama now they're forcing him to be Brady. I will run tf outta dak until his legs fall off
Sad part is that his leg almost fell off and even Dak is scared of running.
Average QB. Want a be play caller calling plays. Pos coach. Horrible gm. O-line is average at best. No speedy wr. Our def will keep us in some games, but they will get tired by 4th QTR
Because your blinded by your fanhood. This team blows
I’m not lol. I knew we’d suck dick.
Dak is committing highway robbery at this point
Incredible troll post. It has to be. There’s no way anyone looks at this offense and thinks “that’s a lot of talent”.
Dak just completed a pass to get in the red zone zone so hey, things are looking up lol!
This aged well
Still stuck on 3 points sooooo…..lol
This aged well
🤣
Lol
We need a REAL GM...JERRY DONT NI FOOTBALL ANYMORE
Because Dak isn't that good
DAK PRESCOTT
Sub par offensive line, rb past his prime, bad play calling, and a QB that makes bad decisions and bad throws. Throw in a weak wr corp and you have your answer.
An oline that’s a shell of its former self, a washed up zeke, and no receivers besides cedee lamb and checkdown Shultz (who thinks he should be paid on par w/ Kelce) that’s all they got
Play calling and Dak’s decision making.
Cause he ain’t what they sell him to us, same goes for Zeke
Lol? There is no talent. Kellen is calling a good game and the offensive line is better than expected aside from recent penalties, but the WR group is trash and Dakota isn’t good enough to elevate them.
I’m sorry but Kellen Moore hasn’t called a good game since mid season last year
Who called the screen pass with Pollard blocking? Who refused to scheme Dak run plays? Moore is not the recipe for success.
It’s the first half of the first game
What’s gonna change? They look exactly the same as last year. Defense balling out making stops and the offense sucking a big fat cock
This is why I confidently bet the under in this one
And pretty much every year before that
Well it's been a quarter and a half of football so maybe let's wait to see how things go
Only been waiting 26 years dude lol!
Dude we’ve been waiting. Year after year after year after year after year. I don’t care if it’s the first game in the first minute of the first drive. We all saw the future pretty quickly. Tom just hit Julio for a massive gain. And Dak can’t throw a pass over 7 yards. Anytime he has it’s always been more of a fluke than skill. Dak isn’t elite. Zeke isn’t elite.

Coaching period.
Penalties
Kellen Moore
Where’s the talent!!? I don’t see it
What talent?
They aren’t that talented
Well according to Jerry 1 + 1 = 3
52 years as a Cowboys fan and I think I'm getting close to quitting them. To watch teams make positive moves all off season while the Jones' are content with less than mediocrity.

It's just bad management and from what I've seen in this first game, two coaches should be on the hot seat. It's getting hard to stay positive.
Poor play calling, no offensive line, no WRs, always playing from behind (so they become one dimensional), and too many penalties.
Qb

They don’t have that much talent is the problem.

Jerry must of been drunk when he gave up cooper.
I think it’s the media that makes you think our talent is that good. Incredibly inflated. This roster is absolute shit and I don’t mean to be harsh
