[quote=MTK;1262951]"Reality" is pretty elusive for some at this point I see. This team is going nowhere fast.[/quote]

It's pretty simple MTK. This team is pretty bad, in an all time bad division. It's a toss up. They could lose their next 10 games, or they could win four of the next five. That's the reality.

It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1
 

[QUOTE=Chief X_Phackter;1262953]The division is bad, and it will probably end up as one of the worst all time. I agree with that wholeheartedly. However, I did say that it doesn't appear this team could compete outside its division, so I have no aspirations for them to make a run in the playoffs. I'm just saying that if you look at the division, they have as good a chance right now as any other team. My guess is Philly takes it eventually, but who knows?



I know a lot of folks on here would rather them lose to better their draft position, but I'm not wired like that. For the record, I don't think the players are either, but I guess it's fun for some fans to dream about having the #1 pick in the draft. I guarantee the players aren't thinking about next year's draft.



So what? Well, because I would rather see my team win than lose. That's pretty much it.[/QUOTE]



Agree about the Eagles but its just because someone actually has to win it. I think if this team had maybe not quit against Cleveland or used its momentum and gone into OT against the Giants instead of thinking your anemic offense was going to get two against the Giants than yeah lets win the division. But honestly we are 1-5 and we play in a historically bad division. If there was ever a time to throw in the towel it is now. And i mean that in the way of im not going to get all pumped for games and go on an emotional roller coaster every Sunday about them winning or losing because I know it is fruitless. Even if we win the division it is going nowhere. Absolutely nowhere. I do not mean they should tank.
I totally understand the want to win. We all do. But our desire has absolutely nothing to do with Sundays. I think we are going 1-15 because we stink not because I want a franchise quarterback. Lol.
I dont know if RR or Snyder or anyone on the team is tanking. I honestly dont think we need to try to lose. It comes naturally. RR has made some extremely questionable decisions that is why people are saying tank job. But at the end of the day it just boils down to talent and we have very little. So I can choose to cheer for my putrid team who swallows timeouts or doesn’t carry momentum into OT where I guarantee we would have won, OR I can start looking to the future and winning games. Which, as we can all agree, is not this year. So unfortunately we are in a holding pattern. Nobody is telling you not to root for us. Lol. We are just saying it doesn’t matter. They are going to lose all or a vast majority of the rest of their games cus we stink. It’s terrible. I know. [emoji22]

I tend to agree, but with Dak out the eagles are now in the drivers seat.

We are going to pound the cowboys Oline this coming week.

I knew the cowboys defense was gonna be bad, but this is worse than I thought. The secondary is just awful. Lawrence got paid and is now a jag.

Garrett and McCarthy are average coaches

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1
 

Let's stop dreaming here, did you all see what the Cards did last night, well that's what the dirty Dallas Cowboys are gonna do to us Sunday...Dalton is gonna throw for 400 yards, Zek is gonna run for 150yds because our defense is gonna be on the field most of the game and gonna be gassed, our offense ain't gonna do anything so let's face it...WE STINK!!

I think winning matters, and trying to win matters. Yes, there have been some questionable decisions by RR early in this season, and mixed signals. The timeout usage was what I didn't understand. I'm not that down on him though. Whatever his reasons were for those decisions, I'm over it.

For now, it's Dallas week, and I'd like nothing more than to embarrass them next Sunday.

Such a strange situation.

I honestly dont know what to root for. Just losing out for best pick or seeing if you have a chance, if things can come together .. then get clobbered in the wildcard.

Im fine with either.

Good draft position - yay
guys win some games, feel good about themselves - yay

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1
 

If you had told me before the game that WFT would have more yards, 1st downs, a >50% 3rd down conversion and be perfect on 4th downs, and that Allen would throw for more TDs than Jones, not throw more picks than Jones, hold the Giants to 112 passing yards, and that Jones would be the Giants’ leading rusher, I would have said we win in a blowout. Nope. Not the 2020 WFT.

And what sucks is that we may all feel worse if we lose to a truly horrid Dallas team this weekend. Whatever we say about Trevor Lawrence, I wouldn’t feel good about that.

So many years of this unwatchable football.

BTW, I think we know how important Matty I is to our defense. We don’t look the same since he went on IR.

That's what I said in another thread, when looking at the stats alone. But the key to losing last week was 3 plays; big gain by Jones (on the D, particularly Collins) and the 2 turnovers by Allen. The INT was a terrible throw (I can't even tell what he was trying to do as it wasn't even close to being a catch) and the fumble for obvious reasons were the real killers. Those 3 plays alone probably account for 2 two TD win instead of a 1 point loss. :(

I'll take a 4-5 win season AND Division title...with a good enough draft spot to grab a top QB.

Bring Alex Smith in for a playoff run and last hurrah.

Start over next year with a new QB.

If they get in the playoffs they will have a terrible draft position, playoff teams have the last twelve picks..... not worth it for winning the division at 5-11 which would normally be a top 5 pick

Have yall been over to cowboyszone?

Man that is a depressing place. That franchise is fucked for a long time. Every single player they gave huge contracts to are either injured or under performing.

Zeke - out of shape and over paid
D Lawrence - 25M a year for zero pass rush
Jaylon Smith - zero football iq, liability everywhere
Vander Esch - back to playing but had fusion surgery to his neck
Tyron Smith - injured and under performing
Zach martin - concussion
Travis Frederick - retired

^^^ these are all huge money players. good thing they gave Amari Cooper a 5 yr 100M contract w 60 guaranteed.

#Cowboys players initially bought into keeping things internal. Now as they sit 2-4 the discontent is leaking out. On the coaching staff “totally unprepared. They don’t teach. They don’t have any sense of adjusting on the fly.” Another “they just aren’t good at their jobs”

6th - Overall

Re: It's DALLAS WEEK! 2020-Round 1
 

Washington signed WR Robert Foster, formerly of the Bills.


Foster has been a favorite on Football Twitter as a capable deep threat on the perimeter. The Alabama product has a 9.8 YPT average on 62 career targets, and those targets came from Josh Allen before he was a hipster MVP candidate. Washington's receiver depth chart is a current joke behind Terry McLaurin, so hopefully Foster can see some snaps in the second half of the season. He, of course, is not actually on the fantasy radar right now.


We signed him off the Packers practice squad. I like the attempt to get some speed on the field
