Quinn should be out the door already. His failure yesterday is larger in my eyes.

I agree with that. The defense was stunningly bad.

 

[Texas Ace]

Haven’t felt this way since 44-6

This feels worse.

I was angrier at that performance because I was a much more emotionally invested fan back then, but this is way more disappointing.

There was a whole lot more on the line yesterday than there was in that game too.

To me, they're not even close to each other in magnitude nor in expected outcome.

We all wanted Wade to pay back then, but this time we all want sweeping changes from top to bottom.

 

[Texas Ace]

I agree with that. The defense was stunningly bad.

Arguably the worst big game performance by a Cowboys defense ever.

 

[Genghis Khan]

A mix of 2nd, 3rd rounder and change. Nobody’s giving us a 1st

If you think nobody would give us multiple firsts for Dak you haven't been paying attention to the league for the past several decades. We'd get an enormous windfall trading Dak. Multiple firsts. Multiple. Not guessing.

Half the league would line up for him. It's a QB starved league.

 

[Simpleton]

Another glorious first...

There's literally no logical football explanation for this stuff, this was an objectively very good to even great (regular season) team.

They played a far weaker, average opponent at home and shit the bed because they're mentally fragile, scared of failure, unprepared, or all of the above.

I know what @chevycowboys is talking about. Several times towards the end of the season you downplayed our poor performance by saying things like " this doesn't affect our playoffs position". It looked to me like you were being dismissive and unconcerned.

Yeah, I doubt that was me.

No way in hell I came out of the Buffalo and Miami losses waving pom-poms.

 

[Cujo]

Dak should be done here. Today just wrapped it, sealed it and confirmed it. Please move on, we've seen enough.

Yeah, I just don't see how anyone could defend him. Frankly, I don't care if it takes 5 years to find another qb.

If we could get multiple 1's I'd do it for sure.

So you're mad at 1big for, what, not predicting that debacle yesterday? No one expected that.

I would do cartwheels to the moon and back if we traded him and got even ONE first round pick for him in return.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Does this count as a violation?

 

[Texas Ace]

Here's an idea..... Maybe we should get REAL linebackers to play at the linebacker position.

Crazy concept, I know.

 

[Genghis Khan]

The team came in pretty full of themselves.

From Prescott’s HERE WE GOOO cap, Lawrence’s LAW necklace and even Parsons cosplaying Bobby Boucher.

Hey did you hear about our nine Pro Bowlers?

They were already thinking about their second home playoff game and thought an NFL team with pride would just lay down.

The coach owns part of that, but again, the culture of eating the cheese will drive the failure.

Exactly right.

Knowing our idiotic brain trust, we would start the bidding with a fifth rounder. You honestly think we have a smart enough front office to get anything close to that?

Hey if Overshown did not get hurt…

 

[Rev]

Hey if Overshown did not get hurt…

I did not pay much attention to him. Is he considered one of the safety/lber players?

 

[Plan9Misfit]

Hey if Overshown did not get hurt…

You mean the oversized Safety?

 

[boozeman]

I did not pay much attention to him. Is he considered one of the safety/lber players?

Yep. Basically a safety/LB but neither.

 

[Genghis Khan]

But that is independent of Dak's suckage. Heard the stat that until it was 27-7, Dak had thrown for 61 yards with two INTs, including a pick-six.

Yep. Really really bad.
