That's true but given the Denver game I'm starting to wonder if something is actually going on here.

Is there a blue print after all?

Seems like KC played us the same way.

It's one thing to be down your top WR but Lamb was in the entire first half and we still had like 75 yards passing and like 3 yards per attempt.

It shouldn't be THAT bad with Lamb and Gallup.

Because that's really really bad.
Maybe the blueprint is to lose both starting DEs, a starting DT, a starting WR, a starting LT, other chaos on the OL, plus another few injuries for good measure.

None of those guys can command the attention or do the things that Cooper does. Mainly not drop the ball. You just cant take the #1 WR out and say its not an excuse. There is a dropoff there and probably more than we would all like to admit (yes, @bbgun ).

With that being said I think Smith being out was worse. Dak being off today needed a cleaner pocket
I am behind taking a tackle high or finding a replacement for Tyron. Any chance he can move in to LG? Worked for Larry Allen right?

I know most people will think this is crazy, but I'll mention it anyway.

So Parsons is excellent By any measure, he's a great player. He could be a once in a decade LB.

As good as Parsons is (and he's great), does he help the Cowboys more than would a healthy, dominant, high quality LT (such as Reshawn Slater)?

Parsons had another very strong game today, but it didn't matter much.

Yes, without Parsons we would have been down by 30 easily and Dak was off tonight.

Larry was always a guard. He moved out to tackle because of necessity, and just so happened to be a pro bowl talent out there. When that was fixed, he moved back to guard.

No. The answer you're looking for is no.

While we're on this, why have none of our intrepid reporters found out what is the deal with Josh Ball? Not saying he's Tyron Smith, but he can't fill in a game or two? Does he look that bad or did he get hurt again or what?

if Dallas isn’t careful they are going to let the Eagles back into contention for the Division with the way they are playing right now. 2 games against the Skins-who are starting to play well-plus a couple other toss up games coming up. This team could be 8-5 or worse in the blink of an eye.

Eh this game doesn't worry me that much. Now a repeat performance against the Raiders and I'll start to be concerned. We just need to get healthy like I said.

It’s not the game that worries me, it’s the way Dak is playing.

Eh it wasn't a great game by Dak but the receivers and Oline were trash today. They play well and it's a different game and different opinion on Dak.
So many drops.

Again, dude makes a difference maybe in one game this year. Parsons has impacted basically every game.

I'd love to have Slater on the team but he wouldn't do for us what Parsons has.
I don't know if I agree if you are insinuating that a tackle only makes a difference on one game.

I think we do need a talent infusion on the OL.

That being said no I would not trade Parsons for Slater.
