I actually agree with that, which is why the only logical conclusion I can come up with is that it's mostly Dak's call. Any "franchise", highest-paid QB in the league is going to have tremendous say in what they do on offense. They don't just take orders like some high school or college QB.

But I think it's pretty obvious there is a difference in the plays they're running.
I don't know that I'd blame anyone. When it's working with Dak it's great. When it isn't everyone gets upset. Anyway, just get a RB and stick with the run game and I think all will be great.

Yeah they already suck. Goof Son has already set the stage for the no cap space bullshit. Parsons will be the shoe waiting to drop that holds up any progress for anyone else (bye Odighizuwa) and so on.
Yep. I’m not sure what windfall or change in the salary cap Rosie and Retard are counting on but it’s obvious they have gone into a shell about spending money on FAs and roster improvements.
That model is really starting to show it doesn’t work and the product on the field also shows it.
For me, I don’t care….its been nice not really following them gung ho like all the years I used to. With YouTube I can join the game from the beginning at any point so I spend my Sundays building my hot rods in the garage and I’ll check the scores around the 3rd quarter…if the games close I might pop in and catch the end. If it’s the same bullshit as always I just laugh and keep doing something productive.

Agreed.

They're actually pretty close to being a top offense. The OL is working itself out, they already have CD, they have competent TEs, and a nice gadget player in Turpin.

They need a good RB and a good #2 WR and the offense will be plenty good enough.

A big part of the problem early in the season was the OL but it seems to be settling down now.

I agree, we aren't far off, the fact that we had the literal worst running game in the league for half a season because Jerry/Stephen are the dumbest people imaginable, combined with a very young OL, along with the defense being a complete sieve is why everything looked so ridiculous.

If we had been starting Dowdle from the start of the year with the defense playing this well we'd be at least 8-6, if not 9-5 or even 10-4 depending on Dak's health.

The offense still needs another playmaker because they put way too much on Lamb, but I think it can either be a RB or WR, we don't need 5 new offensive starters or anything.

Change out the personnel and I doubt there'd that much difference. Look how loaded the Lions are.

The biggest thing Ben has going for him is that he got Goff's head back on straight and to an even higher level than McVay.

And who knows, maybe he's the next truly difference-making head coach. That's possible. But odds are he's not.


That, arguably, is his greatest accomplishment. Goff is playing like a pro bowler now when he had become an afterthought.

The most promising thing is guys like Hoffman and Bass have stepped in and showed they can get the job done.

Jeff is one of the best out there at calling them on their BS.
And I believe that is why he left that radio station and went independent.

Yeah, it's because he kind of got burned by the organization and the affiliated radio station. So he doesn't really give a shit about being real about what is going on. (Essentially got kicked off the Cowboys.com draft show because he quit his job with TheFan or whatever it is). He sort of has nothing to lose now.
