Dak is an elite QB and Cooper and Lamb are a great tandem. The OLine is not the dominant OLine theyve had in the past and Zeke is a shell of himself. On defense they have some big names but they do not play very well as a whole

They have a ton of injuries on defense and are flat out bad, if it wasn't for a really bad call on the chargers offense they would be 0-2.

Also Dak isn't elite you need a playoff W at least imo for that.

Hopefully they stay Zeke heavy.   Tony Pollard IMO is the more explosive player and overall better RB at this point.   That started emerging last year.  Not that Zeke is trash.   But losing a step has really altered how scary he is. 

Will be curious to see the usage tonight.  They were about a 50/50 split the week prior.

Dak has a playoff win.  The last time the Cowboys went to the playoffs they advanced a game.

Dak is solid, their receivers are great, Elliott has looked like trash this year and their OL has been bottom 5 in the league.

Their D is mediocre at best. They are not well coached overall.

I'm very confident about this one, even without McCaffrey/Horn. Bouye/CJ will help our D continue to be the best in the league even against a better offense. Darnold will be more of the same. Limit mistakes, a few deep shots to keep the D honest but mostly just steadily moving the ball and putting up enough points to get a convincing victory. 27-13 good guys

According to ESPNs Pass Blocking Win Rate metric, the Cowboys are dead last in the league at around 39%. I think our pass rush will help our depleted secondary this week against one of the better WR corps in the league. We should be able to pressure Dak consistently and not give his WRs much time to get open.

IF if was a fifth.....If the Cowboys wouldn't have left 7 pts. on the board (2 missed FGs and an extra point) they would have beat Tampa opening night and be 2-0. Dak beat Russell Wilson in his lone play off win. 

The Cowboys OL and secondary is sub par. The lack of blocking affects their running game. Their defense is ranked near the bottom of the league and didn't make the Chargers punt. Well, they did force a punt but got a ruffing the kicker penalty.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
