Did anyone expect this good of a start to the season? It's still a great start for a team that is still in the process of rebuilding.

We came in without CMC and Jaycee Horn, and still tried keeping it competitive at the end despite the daunting lead the Cowboys led up.

Do we have issues? Yes, the Oline is abysmal and our defense had a wakeup call. 

But it was unrealistic to consider this young team a 17-0 juggernaut this season. We went up against a legitimate Cowboys team and the refs calling everything in their favor. It happens.

This loss sucks, but we have a lot to look forward to. Promising talent, Sam Darnold showing might, and we have a manageable schedule ahead.

Kick off the dirt, put your heads up, and let's move on to the next game and show we can improve from this.

Team showed a lot of fight. Dallas was given a free touchdown in the first half that ended up being the difference. Obviously we are terrible on o-line and d-line got murdered today. However I’ll take 3-1 at this point.

A lot of things didn't go our way. A bad call to try a FG when we should've punted was also an arguably bigger deal as well. Gave easy field position for the Cowboys.

We got 13 games ahead this season to prove we can get past this. I'm optimistic that this is just a small bump in the road for us that we will learn from, and anything to help a young team like this learn and improve is valuable.

We may not be the best of the NFC yet, but we are showing we have the potential for it. Just a matter of time, building up this team bit by bit, and learning from mistakes.

The game changed after one call. We had most of the momentum. We have to learn from this but in hindsight that bad call by the refs ruined the game for us. 

Yeah that forward movement call....ughh....wish the NFL did not have announcers BALLS...b/c they would've called out the REFS way much more

My concern is that we didn't look like we belonged on the field with them until they bafflingly went prevent and rested their best DB late.

First half we certainly looked competitive. Had a pathetic ref call gone our way it may have been a widely different score the first half.

Just a matter of learning and getting better from this. Mistakes and turnovers we made were easy fuel for the high powered Dallas offense. 

They have capitalized on turnovers all season thus far and this game is no different.

I think we looked like the better team at the half. 3rd Quarter was ugly.. I think they dialed up the pressure and all our WR routes were taking wayy to long to develop. I think we've proven that we are legit. Couple O-line pieces away from being real contenders.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
