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.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
