Imagine if Barkley had Dez, Beasley, T-Will, Witten, and that stacked Cowboys O-line![]()
Dez had a horrible game too. Quit on a couple of routes and had the fumble at the end. You really can't put it all on anyone, all you can say is that the offense lost the game while the defense played great.

The Buc's in a MUST WIN situation, playing for their playoff life, yep intense. The Cowboys trying to stay healhty for the playoffs, intense????
A Buc stubs his toe it's....get back in there we have to have this.
A Cowboy stubs his toe....we better sit you down, playoffs coming up.

Already making excuses in advance for Dak
I said this exact same thing a week ago with Seattle in GB. And the Giants vs Cowboys. We see it all the time and I expect to see it in this "spot'. One team playing for their playoff life like the Packers,Giants and now the Buc;s, while the other is already in the playoffs just trying to stay healthy. This really has to be explained to you, really?
So as usual...WRONG. Dude, have you ever been right about anything, ever?
Dak Prescott is going to be a great NFL QB, if you can't see that why am I not surprised?
Stick to chirp chirp little guy, that's you.
Yes, we know you set excuses up in advance for your mancrushes so you never have to admit when they suck.
Cowboys are going to be fired up...... Boys will get back on track.....Cowboys will win....28-13

Dude, what a player does in any...one...game means...NOTHING. You cannot be this ing stupid. You look at the body of work, you really don't get this, really?
My God, you're dumb, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dude, Joe Flacco had a five INT game, ok? Brett Favre....7...INT game. Remember Timmy Smith in the SB.
Will you ever figure this game out?
Stephone Paige had how many receiving yards in...ONE...game?
Rookies, sheesh~~~~~~~~~~
Ever heard of Beattie Feathers, the first RB to have a 1000 yard season in the NFL, of course not. He averaged over...9...yards a carry that season. I know...huh?
Educate yourself son, ok?

I'll take those 15 points and the Buc's.
meh, i'm all for ting on crickets but gtfo with this weak .
If you see acting 14 as ting on anyone, hahahaha~~~~~~~ Grow up, ok?
Claiborne won't be back until the Lions game it seems. Also Gregory
I'd be happy if they were slightly less predictable. Linehan/Garrett and this run first down, shotgun empty backfield on 2nd down isn't working all the time anymore. And hopefully Frederick gets his together cause Harrison destroyed him all night.

Exactly. I don't know why they don't just pound the ball on first and second (and even third down). Going to Zeke on first and second should result in some pretty short 3rd downs. At least half the time. And 1) keep the defense guessing and 2) wear down the defensive line.
I'd have to go back in watch but I think almost every series in the 2nd half was 1) run 2) pass 3) pass.
There's been a lot of talk that they're trying to save Zeke. If that's the case, then why isn't Dunbar playing all of those passing downs. Or at least more of the 3rd downs. I really don't get what they're trying to do.
Great, Darius Jackson claimed off waivers by Browns cause we activated McFadden. They should have cut Dunbar.

Bust nah.....Cowboys will be fine....I hear Dez was having back issues......
DeMarcus "I'm getting there every time but I have no help on the other edge". ***
Lawrence and Gregory will both likely play in the Detroit game next week, so we'll finally be able to see, at long last, what the Cowboys pass rush is made of when it's healthy. (Though Charles Tapper the redshirt rookie is unlikely to play until next year.)
Wondering if they plan on starting Gregory at RDE and shift Lawrence back to his more natural LDE, or just keeping Lawrence at RDE/Crawford at LDE and using Gregory as that situational 5th pass rusher role on long passing downs and when protecting leads late in games.
The issue with Lawrence is he's not a SPEED rusher, which is just fine, but not in the current Cowboys' case. He's a power, win the line of scrimmage then get to the QB kind of rusher, along the lines of JJ Watt and (now) Joey Bosa. Lawrence is elite in the run defense and, in the 4-3, is a perfect fit on the strongside (left side).
Let's use JJ Watt of the past few years as an example. The guy is built a lot like Lawrence and plays a lot like him. You take a guy like Whitney Mercilus, no he's not a top 5 DE or anything, but he's an excellent SPEED rusher threat, the kind of quick-twitch guy who makes one cut and blows past the tackle, who OLs have to focus a lot of attention on. That means OLs have a tough time containing both, so Watt and Mercilus form an elite pass-rush tandem with Watt getting the majority of the glory as he is the best pass rusher who always gets there despite not being the fastest guy on the line.
The Cowboys don't get there because they make the mistake of rarely lining up SPEED rushers across the line from Lawrence. They're always trotting out a lesser slower rusher, run-integrity guy which works very well against the run game, but rarely allows Lawrence or anyone else to complete a sack despite getting there because QBs are free to roam to the opposite side and make a safety toss or throw it out of bounds. Tyrone Crawford, Jack Crawford and Ryan Davis are just too slow to complement a methodical power pass rusher like Lawrence or JJ Watt.
Getting Randy Gregory back may very well change everything for us. Do you remember when Marinelli actually grew brains and put the Cowboys' currently only active speed-rusher, Benson Mayowa (not elite by any standards, but still can be a good player) across from Lawrence last week against the Giants? Lawrence got pressure per par, but this time Mayowa was there to strip sack Eli and we recovered the fumble... it's not hard guys! Think of Randy Gregory as a much better version of Mayowa. Gregory across from Lawrence, along with the return of Claiborne, could signal the return of a defense that will legitimately scare teams going forward to the playoffs... be very scared.
I'm just tired of dude being hurt and/or suspended all the ing time.
