The Official Dallas Cowboys 2023 Season Thread

I think Jerruh is doing this, because he plans on hiring Deion next season. he knows Deion is a BIG NAME, and someone who he feels comfortable with, and has a relationship with.

The team probably wanted Mike back because he the cool coach and he dont coach them. Everybody loves the cool teacher and not the strict one.

For me it was the first time I seen him play like shyt where the offensive line wasn't mostly fine. I never had a problem with him playing like shyt before because in all those games Tyler the sack Creator is getting shoved in his lap or Steele trash ass is just straight up whiffing on blocks and every single QB in the league looks like shyt when they don't trust their linemen to block and they are just trying to keep from getting hit. This time though he was not under any type of pressure Tyler and Steele was mostly okay, he just stood in the pocket and didn't know what to do. He was just straight up outsmarted. Not outplayed. Not out competed. OUTSMARTED. You can't be getting outsmarted in year 8. Can't do it.

And then...even worse...soon as he was down 27. Soon as it was over. Soon as every person knew there was 0% chance Dallas was coming back...here he comes. Here comes the throws. Here comes the moving in the pocket and going downfield. Here comes the yards and the touchdowns. AS SOON as the pressure of the moment was over, and there was no expectation to win, Dak started playing well. And in that moment it became clear. Dude can't play well when there is pressure on him. And it aint no way to win or even get to the super bowl without playing under pressure. And thus, we never going anywhere with Dak. And thus there is no point in having him here.

He put up such great regular season numbers, he had the cowboys offense looking unstoppable so many times throughout the years, that I just figured if we can just block and have enough of a run game he can do that on the biggest stage. But the packer game revealed he can't. He won't ever be that guy in the playoffs. He won't ever be that top 5 offense guy. It aint no point in paying attention to the Dak who over a 7 week period goes 6 - 1 with 15 touchdowns and 3 picks with a perfect QB rating. That dude aint NEVER going to show up when it matters.

And now...when I look back at this season...it all makes sense. His playoff performance fell right in line with what he did this season. Everyone knew coming into the season that the top 3 teams in the NFC was 49ers, Dallas, Eagles, and they all played each other so it would get settled. Everyone had that 49ers game circled. He didn't play well up to that game and he didn't play well in that game. Cause he felt the weight of that game. The weight of whoever wins this is probably the best team in the NFC. And then after he lost to Philly, any chance of the division was over. And after that Philly game...with it being clear the 49ers were better...with it being almost impossible to win the division...there was no more pressure, we were resigned to a wildcard spot. He played great. And then Philly had arguably the biggest in season collapse in nfl history. And then he lucked into that 2 seed. And then everyone said well just go ahead and punch the cowboys ticket to the nfc championship game they never lose at home and they about to get two games at home. Now its expectations. Now people penciling you in. Now the talk is how can anyone keep up with you at home. Now the Packers game is just a formality. Now the pressure is on you to win. And he completely folded up. So I can never believe in him again. He can never be the man on the field. I don't know if he can even be a man on the field anymore period. I bet when he got home all his toilets seats were down. He sit down to pee now. Jerry need to go ahead and throw them urinals' away cause these nikkas bytched up so bad aint none of them peeing standing up anytime soon.


Same thing for Micah. You know who Micah is? He the Dak Prescott of Edge Rushers. shyt I don't even know if he that. At least Dak put up numbers in garbage time. Micah probably still getting his head shoved in the dirt by some random ass Packers linemen they probably couldn't get a 5th round pick for.

I can't rep you right now, as soon as I pass some rep around, I'm swinging some rep your way.



I gave up on this goofball after the 2022 SF playoff loss. I wasn't even mad at that game or any of them moving forward. I was cracking up at this past Packers game. This franchise is past living off it's past success. It's on fumes. The owner and GM don't know how to change that so here we lie...


the QB said he bought LV items because it reminded him of the Super Bowl and where it was being played. Our all everything pass rusher go run to his podcast and talk tough but praise everybody...He gets his 13 sacks and he's good to go.


I'm sure I'll be back, just need my usual time away from these jokers and this foolishness...

I'm going to smooth just pretend like you aint even type this part. When i read about that story my brain just said "nope nope nope" cause aint NO WAY somebody could be that corny and cringe

 

[duckbutta]

not me lol. I knew they were going to bring him back for his last remaining year. He gone regardless after next season unless they make a nfc championship

I was actually 50/50 on it. I think it's clear the fanbase is out on both Dak and McCarthy and to bring them back is to risk fans tuning out next season just off of that alone and we know the one thing Jerry WONT tolerate is people not paying attention to Dallas. With Mike back who could possibly even care about next season at all? Who could possibly feel any type of way about him winning 12 games again? Who could possibly feel any type of way about him getting smoked in the playoffs again?

But to counter that point...Cowboys got more bandwagon fans than anybody. For ever real fan who will tune out 10 more bandwagon fans will tune in when they post those pictures of Denzel at Oxnord talking to the team in August.

 

[duckbutta]

Skins bout to be the top NFC East team for the next decade

They won't get Snyder stink off of them that fast. It'll take years. It's not like the cowboys will win anything while they continue to be bad. But they will continue to be bad.

We gotta keep it real 3x 12-5 seasons is not a easy feat. With Garrett we were struggling to win 9 games. Mike not going nowhere. But this off season that whole franchise need to do some deep deep deep soul searching and reassessment.

It's not an easy feat but it also doesn't get us anywhere near our goals. We have 1 playoff win in 4 years with McCarthy and it came against a 45 year old with one foot out the league, a team who couldn't run the ball, a terrible defense, and one of the most conservative coaches in the league. We going to have all of that going for us again? Cause every single time we didn't have that going for us we lost in the playoffs.

If the destination is 150 miles, and you get to 120 and run out of gas...it might be worth it to figure it out and try to find out why...but after running OUT OF GAS 3 fukkING TIMES...you would probably be better served starting over and trying to figure out a different way to get to the destination than what you are doing..things that don't work 3 times have a high probability of not working 4 times...

 

[El Bombi]

The team probably wanted Mike back because he the cool coach and he dont coach them. Everybody loves the cool teacher and not the strict one.

And the reason why the same result will happen next season.

 

[HollywoodP]

I'm not going to watch a single game next year on a non-illegal stream. I already stopped buying Cowboys merch years ago. Jerry Jones is getting no more from me.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

I think Jerruh is doing this, because he plans on hiring Deion next season. he knows Deion is a BIG NAME, and someone who he feels comfortable with, and has a relationship with.

It's gonna be some Marvin Lewis type of cat who will be forced to bring on Jason Witten as OC, rinse and repeat the Wade/Garrett era.

 

[Rell84shots]

Jerry is the same guy that said we have no idea how big of a check he'd write to win another SB, yet he continues to be cheap when it comes to the coaching staff. I don't think Jerry believes that they're close to a SB, I think we all know he's keeping MM because he's a pushover.

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

He is playing the wrong position. Because he wants to. It wasn't poor coaching. It was Micah decision to be an edge rusher. That is a glamour position. Micah aint going back to being a linebacker and playing in a crowd and making plays all over the field. Aint no notoriety or fame to be gained in that. Dude wants to just mindlessly chase the QB, get one sack in a game that would be a blowout, and call it a day.

Less wear and tear on the edge position

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

We on the same page w the bumass QB, but Quinn gotta go. He doesnt have an answer for the Shanahan coaching tree.

They all have their way w this defense and its schematically

This 100%.

Whether they keep Dak long-term or let him go in a year or two.....there are too many Shanahan coaches out there now and they are blocking the Boys path. Defense looks lost EVERYTIME they play one of those offenses.

Even if they cut Dak right now and put in Trey, the team still needs to fix the trenches on both sides and improve the flexibility on D.

My guess....is that the Cowboys defense isn't "smart." Mike Nolan's defense required a lot of thinking and they played like shyt. DQ has a more simple scheme and it's easy for players to jump in and play well. They are good in man coverage but when they run zone and need discipline....team looks lost. When they have to think and dissect, it's a shytshow. Niners bruhs on D are sharp and adjust on the fly.

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

Since 2006:

Cowboys are 6th in wins.

All the other teams in the Top 10 have either played in or won AT LEAST one SB.

Unlike the Browns, Lions, Texans, Commanders etc., the Cowboys have mostly been "good", yet keep running into the same roadblocks no matter who is on the roster.

Who is the face of the franchise? Jerry.

How many teams have their owner as the most recognizable person? The whole organization is rotten.
