Patrick Bateman

Means he's unvaccinated. Jerrah said all but like 4 players were vaccinated...... Right...... Cowboys are one of the hardest hit teams with COVID. It's the details this organization can't get right.

Doubt it'll be that bad by election day. I'm going to guess the races tighten up, but the question is do they tighten up enough? Odds aren't good but they have almost a year to alter the narrative.

I agree Moore and McCarthy were strangely inept vs basically rushing 4 or 5 a lot of the time. Like they didn't want to chip or even go max protect. I do think after CeeDee went out there was concern that no one could beat man coverage enough. Wilson was very poor with drops and Noah Brown was a no show so they kept Schultz in a lot of routes. But maybe 2 TEs was a better thought. Collins was bad yesterday, and Steele was worse. McGovern was really poor too. Overall just a terrible game plan and the OL was really bad with poor weapons to win on the outside. I've always had concerns about depth. I think McGovern is a good backup level interior guy with potential to become a sound starter, but why not put CW back in when he was getting whipped by Chris Jones, who is a stud inside. Collins has to be better. The whole offense should get a F. Nobody really played well except Zack (who still gave up a sack) and Biadasz was decent. On the positive side (not many), Parsons looks like LT reincarnated and Trysten Hill actually flashed 3-4 times coming back from injury. Dorance Armstrong had a couple of nice plays. We'll have to see if Tyron's return can stabilize the pass rush and we should be able to run against the Raiders. DLaw's IR window may open this week. I doubt he plays on Thursday but maybe the following Thursday or the following Saturday. Seems like he's ahead of Gregory.

Is he? He got off to a hot start last year before regressing to more of who he was. I'd like to see him sustain it for a season, but if he can, then he definitely has taken a step forward and that's a huge thing for his career. He's still a guy who's only a 16.9 PER. He's still a guy shooting 32.5% from 3. He's still a guy who averages more turnovers than assists. He's still a guy who can jump out of the gym but averages 4 rebounds a game. He's still a guy who has given a 0.0 VORP. And he's still a guy on the team with the best record in the league, who has a negative Box Plus/Minus at -1.7. Again, thru 16 games, he looks like a better version and good is a subjective term, but let's wait awhile until we get out the anointing oil. I think it's apt to say he's off to an encouraging start.

The force to Lamb before the half was just stupid. There.... in the 4th when you probably only get one more possession, you gotta take your shot. It's part of the learning process I guess, but Dak hasn't been good. He hasn't been given a lot with injuries and game plan, but he hasn't been sharp either. It happens.

D is gassed and now they're missing assignments. Golston just sucks at setting the edge in the run game. We miss DLaw so much there.

I felt the same..... couldn't find anyone but he has to know the down and distance and hope he can get a penalty. I get ball security but at this stage, gotta take some chances.

That's on Dak..... has to get the ball out. Zack getting beat on pass pro. Just not meant to be.

Yup. The offensive staff really needs to rethink how they adjust, this was a terrible game plan, and the changes on the OL along with Amare being a fool and Lamb out has made this offense mediocre at best.

I mean..... i get changing up the coverage, but 8 yard cushions by the corners on 2nd and 2???? Just giving up yardage.

Probably. At this point, they'll have to. What a weak call. JFC. That's just football.

McGovern got beat again... ugh.

Good little drive cooking. Gotta get a TD going into the 4th. Make it one score.

Brown looks like Lamb a lot...... when they're walking.

He definitely has looked a little lost when his initial game plan doesn't work. Tyron is the MVP of the offense after Dak. And now missing your top 2 WRs. Dorance!!!!! He's really coming on. Get our top 2 DEs back and now you have a good rotation.

Again, lack of execution. Schulz doesn't get the pick and can't get Zeke out in open space. With Lamb out, this is probably too much. I just don't know if we can score 17 more, which may not be enough as it is.

There it is. Get a little protection and right there in that middle zone portion of the defense. Attack!

So there's another issue with McGovern, on the screen. He's slow to get out there. If he picks up Thornhill..... that's a 15 yard screen. Fuck!!!! Get the ball out with some air, Dak!

Connor definitely wasn't playing as well as he was last year, but I don't think I would have made the change this week...... on the road, in perhaps the nosiest stadium in the league with no Tyron. I think that's a coaching failure. If you want to make the change, then at home on Thanksgiving may have been a better place. Micah Parson is fucking LT reincarnated...... JFC.

Our left side is not good in pass pro. They're trying McGovern instead of CW and frankly, he hasn't been great. Better run blocker. Steele just isn't a LT.

My bad. Collins. Just got crushed in space.

Biadasz misses a difficult block. Trying to block their best pass rusher in space, but our left side is so weak right now, we're trying to be creative and hide them.

Okay, 2nd and 29. If you can't get off the field here. Just fold up the tents at half.

There it is. Bubble and slip screens aren't how you beat KC. They're daring you to throw downfield on them because of their offense. All these dink and dunk WR screens are poison for the offense right now. The OL is just getting killed though.

No. KC is playing man under and sitting on the short stuff. They need to run, I agree, but it we can't block worth a shit, then the 12-15 yard middle zone is where you attack them. KC is really handsy so force them to move their feet.
