Dallas Cowboys 2024 Season Thread -- Jerrah the Asshat Rides Again

[dcar00 13961]

that was a TD if they don't fumble it

[TOR 5217]

Don't do this to me, Cowboys.  

[Horn80 6016]

Nice catch

[Sgt Hulk 13537]

3 wins is about the ceiling here 

 

rush looks so much better than Dak 

[HRSchenker 2224]

WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? WHY ARE WE GOING FOR 2?

[Horn80 6016]

Obligatory.  Cooper better than Dak.

[DixonHur 10862]

Imagine if Jerruh hadn't signed Dak to a stupid contract, and instead kept Rush and then brought in a bunch of mid-tier FAs

[Sgt Hulk 13537]

If they kicked a FG last drive we are in business 

[Jive Turkey 12436]

Rush seems to throw more catchable balls than Dak.  i know ATL is pretty much prevent, but that was a nice drive.

 

[dcar00 13961]

that was mccarthy saying he wanted no part of OT.

[HRSchenker 2224]

I'm glad it worked but goddamn I don't trust this team to do anything special like two point conversions

That one was actually the correct call. It increases the admittedly small probability of winning.

Exactly!!!!  We may be a...... 3 win team!  Bro, this team is way farther away than a couple of mid-tier FAs.  Get real.

[TOR 5217]

Really, the only thing that fixes this is a plane crash.

Terrible showing by Cowboys.  Water is wet.

[Bevo 13440]

Tough game. Can y'all donate some offensive linemen to Houston?

Most of the OL would have to be replaced, a running back or two, and then solid Nos. 2 and 3 receivers behind Lamb. So that's six upgrades needed ... just on offense.

On defense, a pure rush end, a bona fide 1 technique, another linebacker, and some corners/safeties who can cover and stay healthy ... so at least five more there.

So basically, you'd have to replace/upgrade half the team to have a contender. But Jerruh gonna Jerruh.

[Radical Larry 28466]

[Nicole44 21969]

Assuming we lose today what games outside of NYG and TB can we actually win. I think it will wind up being Lions vs Chiefs in SB I guess. Unless Burrow and Cincy go on some ridiculous winning streak. What other games can we actually win???? Our defense is dogshit. At least Lamb as banged up as he is has some fucking Dog in him. Damn. Henry would have been nice but don’t tell the cap and contract creating master Jerruh that. Dumb billionaire mofo. 

[dcar00 13961]

hey the close loss! we are almost there.

A couple?  Do you know how many players $60m can get you?  Derek Henry would have been the most expensive at $8m.  Probably could have brought in a dozen players for what they are paying Dak.

I'm actually stunned that McCarthy understood at least accepted the math on that play.  I assume he heard about the strategy while watching tiktok videos this week...

[Nicole44 21969]

Time to watch some real NFC contenders play now. 
 

teams that have the cap space to make moves before the trading deadline. Fuck you, Jerry. 

[mdmost 42501]

Giants and Carolina. Maybe Washington at the end of the year because they're sitting starters after winning the NFC East. 

[Steamboat1874 4013]

Not getting Henry when they had a chance is inconceivable to me.

[dcar00 13961]

If Dak is hurt for extended period I expect Jerry to run the string out with mccarthy for the season.

They'll go 1-2 at best in those games.

Cooper Rush, the new King of Empty Stats!

[jdhorn92 1534]

Most entertaining thing about the radio feed was Babe telling the story of Novachek taking him horse riding.

[Gucci_Suit 2580]

-Rush is about the same as Dak as a passer. 

-I can’t stand Dak, but I was happy to see him actually run the ball as if he cared and wanted to earn his money

-Both Cook and uncle Rico are pretty good change of pace backs. Neither are starters. 

-Turpin tackled himself at least 3 times. Each on plays where he might have scored. But he is expecting contact and stumbles or steps out. He could have changed the game, but he didn’t.

-Overshown is exciting

-Guyton is an idiot. 

-The team is undisciplined and I am absolutely shocked. 

-The middle of the defense is generally garbage. There are individual efforts, etc. but for the most part they get pushed backwards. 

Summary: this is going about as expected. 

[TOR 5217]

Me to my 84 y/o Mom:  oh, the Cowboys lost

Her:  Again?

[dcar00 13961]

Here's the thing with Dak.  He's paid like a top 3 QB to make top 3 QB plays consistently even when pressured.  Everyone says if you can just keep Dak clean he's great.  yes he is along with 20 other QB's in the NFL that cost less.

If Dak now needs an OL and Coach that Brady had he's not worth it...at all.

The fact that a spare like Turpin is the second best WR on the team speaks volumes about how horribly the Cowboys have stocked the position. Tolbert is terribly disappointing. Dak seems to be allergic to him. He should be getting 8 targets per game by now, even without a lost cause game script. especially with the shitty running game.

Why do I get the feeling Jerrah is impotent. Signing Dak for a premium was to show the world how big his balls were, when in reality, if he truly had big balls, he woulda told Dak's agent to take a hike and start rebuilding. Maybe get a guru like Jonah Hill in here for some advice. He could have started a thread on Surly under a gay name asking for advice on running the team - and curing impotence. Hindsight is 20/20.

I don’t think Jerrah feels like he has time for a rebuild. He’ll leave that for when Stephen’s watch begins. The Jones 2 era.

Jerry's not rolling the dice on a 1st round QB and risk Dak going somewhere and being decent.

[Iceman 2596]

Hindsight has nothing to do with assessing Jerrah. 
 

The movie Titanic had a more surprising ending than this Cowboys shitshow. 
 

When he didn’t shitcan Fathead Mike and insisted he was resigning Dak last January, I tapped out as a fan.  This season has been a payoff in spades.  Zero surprises.

Look, they could afford Derrick Henry this year.  Jerrah's got you snowed.  The front office not signing Henry had nothing to do with the extension of the WR or the QB.... In fact, it actually freed up money for this year and next.  If you don't understand the economics of football, it's hard to understand team building.  Henry's great.... on a winning team.  He makes a good team a step better, but see Saquan.  A good RB can't save a team from itself.  Who else would you have signed, and how would that effected this year's cap?  Remember, if you don't sign Dak, he's counting about 50m vs this year's cap, so you actually have less money to spend this year.  Or did you not understand this?

If you just want to say, Dak isn't playing up to his contract and we should have sucked to get in position to draft a franchise guy, then cool, there's probably a pretty good argument.
