I, I mean, at this point, the book has been written on the Dallas Cowboys.
Uh, the, the Ravens get a 2825 win.
Keep in mind they were a big 28 6 in the fourth quarter.
They ran the ball 45 times.
They averaged six yards a rush 6.1 yards, a rush.
They, uh, they ran the ball 45 times.
Lamar only threw the ball 15 times and they kicked the snot out of the Cowboys.
And really what they told the whole league is, hey, don’t study anything else every single week when it’s Cowboys week, you just spend all day implementing your entire running play because running plays because that’s all you’re gonna have to do.
You just take your running playbook and you shove it down the Cowboys throats until they can do something about it.
And guess what?
So far the book says they can’t do anything about it even when they want to.
This is a demoralizing loss for the Cowboys.
But really if you watch this game, you know, the Cowboys just got Trouts, they look awful that, that was just as embarrassing as what happened to the Saints a week before this defense is just not good and Dak Prescott is getting a lot of empty calories.
Uh, uh, he’s just that offense isn’t great.
Right now, they need to fix something.
They need to either fix the offense or get the running game going.
They need to fix the defense to where they can stop a nosebleed when somebody runs the ball against them.
But right now they’re in danger of their season really slipping away.
And it goes back to what I talked about the jump week one.
They look awesome against Cleveland.
I was like, whoa cowboys.
They haven’t missed anything and they come home and you look this bad for two games.
I thought at times they looked worse this week than they did last week and that’s saying something and by the way, you didn’t give away the plays, you just got pushed around when you get bullied as much as they did last week.
You would think that you come out the next week with the thunder of the Gods.
There was none of that.
There was no like clap back to any and to your point, you know, they get the Giants next and, you know, I think most people would say that they’ll be a heavy favorite in that game, but then they have the Steelers who are going to be able to shut them down.
They have to take on the Lions and the 49er after that, like, this thing can get really off the rails quickly and then everybody’s gonna start screaming about mccarthy’s job.
