I'm slow to want a coach fired and I'm really inclined to be patient with Cowboys coaches because the real problem is that Jerry sucks at GM. Still it's time for Garrett to go. They ran like 3 plays in 50 seconds to set up a long field goal just for a shot at overtime. That's just stupid.

Correction, two plays but point well taken.

Lol I like it when you have to deal with these questions and opinions. I think Assassin is on his Dallas board and prefers to stay there ha

I didnt get that 5 yd penalty at the end. Once Looney had the ball set in his hand, it didnt move

There's been lots of discussion about the snap infraction. Ladouceur was quoted as saying that he has made the same snap motion for 14 years and never had that called. In fact the play after the penalty he made the exact same snap and it wasn't called.

Everybody in America knows what the Cowboys problem is except the man who IS the problem.

Yep. Strange, strange call

Michael Gallup played 56-of-66 snaps (85 percent) Week 7 against Washington.

It is a season-high for the rookie a week after he played 81 percent of the offensive snaps. Gallup also set new season marks with three catches for 81 yards and his first touchdown. With Dallas finally committing to him and the passing game showing signs of life

My post game thoughts:

1. Dak continues to show poor anticipation and either makes late throws or flat out misses due to indecision that then destroys his technique. I think the team has to make a decision understanding that Dak isn't a good fit for the Norv Turner Air Coryell offense and either go more to a west coast concept that is built around a short passing game, or move on after next year and bring in a new QB. Its telling that none of Dak's backups look like him. What this really boils down to is I think Jerry has to decide does he stick with the Air Coryell philosophy which means Garrett over Dak, or does he think Dak is special enough that it is easier to find a coach with a philosophy that can better use his strengths.

2. This offensive line is a mess for various reasons. Tyron Smith is a shell of himself and looks old. This team will have to draft a left tackle next year. Connor Williams I think it is fair to say is just over matched physically right now which is to be expected for a rookie guard who played tackle in college. I'm still not convinced he wouldn't be a better fit at tackle and moving Collins back to guard. I doubt they would look at this in season but I think they should at least think about it during the bye week. Collins is a better guard than he is a tackle I think.

3. I can't say anything about Zeke other than I saw great effort, unlike Denver last year, even if he was bottled up the whole game.

4. Great moments for Gallup and production from Beasley as usual. The rest of the group is a total loss at this point but I can't totally blame them until items 1 & 2 get more consistent. That said, I think I would like to see a 3 WR lineup of Gallup, Beasley, and Butler going forward, with Butler being added because he has the most history with Dak other than Beasley and he can and will go up to grab balls.

5. The DL got bullied by the Washington OL and I think part of that was they have built a very nice line under Bill Callahan, and I think David Irving and Malik Collins are still trying to get their sea legs under them. The lack of a pass rush was most disappointing as you have to get heat on Alex Smith. The one thing I feared about the Skins bringing in Alex came true yesterday in that Alex is not going to turn over the ball and help you beat him like Cousins would, so you better get to him and try to force him to play a little ugly. We didnt do it and we paid...that said they still only scored 13 points on offense.

6. I didn't understand why Damien Wilson was starting and at this point I would not let VanderEsh, Smith, and or Lee off the field except for a breather. The DL not winning up front did not help these guys stay clean to deal with AP and it showed.

7. DB did fine...I have no problem with their performance and in fact given the lack of a pass rush it was frankly impressive.

8. We have all talked about it but that last 52 seconds with a timeout left and never even getting one shot to the end zone is criminal and I just can't understand how that happens. I'm looking at you QB and HC...you both should have that foremost in your minds to maximize your time.

Well those are my thought and it will be interesting to see what adjustments, if any, are made during the bye week.

Well we have a WR...not sure I like this though.

Amari Cooper to the Cowboys

At the very least, Cooper is much more talented than anyone we currently have at the position. Whether it works out or not is a different question.

kinda surprising to give up a 1st at this point in time. Hopefully they got something besides Cooper back in return

Repeat after me:
Roy Williams
Joey Galloway

guessing they also looked RD 1 in the 2019 draft to see what might be available

Extremely fair point. I'm cautiously optimistic although it's clear we overpaid.

TMZ is reporting that Terrance is being investigated by the Miami Beach Police Dept. over a hotel room altercation with an Instagram model.

According to the police report, cops were called to the Fontainebleau Hotel on Saturday morning about an incident involving Williams and Nicole Zavala, whose racy IG page has more than 200k followers.
Zavala told cops she met Williams -- who's currently out with a foot injury -- at a nightclub and went back to his room. But while there, Zavala claims a verbal altercation took place and she was asked to leave.
Zavala says she protested -- but Williams called a friend over to physically escort her out. The friend allegedly grabbed her by the arm and put her in the hallway. TMZ Sports obtained a photo of Zavala's alleged injuries.

---

According to the report Zavala is firm in that Williams never touched her himself and the police have a video of her being upset when being asked to leave. The primary hope here is that everyone is alright and safe, but this isn't good for Williams to be mixed up in when he's already dealing with everything else.

I bet a left tackle might have been available...we probably need one of those.

Great points Bearforce.

Jerry just blew up again trying to salvage this hospital fire season. What did he expect with spare tires at TE and WRs?
