Welp, Dallas got a little help with the lions losing today. Now we just need to beat Seattle and Philly and hope Atlanta loses it's last game next week.

Man, Dez has been dropping so many balls this season and several have lead to interceptions, he definitely isn't an elite WR and hasn't been for several years.

Cowboys need to get rid of DEZ.

They need to get rid of the entire coaching staff and Jerry Jones too.

Agree, the calling has been unacceptable.

Anyway, Dallas wouldn't have gone anywhere in the playoffs anyway. Would have been one and done. Jason Garret and the OC and DC need to be fired. Our defense has sucked, our offense sucks, Dez sucks, Witten and Beasley are our only good receiving target and Jason is freaking 34 years old. Oh and Beasley who is always open but Dak always misses him; OH and don't forget how Dallas just decided to pass on 1st and goal when you have freaking Ezekiel Elliot.

Edit: Jason is so desperate that he's throwing the challenge flag on a play that's clearly past the 1st down marker.

I'm sorry, but DAK needs to go too. He isn't consistent. He reminds me of RG3 so much. Good first year, terrible/mediocre second year. The more teams get a read on him, the worse he is going to get.

Oh I agree, I knew Dak wouldn't be a good QB despite the good freshman year. I just refrain from saying that because a lot of people seem to think Dak is the next coming of Russel Wilson. 

...and...who exactly are you planning to replace all those people with?

Dez had 63 receptions for 771 yards this season. He hasn't finished with less than 700 yards in any season where he's played 10 or more games since his rookie year in 2010. You'd be throwing away a guy that averages like 900 yards a season when healthy. That's a lot of production to suddenly make up for. Where exactly are you planning to find another receiver that can step in and start producing at that level? The top free agent WR prospect is Terrelle Pryor, followed by Mike Wallace and Sammy Watkins. None of those three have outperformed Dez this year. You can always try the draft, but your top prospects there are Calvin Ridley and Courtland Sutton; good players at the college level, but not exactly lighting the world on fire. Plus, if Dak is really as bad as you say he is, throwing them in at the NFL with a bad QB and them expected to take over as the #1 receiver is just going to destroy their confidence.

Who are you planning on replacing Jason Garrett with if you fire him? Top coaching candidate right now is Josh McDaniels; ask Ludicrous Speed about how his head coaching stint in Denver went. Beyond that, there's Jon Gruden, who by the time the 2018 season rolls around will not have coached for 10 years, and Jim Harbaugh, who is struggling at the college level, so, take your pick if any of those excite you.

Finally, Dak. Again, where the hell do you plan on getting a better QB? Look at the QBs available in free agency. Kirk Cousins, widely regarded as the top prize now that Jimmy Garoppolo is in San Francisco, is finishing up a $109 million contract, making roughly $27 million per year. You guys have less than a third of that in cap room, and getting rid of Dak doesn't help much because he's on a rookie contract. Even if you could trade Dez away and get the other team to eat his entire cap hit (unlikely), you'd still come up about $7 million short. And that's just for his current contract; you can bet given how NFL GM's stampede over each other to lock up any FA QB with the slightest inkling of potential (see Brock Osweiler for more details) that he'll get offered even more from some QB desperate team like Denver or Arizona. You can always try your hand at Sam Bradford or Josh McCown, or see if you can pull Jay Cutler back from retirement for one more year...but chances are they're even worse than you make Dak out to be. Again, you can go for the draft, but considering that you're quite literally ready to dump a second year QB because he didn't make the playoffs in both his first and second year, you'd probably be ready to throw out Josh Allen or whoever else is still available by mid-late first round in a couple of years.

And Dak didn't even play that badly this season; 63% completion, 21-11 TDs, 89.6 QB rating. That's pretty good for a second year QB on a team that was missing its best weapon for six games. Half the league would kill to have a QB that competent, and he's just wrapping up his sophomore year. Fuck, imagine if the Patriots had kicked Tom Brady to the curb after he had a slightly underwhelming 2002 and his team missed the playoffs.

You guys seriously need to calm down. Losing is frustrating, but if the Cleveland Browns have taught us anything, it's that you don't fix your franchise by rebooting it every couple of years and bringing in new players/staff. Look for some FAs in positions that you're actually weak in compared to the rest of the league, and give Dak some time to grow. Also, RG3's second year (and career) were destroyed by injuries, not just suddenly playing badly. Before the end of his first season, he had torn his LCL, ACL, and Meniscus. These are entirely different situations.

I will, however, support getting rid of Jerry Jones.

Well as long as no one changes their picks and gets it right I will keep 3rd place even with my wrongly picked upset pick of DEN>WAS. In hindsight the SEA/DAL game was more of a tossup than that game. But still some other surprising upsets like a competent 49ers.

Still tempted to pick HOU so that I can guarantee something going right tomorrow.
