    The cowboys played like we were the ones with a back up QB. We ran Zeke into a stacked box at least 10 times today. Awful awful awful game planning.

    It would be one thing if Dallas went to NO playing how we played the last 3 weeks: aggressive, attacking down the field, utilizing RPOS/play action, etc. & loss but no. We came in here with a
    Scott Linehan game plan from 2017/2018. Ezekiel Elliot averaged 1.7 yards per rush att. 1.7!!!! We ran him 18 f---ing times & got 35 yards lol. Like...I’m astonished at how this could happen after all the success we had the first 3 weeks passing the ball. This picture sums up this game.

    Peep the success rate for Dallas in rushing vs passing lol.

    I’m so fucken done w/ this guy.... 23 1st down plays last night & we ran with Zeke on 11 of them. Only one of those 11 runs went for 4+ yards. Does he think we’re stupid or something?

    Lol Enigma trying to cover Dak and the cowboys in every way he can. The cowboys lost to a better team with a backup qb. Get over it lol You’re literally sounding like Skip Bayless trying to still defend the cowboys at this point.

    Dak had a QBR of 68.8 (50 is average) last night. That was good enough for the 7th best QBR put up this week. In comparison, Bridgewater had a 22.4 QBR which ranked 23rd best this week. Dak isn’t why we lost last night.

    Who cares what QB we play if we’re running Ezekiel Elliot into a wall of defenders every drive. We’re not averaging 20+ ppg playing like that.

    @Chewie good game. we couldn't get off the field on 3rd down. our offense was shut down all game. And you guys didn't even have Hicks and one of your starting offensive lineman. Bad showing by Vikes. Kirk struggles with ball security but any QB would have fumbled on that Mack forced fumble. The other forced fumble was just typical bad ball security by Kirk. I don't even dislike the Bears honestly. Only team i dislike in our division is green bay

    Chewie are you in Chicago?

    I feel like the Bears might be better with Trubisky out. Not even kidding.

    Yeah f--- Green Bay lol. They’ve been so dominant in our division over the last 30 years or so, how can you not hate them. What are the odds of a team getting back to back hall of fame QBs for Christ sake.

    That was definitely our most impressive win since last year against the Rams. I was worried going into it, and that was before we lost Roquan and Mitch, but our backups played just as well if not better across the board.

    Kirk seems to really struggle against good defenses, still can’t believe y’all paid him 80M, I’m hoping we don’t do something like that with Trubisky just yet... Mack has been at another level this year, if he isn’t getting held he’s getting double/triple teamed and yet still has a sack and FF per game and numerous QB hits. He’s amped up for the raiders game, I’m worried for them.

    And nah, grew up in Chicago, but moved to florida a few years ago

    Chase is a veteran guy who knows Nagy’s offense really well and is comfortable working through the progressions.

    Trubisky is without a doubt the better talent though, he has made throws that most QBs simply can’t make, but he also has a lot of misses and can struggle getting through his progression.

    As of right now, they’re probably about equals, Chase however always holds onto the ball about a half second longer than needed so we’ll see if teams will take advantage of that now that they’re preparing for him. I’m guessing Mitch will be back after our bye and he needs to step up his play this season if he wants to be our franchise QB

    Our defense is even better this year under Pagano than it was last year under fangio. Probably the best it’s been since 1985 and if we were a little more solid at QB and our offensive line we’d be without a doubt the top team in the league. Hopefully Mitch isn’t what holds us back from a ring bc our defense is young and gonna keep us in the conversation for a few seasons.

    No. But everyone saw and is talking about that 48 yard Td pass to Diontae Johnson from Rudolph.

    Steelers ran a wicked wild cat style offense when running the ball. It’ll trick any nfl team in the league. And Rudolph is locked in and ready. And let’s be honest, if the bengals were in the NFC east or AFC east. They would be contenders for the division or wildcard. Our division this year is toughest one in the league. If the Browns didn’t have Chubb, I wouldn’t be worried about them at all.

    Colin Cowherd described Baker Mayfield the best out of anyone I’ve listened to. He said Baker isn’t their “savior” Bakers stats are better when he passes under 25 times a game. He’s not a great athlete, just average. He doesn’t have a big throwing arm, just average. Quit worrying about throwing to Odell downfield out of Baker’s range. And run the ball with Chubb, a top 5 RB. I completely agreed with what he said. But I need to trade Odell in fantasy when Baker can’t land him with big passes that are over 10 yards.

    @dna hits your division isn’t even close to being the toughest this year. The Bengals are winless and the Steelers probably won’t even be in the playoff hunt

    You’re an awful troll, Trent

    Everyone has their own opinion. The Steelers won’t be in the playoff hunt? Lol. Coming from the guy who picked the bengals to beat the Steelers...
    And I still remember right before the season started you and @Enigma were claiming the browns were easily going to the Super Bowl. I haven’t heard anyone riding their band wagon recently lmao
