Stubbornly sticking to what isn't working is one of the many reasons why you are 4-8.

No points = No wins. It really is that simple.
Holding the 49ers to 13 in most matchups would seal a win. But because we couldn't put points up with the anemic offense and turning the ball over, the pundits are now crowing about how great the 9ers D is!

There was a legitimate reason why the Cowboys moved on from Andy Dalton a couple of seasons ago.

I think Andy Dalton is a decent backup quarterback who can win games for a short period of time with a healthy team around him. He is not a starting quarterback anymore and for us to pin our hopes on him was a bit of a stretch.

Lol,

Rugs Andy had Zeke, Pollard, Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup while up this way in Arlington yet still went 4-5 as a starter.

I won’t be mad if he doesn’t return in 2023.

I agree with this completely.

Well the Falcons LOST today.

Big picture, IF the Saints can find a way to defeat the Bucs on Monday, they are TIED for the NFC South.

You gotta find a way to defeat Brady on Monday.

The Bucs losing Wirfs last week was a big blow. He was the last piece of their diminished offensive line that could be counted on to attempt to give Brady time.

I hate to jump ahead with this team but IF you can somehow put together a few wins (starting on tomorrow night), that Philly trade won't look so bad.

I honestly don’t think It is bad either way. We got the likely OROY WR for that pick. Getting a potential cornerstone player is always a good trade.

I agree!

So many people expect "next year's pick" to always be the better pick. We picked up two players that could be cornerstones of the offense for many years to come in this year's first round. You are more likely than not to get a disappointment taking a QB in the first round. That's a fact.
