Prevent defense (and offense, as is the case here) only prevents winning. I hate the passive mentality. It'll ruin confidence and fast.
Gmen were stacking middle to stuff the run and get to Dobbs who was feeling the pressure - we got away an interception or two - I wish we had fed Conner more and gotten more creative with the playcall because we knew they were coming - but the shiny one chose to keep it short and basic

A change of pace back with speed would have helped tremendously also.

I think they keyed in on it we we brought others in who couldn't pass block as well. They just had our number at the end - same with Washington

Nobody is putting him the conversation with those guys. What is absurd is to think QBR is suddenly broken because it doesn't agree with your narrative.

What happened the 2nd half wasn't on him. It's not as if he was out there throwing ducks.

And nobody said he was a "replacement level NFL QB" they said variations of he was garbage, certainly not you. Your own words,

"No one has pretended that Dobbs is anything more than a NFL scrub other than those who defended the trade for Dobbs."

"Dobbs is a scrub. He looked like a scrub."

"Dobbs doesn't make sense period"

Just some of the many words you have to say about him and the trade. And one of those was in response to @Zeem_Freeze saying "He's only been here 13 days, maybe give him some time?"
Dobbs is still a scrub despite one good half of football. Scrubs are replacement level players. You can find equitable level player on waiver wires or on practice squads.

And I guess I misinterpreted your sharing of a tweet that referenced those other QBs as some sort of measurable of success.

As far as the loss not being on Dobbs. When you can't move the ball in four drives to enable your offense to kick a FG to win a game vs one of the worst teams in football, that is on you. That is what happens when the pressure is on.

like I mentioned during the game especially first half when the Oline was getting some nice run lanes for Conner. But Conner will get you 15 and a speed back could get you 50. This team is so slow at RB spot. I hope it’s addressed next year.

The road fan to home fan ratio is probably going to be one of the worst since we moved from Sun Devil Stadium. Dallas' defense looks absolutely ferocious, but I think their offense is "meh".

The pounding our offense is likely to take and that it will feel like a road game for the players, it will make for a really rough one.

I think the Cowboys will be up 3 scores at the half and probably win by a similar margin, something like 13-31.

Would not be shocked to get a Tune sighting in the 4th.
So far the Dallas offense has impressed me. They played better than expected in the rain against the giants, particularly prescott who for once did not have a terrible game in the rain. He also started 13-13 against the jets which was better than expected and with 2 key starters missing on offense. Most analysts predicted a defensive battle vs the jets but the cowboys offense dominated the jets defense with moving the chains and time of possession. They did have a few red zone misses. Most importantly 0 turnovers. If the cowboys offense continues to play that way they will be a bit less flashy than they have been in the past, but it should lead to better results than what they have had especially with keeping their defense rested.
