Dallas Cowboys star Dak Prescott isn’t hitting the panic button after the team fell to 3-4 thanks to Sunday’s 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

“We know what it takes in this league. You get hot, you get rolling, that’s all you want to do,” he said. told reporters after the game. “That’s my point, that this is frustrating, but no one is giving up. No one is shocked, as you could say, from where we are right now. We just have to focus, get ready to hit the road and be a good team again to have.” come out and do what we can do to make sure we come out with a win. Then worry about after this next road race.

It’s true that the Cowboys could theoretically go on a long winning streak that will erase any fears they may have created during their disappointing start. However, there isn’t much evidence to suggest this is happening.

Dallas had an extra week to prepare, allowing 469 yards to a 49ers offense missing running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. Wideout Deebo Samuel and tight end George Kittle were playing at less than 100 percent because they both were classified as questionable until game day.

Ezekiel Elliott and Dalvin Cook combined for 46 yards on 16 carries, while Prescott threw two interceptions and averaged 6.4 passing yards on his 38 attempts.

The longer this season goes on, the more you come to an inescapable conclusion about the Cowboys. They are a mediocre team that was passed over by their NFC rivals due to their inactivity this offseason.

Obviously, the Cowboys losing is inconvenient and not ideal.
But it doesn’t even hurt anymore. They ruined that.
This team is so bad that they made caring for them an unnecessary part of all of this.

Cowboys came out of the bye with a solid game plan and a good amount of fighting. And it bought them 2.5 quarters before the wheels fell off
I think this is an indictment on everyone. Coaches. Certainly the performance of the players. And the roster structure by the front office.

Normally, Dallas isn’t shown this way until the postseason. It just happens much earlier this year.

The problem with the Cowboys is that many of the problems they have now were foreseeable.

Making head coach Mike McCarthy a lame duck was an odd decision. An adequate replacement for leading rusher Tony Pollard was not found and now the team has the NFL’s worst rushing attack. The passing game is still way too dependent on CeeDee Lamb. In retrospect, maybe we should have looked more at Dallas with one quite pedestrian area carry out defense.

Maybe it’s time for the Cowboys players to get “shocked” because they need to do something to get out of their funk.
