After watching parts of the last 2 games I don't think the cowboys should be favored to beat anyone. We no longer have a number 1 receiever. I was in denial about Dez. Time to draft his replacement.

We are 5-7 over our last 12 games counting the playoffs. Sure one of them we played Sanchez for a half. Hopefully we catch the Charger team on one of their bad weeks.

Still a lot of football left to be played, but it's really hard to care about the rest of this season because of the atrocity of the Zeke suspension. And the Tyron Smith, Bailey, and Lee injuries couldn't have came at a worse time.

See, I think that is the biggest problem. With Zeke and Tyron out, two things happen...There is much less time to throw, and there's one less person needed to stop the run. Teams are saying, alright, no Zeke, we are gonna give extra attention to Beasley and Witten...that's it. Our two outside receivers, all the can run effectively are go routes. Neither of them run crossing routes. Most of the time, Dez doesn't even run routes, he just breaks off and drifts. If you think back to all the incompletions to Dez, do you know what the common theme is? He is never doubled. He's out there against one guy, he can't get separation, and he doesn't come up with 50-50 balls anymore. Can you imagine the numbers a Julio Jones or OBJ put up on us if we manned them up? At least when Tyron is healthy and Dak has time, the defense had to keep a safety over the top...take away the go route because of a lack of time and Dez offers nothing.

You also have to fault Dak on some of those. Romo had a better connection with Dez.

Romo also had a better connect percentage with the other team. Dak isn't the QB Romo was in year 10, but Romo was pretty bone headed the first few years, let's not pretend he was Dan Marino. I do blame Dak for part of what's going on, but Dez makes 30 times what Dak does this year. Let me say that again...30X....

I don't understand all the "But Romo Would've" crap.
Romo is retired, he's not walking through that door.

Dez has not been the same receiver to years running. I have said this before, the defender is always all over him after the catch with zero separation. First 3 years he was impossible to take down and now he rarely breaks a tackle.

His yards after the catch I'm sure are way down.

100%

Look around the league, how many teams have no prayer of going anywhere because they have a sub par QB.
We have could have been suffering for years looking for out next franchise QB. And the way this team has handled the Romo replacement situation over the years we deserve to.

With these injuries, Dak is the last guy my finger would be pointing at.

Dan Bailey - K - Cowboys
Dan Bailey (groin) expects to play Week 12 against the Chargers.

"Hopefully I'll be back out there," he said. "I had a good week in practice last week, obviously kicked before the game Sunday just to get the work in, so I’m feeling pretty good." Bailey has been out since injuring his groin in Week 8. Mike Nugent has converted 7-of-9 field goals during his absence.

Tyron Smith - T - Cowboys
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith (groin) is practicing Tuesday.

Owners Jerry Jones said Smith has a chance to play on Thursday, and he looks on track after getting in work each of the first two days of practice. Smith returning would be a huge boost for the entire offense.

Sean Lee - LB - Cowboys
Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said WLB Sean Lee (hamstring) will not play on Thanksgiving.

It is not a surprise with Lee expected to miss at least two more games. In better news, MLB Anthony Hitchens (groin) is expected to play on Thanksgiving.

a little more updated

Tyron Smith - T - Cowboys
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith (groin, questionable) is expected to play Thursday against the Chargers.

Despite a questionable tag, Smith always seemed likely to return following a limited week of practice. His presence is a massive upgrade for the entire offense and a downgrade for the Chargers DST.

Cowboys have two kickers on the active roster. I picked up Bailey for FF but I'm afraid to use him.
