"Things are not going well for the Dallas Cowboys. After eight games, the team has only three wins. Their chances of making the playoffs grow slimmer with each week. Besides their inability to win back-to-back games, they have multiple things working against them. For starters, 13 of the 16 NFC teams (81%) also have at least three wins, so it's a packed house when it comes to teams vying for a playoff spot."
"It's becoming clearer that there is no great savior out there. The defense's problems won't be remedied by one player, and the best thing for them to do is to save that draft capital and look for their solutions next year. Plus, in a week, we learned that the Raiders have no desire to trade Maxx Crosby. We also watched the defense get torched by the Broncos' offense."
The Dallas Cowboys sit at 3-5 after eight games, making a playoff berth increasingly unlikely. Thirteen of the 16 NFC teams have at least three wins, creating heavy competition for limited playoff spots. The team faces a brutal late-November/early-December stretch against the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and Chargers, all teams with strong offenses likely to exploit defensive weaknesses. Fan discussion considered trading for a difference-making defender, but no single addition will cure systemic defensive problems and the Raiders showed no interest in trading Maxx Crosby. The defense was recently torched by the Broncos while the offense sputtered, prompting the need for a new plan focused on fixing the defense and maximizing current quarterback play.
