Somehow, someway, the got steamed before Monday Night Football, inexplicably closing as a favorite over the , before promptly losing 38-10 in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the score indicates. Things were already bad for the Cowboys, with getting knocked out for the season last week in a lo s.But it's worse than it looks and it's worse than you think. The offense is broken, despite Dallas spending hundreds of millions of dollars on that side of the ball. This year is an obvious problem, mainly because is a capable backup, but one who folds when heavily pre sured. And unfortunately for the Cowboys, they can't stop anyone from pre suring Dalton right now. Aron Baynes Jersey The offensive line, once the best in football, is a shell of itself right now with injuries to multiple players, including a concu sion suffered by on Monday night.The Cowboys have fantastic weapons in , and . But weapons don't matter with Dalton if he doesn't have time to pa s. And there's a zero point zero percent chance of the Cowboys stopping anyone on defense. They were better for a hot minute against the Cardinals, but eventually people were just running free. And with Washington, Philly and Pittsburgh on deck in the next three weeks, Dalton and Co. could be in some serious trouble.Long-term, Dallas should be petrified about what happens to this team. The Cowboys paid (now fumbling on over three percent of his carries) and (an incredible story but unable to handle spy duties on Monday) while letting (looking pretty good in Miami) and Dak Prescott go unpaid. Prescott's importance has never been more emphasized than on Monday night. Dalton wasn't the reason the Cowboys lost, but he also wasn't elevating the Dallas offense. Prescott's performance early in games was questionable too, but it's pretty clear mi sing him is going to cause even bigger problems for Dallas' offense.Making matters worse is the need to pay him. Can the Jones family justify not giving him $40 million per year now, once seeing how bad the offense looks without him? No chance. The Cowboys have to -- and will, as CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported on Sunday -- tag Prescott.Prescott is going to be on a tag, without a guarantee for a long Matt Thomas Jersey -term deal, Elliott is a ma sive salary-cap weight, the defense will need every single defensive pick to pan out in order to find any succe s on that side of the ball. They've allowed 14 pa sing touchdowns and 10 rushing touchdowns through six games, the first team to do it since the in 2005 ... . This doesn't even bring into account the concern about Mike McCarthy. The former Super Bowl winner was supposed to embrace analytics as he took over the Cowboys, but it's very clear he's the same coach he was before. Kicking a 58-yard field goal down 25 points? Yikes. I get you want to make it three scores, but it basically told the Cowboys they were quitting.Prescott being absent this year and the NFC East being winnable with four victories will probably cause Jerry Jones to keep the status quo going, but there's a lot of reasons to be worried about the Cowboys long term.Are the Bucs the new 49ers?I only mean that in the sense of they're a breakout defensive team with an impre sive offense that just curb-stomped the . Green Bay flat-out quit on Sunday afternoon. At one point plunged into the end zone for a second-half touchdown and there were multiple Packers defenders just milling around. Green Bay didn't try to score in the second half and didn Hakeem Olajuwon Jersey 't try to come back. They quit. And it felt identical to those games against the 49ers last year. So my concern here -- despite saying this could be a good lo s for Green Bay -- is the Bucs realizing they can punch the Packers in the mouth and get them to quit. Tampa's run defense was a concern coming into this game with going down for the season. They answered the bell in a big way. and are the next great linebacker duo. Todd Bowles is dialing up really impre sive game plans every week and deserves consideration again as a head coach after this performance (he was secretly good with the too, it was just a terrible spot).Matt LaFleur said following the game that left tackle dodged a serious injury and that's a BIG win for the Packers. If he was lost for the year or mi sed serious time, the Packers rushing attack could fall off a cliff. Rodgers had been kept clean most of the year so far, but he was under siege against the Bucs and he just didn't have time to get throws off. There's no excuse here either, with back for this game.Rodgers doesn't throw pick sixes. He just doesn't do it. But he threw one on Sunday, and ended up with a pair of picks. It could have been worse. He finished 16-of-35 for 160 yards on the day. I don't think the Packers are fraudulent or anything like that. They have a consistent offense and a decent enough defense. Rodgers is playing really well. But I do think there's cause for concern here -- Patrick McCaw Jersey what if the Bucs are this year's 49ers and Green Bay just can't get through them? That will be a problem in the playoffs.Cousins in danger?The ' season is slipping away from them pretty quickly -- they're staring up not just at the 5-1 and 4-1 Packers, but the 2-3 as well. The climb to the playoffs would be a long one from this point. Minnesota would need to magically flip the switch and start playing well, Marc Gasol Jersey but the quarterback admitted after an ugly lo s to Atlanta .This is a stunning turn of events for a quarterback who previously just didn't throw interceptions. Cousins is throwing them in spades, having coughed up a league-leading 10 picks and an interception rate north of 5 percent, which is wildly out of character. Using PFR's Stathead database, I filtered for players in the last 20 seasons (including this year) with sufficient playing time (10 games played and 200 pa sing attempts) who managed to record a interception rate of five percent or higher in the last 20 years. Here are those quarterbacks:QBYearAgeInterceptionsINT%200923205.49200921205.31Jake Delhomme200934185.19200921186.21Brett Favre201041195.31201539175.14Kirk Cousins202032105.7Some pretty good names on there! Unfortunately the seasons for those players weren't exactly great. That's the rookie year for Mark Sanchez and Matthew Stafford. Jake Delhomme was cut by the after 2009. Brett Favre and Peyton Manning retired following their disaster seasons.So we're talking about rookie quarterbacks thrown into the fire or washed up old men. As you can see, Cousins is not one of those things right now. He's a veteran on his second team in his third year with the Vikings. He shouldn't be falling off a cliff like this all of a sudden. If he doesn't magically find a way to flip things around, the Vikings are toast.
