After an offseason filled with high hopes, big expectations, and bold statements, the team has been struggling to live up to the hype. While the defense has largely remained a strong suit, led by standout players like Micah Parsons, the offense has faced significant challenges. Quarterback Dak Prescott, often the subject of scrutiny, has been inconsistent, with turnovers continuing to be a major concern. Prescott’s decision-making has been questioned, and the team’s inability to execute when it matters most has left fans frustrated.
The Cowboys’ offensive line, which has been a hallmark of their success in past years, is showing signs of decline. Injuries and lack of depth have plagued the unit, putting extra pressure on the offense. The running game, once a staple of the Cowboys’ attack with Ezekiel Elliott, hasn’t been able to find its rhythm. Tony Pollard, now the primary back, is still adjusting to his new role and hasn’t been able to break out in the way the team hoped.
Special teams, too, have been a point of concern, with missed kicks and lackluster returns further compounding the team’s struggles. When combined with missed opportunities in critical moments and the inability to close out games, the Cowboys find themselves on a frustrating downward spiral that is difficult to reverse.
The team’s Super Bowl aspirations feel distant at this point, and with each loss, the pressure on head coach Mike McCarthy continues to grow. The window for success is closing, and unless the Cowboys can right the ship, their championship hopes might be another season away—or worse, another season lost.
