Following a bye week marked by off-field drama and fan distractions, the Dallas Cowboys had a chance to quiet critics but instead delivered a disappointing 30-24 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. With CB Trevon Diggs sparring with a reporter post-game, QB Dak Prescott throwing two interceptions, and a defense that vanished in the third quarter, reactions flooded in from all sides, and fans had plenty to say about the Cowboys’ struggles. Here’s a look at the top takes.

With the loss to San Francisco, the Cowboys are 3-4 after seven games with a healthy Dak Prescott for the first time since 2018. That year, the Cowboys made a trade for Amari Cooper and finished 10-6 and won the division and a playoff game.

I’m not on the beat anymore, so I can’t say for 100% sure
but this feels, from the outside, about as bad as the vibes have been around the Cowboys since 2015. 2020 was rough, but the distance created by the COVID guidelines limited some of that. this is rough. and it’s Week 8. https://t.co/AtAPS5nb5s

I truly do not understand the playcalling on that last Cowboys drive. You have time, the 2 minute warning…
Insanity

The Cowboys starting Zeke is one of the most laughable things of the year. This team will never be good enough until Jerry Jones is gone

The toxicity of the Dallas Cowboys to go through all of that comeback just to have such a flat actual drive in which they could have gone on to take the lead
I mean, wow

Having to throw an outside vertical route to 5’7 Kavontae Turpin is pretty much a microcosm of the Cowboys as a whole

Let’s fast forward to when Jerry Jones lets McCarthy go and tries to hire Bill Belichick. This Cowboys team reeks.

There’s no doubt that Dak is having one of his worst seasons. But you gotta admit the Joneses did absolutely everything possible to make life hard af on their QB.
