"Let's look at management instead. Who do you blame most for the mess we are in? Jerry Jones - The easy answer. He's the ultimate boss, and his decision to trade Micah Parsons undoubtedly weakened the defense right before the season started. So his roster moves hurt his cause, but he ultimately doesn't coach them each week. And the Cowboys have talent on their roster. They should be better than this."
"Matt Eberflus - Let's face it, the root cause of the Cowboys woes is the play of the defense. It has been horrific, and Eberflus was very slow to respond to the problems. It felt like change was forced upon him instead of him embracing it. With the Cowboys offense clicking in most of the games until recently, the defense has put the team in a deep, deep hole."
The Dallas Cowboys fell 27-17 to the Arizona Cardinals and entered the bye week with a 3-5-1 record. Owner Jerry Jones traded for Logan Wilson and Quinnen Williams in an effort to change the season's trajectory. The team faces injuries, inconsistent player performance, and notable management decisions that have weakened the roster. Jones's decision to trade Micah Parsons significantly reduced defensive talent. Defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus reacted slowly to defensive struggles, leaving the defense performing poorly despite a generally effective offense earlier in the season. First-year head coach Brian Schottenheimer faces learning-curve challenges and special teams have been inconsistent outside of kicker Brandon Aubrey. Energetic debate surrounds whether the deadline moves can rescue the season.
