It is the musers, the podcast, Cowboys edition, the football friends, George Dunham, Bob Sturm with you for another week and we'll have some interesting conversations for sure. What went wrong in Denver? What could go wrong against Arizona? What went right in that magical season of 1975? And maybe even some solutions from two football friends, Bob and George. And Bob, you said it last week. Okay, show me something on the road. And this team just outside of the first half against Philadelphia, offensively, in the second half against Philly, defensively, they basically roll over and play dead on the road, don't they?

Yeah, we'd like to thank the jets for at least crossing that trend up slightly. But yeah, I mean, you know, we're at the point of the year and it's starting to get a little cool outside Georgie and fire tables back in play and just all the things we like, unfortunately, along with Halloween and the World Series and all the things that happened specifically this week, we also have to sort of look reality in the face. We have to sort of come to terms with. It's not early anymore and it's trade deadline time. It is. We, we have enough film, we have enough data, we have enough home and road splits, we have enough good and bad opponent splits that the truth and the reality is setting in defense, we kind of stink.

We stinks, sucks. We stink. Rat crap. Whatever you want to throw out there, it's so bad. So bad. And there are a few things on offense which, number one, even if you have a good offense, it's not like Madden and every week you're not going to score 40 points, that just doesn't happen. I'm still not that worried about the offense. I have some, I think some talking points about the offense that I think are interesting. But yeah, it's about a defense. You, you can't play in this league with one hand tied behind your back. And that's what the Cowboys are trying to do right now. Like Hank Stram used to say, throwing popcorn at a battleship. I mean, it's just, it's awful what they're doing defensively. And just as we thought, okay, maybe it's rounding into shape. Maybe it's getting a little bit better after the Washington game. That's a Washington team that has a lot of offensive issues right now. They got to get their quarterback back on the field. You saw what Terry McLaurin can mean when he played against Kansas City. Heck, at least they could throw it. He made some incredible receptions in that game against the Chiefs. But they still got whacked by 21 points. So that was a. That was a false flag. That was a mirage, whatever you want to call it. And they've still got problems and leaks on this defense that. But here's my. This is my problem with it. I still think there's enough on this defense that if you could just do a few things, just a few things each game, I think it could be passable.
