Can Cowboys Make Major Changes Amid Embarrassing Report Card For Loss At Packers?

The Dallas Cowboys were left beaten and bloodied on the Lambeau Field turf in a 23-13 loss on Sunday night as the chorus for big changes from Cowboys Nation is now deafening.

The defense was again poor in all phases, despite getting a couple of sacks and their first interception, but the big storyline of the night is the offense looking completely void of answers.

Dak Prescott threw two interceptions, and the run game was forgotten by Brian Schottenheimer as his play-calling is now in serious question.

The defense did show signs of life, but it goes back to this GOTI offense that looks completely lost, as the Packers dismantled them in every facet.

So, you want "major changes''? What's left outside of firing second-year boss Schottenheimer?

Prior to the game, we highlighted five things Dallas had to do in order to win.

Let's see how they did.

1 - GOTI has to handle the blitz: F 

It used to be Dak's superpower, but in the last two weeks, he's gotten shown up in a big way.

Every person on the planet knew Jonathan Gannon would heat Prescott up, and he did just that, with Dak either running for his life or getting lit up and getting roughing the passer calls.

A dirty, dirty night all around for Dallas, and yeah, I don't want to ever hear the word GOTI again in 2026.

2 - Defense has to stop the stoppable run: Grade A

It is going to get lost in the wash simply because it didn't matter, but the Cowboys did stop the run. It was just that the defense couldn't stop the pass, which we said might happen.

Several good run stops saw the Packers rush for just 58 yards on the night, but again, it didn't matter because the secondary was torched...again.

3 - Secondary has to lock down 3 challenges: Grade F

Every person on the planet knew that the only way Green Bay could win was through the air, and we highlighted Matthew Golden, Christian Watson, and Tucker Kraft as the three to watch.

But it appears Dallas didn't think it needed to.

Golden ended his night with 104 yards and a TD, with gains of 37 and 20; Watson finished with 64 yards and catches of 27 and 28; and Kraft had a nice gain on a fourth-down call, adding to his 37 yards.

Oh, and Golden dropped two passes in the endzone that would have been touchdowns, and Watson had one.

Another brutal game for the secondary in a game where they knew what was coming, but were powerless to stop it.

4 - Get Javonte rolling: Grade F

Did the Cowboys forget Javonte travelled with the team to Lambeau? 

Because he was hardly used. He had just 21 yards on six carries in the first half, and he ended with 41 yards on 11 carries.

Schottenheimer stated earlier in the week that Dallas needed to get the run game going, but apparently he forgot.

This offense might be a little broken, folks.

5 - Red-zone dominance: Grade F

The Cowboys were 2 of 4 in the red zone, Green Bay as well, but Dak threw an interception in the red zone in the first quarter.

Dallas barely got into the red zone when it mattered, and when they did, they failed.

I'm not sure what has gone of in the last two weeks, but this once high-octane offense that was fun to watch, now suddenly looks predictable and flat. ... and the Cowboys have dipped to a dismal 2-4.
