‘I’m about to burn my jersey.’ Cowboys fans shred Dak, Garrett in shutout loss to Indy

The Cowboys are no longer the hottest team in the NFL.

Since a morbid 28-14 home loss to the Titans on Nov. 5, owner Jerry Jerry Jones had seen his team win five straight entering Sunday.

Dallas had earned huge wins over conference opponents like the Eagles (twice), Falcons and Saints, but Jones, along with the rest of the organization and its fans, will need to wait a little bit longer for that NFC East title.

The Cowboys suffered an ugly 23-0 blowout loss to the Colts Sunday in Indianapolis.

It has been a little while, but fans once again unleashed their collective fury on coach Jason Garrett and quarterback Dak Prescott.

Embarrassing half of football. Is this what we can expect come playoff time? Defense can’t tackle. Offense making the dumbest decisions. @dak is throwing up on himself

I swear @dak needs to get his head out of his ass. We're dominating time of possession but yet we still haven't been avle to put any points on the board. Come on Dallas this is disappointing.. #DallasCowboys #cowboys #CowboysNation #DALvsIND pic.twitter.com/kNwo8HhrfF

Dak Prescott should be taking notes on how Andrew Luck plays QB!!!

Yeah, and Dak Prescott is an accident waiting to happen.

@dak how could you have taken 50 sacks? You can run? This is so frustrating

If you don’t have a love/hate relationship with dak prescott then you are not a real cowboys fan

@sam_ponder suggested this morning Jason Garrett for coach of the year. I wanted to break my tv. #CowboysNation

Dak Prescott is so average to me

Nothing new about our offense.. @dak needs wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more time to read defenses he is no where near the luck level ... Sorry boys Zeke cannot do everything himself
— Jorge Ramirez (@shreckypo) December 16, 2018

This is why you cant trust a Jason Garrett team. This will always happen
— UncleFucka2017 (@KingDouchebag15) December 16, 2018

I don't even know where to begin with how bad this team played and how BAD Dak Prescott played.

Dallas Cowboys #DakPrescott is the weak link... — feeling annoyed

Jason Garrett’s Halftime speech is like come on guys do your best and everybody gets a trophy.
— Jeff Wheeler (@jwheelerMPHS84) December 16, 2018

@dallascowboys not ready to play today. @dak not ready to play. Pitiful
— BillBWest (@billbobwest) December 16, 2018

Idk what Dak Prescott got going on
— кαє (@krustykae) December 16, 2018

Once again, Jason Garrett’s team is not ready for a clinch game.

Have seen this for too many years...
— Aint Him It’s A Pseudonym (@notmenowwas) December 16, 2018

@dak stop holding the ball so damn long
— mike (@mike08661305) December 16, 2018

@dak did you forget that you’re supposed to make the passes you throw catchable. Dude needs an eye exam or something
— Jimmy (@JimReynolds80) December 16, 2018

Coming out of halftime Kris Richard just has to tell Jason Garrett “I’m the captain now” and just take over the squad.... pic.twitter.com/uc4LcvAo2v

@dak c'mon bro. missing throws, chances to run, and taking sacks. gotta up your game.
— Chubby22 (@DFan4evr22) December 16, 2018

I know the OL is banged up, but Dak Prescott has had plenty of time to make throws or plays with his feet. He’s not a franchise QB but Jerry is going to extend/pay him like one.

Time will tell I think it all comes down to Can Jason Garrett Motivate his team and I think the answer is no
— Jeff Wheeler (@jwheelerMPHS84) December 16, 2018

I’m about to burn my jersey.
— Ryan Crowe (@RyanCrowe4) December 16, 2018

This is the team I watched against Tennessee..where's the team that's taken control of the division?
