The Cowboys are heading back into self-scout mode after another ugly prime-time showing, and this time the questions start at the very top. Dallas dropped Week 6 to the Green Bay Packers in a game that looked far more one-sided than the final score indicated, with the offense sputtering, the defense slipping into its familiar mistakes and the overall preparation drawing plenty of heat after 10 days of rest.
That frustration set off former NFL player Breiden Fehoko, who unloaded on Jerry Jones, Stephen Jones and the rest of the Cowboys’ operation in a blistering social-media rant after Sunday’s loss. His target list was broad, but his core message was simple: the organization is broken from the top down.
“Jerry and Stephen Jones don’t know a lick of football and think money buys everything. Yeah, it can buy a nice Highland Park home, Jerry, but not heart or guys who’ll knock a [expletive] head loose.
The Jones family are all micromanagers from grandpa Jerry to his kids. Jerry only wants yes men who’ll say, 'Yes, Daddy, you’re right and everything you say is gospel," Fehoko wrote.
He didn’t stop there. Fehoko also called Brian Schottenheimer “a fraud” and criticized the way the Cowboys are being coached and held accountable.
“Schottenheimer is a fraud; he’s a friend to these guys rather than a grown man with nuts who’ll keep guys accountable. $200 million in contracts on the defensive line alone, and your sack leader is Caleb Downs. Guys are celebrating first downs while down 16 in the 4th quarter.
They hired a defensive coordinator who wears [expletive] Cartier glasses with studs in his ear. Their talent evaluator front office guru is outdated.
You got [expletive] CeeDee smiling, hugging opposing team DBs in the fourth quarter. This [expletive] is pathetic.
These draft classes have stunk. They’ve maybe hit on six players since 2019.
Jerry is an oil man; remember that. He’s a business guy before a football guy.”
Fehoko followed with another rant aimed at Schottenheimer’s relationship with players, saying the coach is too much of a buddy and not enough of a boss.
“I grew up in an era where a Coach was a Coach and players played. There was no 'friend, homie' peer to peer bullsh*t," he added. "If you can go have drinks partying with your players, you can’t expect these players to take you serious when you try to keep em accountable."
He kept pressing the same theme a moment later.
"The Cowboys are a result of Brian Schottenheimer being a friend to these cats instead of a coach. This culture on the field stinks.
They celebrate first downs down 16 in the 4th. It’s a bunch of guys wearing chains while playing.
Late hits after the whistle wannabe UFC fighters."
Fehoko’s delivery was over the top, but the larger critique around the Cowboys’ front office and culture is hardly new. The bigger issue now is whether the latest loss forces a real shift in how the team is being run and coached.
Schottenheimer’s seat is getting hotter, and the conversation inside the building has to turn serious after this latest disappointment. The Cowboys do have an old-school voice in the building in Mike Pettine, and it will be worth watching whether Jerry Jones becomes more willing to make a move. The last time Dallas made a mid-season coaching change came after an embarrassing loss to the Packers, and the reminder still hangs there.

Cowboys Face A George Pickens Decision That Could Shape Their Season
George Pickens has quickly become one of the biggest decisions sitting in front of the Cowboys as they try to steady a season that has already gotten away from them at 2-4. He is on the franchise tag in 2026, and while he wants a long-term deal, Dallas has not pushed an extension forward, leaving the front office to balance present-day production against a future that could get messy fast.
For a team still trying to keep its season alive, the temptation is obvious: hold onto a talent like Pickens and hope he helps fuel a turnaround. But if no agreement comes together, the Cowboys also have to reckon with the possibility of losing him in free agency without getting anything back, which is why his name is already surfacing in trade talk before the deadline even arrives.

Dak Prescott's Rough Stretch Is Becoming A Real Cowboys Problem
Two weeks into the 2026 season, Dak Prescotts slump is becoming more than a bad run of games for the Cowboys, it is starting to shape the way their season is being discussed. The veteran quarterback has struggled to match his usual standard, and the latest warning sign came against Green Bay, where his decision-making and execution broke down under pressure and the offense never found a rhythm.
For a Dallas team still hanging around in the NFC East despite a 2-4 record, that puts even more weight on Prescott finding his footing quickly. The Cowboys do not have the luxury of waiting long for clean drives and steadier throws, especially with the defense doing enough to keep games within reach. The concern now is not just one poor outing, but whether this stretch has turned into a real problem for a team trying to stay in the division race. [Read more 🡒]
Cowboys Finally Showed Defensive Life After The Micah Parsons Trade
The Cowboys did not leave Green Bay with a win in Week 6, but they did leave with a little more defensive life than they had shown in recent weeks. Against Micah Parsons and his new Packers teammates, Dallas managed three sacks, its best pass-rush output in some time, and for a defense that had been searching for any sign of a reset, that mattered.
Micah Parsons presence on the other sideline gave the game an extra layer, but the bigger takeaway for Dallas was the way the front began to look more active and disruptive. Even in defeat, the pass rush offered a glimpse of what this defense might still be able to become after a rocky stretch, which is at least something for the Cowboys to carry into the next part of the schedule.
