I just want to know how a team can screen pass us to death. The Andy Reid Eagles used to do it to us too and it would drive me bonkers. Rams were running the same plays over and over again

They had the ball for over 36 minutes. The defense was bbbbbaaaaaadddddd. And kellen moore sucks. We've spent plenty on defense we just missed everytime.

Basically all teams are going to have to do is make us Punt once and they can win. The defense looked so bad I am not sure we'll win Time of Possession all season. We are going to have to score every time we have the ball.

Jerry Jones is reaping what he's sowed over the last 20 years.

I've lost hope that he'll figure it out and now I can only hope he'll just quit.

This franchise desperately needs a reset button to clear out all the bad contracts and players that took Jerruh for a ride

Your macro organizational perception is shared by many but the fear is that Junior may be no better.
Lots more losing to come before an entire organizational re structure will take place with what Ive been reassured by Cern here is that Junior's first order of business will be to hire an officially recognized true football man GM.

Bout all I got to cheer ya up.
Hope it helps.

It hasnt helped me, lol :)

Go Cowboys

Another 8-8 team in the making.

The only silver lining in that we haven’t signed “Mr. 3 points In the 2nd half”, to a long term contract

MM should've put Dalton in the 4th quarter and got the W.......3 points for the 40 Million Dollar Scam

You're talking about the best offensive minds in the game. They innovate. We don't

Jerruh wants to win Jerruh's way. He would rather lose his way than win following a trend.

When the league goes 5-wide pass happy he drafts a RB top 5 and we're a run first team

When the league moves to disguise everything they can until the last seconds we line up in base formations on both sides of the ball and try to win our matchups.

Now the league is combining all that and moving to dual-threat QBs and now we're a decade behind

I feel like I've watched the same thing for 2 decades.
It's the hope that hurts so much. I have been knackered all day staying up to watch the game. It sounds bad but I would rather we just get blown out by half time if we are to lose. Over the last year most games seem to have come down to the last drive.

To be fair it has only been one game. I still have hope. There were still some positives to take out of the game last night. It's early days - chin up :flagwave:

We should bring in a tight end (not Jason Witten) and let's go get Earl Thomas.

Goff's average time to throw was 2.69.

Charles Haley, Warren Sapp, Randy White, and Reggie White wouldn't get there.
This. Pass rush wasn't an issue. Thing is, that might be all we have. We'll be fine if we get on a lead like Jim Nantz and Al Michaels mentioned last night. We could be like the Manning Colts where they would go up and have Freeney & Mathis pin their ears and wreck havoc. Can't start slow.

That's how they're built, which is why the conservative game plan last night makes little sense and why I think it's got a lot to do with the fact that it's week 1.

Emotionally, I want to have the same position you do. But I’m not ready to jump ship yet.

Under Garrett the game would have been out of reach by halftime. We were leading at the half.

The defensive pieces are better than years past, but they are not playing as a cohesive unit. The run defense has me concerned. Might need to trade for another fire plug in the middle. IDK yet.

McCarthy will take over play calling soon if we don’t start winning. Kellen Moore still learning on the job.
Cool story!

What would Garrett have done different that the game would have been out of reach by halftime?

What did McCarthy do to keep us in the game?

All joking aside at least we aren't the Eagles. I don't see how they can improve their OLine to a level where it's competent and competition. Surely they don't have room in the cap to bring in more players. I'm more concerned with the Commanders and their front 7.

Same as ever was ..... don't expect changes anytime soon.
Maybe its time to change the management
Don't give up too soon.

This forum has invested a lot of time and energy into the theory that Jason Garrett was the sole problem with this team. Every single time we lost a game this forum told us it was his fault we lost. We even have a list of theories of how he had been sabotaging the offense because he was jealous of Kellen Moore.

Don't throw all that hard work away just yet.
