Chill out

[DZSierra]

There are 4 quarters to a game, and at least 17 games for a full season.

First game of the year, 16 more to go.

I've read all the pre season hype on this board before the game last night, and many of the fans here we're already crowning the Cowboys our division champs, and I'm just scratching my head on how people get so hyped up over preseason games.

Here is the reality IMO. Our head coach is one the least paid head NFL head coach in the league. There is a reason for that. Christian Parker is not Jesus Christ, and can not work miracles overnight, and although we have gotten some new guys on the team, our defense was last in the league last year for a reason. First Parker is the greatest thing since sliced bread, and now some want him fired after ONE game LOL

The added reality is the cowboys could crush the commies next week, and the bi polar disorder will continue with this fanbase on this forum. All will be forgiven until the next loss.

Flame away....

I dont need Christian Parker to be the Messiah

I need him to adjust….theres no way youre playing deep zones ALL NIGHT and giving up ALL under stuff

Bring the guys up, press and if they get beat deep so what ….

I dont expect a top ten unit, i expect an aveage unit between 15-17 this year and hopefully he learns

Completely agree.

The game wasn't fun to watch overall.

The question is will Parker be able to make the adjustments after seeing his first real game as the DC?

My only point is you can't foresee how the entire season is going to play out after the first game of the season.

The irony here is I consider myself more of a realist than either a optimist or pessimist, which could be construed as being a pessimist anyways here because I don't buy into the preseason hype.

The second half was a little bit better, coverage in the first,
Battle of turnovers, we had opportunities. The ball didn’t bounce our way.
Caleb Downs, he destroyed Dart
We got the ball once out of five times giant putting it on the ground
We only had the ball twice on offense in the second half when we scored two touchdowns
They just ran the clock down
And we couldn’t do anything about it

I hear you. BUT we are skeptical due to the culture. While the players come and go, the coaches come and go over the last 31 years, the 1 constant seems to be the Joneses and the afore mentioned culture of no discipline. The mustard came off the hotdog last night. Arm tackles, showboating, blatant fouls, blown coverages repeatedly, and looked not ready to play the opponent. I saw this coming and even as a fan I knew we had to approach this game seriously. We didn't, so we got what we deserved. I was embarrassed.

Well said.

We got out muscled all the way around.

Agree. CP got out-coached...... badly. It was so bad that I wonder if he is capable of calling the defense.

Flus had to be laughing his *** off somewhere last night lol

 

[Saltycowboy]

Chill, so we should react that this is the exact same team we have been forever?

What really bothered me the most, we forced four fumbles
The ball just didn’t bounce our way
And we scored on both possessions, in the second half
Imagine we only got the ball twice in the second half

 

[jazzcat22]

We got our butts handed to us in / on a toilet bowl platter.

The loss could be a wake up call in a way.
The key is how do they handle it moving forward.

 

[Whirlwin]

It’s a long season, but we have a long way to go, it could be a horror show
How many first round picks do we have next year lol

Yes
And yet we still had opportunities
It was comical how wide open their receivers were
We couldn’t stop the outside run

Caleb, Downs, destroyed DART lol
I enjoyed that
We forced four fumbles and dropped two interceptions
I only had the ball twice in the second half and scored on both possessions
But they were definitely overwhelming negative compared to some positive

 

[jazzcat22]

I only posted a few things after the loss. I did not want to react to too many posts as I knew everyone posting on emotions. Or most anyway.

I wanted to wake up and have a clear head to reflect upon the painful night.
I did sleep well. It did not make me toss and turn. So will spend time throughout the day trying to catch up on it all.

Not very many picks at all.

we could not get a stop. I told zoners leading up to this game they would ball control us. They did and we never adjusted. I felt we needed to spread them out and go up tempo to beat them and we tried to bully them instead. We fell into their trap.

We did a decent job in the middle, against the run, on defense
I don’t know what happened to the outside linebackers, nonexistent

Agreed

There are no “wake up calls” with these guys. Not as long as JJ “Sleepwalker in chief” or his family own this team. Expect no meaningful changes until this family sells the team…..which I am not expecting in this lifetime.

All the glory is 30+ years in the past. I hate to serve up a whole ugly dish of reality, but there are many on here who STILL fall for Jones P.T. Barnum act. Not me.
