They also said the defensive linemen's stances gave away the defenses.

We've been hearing for years how predictable the offense is, now after that playoff loss, we hear that the defense is giving away their intentions.

maybe time for new coaches?

Yep, they claimed by hand placement and alignment they could tell where we were going to run stunts, etc.

Rams exploited that.

Rams ran ragged on that one gap scheme in the playoffs

That scheme was the 5th best rushing defense in the NFL last year.

The Rams didn't run on the scheme, they ran on two DTs that were playing through injuries that would have kept them off the field if we had any depth or if the game was in the regular season.

Its no surprise they drafted Hill and signed Covington and Hyder.

The Rams did what they did to everybody between the 20s last year. We were talking about it even before the game.

Be sure to tell that to the Rams players and set them straight. Specifically the ones that said that they "knew what the Cowboys were going to do 90% of the time."

The D-Line was simply outplayed by the Rams' offensive line.......................No more of these lame excuses.

And we've all been witness to the inability of the Garrett coaching staff to make proper in-game and halftime adjustments.........................

The Rams like the Colts attacked the 2nd level with their OL. Both games the defense did not adjust and ultimately got their butts handed to them.
I think the colts game was more of an issue with the offense though, first shutout in nearly 2 decades, add that to our offensive accolades.

Dallas was gashed in 2 games out of 18 give me a break. They ranked 5th in run defense and 7th overall and 6th in points allowed. I make no excuses for the Rams or Colts game but I will not diminish the overall great job they did on this past season. I swear this sight people will only focus on negative and blow off the good this team did. I think this defense will improve on last season but don't kid yourself this was one of the better defenses in the NFL

Mack was a great character in that movie...." On third and long...kill everyone." Hahaha. I liked the reference.
