-Disappointing, somewhat embarrassing loss today.
-Losing both our starting tackles was such a huge blow, especially against this opponent. Both Knight and Steele were never expected to take one snap this season, not play in multiple games. No team is going to be successful playing their #5/#6 Tackles which these two are. Washington dominated the trenches once again.
-Bad coaching throughout the game, going for it twice in our zone (1 fake punt) tells me they don't trust the defense what so ever. Why is the world does Moore not give Zeke the football in short conversions, say what you want about Zeke's poor season, but he is the best option to gain a yard to move the sticks.
-Thought Andy Dalton played well, he did hold onto the football too long at times, but he also made a few key conversions with his legs. Lamb was apart of two huge unfavorable plays, first he was mugged on 4th down where no penalty occurred, the TD drop was disasterous on a great pass from Dalton.
-Where do I start about the defense. Will do it differently: Lawrence, Gregory, Aldon, Lve, A. Woods, Wilson, all flash throughout a game, the rest of the defense is complete garbage. Why in the world is Awuzie playing 10 yards back in off coverage? X Woods watches plays, but never reacts to them. How many times do we need to see Jaylon guess the wrong gaps and vacate the one he is suppose to be in. The defense biggest strength is their pass rush, but we never see it cause teams are always 3rd and short cause they either cannot stop the run or give up too many underneath passes.
-Fassell has to stop this madness in our own end, defense just isn't good enough to stop anyone in a short-field.
We all had high hopes for the season for this Cowboy Team. Having so many injuries up front has killed this offense, along with Zeke having his career worst season. We all knew this offense had to light up the scoreboard to have any chance for success as the defense was in transition and it will take time to rebuild the unit.
