There is no way you can blame the defense after getting all of those turnovers. Its the offenses job to convert them into points and they didn't. I dont care what you did to get to the redzone, if you dont do anything there, its pointless.

Defense responsibility. Defend the field. We only needed one sack to end the game the last 90 seconds. Same as Dak taking the offense down for the potential winning field goal. Offense responsibility score. They did their part......Defense didn't per as usual....

Another game where we should of. Could of. Would of. IMO nothing has changed. Dak throws for a million. Dak takes us down for the winning drive but unfortunately Dak leaves to much time on the board for the other teams quarterback to score on our pathetic defense. The defense was horrible last night minus the 4 turnovers of which one was an int Hail Mary. I also blame our inept GM. He knew going in we needed a shut down corner. So instead of moving up one spot to get him. We lose him. Same with the Tampa Bay defensive tackle we could of had. Jerry sits there like an idiot and either doesn't take the guy or doesn't get aggressive and move up to get him.

Like I said earlier. The game was really lost in the last drive by the offense. We needed one more first down to keep Brady from facing our pathetic defense. And the last 3 play calls were laughable. How bout a screen or Slant? But no.....Moore goes brainless as he always does when he gets any where near the redzone in key situations. Not to mention the key penalties-dropped passes-missed blocks and of course no preseason games for the starters to boot. Yea. I'm pissed. I don't believe in so called moral victories. Especially when it's the same so called moral victories that's been happening for years......Next draft we better darn well take a corner and a DE in that order. And Tank. You making millions and can't get a key sack when we need one the most. Not a Tank but a paper airplane.


Diggs was a shut down corner last night. They don’t grow on trees.

Except they didnt do their part. Brady is the goat QB, of course he's going to get his points in. Im not upset about losing 31 to him. After 4 turnovers I'm upset about not having at least 32 against him.

Just the opposite actually. Did see the same old kicking problems and penalties killing late drives. Did see the same old missed interference calls.

With just one game into the season I'd say the defense is missing a pass rusher and corner. Forced a lot of turnovers. On offense they need to figure out the running game and in a hurry.

I said this in another thread but I'll say it again. We lose focus on the tiniest of things when under 2 minutes. There should never have been a holding penalty, not at that point in the game. Roll Dak out at any sign of pressure or play max protection. Be aggressive, and that was the first time we became laxed during the game coaching wise, was the 2-minutes drill. All game long, MM was super aggressive and the time to go for the jugular, he whimpered.

So right now, we can do two things. We can lick our wounds and whimper into obscurity, or we can man up, chest up, put on our fighting gloves and go knock some ****** ******s out.

I had Dallas winning ...so maybe you should test your fan hold. I in know way was thinking Dallas was gonna get embarrashed. I think after 25 years of seeing the same BS we sorta earned the right to have whine fest. You wanna except mediocrity that's your right. I won't . And when the re runs stop happening. I'll be the first to stop whining.
We need to learn how to win. I don't like this moral victory crap personally, I want wins, VICTORIES. We should not be rebuilding right now, Jerry has to get some FA in here with experience. RIGHT NOW

???....Tampa didn't run 200 yards on Dallas!....and did you really expect Dallas's Defense to Stop Brady and a elite receiving core from scoring? ...especially in their first game?...In Tampa Bay to add?...
‘C’mon man...

Not sure......but wouldn't the other team always ensure coverage is rolled to Tank's side.....after all.....he is the best of the worse on the DL.......so someone should be getting all the crumbs left, but it ain't happening. As for KMoore....I don't get the genius and phenomenal claims at all. Not sure how the players can recognize situations, if the coaches don't.

People will be in for a surprise if we continue to give QBs a year and a day in the pocket. It's not just because it was Brady. Give Fitzpatrick all day in the pocket and they'll put up 30 on us too.

Randy Gregory needs to start playing like the best pass rusher in his draft. We need our DTs to CONSISTENTLY move the QB off his spot. They didn't do that and the cover guys paid the price.

Can't agree more. The one good thing about this, is that it's only week 1. That's probably not the team we're going to see in week 5. Could be worse, could be better. I'm crossing my fingers.

I'll need a few weeks to see how great/average Tampa's O is before I can fairly judge our D. Overall they looked pretty good. Granted the AB/AB matchup looked bad, but Antonio has an elite WR career history.

The game we lost because we set up for field goals at the same end of each half
This is just one of several similarities with Garrett and MM. Both of them goes for FGs instead of TDs. Actually there is too many similarities between the two coaches to think that MM is an upgrade.

Which makes me think these kinda dumb decisions are coming from the highest and only true authority on this team.

They lost because they didn't call the obvious penalty and the end of the game.
I disagree. The game should have never come down to a missed call by a ref. Missed field goals, not taking full advantage of turnovers, etc. There is a long list of reasons why Dallas lost the game.

Yep. And he mostly does it on defense and yet some say you can't build a great defense. You sure in the hell can't build one this way.
LMAO. Good point. Their approach to team building has consistently been a massive failure year after year. You don’t see winning organizations dumpster diving for defensive FAs. I understand the gambling on some players to return to their former level of play after injuries or after one bad season. I understand that gambling on these type of players can pay off every blue moon, but the Cowboys use this gambling as their approach to team building. One out of ten may have a good season , but 90% are failures and the results from this approach is the failures you see on the field every year.
