1st game fans, come on

[dfense]

I woke up after a great night of watching the Commanders looking pretty bad in almost every facet of the game. Then, even better was watching the Fisher firing countdown begin. (I have it at week 6)

But then I start reading all the posts in fan zone. You'd think the Cowboys got rolled by 40 points. Every single post, fire Marinelli, cut Williams, negative negative.

They came within 5 yards or so of beating a good team with a SB quarterback, All Pro Wr with a two rookies starting in their first game. Cut them a little slack.

How about Claiborne looking a lot better than he has in years. Prescott was poised and accurate in his first start. He didn'the make any real mistakes. That in itself is incredible if you think about it. At least three straight games they've kept ODB out of the end zone. He had 74 total yards and one catch was like 70 of it. Safety play was a lot better, especially with Byron in center field. The few times Eli wanted to throw deep he couldn't because of either the rush or Byron'so range. Did anyone even notice that? And the only time you heard Wilcox's name was when he made a positive play. That alone makes me smile.

I think they need to add another category like the "Ilovetohateonmyteamzone" or something like that.

Oh, and see how many points the Giants hang on NO this week and then reassess your thoughts about the Cowboys D.

You are delusional if you think this defense is going to be any better than last year. It's called reality.
If you have a bad defense and DO NOTHING in the off season to address it, what can you expect?

Its not ONE game we saw this all last year, then before the lucky 2014 4 or 5 season before that.

And add to that 3 suspensions and take away your best pass rusher.

Not one game. What you saw Sunday was a continuation of last year when we kept falling short in games with backup QBs for a variety of reasons. Sunday was 2015 all over again.

I think that's why some aren't optimistic this morning like you are. We've seen this before.

 

[davey999]

Gregory and McClain should never have been counted on.
Gregory should not have been drafted, but that's another story.

 

[Cowboys22]

One game? It was more of the same from Garrett's antiquated and predictable offense. It was more of the same wasting of Dez Bryant. It was more of the same undisciplined and stupid players. It was more of the same red zone field goals instead of TDs. It was more of the same 4th quarter defensive breakdowns allowing the winning score after dominating or winning for most of the game. It was more of the same being outcoached, especially in the 4th quarter. Simply, it was more of the same old Jason Garrett era football. I'm not sure it matters what players come and go, Garrett's scheme and coaching style can't do any better than what we see week in and week out every season.

We've lost 13 of our last 15 games and currently on a 5 game losing streak. 1-14 in the last 15 that Romo hasn't started. Romo is our OC and HC folks. That's why I don't understand why he didn't hold out for 500 million after last season!

 

[Sydla]

And frankly if the highlight of your NFL weekend is the Skins losing, that's telling....................

Disgusting ... But to truth hurts

 

[Bull Frog]

The game Sunday looked like an extension of last season. Same approach with different players.

It did because it was!!!

 

[John813]

It's just frustration leading over from last season.

After thinking we would repeat the 14 season, the 2015 season we see Romo go down and subsequently the team goes down in flames.

We didn't do much to bolster the defense, and Romo is injured again. We lost a tight game where we shot ourselves in the foot 3-4 times, at least. So, yea, some may be venting on here.

 

[CouchCoach]

NO! I like wallowing in self pity, wearing sackcloth and spending all day yesterday as a volunteer pallbearer.

It is always feast or famine with some and I prefer the "woe be to us" to the "we're SB bound" group........after the first game.

On the bright side, we're tied for 2nd in the division.

The division leading Eagles beat the worst team, not in LA, and this time the owner won;t have to move the team, the Browns fans will come in overnight and help pack it up. And we know about the Giants. I ain't skeert.

Who doesn't enjoy a Skins drubbing?

That's telling....

There were some good things to take away from this game, as there should be in a one-point loss. Ultimately, though, it's another loss and there's going to be far more criticism than praise when that happens.

 

[landroverking]

Love Foreskinks losing.
Must win this week for both teams.
If Cowboys win everyone will be back on the bandwagon.
Skins loose they maybe done for the year with their first place schedule.

You must be new here, positivity is forbidden on this site

I don't when the Cowboys already lost that weekend. If the best thing you can come up with that made you happy this weekend was a Skins loss, that's pretty sad.

I'd rather not even have to care about the Commanders and just be happy we won.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Apparently a lot of fans thought it would all change this year. Lol
