Brian Stewart sucks...

[YosemiteSam]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Man Coverage Panacea. Nevermind that it was the zone coverage scheme that stopped them cold in the 4th quarter.

Dude, you're not a realist. You're just clueless.

Was that necessary? :laugh2:

 

[Chocolate Lab]

So many inaccuracies and untruths spoken as if they were facts...

This thread needs an enema.

 

[theogt]

Was that necessary? :laugh2:

The guy said the defense didn't "step up" despite holding them to 7 poitns in the second half (no points in the 4th quarter). And then he criticized the special teams, which were phenomenal last night. I mean, what would you call that if not clueless?

 

[InmanRoshi]

Playing lots of zone is Wade's scheme, for better or worse, because that's what he's used everywhere he's been. It doesn't look like PacMan is a huge fan of having to play off 9 yards off his WR. There was one play where the WR caught a quick hitch right in front of him and you could see Pac kind of complaining towards Wade like "Are we just going to let them have that all day?"

Perhaps the problem is the players, not the coaching. Maybe the talent you refer to isn't as good as the media pretends.

Other than Ratliff, we still get nothing from our front 3 in the pass rush. Granted, they aren't expected to rack up sacks, but the front 3 has to at least get a push in the QB's face.

We won the game...I'm thrilled with that, because unlike some who are in denial, NY and Philly both have teams that can compete with Dallas for the NFC title.

Based only on all 4 quarters of last night's game:

OL....Philly is better, stronger, more adept at blocking for both pass and run than we are.

QB....Last night, I think McNabb would get the nod over Romo for sure...he didn't panic under pressure or make foolish mistakes like Romo until that last fumbled handoff, and that wasn't a panic mistake...McNabb was a beast last night.

Defense....Philly....ours picked up some in the 2nd half, but while Philly was looking to take people's heads off, and you could hear the hits, our guys are bouncing off the freakin' QB. Our defense is wayyyyy overrated in my opinion...they are great on paper, but we still get no pass rush.

I love Ware, but he is still a one trick pony (the speed rush), though he's a tenacious one trick pony...when a great OT takes away the speed rush or a team commits to stopping him with help, we don't get much from him other than 100% effort. Ellis has more of a repertoir of moves, but neither of these guys can do it alone....we get no consistent push with the 3 guys who should be pushing the pocket so that QB's can't avoid the outside guys by always stepping up.

IMO, Philly was the better team for most of the game last night. But I'll also add that I cannot see them playing any better than that. Dallas on the other hand has lots of room for improvement on both sides of the ball...that gives me hope that we'll be the dominant team later in the year.

Nice way to lie.

I never said that you misread my post and i called you out on it.

Nice try and i did say the defense stepped up. Which was in the end of the game. I gave them some positives and negatives last night.

Keep on lying though.

And it was the perfect scheme agaist McNabb as we saw in the second half. He can't dink and dunk his way to a TD consistently. He's terrible on those short routes and consistently throws at the receivers feet. But if you play aggressively, he's going to burn you over the top.

It's not going to get you the best game statistically, but it gets you the W.

How am I supposed to know if he owns any Parker Brothers games? :laugh2:

I think emotion plays a big part. I know I get very emotional during the game and I hate on everything. Once the game is over, I generally take a more realistic look at it and try to remove all emotion.

Last night wasn't by any means a steller effort on either side of the ball, but you cannot deny what the offense was able to do at times or what the defense was able to do in the second half.

 

[chinch]

Who here thinks we were using passive, vanilla schemes?

some might call call zone play 7 yards off any mediocre WR as aggressive & smart but of course the same homers will pretend all is well in fantasy cowboy land then in the same breath argue how wade & co. are better football guys than Lombardi & Belichick.

the same clowns saying "they played the Rams" now talking up philly as an offensive juggernaut rivaling last years Pats. LOL

Yea im pissed about the defense. Im an emotional person

But to have a guy who calls himself an Extreme Idiotic Homer call me clueless is funny. Then he twists my words and lies about my post to make him self look good. Its just really funny. Dude is a good poster i enjoy his post but damn this dude really totally made some stupid posts when responding to me.

We all occasionally make stupid posts. When it gets like that, just stop responding or block the user if you don't like whats being said. I had to block some guy last week, and have blocked Rack on several occasions.

Yea and they are the same clowns that are trying to defend this defense.

They think they know everything.

And it was the perfect scheme agaist McNabb as we saw in the second half. He can't dink and dunk his way to a TD consistently. He's terrible on those short routes and consistently throws at the receivers feet. But if you play aggressively, he's going to burn you over the top.

It's not going to get you the best game statistically, but it gets you the W.

What are you talking about? McNabb fumbled on one drive. Prior to that fumble, Mcnabb had all the time in the world. He threw two times for six yards each and got a first down. The fact is, this fumble happened right after the drive the Eagles marched down the field from their own 26, taking up 5 minutes of the clock, and scoring on the Cowboys, putting them up. There was nothing to assume that the Cowboys were going to stop the Eagles, considering McNabb had all day to throw on those two prior pass plays.

It was because of that fumble that the Dallas offense went down the field and scored, taking 3 plus minutes off the clock and putting them up. After the Cowboys scored, the Dallas defense had to rely on a 10 yard penalty from the Eagles offense that forced the eagles into 3rd and long. Otherwise, they still garnered 10 yards over the middle on the third.

 

[MrMom]

We need a killer instinct on this defense. You'll see the top defenses around the league imposing their wills on offenses, making them make adjustments to what they are doing, but it always seems like we are adjusting to what the offense is doing.

Even yesterday for example, Philadelphia was making Romo call audibles go to his hot reads, while we sat back in our soft zones, and we'd let them have that all day.

What are you talking about? McNabb fumbled on one drive, where the Eagles just sliced up the Dallas defense for a first. He threw two times for six yards each. It was because of that drive that the Dallas offense went down the field and scored, taking 3 plus minutes off the clock.

Prior to that drive, the Eagles had a five minute drive where they started at their own 24 and drove all the way down the field for a TD. That put the Eagles up, and it took 5 minutes.

The next drive after the fumble, the Dallas defense had to rely on a 10 yard penalty from the Eagles that forced the eagles into 3rd and long.

Just let them keep thinking the defense was lights out. They will be in for a rude awaking if the defense doesn't improve.

It seems that "camp cupcake" (soft training camp) could apply to the boys defense. "Cupcake D" or "Marshmellow D" will be the label for this defense if they continue to play this way.

Yeah, those 2 coverage sacks on that last drive and the stalled drive before that show that obviously they would have scored had he not bobbled the handoff.

LOL!

 

[khiladi]

Because the Eagles were working with little time and Philly had to take deeper throws. You give the Eagles 4 or 5 minutes, they would have easily scored on that coverage, just like they were doing all game.

The Cowboys were essentially playing prevent the whole game. There is a reason you play prevent only in the last few minutes of the game.

The fact is, the Eagles pretty much matched the Cowboys in terms of TOP even in the second-half, which is saying a lot for the vaunted Dallas defense, the one you claim totally dominated the Eagles. Two drives where the Eagles shot themselves in the foot, with a fumble and 10 yard penalty and the Eagles still were controlling the ball. We aren't even counting the dropped passes by wide-open receivers by the Eagles and duds thrown by McNabb.

BTW, the stalled drive, as I said before, had to do with an offensive penalty by the Eagles, and little to do with the Cowboys defense. They almost blew the 10 yards they got handed to them, because McNabb threw a ten yarder, just shy of the first.

I think it was the last drive, prior to the Eagles little trick play, an Eagles receiver missed an easy pass from Mcnabb, which would have garnered a first down, because the CB, I believe Mike Jenkins, was playing so far off the receiver.
