I want to say I'm baffled by the offensive play calling, but in truth, the Cowboys haven't had the ball long enough to make any kind of assessment about the play calling.

What play calls have baffled you exactly? Care to tell us what play calls work when your OL isnt showing up?

What baffles me is our usually solid OL totally laying an egg vs an outmanned opposing front 7.

Seriously people, everything isnt always Garrett's fault.

Trade Felix during the off season for another first round pick, please. This guy is not the same unless something changes over the next few weeks he is a bust.

We struggle against all the team we are "supposed" to beat.

The high and mighty Saints struggled with the lowly bottom dwelling Rams. It happens. We will turn it on in the second half.

Cowboys need pass-rush. Cowboys need better offensive play calls. Cowboys need to rush the ball more to set up plays down in the endzone. Cowboys need to get Victor Butler in. Cowboys need to mix the run with the pass. Cowboys need to run Tashard Choice when they think about running Felix Jones for we can produce in yards rather than decrease.

Pass rush is fine. Rodgers is doing 3 step drops and ****** screens all game. That isn't the problem.

We are typically a 2nd half team and we get the ball to start.

That said..this has Pittsburgh game last year written all over it.

Make a 38-yd FG, hold on to a football RW.....

Here's to a strong 2nd half!!

Keep it up, D.

Havent seen much wrong with the play calling dude. Your OL has gotta show up. These guys have totally failed so far today. All of them. It aint just Free.

Disagree - far too many long developing plays - typical Jason out of control

Another overreaction. He is still feeling the effects of the knee injury and the brace takes away some of his explosiveness. He will be fine, but I do think Choice should get his carries until he is fully healthy.

I never made such an assertion. In fact, I'm an ardent defender of Garrett.

Seriously, try reading what a poster is actually saying rather than what you think he's saying.

YEs it is when you are shooting for promotion, you understand your Oline is not helping your offense, you get on it. this is just a simple fix, get over to that coach and find out whats wrong, if its going to come down to one player, recommend firing him or working around him. Something has to give and a victory is more important than someones feelings right now.

I really think we need to consider giving Buehler some FG opportunities. Folk has missed numerous easy kicks. What do you guys think?

Here's the sad part....

We are playing a team that we should beat......yet we struggle.

When we play a team that is a "test" for us, we play then tough and can beat them.

To me, the mark of a good team is a team that BEATS the teams they should beat......that to me means they are mentally tough to do it.

If we don't get our act together in the second half, it doesn't bode well.

I think big picture here.....

3 first downs is unexcuseable in ANYBODY'S book....so let's not make excuses, especially when we PRACTICE against a 3-4 defense AND they are missing a couple of their best players.

I really hope you don't think we practice against a 3-4 defense every day. If you think that you are sorely mistaken.

Victor Butler has been in on several plays in the 1st half. The pass rush is not the problem. The problems are all on Offense.
