Couldn’t have been better

I know it’s hard to win in the NFL, but this team is just…flat.

We can say Dak had some heroic plays but we forget the plays before it where he dug his own hole. Dak was both the arsonist and firefighter tonight.

This O Line has seemingly lost its run blocking juice for good. Pollard looks like that injury sucked away his zip.

Man we miss Diggs, not because Bland isn’t doing well (he might be better) but because Lewis isn’t playing that well

McCarthy should be fired. He is a fraudulent offensive coach
I forgot to add PENALTIES killed us

Add to that, our running game is dire… The RB corps we have doesn’t look anywhere near good enough, but neither does the blocking from the OL or the running plays that are being schemed.
I absolutely think we are using Tony pollard wrong

I thought the defense was downright great tonight.

They only allowed 17 points to a good offense.

The two touchdowns came off short fields due to special teams poor play.

They got the game winning sack and Int to close out the game.

That’s about as good as it gets in the modern NFL.
They showed up for sure

It can always be better and while I want us to play a perfect game every time, this weekend should prove that in thr NFL you can't always do that. Work in the bad, improve on the good and keep it moving.
And they get it on the bye

They need to get him to the outside, he’s not a between the tackles type of runner. More screens, plays designed to the outside. Bring in the fullback if you want to run up the middle.

Oh I thought you said he’s getting better but you said he’s better then Diggs oh boy

:huh:
I mean, he leads the NFL in picks since last year and plays pretty equivalent coverage.

Add that to the fact that he is a good tackler and significantly more physical.

I don’t think it is criminal to believe he may be the better overall player.

He was burned on a double move that should have been a TD, and dropped a pick 6, but he is a solid replacement for Diggs.
I remember diggs getting flat torched a few times in big moments… *cough, one in particular

I don’t think there’s much debate, diggs has the better hands that’s it

Key takeaways:

- Dak played better than his average
- Defense was OK but showed up when they had to
- 2008 called, they want their offensive schemes back
- Daron Bland at or near level of Diggs?
- MM still needs clock management school
- Our any down and longs need significant revamp coming off the bye
- Was a solid team victory

Bland dropped what should have been 2 picks and was badly beaten on at least one double mov… having said that, I’m glad we have him.

Let’s put it this way if 7 is healthy he’s starting and 21 showed what a great vet trade that was he’s got 2 picks in 6 games . Yeah I like Bland on one play though Keenan Allen left him in a different zip code but Herbert over threw him luckily . I like Jourdan Lewis too but Dallas misses # 7.

I saw his ankles combust on that double move play, I just think he stays within his coverage a little better than diggs who seems to sometimes have no idea what’s going on after he got beat
