Grasping at straws to find pros instead of cons on this team is just a tragedy to see. I hope one day we don’t have to keep up with this clown game.
Why hope for one day when that day could be today? Please feel free to show yourself to the exit ASAP. :thumbup:

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

Our offense is a concern.
Penalties are a concern.
Thankful for the W.

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.
Oh yeah, I never meant that Dallas doesn’t miss Diggs (how could you not miss an All Pro corner), but I just think that Bland has a more complete game.

Wow, and here I was thinking that the team who's offense played a little worse than the others won. Yeah it was good to see this team take advantage of gaining a game on both Philly and SF but I don't feel they looked great doing so.

You can’t play the Patriots and Giants every week . Gutsy win on the road puts you one back of Philly .

That was an average game from Dak.

You don't have to, you are more than welcomed to join another fan base. I promise no one here will miss you and your type!

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
KC and Philly have been winning ugly all season.

OL play is really below average right now both in pass protection and run game.

The question isn't Bland vs Diggs, it's Bland vs Lewis. Diggs' absence puts Lewis on the field, and Bland is better.
There is no more question, Diggs and Bland are your starting CBs next year and I would tell Lewis to kick rocks - his effort on that first TD would have gotten his azzz reamed from Jimmy or Bill.

Dak was clutch at times. At times, he put the team on his shoulders, escaped, and made the play...

Looked Romo-esque out there.
Just a reminder that Romo has 0 Super Bowls as well. Low bar for comparison.

How do you seriously say that with a straight face?

Now I only watched first half so my basis is on that only, but if your honest and any other team with hope, you would have to say that the Chargers would be a team you should beat rather convincingly. This team didn’t.

First, the run game is just inept. Am I wrong in saying we didn’t need zeke and that pollard and company could do it better? I don’t know, but so far our running game is poor. Is that by design, again not sure but any one guy we have is not getting the job done.
The online, this is supposed to be our starting studded line but just not holding defensive pressure back at all. Is it some of the reason running game is poor, probably but definitely need to figure that out
Defensively, harder to pinpoint that out but our guys seems to just give up at times while other times turn it on. Running defense still needs to be addressed. Need to figure a better way to disguise Micah and how you use him.
in the passing game there is one guy catching the ball and the rest - well let’s hope they do when it counts. Gallup been here a number of years and his play is still inconsistent. Cooks - showed a lot of promise in preseason, but since disappeared. Our TEs in passing game - blah blah I like Ferguson but maybe they don’t trust him
Finally, qb Dak and I know this has been beaten to death, but he seems like he works twice as hard to accomplish half as much as elite quarterbacks do out there, and I really am starting to question his vision because he is missing a lot of open receivers
