Game Day ***Cowboys vs Bears 2nd half thread***

[Nation]

The Cowboys had 14 points on their first 4 possessions. If you don't call that keeping the team competitive you're watching the wrong sport.

 

[rcaldw]

Defense allows points every possession, and people blaming Romo.

God our fans are stupid.

He didn't lose this game. But to say he doesn't miss plays is just as stupid. The throw to Dez was a big one at a point in the game we needed a play.

But, this much is true. We could have scored on 6 of 7 possessions and still be trailing, that is how SICK this defense is.

 

[Wheeltax]

And to think I laughed in the preseason when people said the Eagles would win NFCE

 

[Fastphilly]

Jerry better hire a good GM and keep his nose out of it. The neglect on getting good players on the defensive side of the ball has come back to haunt him. His mentality of spending his top picks on skill positions on the offense over the long term is a failed concept.

 

[LucaBrasi]

I guess no one will lose their job over this? Hope Rodgers plays next week so they can put this pathetic team out of its misery,

 

[munkee]

Sit the starters..........

I agree. Might as well see what the backups can do. This is the worst defense I have seen in quite sometime, maybe ever.

 

[seamus18]

Can you believe we actually scored first. Seems like so long ago.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Same man.


I was really excited about tonight too.

So was I. I really thought things would be different.

Jokes on me.

 

[Aven8]

Is this the game where Garrett loses the team ?

Did he ever have them?

 

[kycowboyfan]

In 40 years of watching the cowboys I have only turned off the game 1 time before it ended. this is looking like it might be number 2.

 

[TheFinisher]

By doing what? Blocking, catching, Tackling, rushing the passer, and covering WR's?

cracking 75 yards passing would be a good start

 

[TrailBlazer]

Start a fist fight and beat them that way.

That would suffice

 

[Cowboysfan570]

I never wish to see a person lose their job, but in this case I really hope so. It needs to be done, and it's not necessarily all his fault. He's not working with much talent at all. But this scheme was a fail from the get-go.NO point in delaying the inevitable.

Bruce Carter showed something before, Carr has played very well for us before, Scandrick has made plenty of plays, Hatcher has been lights out this year, Lee is a tackling machine, and Selvie has looked at points like a real diamond in the rough.

They're all invisible tonight. This is on coaching, specifically on Kiffin. We have talent, it is being chronically misused with zero adjustments made when it doesn't work. We played man for a few games this year and magically the defense played well: we're still in the same handful of formations each drive tonight despite them not forcing a single punt or turnover. Kiffin gets not a lick of sympathy and he sure as hell doesn't get excuses.

 

[Animosity]

the bears backup QB was sitting on his FREAKING COUCH this summer... and has outplayed our 120 million dollar QB. PATHETIC... PATHETIC.. Romo is pathetic, this team makes me sick. i cant root for this garbage. we NEED A NEW YOUNG QB PLEASE.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Kiffin should be fired tonight!!!!

Unfortunately, someone will get the ax soon but it won't be THE guy who passes off this defense as NFL caliber. I hope THAT guy invests in some d-linemen this off-season.

 

[Gameover]

Tony Romo is QBing a team with the worst defense the NFL has ever seen and has it at 7-6.

Say it over and over.

That is all.

Lies

They have seven wins despite Romo

 

[fishspill]

Draft position and available money makes fixing this defense in the offseason a distant and unlikely prospect. And we have a lot of money and hope tied into injury-prone players.

 

[DWhite Fan]

Lee out with a neck injury...Carter out with a hamstring injury...

 

[links18]

Leave Kiffen in Chicago please.

Gruden: "I am not even sure why you would run the cover two anymore."
Tirico: "Kiffen's defense got shredded at USC."

Jerry probably still thinks it was a good idea.

 

[The Quest for Six]

If they could actually get some more time on the field, maybe they would.

hard to do when you're three and out now isn't it
