Game Day ***Cowboys vs Chargers 2nd half game thread***

[Lazyking]

Well that didn't go as planned. Don't lose focus, score right back.

 

[nalam]

No pressure means Rivers is picking up D apart

 

[Smith22]

Dline needs more pressure and the linebackers need better coverage, specifically Carter.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

Entire defense playing like crap.

Including Lee? Because he has six points.

 

[Marcuz]

330 yards given up in just over a half.

 

[Clove]

They are simply outsmarting Dallas on defense.

They are going in a 3 wide set shotgun running a hurry up. They are bring everything to the middle, and when we go man, they match Carter up with Woodhead.


Kick is a touch back.

 

[jblaze2004]

rivers started woodhead down, were the heck was the safety?

 

[Hoofbite]

LB in coverage have been very shaky today.

Carter does not look good. Good thing there's only 1 Danny Woodhead in the NFL and that he's not on a team in the NFCE. I don't know what Bruce would do if he had to face that little demon twice a year.

 

[HappyOnions]

You guys are acting like we're playing the Jaguars or something. Phillip Rivers is a good QB; he is going to make some plays.

 

[kojak]

Lets go offense.

 

[Lazyking]

No, the D really is bad. If they don't get pressure on the QB, receivers are left wide open.

Like all NFL defenses.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Cowboys need to respond. Time to prove they're different from the Cowboys teams of recent history.

 

[Doomsay]

No wishy washie first series on O. This defense needs a break

 

[Clove]

Without pressure, Rivers will move this offense up and down the field.

 

[SDCowboy]

You guys are acting like we're playing the Jaguars or something. Phillip Rivers is a good QB; he is going to make some plays.

He is good but throwing to wide open receivers is not making plays.

 

[Smith22]

McCoy is going to be a handful when we play him unless our linebackers step up the pass coverage.

 

[Hoofbite]

So Ware is in and out with a stinger?

That really hurts.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

No, the D really is bad. If they don't get pressure on the QB, receivers are left wide open.

That's true of any defense in the league.

 

[kojak]

You guys are acting like we're playing the Jaguars or something. Phillip Rivers is a good QB; he is going to make some plays.

I agree. we need to get more pressure on him.

 

[fanfromvirginia]

No, the D really is bad. If they don't get pressure on the QB, receivers are left wide open.

This is just, essentially, factually incorrect. This D is statistically well above average in most categories. They've given up a net 13 points today, which is bad but certainly not terrible.

By factually incorrect, I'm referring to the 'D really is bad' part.
