Game Day *** Cowboys vs Giants 1st Half game thread ***

[Clove]

1st and 10 Dallas

This is where we usually fumble.

Prescott play action pass to Bell first down. Gain of 14

umm the quarterback missed a td or did you miss that? It should be 7-7 but he had a terrible throw forcing a field goal.

Yes Dak is far from a top 25 qb but it doesn't say much that our D that they can NOT and will not stop anyone on any drive!! Out team is just plain Bad all the way around!

In order to be this bad, the defense has to have both terrible players AND terrible coaching AND terrible ownership.

Didn't think it would ever be possible, but somehow Dallas has managed to do it...

The old trifecta

Nolan has to be gone if dallas loses this game

The problem was way before Nolan. I would like to see some players gone, though.

If he giants hurt themselves the refs bail them out with a cry baby

"If the offense would not turn the ball over, that would help the defense"

Yet when our D faces statistically the most inept offense in the NFL this year, in their first drive of the game, they drive down the field for a TD. All the while:

• Over tripling their first quarter points in a single drive
• Scoring a TD for the first time in 20+ drives
• Giving them their 2nd lead OF THE SEASON

Ya, our defensive problems are because of the offense.

Defense se can't make a play to save their lives. So sad

Good thing the defense was mad in practice this week though :-(

Dumbest team in the league. We're absolute suckers for play-action.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Likely the streams will be the Raiders game as well. I know the one I'm watching is but if you find one for Dallas please post it here. Thanks

I mean is that Nolan’s fault that Griffen is just standing there?

By that measure, are any of the defensive issues his fault? Just about every play they've given up could be attributed to a single player.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

If the Giants put up more than 30 points Nolan needs fired by Monday morning.

 

[CowboysLegends2]

Is it possible for the offense to get a TD here and try to play their 8th play of the season with a lead?

 

[Floatyworm]

When Garrett schools your defense its bad

Cowboys defense.....

So I can see Nolan coming down to the sideline made a huge difference....

 

[mahoneybill]

Just started to follow it on ESPN gamecast and see we got stopped inside 5 for a TD, and then allow the feckless Giants to march the field.

This is going to be a long, excruciating season if this D doesn't change. Its comical at best

 

[TheCoolFan]

Back-breaking offensive turnover is coming up

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Thats why you go low on the guy 80

 

[Teague31]

Garrett better tell Judge to let him run up the score

 

[efh313]

No words...

 

[Keithfansince5]

Zeke has no cut back ability.

 

[John813]

giants never went to 3rd down on that drive

Against this defense its bad they made it to 2nd down

 

[FortyFiveYearFan]

This whole "read and react" system of Nolan's has our defenders playing like a bunch of clubbed baby seals.
