It's hard to blame fans for "jumping ship".....It happens...some are just the type to see the glass half-empty.

Plus, we've seen this before. The last two years we've looked pretty good going into December.....then, the wheels come off.

As far as our lack of pass rush:
Kitna isn't really driving the ball down the field. He's getting rid of the ball quickly. Our guys are getting there.....just a bit late though.

Remember....we have ROMO

We'll be okay. It's almost like we came out thinking we were going to pound them into submission against their passing game and they ran it down our throats. Since then, we've been on our heels the whole time.

I think we'll make some adjustments and win it convincingly in the second half.

I put that humiliating first half directly on them. Some will say Martz outschemed Wade, but geez how many times did Newman and Roy get turned around? Also, the d-line didn't SNIFF Kitna all half except for a Ware Personal Foul. They are simply CRAPPING THE BED today. There is no other polite way to put it. The mighty lions get the ball to start the 2nd half: we'll see if our defense can grow up in a hurry. PS: I can admit when I'm wrong: I predicted 41-24 Cowboys today: now we'll need 3 touchdowns to POSSIBLY win this game IMO: unreal.:bang2:

One word on our D today "shredded". Let's hope that Garret made the adjustments to move TO around to combat what Detroits D is doing against him. We need a big second half from him, if were gonna win this in a shootout.

TO needs to get involved. In any way possible. Line him up at DE if need be. :laugh2:

Why is it that when we are criticizing the team some of you guys say we are "jumping ship" should i be clapping when the Lions score a TD??? hell no

Why wouldn't i be frustrated??? all the talking the defense did during the week and nothing to show for it

Don't know why you bring up BP and Zimmer. Our teams have been playing like this in December since the Chan Gailey days. It didn't just start happening when BP took over.

Actually, back to Switzer's last season. It seems that the two things you can count on in December are Christmas and a Cowboys flop.

Not all of us are.......there is nothing wrong with critisizing our team when they are playing like crap. Most of us are die hard and always will be, but we are also realistic, and when the team is playing like this, and we critisize, it doesn't mean we are bailing on the team.

If you can't see that the team is playing like crap......well take those colored glasses off. It doesn't mean we think the team will lose......we still have faith!

What's obvious to most of us is lost on some of these people Mr Cowboy.

He can't score when the other team has the ball all the time.

The defense is getting it's arse handed to it.

Also the soft zone has not worked all year; the players just can not execute it we let GB back in the game when we switched to it.

I have a feeling that somewhere in this 2nd half, the refs are going to give the Lions a make-up call for the ones that they missed.
