Game Day ***Cowboys vs Panthers 2nd Half game thread ***

[BotchedLobotomy]

Dak needs to step up. Carolina is daring Dak to beat them and he hasn’t so far. Defense has played admirably even though they look overmatched. McCarthy still sucks.

He’s literally had no time to throw

 

[Rogerthat12]

Defense needs to get us some turnovers and be better on 3rd down.

Pressure is starting to get there but pass defense has been crappy today.

Offense needs to get Pollard going and the passing game.

Kellen needs to call some plays to get them to back off the blitz.

Their is no reason to abandon our run game time to re-establish here in the 2nd half

too late for that

failed backup qb oc's always default to the pass when under stress

 

[Eanwen]

....Moore needs some adjustments on the Blitz. Fix that, will be ok

Biggest issue in the game I think. It's a rarity that Dak has a clean pocket. Seems like half the time someone is coming in unblocked.

 

[Ranched]

With that one-yard run, Elliott recorded his 50th career rushing touchdown, which is the the third-most since he arrived in the NFL in 2016.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

Need to adjust to their blitz. It’s really bothering our offense.

 

[nyc-cowboy]

That failed 2 point will remain costly

What people dont realize is what it does to you psychologically - now you put pressure on your O to make it up, you just cant "keep up" with the other team.

Horrible call - guys been here only a little over a year and I can safely call him a MORON.

 

[Kumala808]

Are some of you truly cowboys fans?

 

[Hardline]

This just proves that any good offense gets neutered when you can put pressure on a QB

The Cowboys are pressuring Darnold , He is making his best plays under pressure.
Dak can't make plays under pressure.

 

[Fmart322]

Most QBs, even the great ones, struggle when they constantly under pressure.
It's up to coach to figure out how to get him protection and more time.

 

[Fizziksman]

defense can’t stop a 3rd and 12 how will they stop 2nd and 27

because 3rd and 10 is a more practiced down than 2nd and 20+?

 

[IceStar-D7]

Open massive holes in the run game then abandon it?

That's why Moore would be Garrett given the chance

 

[Wezsh0T]

Defense doesn't seem to be flying around like previous games

I think we are confuse by Darnold's running. The defensive game plan doesn't seem to have taken that into account because that's what is keeping them on the field so far.

 

[quickccc]

Blitzer are getting too many free runs at Dak ... protection scheme has to get better

Sam Donald is owning us vs run ....

i do not the way our LBs playing first half ...an once again way too many Wiiiiide open plays underneath .. no one around !!!

 

[TheHerd]

Line has to step up on pass protection

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Put parsons back on the line in the second half: we’re taking our best player on defense out the game

 

[kevm3]

defense can’t stop a 3rd and 12 how will they stop 2nd and 27

Exactly. They probably would have converted that as well. I can't blame him for not wanting to give Darnold 2 plays instead of 1.

 

[Risen Star]

Cowboys!

 

[Cowboyz88]

If defense stops them on the first drive, I think that’ll set the tone for the second half.

 

[Eanwen]

Steele has also been terrible this game. If Collins would have just kept his mouth shut and taken the 2 game suspension, he'd have been available for this game.
