Cutler Completed 80%

very vanilla coverages...no blitzes either...no pass rush with 4 man line at all

dont worry about it. We aren't gameplanning for the Broncos

I have to admit I was PO'd too...feel better after hearing Jerruh saying they were playing vanilla...but still, pretty lame effort tonight

hopefully next week is better

The effort was poor.

But again, that was as vanilla as I've seen us play.

Stop it with the vanilla excuse. do you think Denver was just as vanilla on offense. our first team defense look terrible tonight. it's time to stop making excuses for the play of this team. it's preseason for every team. not just Dallas.
 
I refuse to be upset about a preseason game. I reserve my upsetness for when the games actually mean something.

its not an excuse if its true...they were played WAY off the LOS and the first team did very little (if any) blizting or stunting

doesnt excuse the poor tackling or the so-so run defense, but they were extremely vanilla on the first team...the backups blitzed alot more

No doubt. These preseason games are to figure out about filling the rosters.

It's easier for the offense to play better when defenses run simplified schemes.

Why do you think you see these ridiculous comp %s by qbs in preseason games and not in the real ones.


The answer is quite clear.

good god.

Might want to check a couple ridiculous penalties too.

That was about as basic a defense you will ever see this team play.

They had no enthusiasm at all tonight, brad sham said it best they looked like a team that couldnt wait to get on the plane and get home. It was affecting their play.

Zach thomas and marcus spears were great though.
 
Now that we've established an excuse for the defense, what was the offense's excuse?

How is it an excuse?

Folks were complaining that we didn't get any pressure on the QB.

Well, you can't do that in any defense if you just straight up rush four every time.

No stunts...no blitzes....

We played poorly....but again, it seems our coaching staff is almost setting our players up for failure.
