Defense comes up small...

[DipChit]

C'mon man, we scored 13 points offensively.

Based on that, to even have a chance to win at the end is pretty miraculous.

Totally agree. I had ZERO confidence that our D would hold them to win the game. That's why I'm not that upset.

I get upset when dallas is actually good enough to win it all like in the '94 NFC Championship. This team had no business being in the playoffs and I'm ready for the Parcells "error" to end!

I've been there for three years.

I've gotten hammered pretty well around here at times for it.

Good thing I'm tough.

All things considered the defense played great. The offensive game plan and play calling was horrible.

OK..let me try to make the point one last time.

I didn't say the defense was bad tonight. I said when it came to the crunch time the irony was that what the defense did wrong all year, happened again, all in one play.

Geezlouise.

I didn't post saying "Hey the defense was awful tonight and cost us the game"

Another thing, how many times did our defense line up against the hags and look like they didn't even know who to cover? At least 3 I think.

UNREAL. Speaks volumes about our coaches, or we have stupid players..

You know when Glenn fumbled in the end zone, I was almost hoping that it would a TD instead of a safety.

I just knew that Seattle would get the ball back and score leaving Dallas little to no time left on the clock.

You can count on the Dallas defense flat out sucking or simply sucking when it matters the most.

I hear ya.. I'm just sayin I knew the offense had to come up big for us to win this game in the first place. They didnt. So anything the D did is pretty much moot.

I understand the irony you're pointing out.. I guess it would've just hit more home with me had we taking the lead and just needed the one last stop... and blown it.

Personally I think the game was lost when we didnt convert the 3rd and inches with Barber. If we somehow coulda came away with 7 on that drive woulda been huge.

Oh well.

On Seattle's last TD, we got ZERO pass rush. James was trailing by 3 yards in coverage and Roy got there late. TD for Seattle.

Well, that happens WHEN YOU RUSH 3 PLAYERS....

I may lose my mind if Zimmer is back next year.

 

[Smith22]

Maybe drafting another 6 defensive players in the 1st round will help us turn the tide.

That was one of those moments where I saw us come out with that tight fomation and try to power the ball and just shook my head before the play even happened.

Why on earth don't any of these coaches go 3WR..spread the defense a bit...open up some running lanes.

Yep. It's nothing really new though since Zimmer has been here.

I fully don't expect him to be here next year.

Honestly, I think BP lacks trust in both of his coordinators. That's his fault though for keeping them for so long.

Yeah..and for not bringing in assistants with any guts.

The guys he used to have as assistants were a huge part of his success. That was one of the aspects of his coaching that I always admired.

This time 'round he picked guys that seemed like he knew wouldnt challenge him.

I always like a QB sneak in that case. I know Romo aint the biggest dude and hell we never really did them with Troy either.. but especially if you look at the D's alignment, it was there for the taking. There was space. Check to it if thats the case.

Eh whatever, Obviously werent supposed to win the game. Everything from the dropped Int's to some of the refs phantom calls, bobbled snap on the gimme, Wittens catch at then end, to the term "game of inches" never being proven more true.
