No pass rush. No coverage - even when guys are in position they don't make the play or the drop an interception. The situation on defense is epically bad. But the offense? What's their excuse?

Here is an excuse. They know the defense blows chunks, so they feel like they have to press things all the time. When was the last game that Dallse played where we all knew it was up to the offense to win? The last two years the defense has been horrible.

Let's be honest. What side of the ball needs most of the attention this comming off-season? Will you be happy just knowing those that got injured in De this year will be back?
Having to do everything.


Bingo. It is a team sport, but how do you play when you know half your team is completely out classed?

I don't think the bears punted the whole game. Please correct me if I am wrong.

There have been only 3 games in the entire NFL this season when a team did not punt. Want to guess what team is responsible for 2 games of that embarrassing stat?

Romo played a role in the loss. He wasn't even the best offensive player on the field for us tonight, so im not sure why we all act like Romo should never take any blame for any of our losses. Our offense didn't gel or get into a rhythem all night. Part of that is on the D. Part of that isn't. Everyone shares blame in a loss.

A combination of Montana, Brady, Elway, Manning and Rodgers don't win this game, common.
8 possessions 8 scores, 45 points to a back up QB.

They didn't want to be there and played like it.

I'm well aware of what happened in the game. Just as i'm aware that only one QB can play at a time, so im not sure what you're trying to combine having 5 HoF QB's on one roster.

Like i said though, everyone shares blame in a loss. Is Romo the main reason we lost? Of course not.

Did he play a part? Yes. We let up 50 points to Denver and were still in that game.

It can be done. Our offense looks so out of sync right now, though.

Our defense is just epicly bad.

1- If you didn't understand what I meant, then no need to discuss it.
2- You are correct my friend.

I understood what you meant.. and it still makes no sense. A bad example in trying to make your point.. that's all.

So anyway, yes, our defense is horrendous.. we all are aware of that.

Having said that, i feel that the fact that our D is so historically bad is masking how bad our offense has become. We are so inefficient and seem not able to get into any kind of rhythem anymore. We rarely see big plays downfield anymore, unless its Murray breaking off a big run, and our explosive playmakers aren't getting the ball in their hands enough.

If you understood what I menat then how is saying that the best QB in history could not win a game like this?
And I am not saying this offense is perfect or that Romo played great, far from it but to say that Romo had a hand in this particular loss seems inaccurate at best, this is the 4th worst Defense in the history of the league, but hey to each his own.

Were you going to finish that first question there?

..and like i said, we agree that this defense is historically bad, but its masking our problems on offense. We don't move the ball consistently at all.

Good job efense, for the 2n time this year in a game you have allowed an opposing offense score on every single rive, not even forcing a single punt. Again, goo job, you have one something that is borerline impossible. I don't have the statistics, but I' bet that we're the first efense to ever accomplish this feat twice in a year, mad props.

P.S. - My local high school team coul even get lucky occasionally and force a single punt, and they're not making 50 million this year either.

Also, If anyone can find the "D", please let me know, it has been missing all year. Go allas!

I found the "D"....
