1. TNew is getting beaten worse than I have ever seen him.
2. Wade is an idiot for not doubling Moss on every snap.
3. I don't know why but we simply cannot seem to run the ball against this team.
4. No one is playing with any fire.

I know one thing the Cowboys need to do next week is to stop starting games on defense 10 - 15 yards (hyperbole, sometimes ;)) off the wide receivers. It really is starting to get annoying seeing QBs pass for five yard gains easily multiple times and have the corners run up after the fact.

They made Jacque Reeves do it last year, and they're making Newman and Henry do it now. We're trying to protect against the big play, but we're letting them dink and dunk us alive.

We must lead the league in whiffing on sacks. Jeez louise. Barber doing nothing on the ground is a killer.

I agree. There is no need for that. Play with some balls.

I keep looking over at the sidelines expecting to see Zimmer standing there with the way the CB are playing

That missed sack by Ware allowing Campbell to hit Moss deep (the first time :mad: ) really was a turning point in this game.

Plus they are still giving up the big play ontop of all the dink and dunk

Its just sickening to see how we play pass defense. They spent all this money and all these high rd picks on players, and we play some of the pansiest freaking coverage schemes in the league.

We've played 14 quarters now and still dont have an interception, which is just unthinkable with this group of players.

Just a terrible half of football by this team in all phases, our OL has been almost as bad as our pass defense.

They'll be very fortunate to win this game...just getting outcoached and outplayed in every way so far today.

And TNew biting on the route didn't help.

We will be OK.

Newman is one of the main reasons our D has been so horrible. its surprising. he is either still hurt or really rusty... and well the O has been crap and i dont understand why jones isnt getting any carries. they are big upfront it would seem to me some outside runs with jones cuold get some good yardage...

Stewart and Campo better bang heads together and come up with a better pass defense. I thought our secondary was one of the best in the league?

But Troy said we catch all the breaks with fumbles and freak plays with the ball in the air. Maybe he should look up our INT totals on defense this year.
