Have you seen our defensive personnel? I would love to see what your suggesting but we don't have the guys to do it.

Yeah. Pay attention, Rod. You see how these other teams bring talent? It can't be all nicknames.

Mostly nicknames, but not all.

Cowboys can get pressure, they just haven't gotten the sacks. Tyrone Crawford and Henry Melton have been raising a lot of havoc; it just doesn't always show on the stat sheet.

The biggest problem in the first game was not setting the edges. We did it last year in Philly and controlled them. Seattle did this today. They made Sanchez throw and he's not cut out for taking the team on his back.

Dallas is going to have to change it up on offense. Maybe they come out throwing it to set up the run? Get Romo in a rhythm first.

We will see.

Absolutely agree - but as they say, you can't make chicken salad out of chicken ****.

In an entire half of football, our defense knew the Bears would throw on virtually every down and we did not register a sack AND against an pocket passer. That is hard to do.

We just don't have the "punch."

By doing what BZ said we shouldn't playing in a soft zone. When we were aggressive earlier in the game we were successful.

I suddenly have a good feeling about next week. Dallas is two-for-two in revenge games this year (the Saints and Bears embarrassed them in 2013).

The thing is we don't have those 2 safeties who are everywhere. And those corners are, especially 41 on seattle, is balling on Defense. Nor do we have a dline like seattles. We also cannot miss so many tackles next game. Rally to the ball and strip. We have to get physical on offensive and defense. Maybe on offense run some hurry up this time.

Also the middle of the field we have to use it this time.

Seattle doesn't have a dez bryant or a witten on offense.

Same thought I had regarding Dez.

We are not comparing what our O did to their D... It's what their D is doing to the eagles O.

Sure, but all four units are different. The combinations aren't going to play out the same way. We're better offensively and have better matchup in the passing game than SEA did with them. We're at a disadvantage across the board when it comes to the defensive matches. It'll be a different game, but it doesn't follow from that that we can't beat them.

This is why I don't want all our $ tied up in Dez or Murray next year.

You need a DEFENSE to win. Always has been the case, and always will be the case.

Imagine, your O only needs to score 17 points a game to win instead of 30. All you need on Offense is some solid players. Super stars need not apply.

Did you watch Thanksgiving?

Personnel or not, you can't repeat that lame gameplan.

No you can't but I'm sure he's going to do the best he can with the players he has. We just don't have many impact players on D.

The Cowboys defense is not on par with Seattle's defense. No way we keep up with Philly next week.

Seattle offense is not that good like ours. Eagles are going down and I believe the defense will make enough plays to give us a chance. We can torch there DB's downfield as long as Romo has time.

Marinneli is overrated. Maybe he can try to get the defense to play well for the whole game for once.

We beat this very SEA team in their house. We're capable of hanging with Philly.

Agree 100%, we can play with Philly or ANY team in the league if the head coach has the team MOTIVATED and ready to play. We clearly were not motivated or ready to play during the first Philly game.

That's the issue, will Romo have enough time when Philly starts blitzing and can Murray make them pay? That will determine how that game goes.

I think he's done an OK job. This team is a better man team but he stubbornly keeps running a ton of zone.
