What's the recipe for correcting this disaster. We got burned in week 1 and flirted with disaster in week 3. My mother always said eat your meal before your desert. Seems our boys insist on having their desert first and then choke down their veggies latter. Why is it we continue to overindulge. It's as if we were diabetic and can't control our binge eating.

I've honestly had enough and have lost my appetite.

You can basically nullify the INT because the same gambling CB also gave up the long TD. Most CBs wouldn't have had the INT but also wouldn't have given up the TD.

Another fumble by Murray is a big concern. The problem with fumbles is that once RBs starting thinking about them they tend to keep happening.

This really isn't that hard to deal with. Just start Randle or Williams during the first series on offense during the Saints game. Then let Murray know if he fumbles one more time he won't be starting for the rest of the year.

That's surely one way to get the message across. I've heard of several remedies and they've all been effective in encouraging more consciousness of ball security. I can't help but think we need to do more than merely give him verbal directions to exercise caution. I'm sure Garrett is doing that but apparently, it's to very little or no avail.

While Murray does carry that ball too loose.. This fumble was cause by a perfectly time hit on the ball. Murray notices the defender too late. It needs to be fixed, No doubt.. Still, he has to have a sense and cover that ball up..

I still don't know what Romo is seeing out there when he throws a pic.. Helen Keller would not of thrown that ball to Dez yesterday. Clear as day , anyone could see #21 sitting there waiting for it. Yet, these are the SAME mistakes this guy makes year in and year out.. And, in no way are they good enough overcome those. They were lucky it was the Rams yesterday.


I am still glad they won..

Romo threw the ball way too late. He always stared down Dez the entire time. I would wish that once in a while Romo would do a pump fake, and Dez would do a double move on a play like that, then they would go deep.

Once a RB starts fumbling, every DC in the league will demand that all of his players do whatever it takes to separate that RB from the football. It's like sending out an open invitation for every defense to make it happen every time that back gets the ball in his hands. Murray will become the target of every defender in the NFL now.

DeMarco desperately needs to nip this thing in the bud in a hurry before it gets worse with each passing week. Even after his fumbles, he continues to hold the ball way too loosely and too low. Evidently, it's become such an ingrained habit that it's now his natural schtick. He's been fortunate to have avoided this problem up until now.

Write it on every mirror in his house, on the fridge, on the ceiling in his bedroom, on the underside of the toilet lid, on the windshield of his car, make subliminal CD's with it and pipe it into his house 24/7, tell the barista at his favorite Starbuck's to say it to him, make the waterboy say it to him until he gets it:

HIGH AND TIGHT!!!!
