I love Rob Ryan, but we have to improve against NFCE opponents

Anyone else notice our D has been great against almost everyone except the NFCE teams? Surely, we need more talent on our defense, especially in the secondary and the other MLB position. It does concern me though that the teams who matter most, we struggle bigtime against. Eli, Vick (overrated), Mccoy, Nicks, Cruz, they arent going anywhere soon. We even made Grossman look all pro the second time we played them. With the "talent" we have, I think Robs done a good job, not great, but good. However, whatever strengths or weaknesses he believes we have, he has to gameplan better against East opponents or we could be in trouble again next year. This week has to be all about pressure on Sheli. Our Dbs are not capable of covering the giants WR's, but their dbs arent capable of covering our WR's either, so thats a wash. I believe in Rob, and I think he puts us in good positions to win this week, he doesnt have a choice. Go Cowboys

btw, we should see if the giants want Martellus for Pierre Paul

Sounds like an even deal to me. :confused:
 
It will be embarrassing to be swept by Giants and Eagles in same year. Get it done Rob!

Defense will need to be great because I'm not sure what kind of a performance we're going to get out of Romo and his swollen throwing hand.
 
yup; it will be hard to feel like this team is "close" if they get swept by the two best rivals in the division.

Thats what I was thinking. Regardless if were heading in the right direction or have a good draft, we have to be able to handle our division opponents or we mine as well start our seasons 0-4
 
My friend is a Giant fan and he blasted the JPP pick. I didn't know much about him, but I did see some Ware in him. Thank Goodness we drafted Tyron.

Pierre Paul may be the best 4-3 end in the nfl outside of Jared Allen. Very good thing we drafted Tyron

Good thing we will be the only NFCE team in the playoffs this year then.
 
He's not good until he matches up with the NFCE. We basically got swept and manhandled by them as far as I'm concerned. Next year will be a better gauge.

Twenty sacks his 'rook' season certainly got my attention. Perhaps the wagons are circled this week and Romo can direct from within.

Now, if Rob Ryan can keep his secondary awake on third downs and through the fourth quarter, things will be getting quite interesting for Cowboy fans.
 
This is a message for the entire team and coaching staff, not just Ryan. In a league where you need to win your division to host a playoff game, those 6 games are CRUCIAL to how you finish. You must be able to match up with and out coach your divisional opponents. Must.
