We had multiple quarters to put this game away. Switzer made a mistake, he's a bum, but that was what the 2nd quarter? We lost the game in the second half.

Just didn't get it done. Tons of blame go go around. Switzer was just the first culprit. Doesn't deserve all of the blame

That was more following the masses of people

This one feels a lot different than the Denver loss; obviously. I'm not as upset or as worried as I was after that game; because the offense showed up. They just didn't get any help defensively or from the coaches.

This is a critical point in the Cowboys' season. They need to win at least three out of their next four games to save 2017. At best this is still a 10 or 11 win team. At worst they're stuck back in 8-8 mediocrity.

I was a big fan of Marinelli before the half. Rushed three and dropped into deep zones and the Rams had no problem running draws from 8 yards there, 10 yards here.

He coaches conservatively. It's all about not giving up the big play and hoping for a turnover or the other team screws up.

Seem to be a difference at qb also.

Dak for a month now looks to read defenses very slow, consistently throw late, high and or behind and not able to handle pressure.

He missed Williams for what would have Been a td and it was probably the worst throw he has ever made. If he gets it up and out in front of Williams it’s a td and the game is totally different.

Dak was awful in the third qtr and it allowed the rams to get the ball right back and kill the defense. His throws today were even worse than the giants game. He is not the same player as last year and it is what is different about the team this year to me. The line is not as good but it’s not as big a problem as the QB struggling like this. Wide open wr particularly on third downs and they are not even being given a chance to make a play on the ball.

The difference was gross accuracy by our QB. Incompetent play calling by Linehan/Garrett and the absence of Sean Lee. Our defense did what it could for most of the game limiting the Rams to mostly 3 points on scoring drives.
