Wade wouldn't say "I've seen that before" or "I knew what they were gonna call". Cowboy offense reminds me of John Gruden going against the Raiders in the Super Bowl.

Offense scored 30 points on Wade. Difference is not Wade, it's OUR defense. Point your finger where you will but when you score 30 points, you're suppose to win.

If you watch the 1st 4 games Maliek is getting doubled far more than Lawrence. He still has 2.5 sacks in 4 games from DT spot. We have far worse problems.

He's a DT, of course he'd be doubled more. But the whole point I was making was that now that DLaw is on everyone's radar, he will not see as many one on one's. DLaw and Garrett both stated that Maliek would feast if DLaw were doubled. DLaw even went on to say that Maliek was a premier 3 tech in the league.

Maliek was not able to take advantage of the extra attention that DLaw drew. The previous THREE games had nothing to do with the point I was making.

Wade made the adjustments in the 2nd half. We went from scoring 24 in the 1st half to....scoring 6 in the second. Meanwhile their offense scored 19 second half points.

Wade successfully stopped our offense in the 2nd half when it counted. So I understand why Jerry said this.

Bill Callahan has turned the Commanders OL totally around.. right now they are stonewalling the Chiefs..

We basically let two HOF coaches go in Callahan and Wade, arguably the best OL coach and best D.C. currently in the league and among the greats for Jason Garrett...

When your offense puts up 30+ points, you should never lose a game.

The difference was Sean Lee.
When your offense has 90% of the resources committed to them and can't adjust or sustain a drive in the 2nd half, your defense won't be able to hold anything. Stop blaming the poor, get a clue.

Evidently not. We scored throughout the first half and they adjusted or out coached us and dominated and scored more throughout the 2nd half (which is the half that really counts) Their coaches made the right adjustments to shut us down offensively and offensively run and pass on us at will throughout the 2nd half. Your correct that Wade was not the only winning variable but he helped

The reason why Dak has regressed this year is because Romo doesn't exist on the team telling him what to look and adjust for. Garrett and Linehan aren't the reason this offense was ever successful. Romo was the real OC for Dak.
You do have a point , He engineered more comeback victories than JGs coaching or Offensive philosophy ever did
