Mash That Panic Button All You Want

[drawandstrike]

Offense scored 30 points. Then they quit scoring.

But 30 should've been enough.

The Rams kept scoring, our D could not stop them.

We knew going into this year our secondary was going to have growing pains. That it was likely going to cost us a few games.

Well here's one of them.

So obviously there will be no 11 game winning streak this year.

But people already mashing the panic button are over reacting. There's 12 games left to play.

We got nipped in a close one. A 4th quarter surge carried us over the top a week ago vs. the Cards. A defensive collapse in the 4th and 2 turnovers doomed us in another close one this Sunday.

This team is still not built to come from behind once it's forced out of it's comfort zone, the ball control template that worked so well for us last year. Get a lead, run the ball alot, win the time of possession, keep the other team's offense off the field, and most importantly: DON'T TURN IT OVER.

We got 12 games to fix the problems with the running game and stop the turnovers. This *is* achievable.
Just think: without the 2 turnovers, especially the Switzer fumble deep on our side of the field, the Rams don't score 10 of their points.

The coaches are very aware we turned it over twice, the Rams none. Winning that turnover battle is a big game key, and we lost that yesterday.

We do need to start Woods and get him acclimated now, take our lumps now, go back to bringing in Heath only on limited snaps. We have rookies out there learning the ropes. I say take the lumps now, get to the midpoint of the season at 5-3 and then do a big 2nd half push for the division lead.

When we're 2-3 games out of 1st place AND have dropped a game to a division rival, that's panic time. We're not even close to that yet.

alll i heard was a lot "guys, calm down, let me tell YOU how its going to go"

ummmmmmmmm no.

GB is a must win game, or this team is lost. It is on the coaches. If they want to keep their jobs, they best change their ways. Only thing is Jerry don't have the balls to to make change.

 

[GroundZero1970]

Our d did force the rams to kick 7 field goals....so there is that

 

[Gameover]

I've seen more Dak balls batted at the line than all of last year

I've seen more should be interceptions so far than all of last year. Combined actual interceptions and should've been intercepted

Dak has let the clock run down more this season than all of last season.

It's like he's gone brain dead on me

We go as Dak goes. If he can find last years form, no less than 11 wins! If not, 7-9 is possible.

alll i heard was a lot "guys, calm down, let me tell YOU how its going to go"

ummmmmmmmm no.

What you heard was me saying the team needs to get back to the formula that won it 13 games last year. Control the clock, get a lead, time of possession, run the ball, and don't turn it over.

It worked in the past. It'll work in the future. Coaches on our team who get paid millions of dollars are now game planning how to avoid Switzer fumbles on kicks and helping Dak to spot when he needs to pull the ball in and take the sack.

As I said - eminently fixable.

Then their jobs are not on the line. That's part of the problem.

This is sad, but its the truth


Average QB play will not get this team to the playoffs. The defense and coaching is not good enough. Dak will have to regain his form from last year if we wanna have a chance

There were a lot of foolish homers saying the secondary and the defense would be better this year.

The funniest part was people telling me I dont understand football because I thought Heath stunk.

Anyone see him break his ankles on the catch and run td by Gurley? It scary to think that joker is our last line of defense.

QBs go as the online goes. Online play is worse as is run game and defense. It’s not about dak

Well he has to find a way to be good even if the o-line isnt as great as it usually is. Thats the sad truth of the jason Garrett led Cowboys

He has been finding a way. he was making plays all over the field yesterday on the run. Curious y the coach aabandoned the run in the second half.

Guys, everything is fine....

 

[gimmesix]

This team reminds me of the 2007 Giants. New York was so-so because it couldn't get its run game going and its defense wasn't playing that well.

I don't know if our young defense will come together like theirs did, but just because we're not looking like world-beaters now doesn't mean this team won't come together in time to be.

Snore, our underfunded defense needs the offense to sustain drives in the 2nd half. Defense has always been terrible and neglected, the offense is placing too much time and scoring pressure on them this season.
