Mash That Panic Button All You Want

[Them]

...Dallas will win the Division...how far they go after that depends on whether the defense improves by the end of the season...IMMHO of course..

...and the Switzer turnover was a big time momentum swinger.

Lol humbled by a anonymous internet poster?

Never have I praised Garrett you imbecile. Unlike you, I can analyze whats actually going on, on the field and call it like I see it.

You on the other hand are overly emotional because your crap opinion was disregarded by a more intelligent poster (me). But keep spouting nonsense and making a fool of yourself.

Damn right you got humbled. Don't take it to bad, it was a valuable learning experience.

You're the same person who claimed Garrett and his scheme were good. Jabroni. Talk about a crap opinion. LOL. Delusional fruity. You are definitely more intelligent when it comes to getting humbled and embarrassed. I'll give you that.
Nonetheless, let me know when you are free so I I can commence in my football class. For your first session I won't charge you. Looking forward to educating you my little student

This is the NFL

The Bears beat Pitt
The Jets beat Jacksonville
The Bills beat Atlanta


You never know what will happen. We were heavily favored this week and lost.

Yeah, I know it's unlikely the Cardinals are winning in Philly.

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.

I'm not a Dak apologist but I think some of what you mentioned has been partially due to the OL play not creating the throwing lanes or clean pockets like last year. Also, the coaches have either coached out the goodness we saw from last year with Dak or they are so unimaginative that they can't figure out ways to get guys open and/or a combination of the above.
Personally, Dak hasn't been on fire but he has been good enough. I see it as the coaches doing nothing to help him with finding mismatches and play calling.
Not saying he can't be better but I think Dak is the least of what ails this team.

He hasn't been as sharp as he was last season

Check out the first pass to Zeke @ :20 seconds



That pass leads Zeke upfield last season. This year Zeke has to jump for it. He made these passes look easy last season, they've totally deserted him so far in 2017.

This pass to Butler at 7:44


Bailed out by pass interference, he doesn't miss this in 2016.

Check out the pass to Butler at 1:17


See the difference?

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.

I don't think this one falls on the secondary. I think it falls on the run D as a whole.

Last year we won games exactly like that one right there!

 

[zekecowboy]

It really amounts to Dallas playing against 1st place teams in other divisions after having a winning record last year of 13-3. Dallas does not do as well when playing higher rated teams. 2015 is a good example.

LOL at this logic that it is perfectly acceptable for this franchise to ignore the fact they went 13-3 last year and instead, use this year as a rebuilding year to spring board to the 2018 season.

Is there no limits to the excuse making that goes on at times?

Do you hear how foolish you sound? The scheme is crap? Sorry to break it to you, but the offense hasnt been a problem here in the Garrett Era. Playcalling was an issue when he wouldnt run the ball enough, but overall our biggest problem is the defense.

Everyone who has the All-22 is saying the major problem with this offense is the offensive line isnt playing as well as it normally does, and Dak has been inaccurate too much. Not 1 peep of the scheme being the issue.

You my friend are idiotic. Keep blaming the scheme though. The same scheme that allowed a rookie to come here and be a top 5 passer in his first season. Now that hes underperforming, its the scheme LMAO. Embarassing. You should be ashamed at yourself for hitting send on your trash post

 

[Ranched]

Everybody believe we'd still have won 13 games last season without the services of #50 ?
He definitely would've put a kink in L.A 's casing-liner Sunday

You got dak right Melon. Half the time, LEE is our DEFENSE.

 

[ShiningStar]

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.

and i have been saying this for years, if something works, Garrett gets away from it.

I didn't say he was playing as well as we would like but looking at the issues right now on this team. He def looked better last year... but...I still say Dak isn't in the top 5 of our biggest problems.

Wrong

Cards were 7-9
Broncos 9-7
Rams 3rd in division

Cowboys weren't properly prepared to do battle in training camp

Dak didn't see the field until the 3rd preseason game

Don't forget the big return which lead to points for them.

That's 2 ST screwups and and INT for the defense to overcome.

By design coming into this sesson the offense has to score and control the clock and ST has to be neutral or positive.

The defense is very young and even some vetersn starters and contributors are new to the Cowboys. Being without field general Lee was a lot to overcome.

That's a better strategy when you're averaging almost 6 yards/rush on 1st downs than it is when you're averaging about 2, though.

 

[Shuff]

No panic here, I predicted 8-8, they are 2-2, right on schedule.

Well if Brockers didn't batten down one of them it was going to end as a pick 6. (Curl route to dez)

I think we do need to calm down as this team best days will be in November and December as we have a lot of young players on defense and hopefully that carries on to the play offs.

 

[cowboyblue22]

no panic here never thought the would be in the playoffs and if zeke gets suspended it will get pretty ugly

Today was another one, and there are probably more to come.
