I mean how many teams can plan the week and miss 3 starters after Thursday? Let alone two hall of famers

Zero excuses. But I feel Dallas was arrogant and let these guys sit

Of course this cup cake team would do this.

Their weaknesses without Diggs are being exposed.
I get what you saying but no way in hell that losing one CB should have resulted in a defensive rushing record day. This defense wasn't prepared......plain and simple and that's on Quinn. But I'm dialing it as just a bad day at the office. They will be ready Sunday........

Prepared mentally I agree with you. But..............Galimore is being exposed as a guy that has trouble keeping up with speed going across the field. Our linebackers are also being exposed in the run game.

If we dont get a lead or are playing from behind, teams will go big and run the ball on us.

Thats not all on Diggs being out, but its part of the emotional meltdown.

I really don’t see why not sign a guy like Rashaan Evans who is stud against the run

:hammer:

I really think they thought the defense would hold them to under 14 points and the offense would drive the bus home like the first two games. The offense again looked plain like the first two games. I hope yesterday's game is because of the missing linemen and not what the Texas Coast Offense actually looks like. I am not worried. We lose against the patriots then I will be.

Oline wasn't the problem
Not with the defense, but it sure played a part on offense. They run blocked better than pass blocked. Maybe that’s why Mike didn’t call many downfield pass plays or in the red zone.

Dak actually had a quality game getting us out of trouble all game long and extending drives with the pass and his legs. Right up until the pick at the end of the game with 3 minutes to go. By that time the game was all but over. Cards got the ball and ran out the clock on next possession.

Make no mistake, MM deciding to run and kill clock there had all but ended our game before the pick.

It was an incredible waste of time and it doesn't suprise me Dak went to pressing afterwards.

Not absolving the qb either, but the play calls at that time in the game were terrible.

all things considered the line was not the problem.

Lack of intensity to start the game was the problem.

We had to run the ball to win this game.




Also, hear me out.. Dak is a better player than Trey Lance right now but Trey Lances legs would’ve gave us a better chance at winning this game once we got behind.

I agree we needed Dak to step up and we needed the defense to actually show up. But at the same time you can't ignore two missing starters on the line or a key secondary player out for the season.

Three non-completions in the end zone, 1 an interception, are correctable. Not just blaming.
