Agreed 100%. With your ENTIRE post.

Yep..He simply wants to put the onus of the loss on the offense...and how can anyone who is a "coach" ..lol..not understand Roy was contain behind Glenn on BOTH busted plays..that is why Roy had the I just "pounded the pouch" look on his face.

Exactly.

I mean, SURE the offense could of done "More" to win the game. But since when should you feel you have to score 28 points to win every game? If you have a 13 point lead with 4 minutes to go, you should win. The offense won't put up a lot of points every time. You have to be able to win when one of your other units is struggling. Today, our offense struggled. But, again, we still had a 13 point lead with 4 minutes to go. So regardless of how many points we had scored, the defense was in a favorable position. Nursing a 13 opint lead and having the opposing offense in 4th and long. What more can you ask for?

I mean, if we had scored 40 points, but the offense screwed up with 4 minutes to go and we lost, I'd blame the offense. It all comes down to the final minutes of the game. It all comes down to crunchtime. Any defense would be happy if they had a 13 point lead with 4 minutes to go.

Yep, I do agree the play calling could have been better when we got the ball back..we should of went to JJ..and Drew missed Witten for a HUGE game changing play because his coverage fell down..so he threw it to the wrong receiver..but this did not squander the game..we had a decent lead.

With less than 4 minutes you cannot bust the coverage for a TD much less do the exact same thing on the next drive. Sure, if it were not 4 minutes left the offense better get more points..but we lack the "killer" instinct on defense right now..How to finish the game ..how to destroy that anemic offense and eliminating the last few minutes of desperation plays.

We will be better for this and I do think we have the potential on defense to get the "killer instinct", but this was not the rookies fault..it was 2 veterans that blew it on defense...OUCH !!

Roy was lined up about 11 to 12 yards off the LOS on the second TD. Perhaps if he lined up 15 yards back, he could have made a play.

Roy and Keith were beaten deep on several plays during the game. It was just that on two of them the Commanders actually converted.

Watch it again Glenn is at least 15 yards off the line of scrimmage and Roy is about another 5 yards back from him on that second TD.

Nope. I was watching Roy BEFORE the play happened and was wondering why he was 2 yards inside the first down marker on 4th and 15. Both safeties were inside the first down marker. He should of been 2-3 yards OUTSIDE the first down marker.

Hello fellas. Tough lost indeed and I'm pissed at this lost. Not because the Skins are a better team. But we basically had our chances and failed to capitalized. I'm especially p*ssed at Zimmer the most because its his defensive changeup in the last few minutes of the game that gave the Skins the victory. We should have stuck to what was working. Don't fix what ain't broke!

Why the hell were we playing Roy in 2 deep coverage? Roy was a monster at the LOS tonight. Yet we rushed 4 linemen that were ineffectively slow in getting to Brunell. Basically, we did not use Roy to the best of his abilities.

Another thing is that we never play bump and run and instead play 10-15 yards away from the recievers. This is a Zimmer trademark and one which p*sses me off to no end. Zimmer is so set in his ways in blitzing Obogu, Coleman and Shanle but yet his willing to put Roy back on a 2 deep zone. That has to be flat out foolish.

In that 2nd TD to Moss we played a soft 2 deep zone in which we were 10 yards back away from the recievers. If your going to allow the recievers to run their routes untouched and uncontested, I don't care if your Deion, those recievers are going to tourch you for big yardage. It didn't only happen against the Skins or the Chargers last week. It has happened all throughout Zimmers less than stellar past as a DC for Dallas.

Most teams like the Patriots play bump and run and ruin the timing between the QB and the recievers. Its sad to say that Zimmer has not figured this obvious and effective solution out. He probably will never realize it. Frankly, I don't like to wish disaster on people. But I hope someone take him out of his misery. His the worst coach Dallas has every had.

Tonights lost was Zimmers fault plain and simple. He needs to go NOW!!

He was 5 minutes from a shut out, guess he would have be a genuiss if the player make the play..He is solid coach and probably the next head coach of the cowboys, gotta figure he has been promised consideration for showing the loyalty to the club..

 

[ConstantReboot]

Loyalty means nothing. Zimmer will not be the next headcoach of the Cowboys. He is to dumb to know how to run a good defense.

 

[Sarge]

you know, its been 6yrs of this same garbage...this guy always slithers by...he is the worst coach this franchise has EVER had in all the yrs I have watched this team...one meltdown after another...ONE AFTER ANOTHER...no distance on 3rd or 4th down is ever safe...no 4th qtr lead is ever safe...

the clown absolutely doesnt know how to call defenses with a lead

if it was one play here or there and only happened a couple of times you could make the case that it isnt him, but when it happens multiple times EVERY FREAKING YEAR it is HIM...THE BLAME GOES TO HIM

what a piece of garbage

When you hold a team to 14 points - you should win.

When you have a 13 point lead with 4 minutes in the game, and have the opposing offense in a 4th and 15, you should win.

That's true too.

Cortez missing that 40 yard FG didn't help either.

Neither did the bogus holding call on Flozell (the one on the pass, not the run).
