My thoughts week 1

[Wolfpack]

Yet we have two and don't use them.

Still remember it took a while for them to figure out that Murray functioned better with a lead blocker too.

Its like watching the movie Ground Hog Day.

I agree with this, piss poor coaching is what does this team in game in and game out without Romo.
They have zero ability to adjust, if they plan on rotating lineman you can bet they will regardless of the circumstances.
The defense is stacking the box daring you to throw, well let's just keep pounding the rb into the wall hoping maybe it will crack.
Send Dez in motion? What are you crazy? Run him out of the slot? Even more ridiculous!
As long as Witten get his ten targets everyone will be happy.

Is that you T.O.?

Bailey was on sunday. That 56 yrder wouldve been good from 65. It was right down the middle.

Actually the 54 yarder was right down the middle and looked longer to me than the 56. The 56 faded toward the right goalpost.

All we had to do was hold them to a FG with just over 6 minutes to play and we would have maintained a 3 point lead but like always we can't keep anyone out of the end zone with the game on the line. This happened to us several times last season. The stop we made was when the Giants were trying to protect their lead by eating up the clock and forcing us to use all our TO's.

They played it safe to avoid a turnover and left us with just over a minute and no TO's to try and win the game with a rookie QB. If you're going to be a team that competes for SBs you have to be able to make stops in critical situations. What Eli and the Giants did on Sunday is why we've had trouble beating them in do or die games the past decade. Scoring one TD and settling for FG's the rest of the day isn't going to get it done!

Dallas def gave up one scoring drove in the 2nd half. 4 punts and 1 int. You can't blame the def

The defense gave up one scoring drive in the second half in the final 6 minutes when the game was on the line. That scoring drive cost us the lead that we never regained. We gave up a TD when holding the Giants to a FG would have maintained the lead. The defense continues not being able to make critical stops. The offense gets part of the blame for bogging down in the redzone causing us to have to settle for FG's but we still had the lead and the defense gave it back in the closing minutes.

Have a defense selling out on your run?

Simple fix. Play action Jason Witten down the seam.

or a screen to Witten on 3 and 21! More times than not Jason will juke his way to a first down!

The offense has to do something in the half. When ur def plays the easy if did that wbs half u expect a win. Plus are going to be scored eventually. The NFL is made for points.

The offense has to put points on the board but we did enough offensively to have a 6 point lead with just over 6 minutes to play and all we needed to do was hold the Giants to a FG to maintain the lead. It would have given us an opportunity to take some time off the clock and it would have taken a TD for the Giants to beat us in regulation.

so the only ones that have to show up all game is the def. gotcha

Totally disappointed in the coaches. Disgusted is more like it. Every single one of them.

Offense coaches: NY is coming up to stop the run and not even hiding it. Simple fix, run a playaction. Run a playaction to Witten up the seam no the out. Get them out of the box by moving Dez in motion on a quick inside slant. Beasley on a inside slant. 1 step and let it go. The easy things these coaches make it look so hard. I know theres another team on the other side, but this is what NY did to Dallas and go figure it worked. Sterling ate them alive inside.

Defense coaches: Marinelli the starting DL was very good the first drive then you just replace all 4. And NY find the holes. So basically ur running ur 3rd string DEs as backups because ur starters are suspended and hoping thet can fill in because ur backups are now the starters? You stop the giants with press coverage but go back to zone and NY scores easily? Marinellis response to the rotation on the DL was that he wants to keep his DL fresh. They were on the field for 10 plays in the first quarter.

Dak played like a QB playing ion his first game. He wasnt great but he wasnt bad. He took what was given to him.

NY took the run and the sidelines away from the team. With the amount of cheating in the box Dez still couldnt beat anybody? Couldnt get open? Theres a problem there. Too many drops and too many bad routes by this group of WRs,

Why Dallas refused to use a fullback with Elliot in the game i have no idea. That is what gave Morris his success. Very bad coaching day for this team.

Scandrick was the target for the giants. He basically gave up every pass rec on the giants first scoring drive. And when they needed something it was like they targeted scandrick. Again first game back but its clear he lost a little speed. Claiborne is hands down Dallas best DB. A healthy Mo is a nice addition and you can tell the difference from him being healthy to him having them little nagging injuries. Byron Jones is playing multiple spots on the defense because he can play all the spots, So its not Wilcox taking his snaps its the team using him differently.

If TW gets out of bounds Bailey wins this game. That being said this team lost by 1 to a very improved
giants team. Win this week

This right here, I think the Cowboys were arrogant in the way they thought they could run the ball. Our oline just got whipped by the Giants front seven.

Most of the resources have gone towards the offense, so they are expected to shoulder the burden. Even without Romo, 19 points is pathetic and the defense did what they had to do. They gave the game to the offense twice with a chance to win in the 4th and they crapped the bed.

This is a defense with a few suspended players and still held NY to 20 points, they did their job. I don't agree with anyone who says this is all on the defense. They failed once in the 2nd half, that is much less than the all-so-poweful offense.

Yes, the defense is bad but we can't expect much more from this group. This is on coaching not knowing how to scheme around a rookie QB and setting him up to fail.

So what if they gave up the lead in the 4th quarter, the defense did give us two chances to win in the end.

Where did I say that? That's your spin! Our offense needs to put TD's on the board but we scored enough points to have a 6 point lead with just over 6 minutes to play and holding the Giants to a FG would have maintained the lead and allowed us to run down the clock putting the pressure on the Giants to have to come back but we couldn't keep them out of the endzone. We're going to lose a lot of games this season if our defense can't step up and protect a lead late in games.
