I hear alot of bull about the OL being overrated, like last yr never happened.

When you have your superstar QB out along with your all world WR, and the QB who replaced him cant throw a pass longer than 8 yrds except 1 play a game where the sun shines on a dogs....You get the point. Of course at some point the opposing def coach is going to overload the LOS because the QB doesnt have the talent to challenge his secondary. Why its so hard for is fan base to understand this is beyond me. I guess its easier for a pessimistic mind to say the OL is bad.

I have no idea why Cassell isnt active on game day. I understood the whole he has to get familiar with his surrounding last week. But this week? Cassell is ot a rookie or a nobody who doesnt have NFL experience. The guy could have come in last week and done a better job than weeden.

OK i guess Dallas overestimated the importance of a do-it-all RB. None of the RBs on the roster seem to fit that label. Michael and his 1 carry get a incomplete. But there are 3 RBs that are freeagents that i would go after and 1 i would trade for over any of the RBs dallas has. Trade for Deangelo Williams, or Sign one of these 3 Knowshown Moreno, Pierre Thomas, Bryce Brown.

Dallas needs a WR to take the lead because its clear TW is a Robin, and needs a Batman. One guy who i would like to come in and man that for a few week is Welker. I know he has some concussion issues, and that might be why he hasnt been signed. But if Dallas could kick the tires on Okoye and his problems, why not Welker?

Its a sad thing this team is taking its time to insert Cassell because they have really blown the chance to see what they really have in Escobar. If you watch him he is virtually always open. Weeden just cant get him the ball.

Im really impressed with this defense. There is so much fight in them, more than last yr even. They havent regressed from the injuries they have only gotten stronger. But the physical limitations of the body have done them in at the end of the last 2 games. Hardy and Mclain are only going to make this def even better.

Morris Claiborne will be signing a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys. The guy is really coming into his own. He really stepped up with Scandrick out.

Sean Lee IMO really needs to give up that Ridell helmet and go to them newer style helmets. They provide more protection. And the way he plays the game he needs it. There is no let down in this guy. He is probably the hardest playing person on the field every week. He needs to protect himself. The equipment is there he just needs to use it.

It was very refreshing to see Lawrence show up for a game. Very disruptive, even if he was lining up on a very bad RT. But thats wat ur supposed to do, beat the guys ur supposed to beat. I know hes more of the player that shows up when he's a non factor so getting something out of him is a blessing.

New guy Irving was in alot of action yesterday. Played very good. He got p[ressure inside and outside for this defense.Really have to give it up to McClay and job he does finding these guys.

Alot of people make fun of Hayden, but the guy has been a nightmare for teams to handle. He might not get the stats but the guy blows up the middle. He was one of the biggest reasons why the Saints couldnt run inside.

ST is a nightmare for this team. This team should go right now and go resign CJ Spillman

Cassell isnt going to save the season, if anything he will be a slight improvement. I dont care who you trott out there at QB, the NE and Seattle games are going in the loss column. Only question is will the season be salvagable when Romo returns.

Usually like your thoughts but man you've watched a different defense and Oline than me the last two weeks.
On the OL
Did you watch the QB play? Do you think his play was the reason why the OL couldnt block 7-8 guys with 5 blockers and a TE?

ON the DEF
Did you watch the QB play? The amount of times during the game he couldnt produce a drive that sent the defense back in over and over and over
again? How many times do you expect the defense to go out there and stop the offense which the def has done the past two weeks, before they just
get wore out because your QB cant do anything with the ball.

You need to stop drinking so much during the game, because I think you were watching your son's Madden game instead. Go check what the time of possession on the game and get back to me. You also were completely asleep when Weeden was doing pretty much the opposite of everything you said. What an embarrassment.

when your franchise qb gets hurt your season is done period this is not a very good football team offense defense and special teams are awful. if they don't win couple of games quick I see dez not coming back in a hurry or room either. play out with cassel and regroupe for next year.

Did you watch the game? Weeden took a number of shots throughout the ball game. If Butler doesn't hurt his hammy he scores. If Williams doesn't try to arm fight with Browner he scores. That's 28 points right there. How is that on Weeden? We have no consistent playmaker without Dez out there. We don't have anyone to take an extra defender away from the line of scrimmage. Terrance is forced to be a #1 and he's clearly not. He can't be a deep threat because he has no hands. Yeah he can out run people, but he can't catch the football consistently if the ball isn't in his abdomen area. Cole Beasley is too small to be a vertical threat. Witten at this point is limited.

On second thought I probably shouldn't have given this a like. It probably wouldn't have near as funny if it wasn't the first post after a long take

No...you were correct in giving that a "Like". That pic of Weeden is too funny!

K let's just blame Weeden when the guy had a QB rating of just under 110 and his receivers couldn't consistently make plays even though he clearly took some deep shots and gave them opportunities.

He can have 153.8 rating but if theyre all check downs and the team is still punting after 3 plays what good is the rating? Hell just trade Romo and give Weeden 100mil since he can put up 110 ratings

WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT DUDE?

The man had over 9 yards per pass attempt. That's about what Romo's is for his career. He was CLEARLY trying to get big plays in this game. Our wideouts just aren't that good. They kept trying to battle with Browner instead of just running right past them like they could've. They allowed him to slow them on their route instead of just getting up field, getting vertical, and would've had easy touchdowns. I don't know what more you want from the guy. He brought us back when the Cowboys were down. Showed great poise in that final drive and because of the defense didn't even get a chance to answer Brees.

How can you sit there and blame him for us punting when our receivers can't consistently win on the outside which allowed New Orleans to double Witten and our offensive line continues to struggle to sustain blocks at the point of attack? That is not on Brandon Weeden.

Yeah great ratings throwing little 5 yard passes. Tries to throw deeper and misses most of them. I understand he is a back up but like the announcers said last night - he needs to step up in the pocket. They mentioned it about 4-5 times during the game.

Don't you think that Welker would pretty much be playing the same position as Beasley though? At this point Beasley is probably a better player than Welker. Welker is more of a slot guy than a true WR, which isn't really what we need right now. We need a threat on the outside, not another player in the middle with Beasley and Witten. I just think Welker would overlap with Beasley too much, and that isn't what we need. IMO anyway
