Ugh..
I want to trust Dak,
I want to think we have a good OL,
I want to feel confident ab the defense,
I want to know the coaches got this,
I want to believe..
I just can’t.
I get things happen through out a game that is beyond your control, but that isn’t whats holding this team back. It’s the little things that “shouldn’t happen” at the NFL level that’s maddening!
“Let’s start with the INT”- last week Dak.
So much for Dak cleaning up the INTs. I know one of INTs tonight wasn’t on Dak, but the 2nd definitely was, just like the pass he threw to the DE last week. Or the running out of bounds to stop the clock at end the game. Or taking sacks when he clearly could have thrown the ball away. Or the lackadaisical throws that miss wide open WRs.. smh. The weird thing I’ve noticed ab Dak, is he doesn’t really seem to take the game serious until he’s involved in messing something up. Then a fire is lit and he’ll play well. That’s fine during the season, but there’s not a ‘next game’ in the playoffs. His weekly miscues will hurt us in the Playoffs.
The media continues to say Dallas has one of the “best” OL in the league. That’s hard to believe considering we avg 2.7ypc against Tenn’s backup DL. Now we’re going to trot out a 40+yo LT(Peters)a Rookie LG playing out of position(Smith), A guard at Center(McGovern), the best RG in the league that’s been limping for the past two games(Martin), and a fragile LT also playing out of position at RT(Tyron)! The Titans had their way with our OL. It’s embarrassing.
The defense has been hit with injuries, so they get a slight pass, but they have huge deficiencies that will most certainly be exploited. Mainly at CB and overall stopping the run.. exp against running QBs. Those are facts and there’s no real solution. The saving grace of this defense are the takeaways. If they can’t produce takeaways, you might as well hang up the game.
The Coaches aren’t doing their job. Period. McCarthy is the HC, so this is mostly on him. His team seems to start games flat with no urgency. 3&outs to start games have become the norm. His OC is allowed to continue his cute/wild play calling at inopportune times. Clock management during 4min and 2min drills are atrocious. And he doesn’t seem to have any say with the defense.. and what about ST coach Fossil? Where’s the big ST play we seen multiple times last year? None existent. The team does seem to play hard for him, but like Dak.. These coaches seem to find ways to make the game harder..that’s exactly the opposite of what good coaches do.
The sad thing is.. the Cowboys Won! I should be happy, yet the reality of another “one & done” trip to the Playoffs has set in. And that’s not my fault. Because our Boys don’t play like a 12-4 team.
