Do we have big Ben on our team?

We dont?

Yeah, so there is an excuse

Skins will stack the box just like ny did

And they'll get trampled because they don't have the personnel.

Also, if the WRs hang on it'll get real ugly.

Yes NYG have a very good DL. But if your the best line in the NFL, it shouldn't matter. If there's one aspect of our team I expect to dominate every single week it's them. No excuse for their piss poor run blocking. Pass blocking was good, but you need to dominate week in and out to be the best unit

I think the excuse would be a not ready Zeke. Morris looked just fine.

And the OL won against the pass rush.

Overall it was a bitter battle between div rivals. I wouldn't be so worried about it.

We need to realize the giants d-line is better than we thought. Harrison and Hankins is a load to deal with. Thats over 700 pounds to block.

This!

Also We had problems with Philly's DL in 2014.

I don't look too much into divisional games because they just don't reflect how good a certain aspect actually is.

We aren't trampelling anyone

When's the last time we rolled a team without romo?

Oh never?

Commanders have been trying to stop the run all game.. they're putting 6+guys in the box all game. They are just getting destroyed at the point of attack.

I'm not buying that excuse.

Six in the box is not a run stopping defense. LMAO

Until the team proves it can consistently complete passes over 10 yards the box will be crowded. Not to mention the formations need variety, pass from running sets, run from passing sets. Not much of that happened except running from the shotgun/pistol. Also if they need to pull some lineman I know that is not true ZBS but something other than running into the teeth of a defense on 1st and 2nd down.

It's a good thing we rushed for 10 first downs (all on scoring drives), or the game wouldn't have been close.

We have to get better in the red zone, offensively and defensively.

The last time the OL physically trampled a team? There were games last year. You probably forgot because we didn't win.

Thank you!

A lot easier to stop the run of you know it's a dive or stretch left.

Much more difficult when it could be Jet Sweep Whitehad, read option pass, read option run, pass out of the backfield, delayed handoff, pistol play action slant, run with 4 wide and in a non crowded box, etc.

But nope.

Steelers are a top 2 team. Don't expect the Cowboys to win easily vs the skins. Not so sure they do win.

The Commanders look terrible out there. The Steelers are running all over them. So I don't want to hear any damn excuses from the supposed best offensive line in football and the #4 overall pick.
The Cowboys offense dominated time of possession. I think it was 37-23 TOP.

I'm trying to recall when OL's dominate NFL this era . I know of some QB's, defenses and DL which have dominated.

We have built this great fantasy team but can't keep the star QB healthy then don't have the defense which is best support for a lesser QB when star is out.

Can we even imagine what this team might look like with Romo and less than#1 picks at WR , RB and OL but a star studded top defense ?
