Offensive personnel, game plan, tempo is ridiculously plodding and unimaginative.

Witten looks stuck in cement, Austin is AWOL, Murray runs like he's at the goal line... and Tony looks- old and weak, snd plays afraid. Dez is fabulous, but also has a bit of a black cat issue in that he falls in the fail bucket at inopportune times.

I don't know how to fix this team. I'm thrilled with the effort of the D, but this offense is a stinking turd.

Attack the defense. Seam routes, do we even have them in the playbook? Almost all of our passes today were 4-12 yard range. Absolutely no attacking the defense.

Romo got his ribs caved in last game.....i'm starting to wonder how much its effecting him and this gameplan. I've never seen so many screen passes in my life.

I just wish they could figure out the red zone problem.

Going to need a new head coach for that........................we have had red zone problems basically the entire time Garrett has been here so I dont see it magically changing.

It's game two you have to think they'll figure it out. But I agree with everything you said. I think Dunbar could help break out of this funk. He only touched the ball twice before being benched but at least he created some space.

Witten has always looked slow and he is, but he still gets the job done. You're correct about Romo playing like he is afraid, I don't know if the Ribs were bothering him more than he was letting on or what, but there were times in the pocket he started to go down, when he was in no real danger of being hit, His pocket awareness just isn't there right now. It might be from missing so much time in the off season, or he just isn't use to having the time in the pocket the Oline is affording him so far. I fully expect him to come around sooner rather than later though. Murray looks really bad so far. He isn't seeing holes at all, Dunbar looks like a better option at this point, but you can't play a guy who turns the ball over. The defense played better this week, but they didn't look as aggressive as last week either. I didn't see guys ripping at the football or anything.

Game 2 my ***.. It's year 7 of this Garbo.

Our system is trash. Look at the difference Kiffins system made. It makes a difference.

3rd and goal in the red zone, Dez is 1 on 1, no safety or LB anywhere near to give help on a hitch/fade/whatever you want to try. We run a bubble screen to Terrance Williams out of bunch on the short side of the field. WTH? It wasn't a Romo checkdown, that is a designed play.

In years past it was "everything is designed to go down field." Now its "this offense is slow and plodding." We can't seem to find any balance. I assume that comes from having no running game at all.

I don't know how we'll get better though.

We're pretty dang good already. We just aren't doing anything at all to fool a defense.

In fact I think defenses trick us more than we trick them. It's pathetic.
