Ok, I'll be the one who says it...

[CowboyWay]

Anyone else other than me afraid that the December fade has come a couple weeks early this year?

I didn't worry when we only put 7 up against the Pack. But a week later we only put 7 up against the stinks. Yeah, I'm starting to worry a little bit.

And don't give me the stinks have a good defense bit. They aren't that good. I don't care what NFL ranking they have.

I'll take 7-6 every week, thank you very much. Iggles, Gints, Skanks, Patsies, whoever we play. Give me a Defensive struggle with a Cowboy win? 7-6 works for me.

if that was a decent team today we would've lost. better hope the players on offense can overcome the bad playcalling and predictability of Garrett.

 

[DallasDomination]

I said it last week that we're lucky to be in this funk playing against these scrub teams. We get out of this funk after the Raiders and We're looking good for a playoff run.

 

[trickblue]

Naaahhh... I think it's the typical slump most teams go through during the season...

If you're gonna slump, this is the time to do it given these weak teams this and next week...

December is going to be a rough month for sure.

We play so many good teams that we are in a no win situation.

As long as we go into it 8-3 than we should be ok.

All you have to do is wait at least 2 1/2 more weeks and you will know.

Maybe the cowboys are kinda going through a slight slump now, and can pull out of it when they get the extra 3 days off after the oakland, that will let some players bodies heal up.

Then, after the giant game, maybe the passing of romo to austin and roy williams will improve.

I dont think it will be a pretty game when we play the saints in new orleans, but the other games are managable to possibly win.

There's good reason why you're the only one saying it bro. We're 7-3 and not 6-4 today. I'm just as worried as you but I am trying to be positive about the team as a whole. It sure would be nice to be cheering a playoff game or two for the first time in a long while. That said, If Romo goes down we're in huge trouble. We have got to protect him at all costs.

 

[Eskimo]

We'll see what happens over the next few weeks - I actually think if we can straighten out the blitz pickup, light a fire under Flo's behind and get Felix/Barber healthy, we are ready to explode offensively because all the pieces are in place.

I also think we need to deliberately try to get the ball in Austin's hands and let him run with it. There has been too much emphasis placed on getting Roy going. We just have to accept that he is what he has shown us - a #2-3 WR who has no speed and runs sloppy routes. Jerry could pay him another $10M and it still wouldn't change anything. The money that was spent on him is permanently gone. We need Austin/Witten/Felix to be our "triplets" with Barber/Bennett/RW/Crayton being the complimentary pieces.

 

[Don Corleone]

if that was a decent team today we would've lost. better hope the players on offense can overcome the bad playcalling and predictability of Garrett.

SO you assume that Tony Romo NEVER checks out of the play Garrett calls based on how he reads the defense at the line of scrimmage?

We'll be an underdog going into that game and we are a dangerous team when we aren't favored.

 

[chuffly]

If it's here early, maybe that means it will end early.

Hey a man can dream.

Against a bad/average offense our Defense is playing good enough to stop them. However you play a better offense and We get blown out. You know why?

Our Offense wouldnt give the defense enough rest and they will eventually start to get tired. This offense needs to get better in a hurry. We have one week to do it.

 

[ajk23az]

#1 statistical pass defense in the NFL isn't very good? 160 yapg

I still think if our offense is this teams biggest worry than we are sitting pretty.

Im more confident in this team because I can actually depend on our defense.

[Don Corleone]

To win in December, you have to run the ball and play good defense. This team is capable of both, and is showing it.

The rest will fall into place.

How many times have we been 'blown out' this season?

 

[DallasGirl50]

The thought did cross my mind today watching the game that the December funk had began a few weeks early.

Hoping not and a win is a win but wow was that UGLY!

 

[Wezsh0T]

I think the December fade usually includes the defense too. Right now the defense is holding us together. I hope we are in a little slump that we break out of soon. Teams have adjusted to us, and now it's our turn to adjust back. Can we do that? I hope so.
