We know how to make scrub QBs look like Brady and Peyton Manning.

How many times is it over the last few years?

And add to this how many backups at other positions seem to have career days against us?

This D is just horrible, and has been for years

 

[PoundTheRock]

Until they finish the defensive line this will continue to happen. Who would've thought a team that is starting Jeremy Mincey (all the credit in the world for that monster sack against Williams though) and George Selvie would be horrible upfront?

Indeed. And so many times in our house.

The biggest problem I saw defensively this game was atrocious tackling. That has not been the case all year. They'll clean it up. What I am most confused about this game was forgoing the run on 2nd and 2 and 3rd and 2 in OT with 9+ minutes on the clock. Dumb play call.

Poor tackling, no help from the offense, no pass rush, DJax running free downfield.........

Teams will continue to play 0 coverage, and blitz, until we make the proper protection adjustments, and take advantage of Dez 1 on 1.

I have been saying this for a while, we are nothing without Dez. This is exactly how teams would play us every game, if we had no Dez.

I did to at first, but they actually had more success than I realized on 2nd downs in the 2nd half. Now I'm not saying I would have made the same calls, but if they had reasonable success with them, I can't beat them up too much for it.

We have garbage up front. Until that changes, the defense will continue to be held together with spit and glue.

Well to be fair, a rookie and a 2nd year CB got the best of Dez last night, so he didn't exactly bring his A-game either.

If just wish the Cowboys had a QB that could consistently get him the ball. That's not even a slight on Romo, he's good. I just don't like his ability to throw the ball down field or put a player like Dez in position to get YAC.

Did you see what the QB was doing?

Did you see what the QB was doing?

I saw when one of the QBs hit Dez in the chest in the endzone, he didn't catch the ball, that led to a FG, Dallas went to overtime, and Dallas lost by 3. I saw that.

Dez has got to make every play, but we can excuse the 100 million dollar man back there for being able to read a defense?

Other than 1 play, Dez was totally shut down by a rookie last night...........................and yes, he dropped a TD pass in the end zone that hit him right between the 8 and 8.

Dez never gets YAC, he always gets dragged down. I bet his YAC is one of the worse in the league

If they'd have smashed the ball on second down instead of getting cute with the slant to Murray, we'd have sustained that drive. If you're in overtime and your RB has put up over 100 yards on a defensive front, smash it. I absolutely beat them up for it. The run game is 75% of the offensive AND defensive success this year and you abandon it when you only need 2 yards for a new set of downs.

It's because the QB doesn't get him the ball in stride.

LOL! I never excused Romo. Why not acknowledge that Dez got schooled last night, because he did. Furthermore, I think people are noticing that he isn't consistently getting separation. I'm pretty sure Broadus even commented about it within the last couple of weeks.

Look, Romo is far from perfect, but Dez is n't Calvin Johnson. This idea that you just send him on 4 posts a game, chuck it up, and he'll have at least a couple of 50 yards TDs is crazy. Dez is a good player, but he has bad games. Last night, he wasn't on. That's not just on Romo, especially when Dez has the same problem once Weeden was in.

So he wants $15 million a season and he has to get the ball perfectly in stride with a rookie covering him to make a play?

Weeden hit him right between the 88s in the end zone and butterfingers dropped it...................just saying.
