This all is tied to the foundation element we lack since Jimmy left. Which is our lack of quality at the DT rotation. Just go back to key games in the past. You'll find the common issue we've historically had.

Prescott’s injury, as expected, pushed several of the other problems, and just as pressing, to the background.

The trenches were flat whipped last night on both sides of the ball. Looks like the alarm going off on TB’s OL issues was a false one. The Cowboys OL is still a work in progress, if it progresses at all. The DL was handled all night by a no name TB OL, missing their LT early in the game.

It is difficult to evaluate the WR corps because the QB had one of his worst games in his career and had the deer in the headlights look for most of the game. I heard some boos from the crowd on that one really bad pass.

The play calling, on both sides of the ball, was poor. And these two coaches are what the team has to depend on to just go .500 for the next 6-8 games.

It is still too early to call but the other 3 East teams played as teams much better than Cowboys did last night. Now, they have to come together with an OL worse than they started last night and their leader not on the field.

The only way to stay afloat is to run the ball and stop the run. And Quinn needs to impress on his star that stopping the run is more important than getting sacks.

Any NFL team that cannot stop the run cannot be successful. The run beat them in the last two games which isn’t so bad until you consider those two games were eight months apart and they had that long to solve that problem.

Problems need solutions and that might just be the major problem.
That's not totally true so let's cast some light on your gloom and doom propaganda. The O-line was good enough to allow Zeke 5-2 yards per carry. On the defense, the D-line was good enough to hold the Bucs to just 12 points at halftime and only one TD the rest of the game with Parsons sacking Brady twice. So the lesson learned is don't abandon the run too early and your defense will keep you in the game.

Now it's my turn to dispense gloom and doom. These lessons learned are lessons we've already been aware of and should have been able to take advantage of but KM seems to be too thick headed to learn them. Fire KM!

Don’t worry MM will stop the massages and cut back on feeding time to work hard to decrease the penalties and get things straightened out, he’s going to ask JG to come back as a offensive advisor.

HAHA. You made my day. I needed that. Thank you. Great post!
