Quick thoughts on the game

[Sydla]

I still don't think this defense is all that. If you literally cannot get a single turnover in 5 out of 6 games you are a failing defense. They got lucky today when Ruben Randle dropped a long pass wide open or NYG would have had 34 points not 27.

They're weak in a LOT of areas on defense and special in none.

That's a big issue here. No turnovers. You can't win like that.

QB - Cassel was essentially who I thought he was. I figured he would throw 1 or 2 interceptions. One of them wasn't his fault at all and was all on Terrance Williams, more on him later. He has the ability to move the offense, but is not a starting caliber player. The coaches should have focused on the run to help him a lot more, especially early. First drive, we ran it down their throats, but rather than punch it in, they asked him to score for them. We got 3 instead of 7. He is definitely better than Weeden though.

HB - McFadden, a lot of people were down on Darren, but I kept saying give him an opportunity and he'll show what he can do in this offense. He absolutely took this game over and should have been given the opportunity to run more in this game and in previous games. Also think Christian Michael should have been given more opportunities in this game. Think he showed a lot of good things in a small sample size. I would have Randle be the 3rd running back on the depth chart at this point. I think our running game is going to be just fine. If they can run like this when they expect us to run, we will do well once Romo and Dez are back. Bet the coaching staff makes Randle the starter next week though if he is healthy.

WR - Brice Butler is probably better than Terrance Williams at this point. Terrance Williams as I've been saying for years now is absolutely worthless. He is a lazy player with terrible hands and terrible work ethic. He makes the occasional big play that will make fans fall in love with him and his "potential", but he should never be counted on for anything. Cole Beasley disappointed me as both a receiver and a returner. Got bullied out there and I think he was thinking too much about trying to make a play on the last return. He shouldn't be the returner. I've never seen so many fair catches in my life. I also think Bissachia should be fired though. Special teams is a mess. He never gets real room to return, kick returns are terrible, and kick coverage or punt protection has always been a problem under him.

Offensive line - Offensive line played a great game. Not sure why we didn't run more or why Cassel didn't stand in the pocket more. He was only sacked once. That's one thing that Romo was able to realize. You have to keep the play going to make things happen. Collins is definitely the starter going forward. Doug Free needs to be replaced.

Defense - The defense played an inspired game again. Allowed only 13 points. And 3 of them alone were on Carr being terrible. People think we need to draft a QB, we need to draft a secondary and we need to draft a nose tackle. Not necessarily a 330 lbs tackle, but someone who can help stop the run more than Hayden. McClain would have been nice. Hardy is a great player. Glad we have him. Still need more out of Demarcus Lawrence. Byron Jones is going to be a great player for us one day. Giants had no offense tonight. Special teams and offense gave this game away.

Coaching - Thought Linehan called a much better game, but still didn't call a complete game. Thought Marinelli did a great job generally, but blitzed when he shouldn't have. Coaching staff seems to do a poor job evaluating talent. Don't play people until they have no other choice (especially on offense).

Refs - Refs jobbed us pretty early I felt. But in general they called a pretty poor game.

Season - Not sure if this team, even with this defense can make it to the post-season at this rate. Really needed Dez out there today. He has to play next week. Our destiny is no longer in our hands, but I don't think the Giants will have much success winning out either. The Eagles losing was really good for us though. I think with this defense Romo could have really done something special this year. I still think they should make a trade for someone to help us like Alshon Jeffery. I would trade Williams and a 3rd for Jeffery.

On offense I think we miss the veteran receiver. We could really use a guy with experience.

There wasn't much pass rush.

Good writeup and DMAC played the best that a Cowboy RB has played this season.

Well said my friend !!!

Byron Jones is going to be a great player for us one day.

Byron Jones should be starting at safety.

Wilcox had a grand total of 0 solo tackles and 1 assist yesterday. This from a guy who provides zero in terms of pass defense. Run defense is supposed to be his thing. 1 total tackle from Wilcox yesterday.... think about that..

The safety play is a big problem for this team. Jones is the solution.

We can slice and dice it up any way we want. You turn the ball over 4 times in the 2nd half of a 1 score game, you don't deserve to win. Whether it's the QB making poor throws, the WRs not running crisp routes, whatever, the team failed MISERABLY in turning the ball over. Ballgame.

My main concern is coaching. You wanna tell me 2 players are out (I know it's Romo and Dez) and you could not coach this team to get ONE win? Why is Jerry paying them all this money then? What if (God forbid) Romo get's injured again once he's back?

To me, a coach is worth a whole team, and our coaches are absolutely disappointing so far. I don't usually call for firings, but the WRs coach, the TE coach need to go, and ST coach need to go .. all ASAP ... do something well you? you know we are struggling with what we have at QB .. why don't you coach the pieces you have to help the QBs ..

I know Jerry's loyalty is not going to let this happen and it is one thing (while admirable) is also killing the team .. need a cold blooded ruthless guys like Jimmy or Bilichik to just let people go when they are not doing their job ...
