FRISCO, Texas – First, a quick reminder that every season is its own entity:

In 2016, the Cowboys were 6-0 in the regular season when scoring at least 30 points. In 2017, they’ve lost two straight home games despite topping the 30-point mark.

Go figure.

As the Cowboys begin their bye week with a 2-3 record, here’s a closer look at what’s going well and what needs improvement when they return to the field Oct. 22 at San Francisco.

1. Drive Time

Jason Garrett spent a good chunk of Monday’s 12-minute press conference explaining time management decisions on the Cowboys’ final scoring drive against the Packers. Yes, they left a minute and 13 seconds on the clock. Yes, Rodgers worked his magic again, throwing the winning touchdown pass to Davante Adams with 11 seconds left. It’s a scientific fact by now: Time moves slower for No. 12

Last year we were one of the best rushing teams. Probably the best. We were one of the best at stopping the run.

That’s the biggest difference in this team. We can turn things around on offense as we showed in the 4th quarter. D is another story. Hopefully Hichens can help and whoever keeps losing contain on the outside should be sitting. I wouldn’t mind seeing Irving at RE. Crawford doesn’t do it for me and should be at tackle if he does play. His one sack I think he was unblocked.

Coaches, Please coach and make your team better.
