Schottenheimer: These guys are confident. We're a good team

[CT Dal Fan]

To be fair Dallas' errors were in execution. The Giants just played stupid football with penalties. To me it all evened out in the end.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Giants at home was either the easiest or second easiest game they will play all year (@Carolina). This year is going to be tough unless a lot of stuff gets fixed.

We have no idea which teams are going to be good or bad yet. Did anyone predict the Chiefs would be 0-2?

 

[JayFord]

We dont really have zone coverage type of players and it shows

This was Rob Ryan levels of bad

 

[CrownCowboy]

This team is not a contender with the defense it fields.

It has the potential to be one of the worst in the history of the NFL. Why we insist on playing zone is beyond me.

Just stack the damn box and take the run away, play man across the board with disguised blitzes, hope the big stuff over the top is limited and hope for the best.

Enough of whatever in the hell that was on defense.

To rhythm yet

I've seen high schools' secondary that are better than ours!!

A couple of things are hurting this secondary IMO.......
Badly misses Micah's pressures
Misses J Lewis
Diggs is a liability.....
Need to bench Hooker and Wilson

CHAMPIONSHIP!

Micah's pressures were a lot of the reason for Diggs and Bland etc cooking. I know you know...

J Lewis we do miss desperately - leadership, grit.

Is Houston our best rusher? Williams? Hopefully the rookie grows into a productive role

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

I appreciate his confidence

Fake confidence.

It's almost like he's trying to convince himself.

When you're confident...you don't go around announcing you're confident...you just ARE confident, and you don't have to tell anyone, because they know it. You just walk around...looking for someone to dare challenge you.

We needed our kicker to pull a horseshoe our of our but, just to eek by a bottom 5 team.

1. Shotty sucks at calling plays. The offense is typically talented enough to execute but gets little schematic help or any help from schotty.

2. All Dallas DB's that played need to be replaced. Diggs might as well just stayed rehabbing, he can't make routine plays now.

Bingo!!!!!
He nearly led the league in pressures, making the secondary look better than they are.

That sh## reminded me of the 1995 season, when the 49ers came to Dallas with Grbac and romped. The secondary couldn't find the hash marks on the field...let alone the receivers.

That said, they did keep the score close through three quarters, but the breakdowns were simply too numerous and egregious. Even the best d-lines can't cover up that type of substandard play. It can't be that losing Bland causes something close to complete collapse. Wilson can still hurt you but compared to the week before (when his passer rating was 58.3) it looked like a seven on seven drill.

If Prescott is forced to throw the ball over 50 times per game this season won't end well. The Cowboys are still not running the ball like they should be running it. Hurts won today (at Arrowhead) with just 100 yds passing (216 yds total offense)...which means the Chiefs (0-2) are in real trouble.

Bland didn't play today.

Saying “we’re a good team” doesn’t make you one. Saying “we’re a confident team” sounds like a psychology pep talk.

 

[lwehlers]

He didn't hire anybody.

He has no control over anything.

that is completely true shotty has no control over anything on this team.

 

[Diehardblues]

This is worst looking defense we’ve had in years. Going to be a long season.

 

[Rayman70]

Shotty got his first win as hc before hall of famer Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn. Hmm..

 

[Rayman70]

But but I thought BEN AND Aaron were going to win a game first? Just wondering

 

[Diehardblues]

I was being wayyyyy too optimist with 8 or 9 wins.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

I'm starting to really like this guy. Not sure he's a good coach yet, but I like his confidence and personality.

You can tell he grew up around the game and spent his entire life in it. Lots of credit to his late father.

It's Mike Nolan bad. We're in for a lot of pain this year. The offense will make things fun, at least, but nobody's winning anything with this defense.
