The ballad of Mike Zimmer

[Crown Royal]

So if he makes good stats in other games he was getting blown out in (indy and washington) why did he still come into this game with a 108 QB rating.

Yet when he finished the game with a 37 QB rating after again getting blown out?

True story.

Today was an aberration.

You need a consistant passrush to be successful in this league.

Unless this team learns how to do that in the next week, they're going to be in trouble. If you let Eli sit back all day like they did with Carr, he's going to pick you apart - just like McScrubb did last week.

Today was a win...tomorrow is another day.

I think the gameplan is to shut down the opposing team and not allow them to score alot.

How did the defense do this week? Can you stand to give Zimm credit?

well coming in the Texans had only scored 66 pts in 4 games anyway, and almost half of those (29) came in the 4th qtr against Indy and Wash when they were being blown away

hey we won and I am happy, but if you think they can play this way every week and beat the good teams that we will play you are fooling yourself

I do not what all the fuss is about!!! It seems to me like they had a game plan and executed it perfectly. Houston can not run the ball so they played a 2 deep zome, several times only rushing 3 people when not in nickel defense. Bottomline is Dallas did not need to stunt or blitz to beat Houston.

Also, why show all our stunts or blitz to a team you can beat straight up. Save the blitzes and stunts for the Giants, Eagles, etc.

Good job Zim and Cowboys D - good gameplan great win.

So what you are saying is even though the defense played great you will still not give any credit whatsoever to Zimmer.

That my friend is why people dont take you serious. Your agenda is more important than reality.

If we can keep an Opposing QB to a 37 qb rating, force two INTs, hold a team to 34 yards rushing and hold a team to two FGs....We should be able to win the game.

Now will we do that against better teams...probably not but if we did I would take it every time.

Texans stats:

198 Passing yards (70 of which were in a last posesseion drive in which we were in prevent defense)
34 Rushing yards
232 Total yards (Again, really only 162 total yards)
0 TDs
3 Forced turnovers
6 Points given up

Yeah, Zimmer really sucks alright. Too bad we don't have the defensive juggernaut known as Greg Williams.

You know HH I think this is the only topic you and I consistently agree on

you can take your "agenda" crap and shove it...

just because I want to see a defense that hits a QB every now and then doesnt mean I have some crazed "agenda"

I dont like the way we play defense, never have and probably never will as long as Parcells and Zimmer are here...when we stop letting QB's have all day to throw and having games like last week in Philly I will give Zimmer some credit...most teams that cant rush the passer dont win in the postseason, its just a fact

David we are talking about today and the defensive domination we showed, can you give Zimmer any credit for today?

 

[Bob Dole]

IT'S THE TEXANS.

Look what happened last week against a good team.

The Giants have plenty of firepower on offense and if Eli gets time in the pocket, this defense is toast.

This defense is supposed to be good, any defensive coordinator worth his salt should be able to have a defense this talented shutting down crappy teams like Houston.

But anyone who thinks Zimmer has this defense, with four 1st round picks in the starting lineup, living up to its potential is insane.

You lose

it was the freaking Texans? HELLO

why should I give him "credit" for doing what we should have done against a bad team that 1) hasnt run the ball on anybody 2) hasnt score dmany points and 3) was still giving up almost 4 sacks a game coming in

geez people, we didnt stonewall the 1984 Niners offense today

David

 

[dbair1967]

162 total yards, 6 points, 3 turnovers

You lose

and the next time we play a good team, if we play the way we did today we'll lose, just like last week and just like week one

not everybody in the league is as sorry as Houston and Tennessee

So I guess you just can't bring yourself to give credit for a job well done no matter who the opponent is.

However I bet you are willing to bash away if they do bad no matter who the opponent is.

What were you saying about agenda again?

So what you're saying is even though the defense DOMINATED today, you still can not type one little sentence to give a smidge of credit to the D Coord. Yet if we gave a a TD you would have lambasted him

Agenda noted David, you are dismissed.

See what happens against a good team?

You lose.

David

If we give up 162 total yards and 6 points while forcing 3 turnovers every game, I gurantee you we will win the Superbowl
