Did the defense get off of the bus?

Linehan REALLY came up lame. Is he fired yet?

 

[bodi]

got to blame Linehan or Dak

hell their CB's were playing off ten yards

an Dak can't see that

hell how many yards were left on the field

Blame Game IMO:

60% Defense (Players flat out beaten many times/especially between the 20's)
20% Offense (Execution continually offset by Rams scheme though)
20% Coaching (15% Defensive/5% Offensive)
0% Special Teams

Dak killing some drives personally with 3 and outs without a single first down in those drives tired out the defense quick. I'm not excusing their lame play, but Dak played a huge part in the loss because of that. He needs to be able to be good in all 4 quarters more often.

Can’t run
Couldn’t stop the run.
Pretty much sums it up

 

[Nova]

I blame the rams for being the better team.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

1. Run defense
2. Zeke
3. LBS
4. Linehan

BS, Dak is the reason we weren't embarrassed. From the beginning the defense couldn't stop the Rams. They had 178 yards rushing in the first half. Had nothing to do with Dak

The offense deserves more heat than that. They did basically zero. A late TD just made the score look better.

They couldn’t run the ball against one of the worst run Ds in the league.

Oh really? Dak personally killed multiple drives in the first half by inexplicably missing wide open receivers who could have gotten serious yardage after the catch. I wasn't aware the Defense passed the ball. The defense sucked, but Dak sucked too.

You have no idea what you are talking about. The defense and poor game planning/playcalling by the coaches gets all the blame in this one. CJ freaking Anderson KILLED us. How does that happen?

Defense and Linehan, in fact Scott Linehan and Marinelli need to be gone - the 4th down call to run Zeke into the teeth of the Rams defense and Marinelli's mantra for using undersized defensive linemen needs to end.

Dude, I normally support Dak, but that was horrible play by him and you're a blind homer if you defend that kind of play. The playcalling sucked, but receivers were wide open when Dak missed the throws. That's not a bad play call. That's bad play. Most of the game was played poorly by the whole team though.

Cowboys fans have convinced themselves that Garrett, being an ex QB, has no say in the offense because he doesn’t call the plays. It’s mind boggling

this x 1000

 

[Gator88]

40% defense
40% coaching
20% offense

Imo

You blame up. Garrett. Yeah, people under him failed too.

But, buck stops here.

Garrett.
