As much as we don't want to admit it...Philly has a solid offense and this defense was wearing down prior to this game. I was afraid we might struggle today. I wanted to believe that we our offense could take control of the game but they weren't on today either.

This 100 times over. You can only fix one side of the ball at a time. I was pretty discouraged with our O line play today though.
Didn't expect a complete no show.

307 346 and 332 yards and 5 TD's the last 3 games.

217 yards and 1 TD today.

What's your point? His play action, which you ignore, was stifling. Please keep posting meaningless stats in reference to a drubbing by a hack. You do realize the score would've been much more had he hit on a couple more passes in the red zone.

We missed Lee today. His ability to diagnose plays is invaluable against a scheme like this

BS. There were plenty of times they held their own and Romo had time. He blew it today. We quit the threat of the run with empty backfield. You can't block everyone.

Romo wasn't perfect by any means. the line was a sieve most of the game.

There were times when they gave Sanchez too much time to throw the ball. Really didn't force Sanchez to make many mistakes. Of course the fact that the D could not stop the run at times helped out Sanchez.

Just a dose of perspective.

The Eagles have scored at least 33 points in six games so far.

This is the first time our offense has been held below 17 points.

Don't resign or pick up the option on anyone. No one is worth it

All I know is RoMc better have his behind on the field Thu night. And this is 2 games in a row for OScan not being productive/best player in our 2ndry (which isn't saying much).

I don't blame the players as much as I blame the scheme and playing not to lose.

If you look @ the numbers Sanchez had......20-of-29 passes for 217 yards and one touchdown. You would think our D played OK.

But it's been the same story all year....Can't rush the QB , Lack of TO's. CBs getting torched.

Playing "not to lose" will get you beat 6 out of 10 times. Yet that has been the Jason Garrett era in a nutshell.

There is a whole lot of quit in Bruce carter. Easy to see why he is not a rod favorite

If our coaches had any testosterone they would put somebody else out there. Couldn't be any worse.

When we didn't take it to Washington coming off a winning streak, I knew we weren't as good as many had hoped. I looked to that as a marker. Since that loss, I have lowered my expectations.

Fortunately the defense isn't who we thought they were at the beginning of the season, However, they aren't who many have made them out to be throughout the winning streak.

After this loss, I have lowered my expectations again. We aren't going anywhere significant until this defense adds some more talent.

Rewatch it with a clear head. It was far from a sieve. They has it worse with the rams and the skins. Romo was off and the mistakes were huge. Stupid, preseason crap. BTW.... Dez was mugged all day.

Wow. Sounds like what Dallas does. Weird huh?

Your right, tony sucked and so did Murray. The line played so well the leading rusher in the NFL this season averaged 3.6 yards a carry today. He should buy the O line new luggage........... oh wait.

Dez did not get mugged all game one play I can think of. Excuses.
