CFZ The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, and Next Week

[CoachD]

-The Good
* Anytime you beat Bill Belichick by 35 that's awesome
* I think the defense might have been a little pissed off from last week
* The Cowboys offense can move the ball
* Great fake on the xpoint
* Very smart move to go after the rookie corner after Gonzales went out
* Yup Bland is a bad dude and what a replacement for Diggs
-The Bad
* I don't like the calls McCarthy is making on short yardage
* Once again too many field goals
* Too many players are getting nicked up like Parsons and Martin
* The Cowboys didn't record a sack until late in the game
-The Ugly
* The obvious, man the Red zone issues really worry me especially when it comes to short yardage
-Next Week
* Ok here we go now the season gets really interesting as the Cowboys go to San Francisco to play the 49ers
so now we'll get to see what the Cowboys are really made of because up till now the Cowboy's schedule has been easy
but not anymore, if they can go into San Fran and beat the Niners then we'll know that they are for real.

I guess you missed that strip sack by Fowler in the first half for six points.

 

[Longboysfan]

I thought - as the game went on - the Patriots were not running deep pass routes.
They knew hold too long you're on the ground.

Yeah I was gonna say did that not count as a sack?

 

[Cowboy_svt]

I guess you missed that strip sack by Fowler in the first half for six points.

they were getting considerable pressure too, lot of errant throws because of that.

 

[John813]

Unless you are after fantasy points, which this defense scored well in anyways, the lack of amount of sacks forced a lot of stupid throws from Mac Jones.
Parsons had 8 pressures on the day.

Yeah the oline was very mediocre

 

[Einstein]

The good: Fergs is good!

Not sure what you mean on short yardage. We have been great on short yardage situations overall.

Redzone, not so much. Need a healthy Oline to be able to run the ball down there.

 

[DeaconMoss]

The 49er buzzsaw is oiled and ready.
The game is about 2 Will's.
WIll Dallas stop the run?
Will Dak show up against a championship defense?

Not to quibble.. it was 9

 

[John813]

Was going off the Fox demographic during the game, but I guess that was not at the very end of the game as he got one more lol.

Basics here but G, B and U is fine; however when you win 38-3 and you have 6 Good and 4 Bad, I question your reality.

Red Zone is a legit issue.
Too many FG is just a rehash of that point. Play calling in RZ again just a rehash there.
Nicked up players is a reality of NFL life. If they are not out injured, its not a bad.

 

[Doomsday]

I am not a fan of some of the play calling, too many WR screens, and 2 yard-out routes, especially in the red zone it is a wasted down.

 

[CoachD]

He was running for his life and out of the pocket,

I post what I see during the game and don't worry about the numbers of goods vs bad.

Nothing from Fox is good.

good summary.

we didn't get sacks, but pressures, which often lead to bad throws and some of which end up as interceptions. so I mostly look at pressure+sacks to assess pass defense.

redzone offense lacks imagination. we can't create mismatches. feels like we are just trying stuff. Deuce should not be the lead back in the redzone.

 

[INCowboysFan]

He was running for his life and out of the pocket,

it was still a sack

 

[Praxit]

..this was very good game for Dallas. It will aide them going into SF.

They beat Billyboy, perhaps best Coach of modern football.

Not just beat, beat soundly.
