The most points we have given up all year was against Denver. Guess who played in that game?

The problem is coaching. Its not Lee, Jaylon, Byron, Heath or any other player. Rod has to be better prepared and put his guys in positions to win

teams look confident against Dallas after halftime. That tells me Dallas schemes are easy to figure out and teams don't feel there is much (if at all) talent gap between them & Cowboys.

That's the scary part. For the past 2 weeks we look like we could put up 50 on good teams. Then we look like a totally different team in the second half. We play either a horrible 1st half and are unprepared, or a horrible 2nd half in every game this year.

And when we lose a starter to injury, we struggle to adjust.
Steve Loney is a big step down from Callahan. example

They gashed us on the ground. I think Sean would have limited at least a few of their big run plays.

The run defense has dropped totally off the face of the Earth with Sean Lee out. It is a huge difference. jaylon smith is not a good run stopper, well he is not a good anything right now....but that's beside point. Lee is a catalytic player and his loss is quite evident. Losing one player on a lot of teams can have a big effect especially your MLB and especially one as good as Lee. If he doesn't get better we won't get to 8-8.

I think we are now in territory of admitting Dallas misses Terrell McClain.

C.J Anderson says hello

Not trying to imply that he makes our run defense the 2000 Ravens or anything. But significantly better? Certainly. Hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher in a season+ until Anderson. Now without Lee in back to back weeks we've gotten GASHED on the ground.

Lee played against Denver. They give up 100 yard rushers with and without Lee

1. Daks throws on the run in first half were elite.
2. Zeke looks close to being himself again.
3. Jourdan Lewis looks like a 5 year starter without having a pre-season.
4. Terrence Williams doesn't do the right thing alot of the time.
5. What does Jason Garret actually do?
6. We can all live with the Dez we saw today.
7. David Irving is awesome and then perplexing in span of few minutes. How does 6'7" 290 pound guy just bounce off a QB. How?
8. Previously said enough about Jaylon Smith.
9. Dallas wins last two games with Sean Lee in there and Dallas is 4-1. One player on defense shouldn't make that much of difference but here we are.


Dez sucks but one thing he does well is prevent interceptions at times.

Only this time we got off to a faster start we actually had 21 to something.
Overall the Cowboys played a good game .
it was a close game ,they actually played better than I thought they would.
I think the key play was the ball is bounced off of Terrance Williams and was intercepted for a quick pick 6 that was a killer allowing Green Bay to score that easily and was actually the difference in the game.
but it is what it is ,we're two and three now so they're going to have to win some games in a row to get back in this or the Eagles may just walk away with it.

Again, not claiming they are dominant against the run with Lee. However, recent history says they've performed much better with him on the field than with him off it.

Don't think that's all that hard to understand.

True. At least as a general rule.

Terrence has cost us quite a few games for various reasons. That's not good. And it's a fact.
