Walked in fat and happy

[Doomsday101]

Yeah Miles not getting that early Touchdown hurt.

Nick Folk missing another field goal hurt.

Roy Williams fumble and drop hurt.

Then the ref put us away at the end when he saw the guy was down but decided to use instant replay to his advantage so he could confirm it and didn't realise he just sealed our fate by not calling what he clearly saw on the field.

I think the refs blew the call if you referring to the fumble recovery by Felix but all I can say is Dallas should not have put themselves in the position to put it in the hands of the ref to begin with. Dallas played bad and the Pack was playing like a desperate team. We lost I tip my hat to GB and expect Dallas to get themselves ready for the skins and the quick turnaround with the Raiders.

To the OP and those who support his theory, did you think the defense and special teams didn't play with a lot of effort? Did you see how hard and well Spencer and the rest were playing on defense?

Did you think Felix didn't show a lot of effort when he recovers a fumble and is not ruled down?

So Miles isn't showing effort when he's running down the field on a play to help a guy block. Then dives at a lose ball only to lose it to 2 packers.

It's the cheap, dishonest and easy way out to go. We got beat because our offense was inept on this day. Simple as that! People always wanna blame Wade for everything but our team showed a lot of heart and effort out there today.

Yeah im on the same page with you.

If the Packers can hold our offense like that then i'll tip my hat.



I would like to see our Offense get a lot better against the secondary blitzes.

It has hurt us all year.

 

[lcharles]

The thing is we have a legit defense now.

Our Offense getting shut down like that isn't going to happen often.

As long as Dallas has a legit defense we will be in the thick of things all year.

I think I heard them say yesterday in the game that our defense was ranked 20th overall in the league, a little higher in scoring defense.


20th does not strike me as legit. only average.

As the players say all they can do now is go back look at the film and try and correct the mistakes that were made. To me this game was won at the line of scrimmage by the Packers.

Your probably in a boat all by yourself if you think our defense is average.

 

[Nightshade]

Man to Man press coverage and lots of blitzing is the key to beating our Offense. Has been for a while.

Giants, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Philly did it last year. We beat out Philly last week because their corner play was poor.

The Cowboys have gotta figure out how to handle this better.

If you heard right, you'd notice that the only reason they brought up the number was to prove that it wasn't a true reflection and that our defense is legit.

 

[lcharles]

You are right. I mean stats don't mean anything, right?



silly me.

8th in scoring D.

18th in total yards.

That is what they were referring to.

Do you think the 8th rated scoring D is legit or just average?

If I were Dallas i'd bring a lot more screens. Especially since we got Free out there and he looks like he can move pretty well and get to a backer.

But teams are going to constantly blitz us and I think we should start throwing as many screens as the Eagles do.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

look....we were not going 14-2....and we will lose again befoe the year is out...but it is the WAY we played that is scaring everyone...no fight, no composure...actually other than Spencer and Romo..who fought yesterday?

Seriously? Then if only Spencer showed up how did the defense hold them to 10 points until very late in the game when the offense gift wrapped them their final points?

I wonder sometimes if people that make these statements ever actually played football or if you've always just been a bunch of bench warmers who run off about no fight or heart on matters that you don't have a clue about.

So now we only had two guys that showed up?

I know 95% of the guys around here have never given the other team credit but Green Bay deserves credit. Their defense played great, their offense went on a 15 play 80 yard TD drive when they needed it. They beat us. Period

Exactly. Give the Packers players credit. They had to win yesterday. Their season was all but over without a win yesterday. They got it done.

You see, I keep having these flashbacks from the last couple of years of our defense with the game on the line and folding like a house of cards. ( examples : last years Ravens game, this years Giants game, not to mention the 44 given up in Philly last year, in what amounted to a playoff game)


Average in big game situations.

Were the Philly and GB games big games?

Ok I get your logic. the recent Philly game was on scale with last years Philly game. really? :laugh1:


Last years Green bay game was bigger than this Greenbay game right?

The defense hasn't "folded" at all since the NYG game. You cant possibly think the D folded at any point yesterday, do you? They gave up one good TD drive to a top 5 offense the entire game. We're not the Steelers or Ravens(last year), so I'm not sure what you expect.

..it's happened three times already this year...this offense is'nt as great as some think...with Austin seeing double teams it will be up to Williams and Crayton to make things happen...it did'nt happen yesterday...the running game seems to be going into a tailspin once again as the year rolls on...either from misuse or miscues...take your pick...every team Green Bay has faced this year except Detroit has scored more than 15 points against them...

...NY fans have been making excuses for the Giants for four weeks now...the Giants are still on a four game losing streak...the Eagles have been making excuses since the Raiders game...the CBS article about the state of the NFC East seems dead on after watching that garbage in Green Bay...

...when you get punched in the mouth how you respond says a lot about the pride and character of a team...the Cowboys STILL HAVE'NT FIGURED IT OUT...it should'nt come as any surprise that most pundits simply does'nt trust this team...they have good reason and yesterday is yet more PROOF...

I guess it boils down to "what do legit mean"? :laugh1:




I actually think the defense played well enough to win yesterday if the offense had not stunk it up.


I'm not down on this defense, they have actually played better this year, but I'm not ready to crown them yet like some have.

Sensabaugh, Olshansky, Brookings, Jenkins.

Distractions gone, leadership up 10 fold.

If you want to go back and talk about Derek Ross and Coakley I'll be happy to do that.

How is the D playing this year?

You act like you are shocked that they lost.

Guess what? We're probably going to lose another game this year too.

So everytime we lose someone has to throw out all these BS cliches about this team.

Regardless if you dont think our offense is all that good im not sure how many people would agree with you. There is weapons galore everywhere.

The difference between this team and last years and even the 07 team is that we play legit defense and defense can carry you a long ways in this league.

We're still in 1st place too. As long as we win these next 2 then all is well.



A lot of the problem is you guys have some crazy blueprint that the Cowboys have to follow and its at times just not realistic.

Look at the Cardinals last year..... I thought you had to be good in December to win in the playoffs?

Even the Steelers lost a lot of games last year.

Dallas just needs to keep doing what they are doing and forget this game ever happened and move on to next week.
