Why We Lost

[Jake]

I thought Tampa would win this game. They'll win a lot of games. Overall, the Cowboys looked better than I expected but some weaknesses remain.

I'll be more disappointed if the Cowboys lose the next one. Herbert is really good, but the Chargers are not the Bucs. Let's not lay an egg after the TB performance. Get to 1-1 then come home and win some games. It's a long season and it's just getting started.

Jamming on every play is a recipe to get beaten deep. There is a reason people have known the way to beat Brady for 15 years but yet not been able to pull it off and that is because he gets the ball out so fast.

Yes, it has been pulled off. Manalive, do you really pay that little attention? Giants, super bowl, hint hint?

No one is claiming it's easy to beat Brady. However, if you don't pressure him you have zero chance.

I would say Kicker. If he does his job we win

Brady had a clean pocket all night. I only remember us even hitting him one time.

Yes, there were other reasons, there are always several, but that was the biggie. If you don't pressure Brady, he wins almost every time. Find a way.

Hit the nail on the head. They were pressuring him early in the game but by the second half, they couldn't get close.

Brady had all day in the 4th quarter and that led to the Cowboys defeat. The Cowboy kicker could have missed everything and it wouldn't have mattered if Brady had felt pressure.

Had it not been for the turnovers, this game would have been a complete blowout. It's true they had otehr issues but this one really sticks out. They knew going in what they had to do and they cuoldn't do it.

Maybe they should dump the English butler and get a real defensive line coach.

Our revamped d-line went up against one of the best o-lines in football. I'm sure most of us expected much worse.

special teams that are not very special and cd lamb and yes the defense is not that good yet but that bradies line is really good

If this is the result, time for some more revamping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tampa's defense gave up how many points. Would we have been in the game if the Bucks defense played better?

Giants had an all-time great DLine rushing Brady. If you are saying a strat is only sound with an all-time great front 7 then that is not a consistent strat. It also worked in 2015 when Denver was running the best pass rush in the league and the Patriots were down to their backup OLIne at every position (and I think 3rd string Guards).

Thursday night losses suck. We have to think about this for 10 days instead of the typical 7 days until the opportunity for redemption.

I think we got some pressure, just nobody actually got to him. Even on the final push off catch that sealed it the DE was an inch from Brady.

In my opinion it’s simple. One word. Gronkowski

I think we hit his arm more than once twice

 

[Cowpolk]

They scored more points than we did. End of story.

Turn it around. Are you seriously claiming there's another way to beat Brady?

 

[kskboys]

I don't think so.

 

[Whirlwin]

I don't think so.

for sure that’s why it flooded to the sidelines. Even the announcer said I don’t know how he held on to the Ball

 

[kskboys]

After D, sure. There are several smaller reasons.

However, don't ignore history. You beat great QB's by pressuring them, period.

One time, yes.

Yeah I won’t argue that. But you can’t argue that Gronkowski killed us
