Wow our last takeaway...

[TheSport78]

Was against the Ravens last season in the 1st quarter, when Flacco was stripped of the ball from Demarcus and we scored 3 plays later. Truly pathetic and scary going forward.

This is honestly my biggest concern for this whole team. I know Romo will play better and I know our run defense will get better and we won't play like idiots all the time in the passing defense department either. Our sacks will start coming, and coming in bunches, so I'm not worried there.

But our lack of ability to get turnovers is just alarming at this point to me. It's not just about these first 2 games, or the end of last season either, cause all of last year we were just terrible at it.

 

[Hook'em#11]

Just beginning to concern?

This HAS been the BIGGEST concern for a long time now.


Yes, Romo will play better. Just not against top notch D's all the time.

But, man, this defense, oh boy.

What makes you say that? We have the 30th ranked D right now and are 11-20 in our last 21 games. Lots of players have been out of position and our best player can't get close to the QB. But our NT can cover the RB, yay!!!

Am I the only one concerned about that play? He made an awesome play, but why did he have to?

Can't wait to hear what Mickey "Mr Excuse" Spagnola has to say today.

Are you saying our record for the last 21 games 11-20? If so you would be wrong. We were 9-7 last year and 1-1 this year. That would suggest that we we're 1-12 the last 13 games of 07 which was the year we went 13-3

Uh...21 or 31 games? I'm no arthimetic'er, but....

But yes...things aren't good. the potential is there though.

 

[newlander]

11-10. Pretty much a .500 team. You are what your record.....oh never mind.

I think that was just a great read by Ratliff. I sincerely doubt our defense called for Ratliff to be covering the back in the flat. Ratliff sensed that was where it was going, left his pass rush and had the speed to make it happen.

Ouch.

I changed the thread title. I hope you don't mind. We had 4 turnovers last night. We aren't getting takeaways. I didn't want it to confuse anyone who might think it was going to be about the last turnover last night.

Whoops..my bad Hos

 

[Everson24]

In our last 20 regular season games and the playoff loss to the Giants, we have a grand total of 8 INT's Has any team ever had fewer in any 20 game stretch? I have a hard time believing any team could be worse. That is 0.40 INT's a game. Just pathetic.
