Our linbacker talent is catching up with us. We have replaced Ngyuen and Al singlenton with Fowler and Shale. Dont get me wrong, I think Shale is a nice player but he is the guy coming off the bench, not the starter.

Injuries have hurt us, but NO excuses.

Who cares what area we're weak in-we were LETHARGIC ALL around today.

Look at the Pats-despite having SIX DBs on IR-they're slowly but surely returning to their old form.

It's the myth of the mighty 3-4.

None of our LB's are making plays. I don't want to hear how well Bradie James has come along, he's miffed on numerous plays and has been out of position uncountable times through the year.

Lost two starting LBs with a rookie starting on the otherside. Only James has showed up and he is still making bad reads in space to the ball. We get gashed outside before today and today we got it inside.


BTW:
Saw Glover playing some D end a bit looked like.

The Cowboys run defense is weak. They are allowing teams to run for 4.4 ypc which ranks 28th in the NFL. The Cowboys can't run the ball and now they can't stop the run which is never a good thing for a team trying to make the playoffs.

This season did start with promise but Zimmer has completely killed it as we went along. As offense figured out how to move the ball against us, he hasn't made any adjustments that would work to stop them.

Al Grogh(a former Tuna assistant) just signed to rebuild Temple's program.

Is it a long-shot to get him here to replace Zimmer?

I thought Fujita should of been cut on the spot midway through the 1st quarter.

This is our biggest issue.

Injuries have hurt us. That's not an excuse, but it IS the reason.

OK, so clue me in, when did you become a Parcells supporter? :)

You, like me, have been on the guy since the start of last season and it seems as if today, you've been defending him.

Oh...and good morning. :D

Or the Giants this past weekend...

THAT was a gutsy performance from a team missing it's LB group and half it's offensive line.

Good teams get beyond that....maybe it's personnel...maybe it's coaching....maybe it's a combination...

But coming out and being dismantled like this team was yesterday isn't about injuries...

I can't stand BP, never wanted him here. Having said that, I'm not gonna bail on the guy after an azz whoopin'.

I'll say it again. I expected this team to be in the 9-7 to 8-8 range and that is where we're headed.

BP does some stupid things. He also supplied us with one helluva good draft last year.

I never wanted the guy here, but now that he is, I am not gonna jump ship after one woopin'. We have tons of injuries.

As do the Eagles. Look what has happened to them.

Should they get rid of Andy Reid?

Too many around here wanted us to go from the basement to the bowl in one season and when it didn't happen (on top of this loss) you get this "Parcells has to go" mentality.

No, I don't like Parcells but this knee-jerk "Parcells has to go" and "the game has passed him by" is lame.

Were these the same people that, at 7-3, we're claiming we we're the best team in the NFC and we were headed toward home field? I dunno. But it's interesting how some react after a few losses.

.........and good morning to you to Sally.

exactamundo

if injuries was an excuse than Campo should still be coaching...that guy had more bad luck with injuries than any coach I have ever seen

agreed with everything till this point...If the guy was not the right guy in your mind then what has he done to make him the right guy now?

Well, then I'm sticking to my "Parcells must go" mantra because I've been saying it for two years. :D

This year's draft? We'll see. I remember how psyched we all were about the 2002 draft. OOOPS.

I see our top picks, Ware, Spears, Canty, getting BLOWN UP in the running game, week in , week out....And I also see ZERO pass rush from them...in fact, literally, we didn't even touch Brunnel yesterday.

I'm not suggesting they were bad picks...not at all...I just think Parcells sucks the energy out of the young guys...makes them play tentatively because they are petrified to make a mistake.

Also, the last three games vs division rivals, Philly, NY, Wash...we got our butts kicked all over the field. We fooled ourselves because we won one of those games and kept the other one close...but it should have been a huge warning bell that we were physically dominated in those games.

As the coach has said to his players, "No matter what you've done in the past, at some point, you have to prove you can still get the job done"

I'm still waiting for this coach to do the same.
