You guys kill me.

[Aikmaniac]

Exactly, the chicken little crowd is just too much to handle they want major change anytime we hit a bump in the road thankfully they have no say so about this team. They are entitled to opinions like everyone but to see some of these folks going on and on like they do is almost comical

Dooms, you're missing the point my friend. This is a team built to contend and win games like these. This isn't the team Vinny/Quincy was commanding a couple years ago. Fans are frustrated because the pieces are in place for this to be a very good football team, however we're still finding the same questions are rearing their ugly heads.

The O line sucked at pass blocking yet did pretty good at run blocking but in the critical moments we passed. PLAY CALLING.
Where were the adjustments to find ways to put the lid on McFlabb? I did not see any. ZImmer.
The Hotel is toast against speed rushers. that needs to be faced and TE help must be there- and it wasn't. O line coaching and play calling.
Now to the players: Watkins is a rookie so he gets a pass FOR NOW- but he must show that he can learn from this since other teams will try the same thing.
Already talked about Flo and a hard look needs to be taken there. That said none of the O line seemed to shine today and questions need to be asked.
DB is what he is- rush him hard and he stinks just like most QB's. WHY WAS THE SHOTGUN NOT USED MORE?
Witten is beginning to worry me- ever since he got the big contract he does not seem to have it- maybe the new baby is taking too much of his mind off the job but BP needs to put it to him hard to either produce or put Fasano in as the number one TE.
Roy- we all know that coverage is not his strong suit- put him close tot he LOS and patroll the middle dealing out punishment- do not use him in difficult coverage.
BOttom line is that a lot of this could have been corrected by better coaching- but also some players have to step up.

Or if Bledsoe didn't throw three atrocious picks, have another easy one dropped by Sheppard, and get sacked 7 times.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit there....



And with a halfway competent QB, we probably would have. Same thing in Jax. That's how much talent we have. You're right, the blame gets spread around, but when you throw 3, nearly 4, INTs, and take 7 sacks when your line does actually block pretty well, you deserve the bulk of the blame.

You forgot his 3 fumbles

 

[jwhardin]

One thing i really noticed was on philly's 1st two off plays they went to Ellis's side and he didn't have the speed to contain either play. He better suited for a pass rusher, not as an outside LB. That being said our Dline and blitz schemes are just plain vanilla.

 

[superpunk]

You forgot his 3 fumbles

I don't remember him fumbling three times.

But yeah, I enjoyed those, too.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Blame it on the .... oh screw it the majority of the team stunk it up and we deserved to lose.

 

[superpunk]

I always blame it on Milli Vanilli.

I caught Owens doing a little lip-synching on the sideline.

 

[Kangaroo]

Wait how are we chicken little when it comes to Bledose

Answer me these questions for me

When was the last time Drew was the starting QB for a playoff team

How many Int's has he thrown in the last 5 years

How many fumbles has he had in the last 5 years

How many Olines get thrown under the bus before it's the QB fault

So how am I over reacting when the proof was there the day we signed the choke artist

I'm not missing any point I see a bunch of guys over reacting as you always do I said it last week and here you are just proving the point once again. We lose a game and everyone wants major changed to take place and you don't run a team like that or at least most HC who know what they are doing do not run their team like that. You don't make a change and find out damn that was a big mistake. You make a change do it from the get go or after the season is truely lost but after 4 games sorry I don't think so. I see this as the same mindless over reaction I'm getting accoustom to around here. You guys are emotion driven and thank god you have no say so on what takes place on this team

 

[Doomsday]

I think people just want to see this offense injected with a little bit of energy and think Romo, being how he is, would do that.

He does remind you of a young Favre in his mannerisms.

That is part of it, the other part is Bledsoe is a sitting duck and he doesnt seem to have the ability to get rid of the ball quickly enough when they send more then we can block. I think a lot of just want to see a QB that can counter all the blitzes and make opponents pay. Yea Bledsoe is tough and can take a hit but big deal if you arent completing any passes. Guys like Aikman, Marino etc.. knew how to release the ball quickly to help counter their lack of mobility Bledsoe is always getting hit in the process of throwing and committing turnovers, then he gets happy feet and starts making horrible throws. If Romo is the future then lets get him out there, I dont think there is anyway Dallas can make a run in the post season with Bledsoe at the helm.

Dooms, normally I would agree with you. However, as I tried to make the case earlier, I've hit my patience limit.

It's the same problems over and over again after every loss: the O-line, the safties giving up big plays, no pressure on the opposing QB, and inconsistent QB play on our side.

All of this is accentuated by each and every loss.

We don't seem to be fixing the problems .. at least to a point that we can win against the top-tier teams.

I understand that you want to take an even-keel approach every week when analyzing the game, but it seems to me we have the exact same problems we had 4 years ago.

To me people that continuously defend Bledsoe are comical. Have you ever played your favorite CD expecting it to have new songs on it?

That is how I feel about Bledsoe. I have seen what he has to offer and I firmly believe he is not the answer. I do not see how you can call someone a chicken little, sky is falling overreactor when discussing Bledsoe. He has a solid history of doing what every one on here is complaining about.

4 years ago had Dallas fell behind Philly by 10 with a fumbled punt attemp and the crowd going nuts this team would have folded and been blown out of this game like Philly did to us many times before. Dallas fought hard yesterday but made too many mistakes but in the end it is 1 game and I think it would be foolish to throw the season away and start making major changes this early in the year. I'm disspointed like anyone else is but not to the point that I would pack this season in and start treating it like this is some training camp for next year. You want to make change it starts in the off-season not during the 1st part of a season

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

The Secondary (Hank friggin Baskett???) especially the safeties

Hank Baskett! UNM, I told you guys he was pretty good. Hate the loss but feel real good for a local boy made good in the NFL.

Way to go Hank!

I'm not defending him he made some mistakes yesterday but calling for a major change after 4 games into a season is over reaction in my opinion. You make changes in the off-season not at week 4 or 5 in a season this is not training camp. If you feel different then that is your right but I don't agree and will express that view point that is mine.

So then you think Bledsoe is a SB caliber QB? Can this team win 10-11 games with Bledsoe? If the answer is yes then status quo, If the answer is NO then what?

 

[Bach]

This isn't an isolated incident, it's a trend with Bledsoe. If it were all about just one game then I would agree that people are only overreacting.

But Bledsoe consistantly erratic in big games, especially on the road. As long as we don't have a good legit solid QB, we are only going to contend for a wildcard spot at best. To expect a 9-7ish season isn't being chicken little, it's being realistic.

Bledsoe had this repuation in Buffalo and I know most of them were thrilled when he left and warned us about him. Since he's been here, nothing has changed. Still holds the ball too long, takes too many sacks and makes too many dumb decisions and throws that lead to interceptions. He's good enough to have some good games, especially against inferior opponents, but I haven't seen anything from him in years to suggest he can lead a team into the playoffs and have success while there.

We are what we are, and that's a team with an erratic statue at QB who you can count on to make the huge mistake in the big games at crucial moments.

I think it takes a team to win SB and I don't think this team played well enough yesterday to win this game. Does that mean I bench all of the players and put in backups because we did not play good? I don't think Bledsoe is the second coming of Montana or Aikman but I think he is as good as some others who have helped their teams to SB

That is fine by me as well we are all entitled to our opinions. I just get tired of the if you are critical then you are a chicken little, sky is falling, overreaction fool.

To look at a player who has been in the league over a decade and who is known NATIONALLY for his flaws and then contend that it is irrational to want to see him gone to me is well...irrational.

In most cases I would agree that putting in a new QB after 4 or 5 weeks would be irrational. Except that we are in a unique situation. We have a guy who is seen as the future within the organization. He is not a green rookie. He is in his fourth year in the league. He should be able to transition quite nicely without waiting until next preseason to do so.

Besides, if you think many have high hopes this year next years will be through the roof. Except one thing, Romo will have never played in a game. If you assume that you have to take some lumps transitioning from Bledsoe to Romo then I would rather to that this year.

If you assume there are no lumps to take then why the heck do we need to see Bledsoe another week.

Is this the same team that thought Todd Collins, Rob Johnson, and Losman were the future at QB. Were these the same Bills that ran Doug Flutie out of town?
