You have to fire Eberflus

[nhcowboyfan]

All I’m asking for is players know where to be.

That’s not a big ask & if they don’t know where they are supposed to be consistently then you got a coaching issue.

We are letting guys run free.

The TDs to tightend Kmet and WR Moore were so easy most of us on this forum could have made those throws. I have always hated zone. Grass/turf can't score, so defending a patch of it has never made any sense to me

 

[Rockport]

I don’t think his presence would garner a W. But I’d have to think he would have got some pressure

Heck his presence didn’t help GB to beat Cleveland but Cleveland at least has a good defense

He definitely would’ve got some pressure.

 

[kramskoi]

I’m glad they did. He wouldn’t make a difference in the big picture.

I would've argued against this opinion even a week ago but after today? The big picture is looking pretty bad. I will say that the Parsons thing is looking better with each passing week. The issues on the back end with Elam and Diggs is disturbing. It may be that you have to spend one of those #1 picks on at least one top flight CB...especially if Diggs goes the "Gallup" route. Overshown, Bland and Clowney might stop it from becoming a total chit-show...but I wouldn't bet any money on it. It's becoming increasing clear that the Cowboys are probably not going to be good this year. And as I opined before, the window for Prescott is probably closed now. The loss of Parsons pretty much sealed it. If the Cowboys were built on offense the way they were in 2014 they'd have a decent chance. But they are not. They don't run the ball exclusively and falling behind early in games definitely won't help matters. It will fall on Prescott almost every week to carry the team...something you really don't want happening.

Jerry and Stephen has to fire this scheme it wasn't successful with Monte, Marinelli, or Eberflus. This is insanity and terrible GM'ing, the scheme is outdated, and Eberflus is washed along with this scheme.

Ive always said this tampa 2 thing was outdated and done you CANNOT run it as a main defense, its a switch up to confuse the offense for a play or two

As a base defense? It sucks

 

[RonWashington]

I was listen to the game on the radio and when Brad Sham says it's BAD....you no its REAL BAD. This is Mike Nolan BAD.

Rod Marinelli Rob Ryan bad

 

[CCBoy]

Based on how totally unprepared his group looks, you have to be considering it.

Can Jerry even swallow his pride after declaring his backing setting a GM standard of at least 3 seasons for a Head Coach. I say no.

Smart would be going with a high draft pick and trade for some high picks next draft. He presently has very talented and gutless players led in a sandbox.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I feel like he was forced on Schottenheimer because he knew the Jones’s.

We slowly went back in time to doing the Marinelli zone coverage garbage.

If Dallas doesn’t fire him tomorrow then don’t take this team serious going forward.

I know some of you want to blame players but you don’t have this many coverage busts & explosive plays with it being the players.

They’re clearly poorly coached & you can’t even accurately judge guys if they aren’t where they are supposed to be.

Brother, I said that last Sunday. Eberflus should have been fired after last Sunday's horrible showing against Russell Wilson and the Giants at our home. Yet, here we still are once again a week later with the same result.

Rod Marinelli Rob Ryan bad

We've gone full Monte Kiffen

 

[Pentagruel]

I don’t think I have ever seen a defense with so many open receivers on all sides. They are literally on an island like the defense is repelled as magnets from the receivers.

Three games is very early to be firing anyone but sometimes it’s just obvious you have hired the wrong guy and even if you can only replace him internally or with a replacement level guy that would probably be a big improvement to what we are seeing right now.

 

[RonWashington]

We've gone full Monte Kiffen

Yes Dr it’s that bad

 

[Captain-Crash]

yeah, I'd move him up to HC.

 

[amame25]

Why they traded their best
Defender a week before the season

you mean the one who hasn't done **** since he went to GB? That guy?

 

[pitt33]

And why in the world is Shemar James still a healthy scratch . Make Damone your inactive LB

Damone Clark blows.

Another McClay bust.

And he’s had plenty on that side of the ball.

 

[RonWashington]

When Jerry hired Eberflus my reaction was why ? Chicago was a bad resume builder . Dennis Allen a local guy ( Hurst Tx ) would have been a better choice .

 

[kramskoi]

He definitely would’ve got some pressure.

Might be time to simply admit it's a rebuild year and try to bounce back in '26. While I do lament the loss of Parsons, the back end of the defense is a hot mess right now. Parsons couldn't save Green Bay today. It may be that Eberflus simply doesn't trust either Elam OR Diggs at this point...given how far they are playing off the ball. Contrast this to the '21-'22 defenses. Eberflus being the third DC in three seasons isn't helping things. Maybe you parlay all those draft picks into a new safety, cornerback and edge rusher.

 

[RonWashington]

I look at Revel with the knee as a corner and I’m afraid of the Jaylon Smith experience . I sure hope Bland can play at least one of the corner spots against GB . Put Reddy Steward on the other side .

 

[JayFord]

playing a cover 2 zone at the goalline has to be the stupidest thing ive ever seen in my life

And he doubled down on it and did it twice

I didnt see 1 of Calebs touchdowns that he actually had to work for

[big dog cowboy]

If Dallas doesn’t fire him tomorrow

They won't fire him. They just won't.

 

[JayFord]

They won't fire him. They just won't.

They should

Whooooooo in their right mind calls cover 2 that close to the endzone TWICE with the middle of the endzone completely empty
