Unless JG oversees a special season, I would make Richard the nes HC. The dude has it. We have been down this road before with Payton and Zimmer
yeah BP set us back aways on the coaching front.

yeah when they make contact they are going backwards, giving up a lot of extra yards.

I have reserved excitement from the offseason even now. 1st it is just preseason, then it is just the Giants.

but am I being unfair to our defense?

For some reason, I just get the feeling it will look like it did maybe not as bad but similar as the season goes on (fools gold) but again, am I being to harsh?

Right now only 2 teams has given up less points than the Cowboys.

the Obvious team Rams with only 13 pts given up
The Skins with 27
& then the Cowboys with 29 points.
4th Dolphins with 32
rounding out the top 5 Jags with 35

No matter what, being in the top 3 in all of the NFL is worthy of giving credit where it is due.

I just cant shake the feeling. But I do like the pressure we are getting on QBs which is refreshing.
Also like the combo of LBs this season. So I should feel good realistically, but I feel like I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop. We are not a shoot out team, so it is important our Defense holds up this season.

So can someone please put my mind at ease & explain why I should think it is for real?

Cowboys D played good, the offense gave them no support.

They really did. They wore down a tad the one drive, maybe it was because of no Sean Lee. Wilson made some great throws to beat our Safety. I thought Seattle played a really smart offensive game. They didn’t give up on the run. Their protection was good as well for the most part.

That defense did not play good IMO. They made too many bone headed plays and missed tackles. The offense was more disappointing, but not happy with the defense, especially safties. And on top of that Lee may be gone again for more games:L

It wasn’t their best game but Seattle rushed 40 times for less than 120 yds. Wilson hit a 2-3 big pass plays , two of which went for TDS. We made them punt 8 times. That’s pretty good.

The bad- 7/16 on 3rd downs allowed. As good as our pass rush has been, I thought the Hawks OLine did extremely well today. Not much noise outside of Tank maybe. The 3rd and 12 run with about 3 minutes left. Slim chance to win there yes, but this was the nail

That has been an ongoing problem with this defense for years, cant get off the field on third down. When They do make a play on third down, it is taken away by a stupid penalty.

Your run D was pretty solid. I think the pass D needs some help.
