The defining characteristic of this franchise is that they have been losing for so long and so often they find ways to lose a game even when their ahead 21-0. They have a very difficult time mentally in the red-zone understanding that the offense plays for TDs not FGs. When one group of players play bad one week and they remedy it, the next week another group of players screw things up and they do it at the worst times. We have individuals thinking they are above reproach and the team. After dropping a clear TD with a pass that was thrown right to his hands, Jared Cook goes after Austin Davis on the sidelines and shoves him. If I am Fisher, I suspend Cook for awhile without pay to let him deflate his obviously big head.
Fisher is clearly clueless on how to get the best of his players because he chooses the wrong players on his roster when the choice is very clear and right in front of him. Or he sits number one picks on the bench without reason to play a veteran in Joseph who has been anything but steallar. Fisher has failed at teaching mental discipline to his players, how to set your play to a high standard, and how to have pride in your performance to at least be professional and do your job no matter what and every down.
WE fans have watched time-and-time again in yet another season players just playing willy-nilly and effing things up to the point of chaos and attempting to appear like they know what they are doing when they don't. We continue to have coaches who are clueless at running a team or a calling a game and they contribute to this mess by not having a reasonable direction and a purpose to why they are even coaching a team or what they are trying to accomplish with a young team that has talent but are taught in the ways of mediocrity and losing.
This is a very poor team because of this conflagaration of the above factors that all result in another losing season. We are rapidly heading toward the statistical predicted outcome of this season of 2-14 because what we witnessed today as well as the collective mindset that permeates this franchise in St. Louis is not a functional one that has winning as its goal:
On Offense: The Positives. The O-line played relatively well except for Scott Wells and gave Austin Davis time to get the offense going. Austin Davis had a pretty darn good game. His first 300-yard passing game in his second start and he routinely led the offense down the field on drives that were extensive and relatively mistake-free. He finished the day going 30/42 for 327 total yards compared to Romo's 18 of 23 for 217 yards. Jared Cook was high man for the receivers going 7 for 75 yards even though he dropped a sure TD. Kenny Britt had a pretty good day going 5 for 69 yards. Stacy was went 12 carries for 67 yards to Murray's 24 carries for 100 yards. Austin Davis is the QB we need right now because of his confidence, his decision-making, his ability to sustain drives, and his mobility and passing accuracy when he has to run. Today's loss was not on him even though he had two INTs.
On Offense: The negatives. We had two INTs by Davis and one fumble by Wells. With approximately five minutes to go before the half, the offense was in a position to get us close for a field goal when Scott Wells had a mental error and hiked the ball into the ground causing a fumble which was recovered by Dallas. That mistake set in a motion a 34-3 scoring sequence that went into the second half. Also, Jared Cook dropped a 10-yard sure TD pass and then had the audacity to shove Austin Davis on the sidelines after he was told to catch the damn ball!! These are the sorts of mental weakness and mistakes this team has routinely exhibited that turns a 21-0 lead into a 34-24 deficit.
On Defense: The Positives. Janoris Jenkins had a good game in the first half today by baiting Dez Bryant and Romo into thinking he had dropped off on a pass play and then turned it into a pick six. Olgetree and Laurinaitus were the top tacklers but there wasn't much else positive here.
On Defense: The negatives. This defense gave up another 100-yard rushing performance from an opponent RB and they routinely gave up big plays all day. The vaunted D-0Line was once again missing. In one series in the second half, they gave up two third down conversions that allowed Dallas back in this game and at one point Dallas scored on six straight possessions. Since signing his big contract extension, Robert Quinn has been a no-show this year. He was owned all day by an also-ran LT of Dallas and we had zero sacks today-NOT ONE!!
We have two sacks in just three games as a defense and only one by the D-line. The same Janoris Jenkins who had an earlier pick six in the game got beat badly by Dez Bryant in the second half because the DC Williams called a run blitz that confused Jenkins and Bryant was wide open for the TD. This defense was a complete comedy of errors and Dallas took advantage of it. In fact, this defense has regressed under Williams tutelege and is worse than last year. They can't stop the run and their ability to make plays is always overshadowed by some screw-up that costs us big yardage or eventually points.
STs. Just when you thought the special teams were O.K. and after a decent day of staying mistake free, with less than four minutes to go and badly needing a score, the STs on a KO return get a holding penalty that makes the offense's job that much harder by setting the starting point on the 15 yard line rather than the 25.
Next week we have a bye
. WE all get a break from this lunacy and I think we all need one. So, go enjoy what every gives you good vibes because this team sure as hell are not going to provide that in two weeks when our season gets that much tougher.

I think the Rams are better (with davis)and the defense will straighten out. My biggest look this next two weeks is if Fisher goes to Hill, if he does, a moron he is and a packing he will go with the fans.
