Line not blocking or WR's not getting open?

[gowazzu02]

Either way, this is our second loss, where the O had the ball with under 4 minutes to go and they go 4 and out .......

Is it a WR issue, Is it a Line issue, is is a QB issue?

We made Dallas D look like the 85 bears yesterday.

All of the above, IMO.

Wilson probably had his worst game as a pro yesterday.

Receivers aren't getting enough separation, and the playcalling is putting them in a difficult spot as well (WTF was that silliness to Walters behind the LOS?!).

And the O-line is still going through stages where guys are getting free runs at Russ, although IMO, they're improving.

Giving up 3rd and 14 and 3rd and 20 is unacceptable.

All of the above. It wasn't one thing, it was everything.

Wilson was clearly not as effective in the many broken plays as he typically is. Some of those throw aways were the fault of the line and others the receivers.

On that day the Dallas defensive line just outplayed ours and their coverage was great. They picked a hell of a time to come together as a unit given their stats say they haven't been a great defense as a whole all year.

What they did do very well as opposed to Seattle was tackle at the point of contact. The Seahawks struggled at times to get guys down on first contact and Dallas didn't.

Seattle's defense has been exposed. They are quick and athletic, but against the huge O-lines of San Diego and Dallas, they are not as strong or effective, and get pushed around.

Hardly, The defense is battling injuries, and Dallas did a good job of makign some miracle converts.

A little over exaggerated there. If they hold on 3rd/20 and Seattle wins no one is saying the same thing. To that point Murray had 65 yards on 23 carries. It's not like that defensive line was blow up and destroyed all day.

KJ had a bad day and losing bobby hurt worse than people probably know. It was obvious how bad things were after Maxwell got hurt.

The big difference this year vs last year with this team is the lack of depth in some positions. They lost some outstanding depth guys to FA last off season and it shows now with some of the injuries.

But for the special team's performance, it would have been a blowout.

If it wasn't for x it would have been...

Is said in every NFL game decided by one score or less. Turnovers and special teams play is part of the game.

Dallas came in with one of the top offenses in the league. Your defense kept them to 20 until that 3rd down play that appeared to break them. That's not being dominated all day.

It's just amazing how far people go in over reactions. If they had won on that last series the over reactions would be going the other way.

Agree, you can't do the "if you take away that one big run" or "if you take away the ST play"

How about this. If we take away the punt block score. We get the ball run a 15 play, run dominated drive and the game is compeltely different.... Can't do it one way and not the other.
