Romo, Dak

[R.J. MacReady]

idiots on every street corner. Romo plays again regardless.

shit...after one game, 7 outta ten radio phone calls, text were saying Elliott is a wasted draft pick.

Better observation...why did Romo seem so disengaged on the sidelines Sunday? That wasn't the case in years past when he was in street clothes. Insecurity in professionals sports never works out. Get with your guy and ask him to put a better effort this week.

100%

Romo is almost always standing right next to Garrett right in the thick of it. He even wears a headset on occasion.

This team seems to have never figured out how to do a screen pass and to whom (Dunbar) in forever. It seems no D coordinator can get this team back to a good defense. Look at Wade in Denver...Jerry keeps ignoring the defense and it shows. He got his shiny new toy in the draft(Elliott) when we did not need him

We kept the Giants to 318 total yards, got an Int, They converted only 5 of 10 3rd downs and kept them to 20 points. All done with guys missing as well.

Of course there are things to fix but was there a 5th quarter we got blown out in that I missed?

Being brutally honest for a second though.....I think Romo's close to done. He reminds me a lot of Kobe right now. His body is breaking down. But, I do want to see him come back and finish the season before we make a final determination on him.

I hate to admit it, but I agree with you. Romo was a great player, but I'm not sure he can withstand any clean hit with his back injuries
Side note, your Raiders are coming along

That fucking game gave more more gray hair....

I'm hoping the defense isn't as bad as it looked. Hoping it was just HOF'er Brees, but I think it's a combination of the two.

Time of possession really skews the defensive results. The Giants only had the ball for 23:17.

You've got a QB...the future is always bright...

Love him and Coop. Those are really brights. And Mack too.


Latavius Murray needs to step up or he could lose his job.

Yep, Carr, Coop, Mack...those are some building blocks there...

The coaching will get them to a certain plateau and then I think we bring in a new coach that can get us over the hump. We'll be a more attractive destination (to coaches) when that happens.

Thinking 9-7, maybe 10-6 the next couple seasons.

 

[UK Cowboy]

I think 9-7 is very attainable

 

[DJ Fieri]

I think 9-7 is very attainable

The schedule isn't that hard at all. Some Silver and Black homers are saying 11-5....while I could see it if everything broke just right,......it never does.

9-7, maybe 10-6. Maybe.

 

[DJ Fieri]

We just need to keep getting better.

 

[DJ Fieri]

But, my other team is.....Dallas. Always liked them.

Do you think dallas has had a good defense in the last five years? You are bragging about total yards and not getting blown out? How many times has this defense when needing a stop at the end of the game including this one, did it???

 

[tomodach10]

The Raiders are great always in the playoffs ...oh wait that was 1970 lol

But the D couldn't stop the RB from getting 8 yards per carry when it had too.

 

[ROMOTOOWENS]

Just read that Dez ran 44 pass patterns. 21 were go routes.

 

[R.J. MacReady]

Exactly ...Big improvements need to made vs the run. Last year proved that. But lets remember this is a passing league. The Boys had the 5th best passing defense in 2015. And that is with a horrible pass rush.

The Cowboys don't have a bad defense. It's average. That is an important distinction.

I know you won't be like the other buffoon on here thinking that you can paint the Cowboys defense with the same "bad" brush over the last 5 years. 2013 makes that impossible.

The 5th best passing defense? Come on man, do you even watch the games? Honest question...

Dallas gave up the 5th fewest passing yards in the NFL in 2015 only because they also had the second fewest pass attempts against. Know why that was? Because the run defense was one of the very worst in the league and couldn't stop anyone.

In 2015 the Dallas pass defense was tied for 10th most yards per attempt against. Dallas was tied for 12th most yards per completion allowed. Overall, Dallas was tied for 8th most yards per play allowed. Dallas had the 8th highest completion % allowed. Opposing QBs had a combined 94.2 passer rating against the Dallas pass defense.

Outside of total pass yards allowed, there is not one statistical category you can point to that shows Dallas' pass defense was even in the top half of the league in 2015, let alone top 5. And remember, this offense limits the exposure of the defense, Dallas had the 10th highest time of possession in the NFL last year.

Fact is this defense has been a bottom 1/3rd unit in the NFL every year we have played the Cover-2, except 2014 when the defense was barely league average - and Dallas led the league in time of possession that season too.

The defense has not gotten it done since 2009.
