THE OFFICIAL 2024 - 2025 DALLAS COWBOYS SEASON THREAD || 4-7 Next Game 11/28 vs. Giants Vol. Thanksgiving

mpire · Nov 24, 2014

@Peteweezy, yep as RULE. I went a little more in depth on there and I could make it more comical because of the smilies :lol

Great win by the Boys. Giants played hard and it was close. Could easily be 7-4 right now.

Gotta love the double standards when it comes to Dez. ODB mocks Dez's TD celebration (hell, EVERY opponent does after they score against the Cowboys) and Dez does it back and gets bashed to no end. Let that be Gronkowski mocking somebody though and I bet everything would be gravy.

Anyone know the extent of Scandrick's injury? I know that he came back but he didn't look himself. Need everyone fully healthy for this Thursday.

We seriously need to get some pressure on the QB. The fact that the GMen's starting oline was full of backups and Eli was upright for the most part is disturbing. This defense is actually not very good at all but because of the type of offense we have, it doesn't get exposed as much as it probably should.

Need the gif of Dez hitting the whip dance asap :lol

The defense isn't all that different from last year the offense just controls the clock most games so they really only need to make a few plays per game

The defense is way better than last year. The players are in better position, they aren't allowing a lot of runs after the catch and don't miss a lot of tackles. The defense is also forcing more turnovers.

They got a timely INT on Eli last night and also should have gotten a fumble recovery but the refs missed the call.

Last years defense would have been run out of the building last night.

great come from behind win... love how we stayed so calm & poised on that last drive. our o-line looked flawless & really allowed romo to flourish. our defense did a great job of getting the necessary stops too.

thursday is going to be a fun game :Nthat

blackboyfly · Nov 24, 2014

Yeah this D is vastly better than last years. You can come up with any excuse you want, but at the end of the day the D is giving up 6 less points then they did last season. Add Sean Lee, an improved Hitchens (what a surprise he's been) and a pass rusher next year and this D can be decent.

jthagreat · Nov 24, 2014

We are looking good against the run, but our 3rd down defense is atrocious. We gotta do better.

Romo had a great game, Eli gifted us one, allowing us back in (even tho the refs took away a forced fumble...football gods?)

Dez showing out, Murray totin that rock and holding on to it.

Wanna see us keep running. get Twill and Beas a few touches.

hadowajp · Nov 24, 2014

You can say whatever you like but this d isn't any better than last year they're just on the field less and still giving up 350+ yards per game with almost zero pass rush the six less points per game are due to the fact we have the ball for 6 more min per game this year

Carr is complete trash, cant pressure the quarterback don't let the rose colored glasses fool you. Thursday will be a challenge for this defense even with wack *** Sanchez

Saw adjustments Monday night. That's beautiful.

If it's one thing I've hated during the Garrett era is the lack of in game adjustments.

Gotta give credit where it's due, Garrett has come leaps and bounds in that area as well as his clock management.

va757va · Nov 25, 2014

Romo has been on fire since week 1.

21 tds to 3 ints.
Second in qb rating.
Third in qbr.
Second most accurate qb in the league.
And most importantly he's been CLUTCH.

But what's new.

jmause3 · Nov 25, 2014

I think the defense has been better this year, not saying great, but better IMO. Last year i dont think we get pick to end the Seahawks game, i dont think we get the pass rush and sacks on Eli before the end of the first half and would have given up points.

We still arent getting off the field on third down like we should. Mincey, Crawford, and Melton are playing very good lately. Durant was balling before he got hurt, McClain is playing great. I dont like our tackling after the catch still.

Wilcox has been an upgrade this year too. Carr has been awful.

Like i said we arent the 85 Bears, but i think its better than last years defense.

I really like the effort they aren't giving up on d at least

Third down they are actually worse then last year

They just have less opportunity to screw up

the linebackers have played well considering two out of three weren't supposed to play outside of special teams

The effort is there the talent not so much, if they can add a top pick on the line and a decent cb or safety they can be good

Sorry for the ****** discussion go cowboys

Hey man we dont have amything else to talk about during the week :lol

.

But im with you we need to get corners in the draft and another pass rusher. Spencer will probably be gone after this year.

Thursday will be huge for us.

Yes on Thursday it will be big hopefully to big for Sanchez

If we win special teams I believe we can win the game

The way I see it they almost have to keep Milton at this point

I'm not a fan of the Melton extension for 9M?? He seems to be coming on now down the stretch but if he doesn't restructure that or take a new one the I would have to let him walk unfortunately.

I see your point but what's the market going to be like with suh's deal it will be inflated for interior d line I'd rather have him at 5 but we shall see

This defensive line needs some continuity and a mother whole new group could be bad (or good seeing as they're playing like trash, but, better then I expected)

Suh is about to be the highest paid defensive player in NFL history.

Did he even play versus NE last week?

He balled out last week as usual but the Patritos went no huddle with short passes and it neutralized him to an extent.
