This week's result: Cowboys lose to the Packers: 35-31
2017 Regular Season Record: (2-3) 2017 Division Record: (1-0)
Next Week: BYE, then @ 49ers
Once again, DO NOT GIVE AARON RODGERS EXTRA TIME. Apparently, no one in the organization has learned this.

It was the pass play on 2nd down that was incomplete. That saved Rodgers about 35-40 sec, or their last TO. As soon as that happened, I knew that was a mistake.

The stupid 2nd down play where they passed the ball is more concerning. You don't throw the ball in that situation. You run the ball after Zeke just ran for 8 yards and get the first down. Forcing the Packers to use their last timeout. The next play, which would be a run most likely and if stopped, uses more clock. If Dallas eventually scored, the Packers have little time to mount that comeback. But this stupid coaching staff got cute and out thinks it self once again. They have done this constantly the last few years and it's a staple of Jason Garrett led offenses and teams. You know your defense sucks and you know they have Aaron Rodgers.
I'm done. I hate stupid coached teams and the Dallas Cowboys are a stupid coached team.
Another close loss at home for the Boys. This coaching staff just don't get it. Haven't they learned to NOT give Rodgers time on the clock. We just cant keep losing these close conference games. I don't think Boys will make playoffs this year. We still have 5 division games left (2 with Eagles and 2 with Skins).
I even watched a video of Rob Ryan (our former d coordinator) go in on the last Packer TD drive and how poorly our LBs and DBs played and how bad the d coordinator and scheme was. He said Boys made it too easy for Rodgers.
I hope fans realize how much Romo had to go thru being QB for this team and how its gonna happen to Dak. Romo may have made those jaw dropping picks and mistakes at times but with our lackluster defense and poor o-line play...it puts too much on the QB. Our offense cant just be good or great...but it has to be flawless to win games. Offense gonna have to score 35 or even 40+ points to win games, especially against good to great teams.
dont forget that there is a lot of inexperience on the cowboys right now, lots of first and second year guys tryinng to get the job done, while learning on the job. and also dont forget that the cowboys have to deal with a lot of injuries as welll in the defensive secondary, as well as the linebacker corps.
s sure the defense could be better, much of that change is going to come through experience though, as well as trades, free agents, and the draft.
and the offense is also going to get better over time. i think once the crap that elliot is going through right now is done with, his game will pick up without that extra stress on him. the offensive line is starting to gel again, and tehy are getting back to what they were last year, again young players in different positions than they are used to playing. i mean take a right guard and put him at left tackle and he has to learn the new position. keep moving him around though an dhe is constantly learning new positions, that also takes a toll on young players.
I agree there is a lot of inexperience (rooks and 2nd year players) on the team right now. That's why its key to develop and properly coach players. That's an area the Boys are lacking in.
Jaylon Smith looked ok first game...but since then...I donno. He is getting a lot of focus right now. He had a bad injury and probably will never be the same as he was with ND.
I don't think Scandrick will be on team next year. He just hasn't looked the same since 2014 and had that season ending injury in 2015. Its puzzling how some of our former secondary players like Church, Carr, Claiborne and Wilcox look better when going to other teams. I know they may have more talent around them like the Jags D for example. Makes u wonder about our scheme and is Marinelli utilizing players to the best of their abilities.
i do question marinellis defensive scheme from time to time for sure, i think it spends too much on the back end of the defense, ie trying pressure the receivers, as oppose to containing the quarterback and getting pressure on them.
you can only defend a receiver for so long before they start getting separation from the defenders, and when you have quarterbacks like like rodgers and prescott who are mobile, you have to pressure them and contain them in the pocket, or they will hurt you badly.
i have noticed that a delayed blitz was effective against rodgers, when the containment was there. of course one also has to be aware of screen passes that will also hurt you.

AR licks his lips and rubs his tummy when playing the Dallas pass D.
Another weakness of Marinellis' is he doesn't adapt his scheme to his players like he should ... he's just too rigid.
Also, Heath and Smith are hurting us, Scandy is slower, and Lee being out has cost us probably 2 games. Heath is abominable. A stud safety would help our team soooo much!

That Tampa 2 scheme is so outdated. Marinelli needs to put a scheme and play calling to work best with the strengths of our players. U cant just let good to elite QBs just keep slicing and dicing the Boys D. The team/coach/Jerry decided to stay with Dak last year. He a 2nd year QB and u cant expect him to always try to play Superman like Romo did to win games...I feel for Dak because he is expected to do what Romo did and he only on his 2nd year.
That injury is preventing Smith from reaching his potential and Lee being out hurts for other linebackers. Heath isn't playing well this season and O Scan just haven't been the same since his 2015 injury. Anthony Brown has been beat a lot this season as well but Lewis and Woods look promising. Yes a stud safety would help...Boys very weak in that area.
