Re: Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread
 

I personally do not like to watch Thursday Night Football. The quality of the product the NFL outs on the field on Thursday night is just awful. Players bodies do not recover enough from the pounding the previous Sunday. The road team has a travel day, and there is not enough time to prepare. And it shows in every TNF game. Have not seen one yet I would call 'a classic'. But there are 32 teams in the league and all 32 have to play a Thursday game. Some, like Dallas, have to play two Thursday games in a season.

Re: Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread
 

I just cannot get over the difference in our offense inside and outside the RZ. I am more comfortable at 3-16 around midfield than at 1st and goal at the goal line.
No team has ever put up those kind of numbers on offense and lost I think I heard???? No turnovers and over 500 yards total offense and we lost?????

Is the consensus that Dallas D has more talent than we do?

Lee the LB is very good but other than him, I don't believe they have much.

They are extremely well coached and stop the run first.

I agree. Marinelli is a much better DC than Barry.

Re: Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread
 

The Cowboys played a good game and didn't make many mistakes. Really none on offense.

We could have played a lot better and left a lot of points on the board.

Dallas is a really good team. And we only lost by 5.

We're right there. A few pieces away on defense and some serious red zone issues to work out. They really need to scrap the whole RZ playbook and create a brand new one. And it better not include any direct snaps to the RB.

Sandtrap, please beat the Giants and Eagles! We would be much obliged.

[quote=OmahaRedskins;1157053]How did they sit on their hands last year? Are we not better this year than last year? You can only fill so many holes. As long as Scot M and team are still here, we will be better next year. We have two rookies playing significant minutes on defense. We have two people on pace for double digit sacks. When was the last time we had that?

The Kyshoen Jarrett injury really hurt the depth at CB and Safety.[/quote]

Clearly we didn't do enough on the dline. Wil Compton is a nice player, but that shit yesterday convinced me we need to upgrade. Strong safety, better than last year, but still not there. Cravens is great. Preston smith was fairly bad yesterday.

Not at all, they just have a top 3 d coordinator in league. Coaching matters. Fact

Re: Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread
 

Really, really bummed today. The first three drives sunk us by simply not converting drives into TD'S.

It was the worst our RZ offense has looked in a while. Once we got inside the 10 we just simply self destructed. "oh know! we're near the goal line what the f*** do we do now??? Better call a timeout!" "No ... I know! Let's try a direct snap!!"

On defense, just a general lack of team speed and no real every down playmakers in the center of the field.

Still ... we have a good team and a solid shot at the playoffs this year.

Gotta get back up and play two tough road games. I still believe this is a solid team and better times are on there way.

DAK is Alex smith , ive said it all yr long. Not hating on the guy he does a great job at managing the game.

Preston Smith and Kerrigan are very similar players (big guys that really only have 1 move), obviously Kerrigan is better, but their style is the same. You could say the same about Murphy. We need a speed rusher. I believe they will draft an OLB.

Based on watching our defense next year, there aren't many guys that I think should be starting on a playoff caliber team.

CB - Norman
CB - Breeland
FS - Draft or Free Agent
SS - Draft or Free Agent
OLB - Draft or Free Agent
MLB - Cravens
MLB - Draft or Free Agent
OLB - Kerrigan
DE - Draft or Free Agent
NT - Draft or Free Agent
DE - Baker

Now, I'm not saying all of these will actually happen, but I could see a lot of guys being replaced. Depending on how Fuller plays the last 5 games, we might also need a new slot CB.

Basically need a lot of help right down the middle.

C'mon, he's better in his rookie year than Smith is now. He looks like a great QB so far.

Next years draft should be all D. DL, S, ILB, OLB/DE

Yeah, obviously BPA plays a major role in the draft, hence how we got Doctson, but in an ideal world the BPA (or very close to the BPA) are all defensive players. I really don't see any holes on our offense that need to be replaced now that Long has been established as a solid center. I trust Scott to get the job done for next year.
