That's not what happened. I have been correctly saying last year was a fluke since that season ended. We had a easy schedule, two rookies nobody had film on caught people napping. It is what it is. We are a 8-8 team that overachieved for one fluke season.
And there was NO SUCCESS! A successful...
It was definitely a reality check. Hey guys, we really don't have all that great of a team and last year was a fluke, we caught a lot of people by surprise.
Need to consider using Zeke's speed on some sweeps instead of the half ass draw type plays we've run so far. Hope we don't just abandon the run.
Dak/Zeke have been down 2 scores before, let's not panic.
Except you have no case to make there. The defense does better when we use clock and protect the ball. It's really simple.
That is why you think this defense was good last year. It really wasn't, it was protected by professional QB play.
All that's granted, but you seem to be trying to make some case that Dak can't throw deep or do quick scoring drives. He did all of that last year. Checked every box there is to check.
The D is for sure not going to hold up if you start doing turnovers.
Let's not revert to the stupidity of the past. Let's eat some game clock keeping their offense off the field giving Marinelli time to make in-game adjustments. Romo was king of the three and outs, how quickly you forget. That is how we wound up IN most of the shootouts to begin with.
Stay...
With this D, let's not panic and start having idiot Romo turnovers and strip-sacks, howbout? This requires a calm, steady and above all patient hand.
I know you long for the days of old, the loser days of old, but they're gone now.
