Week Three: Dallas Cowboys vs. Chicago Bears

[dbair1967]

Great one handed snag by Pickens for TD

 

[English Cowboy]

Pickens abusing ex-Cowboy Nahshon Wright.

 

[Doomsday]

Hindsight is 20/20, but lining up your best WR in the backfield and handing off to him on an outside run seems like a dumb play call. Risk

Is that what happened?

 

[dbair1967]

If we only had a defense.

Not really sure they can do anything to fix it right now, they need alot. Bland coming back will help and Revel will probably be good (next yr), but they need safeties bad and another CB or two, plus a legit pass rusher.

Overshown could be a boost but coming off two major knee injuries there's certainly no guarantee he will be much of a help this yr.

The safeties just need to trust the corners and LBs and not let anybody past them, stop worrying about the underneath stuff. They were caught as lookie-lous twice last week and on one of them today.

 

[Doomsday]

Give up 41 on a basic screen play then 15 on a simple end around.

 

[English Cowboy]

3rd & 9. Give up 41. SMH!!!

 

[Doomsday]

Blech

 

[dbair1967]

Now 4 passes over 31 yds completed in the first half against us.

It's like 11 on 7 every fucking play it seems.

 

[English Cowboy]

Lucky that was a terrible throw by Williams or that was another Bear TD.

 

[dbair1967]

Williams on pace to throw for close to as many yards as Russell Wilson did.

It's like we combined the worst of the worst of Rob Ryan, Monte Kiffin and Mike Nolan for this defense.

 

[dbair1967]

Lucky that was a terrible throw by Williams or that was another Bear TD.

No pass rush to speak of and coverages as soft as kleenex.

The safeties and LB's cannot cover anyone or play in space a lick.

 

[Doomsday]

Eberflus simply has GOT to stop the hemorrhaging. We're gushing out yards and points.

The safeties have to do their job though - which is to prevent anyone taking the top off.

 

[dbair1967]

Lousy call on 3rd and long with TE screen to a guy who doesnt have much speed at all.

Too much pressure on the offense to be perfect and have to score every damn time.

as much chance of me winning the Powerball as that happening

 

[English Cowboy]

Turpin didn't take that last kick-off return. Schotty being cautious because we can't afford another receiver to go down?

They aren't capable. Too fucking slow and no range.

Don't know why they refuse to play Juanyeh Thomas back there, at least on obvious pass downs. He has range and he makes plays on the ball.
