Well, my theory about this defense was pretty much confirmed today... they looked slow and and out of sorts, as they did against Arizona and San Francisco. What do all of these stadiums have in common? Real grass. This defense is lethal on turf, but on on grass... not so much.

Fortunately we only have one more game (vs a contender) on grass... Miami.

But in the playoffs on the other hand...uh oh.

I would like to be all mad.

Now, it is just a soft chuckle.

This is what this team does.
It’s to the point where it’s the laundry, not the players and coaches. It’s going to happen because that’s what happens to Dallas.

I mean I'll just say the officials let the Eagles get away with murder. Including a hands to the face that they picked up, which was a legit hands to the face.

And that's coming off an eagles zero penalty game when there were multiple documented uncalled penalties.

Very interesting.

I mean this game doesn't leave me mad. Disappointed we didn't win because I think we should have. But certainly not one worth breaking a TV over or anything.
Wait for those tomorrow.

Fact is, this team is not built to win.

We bank off of opportunities on defense.

If we do not get them, we are not good enough offensively to win games against quality opponents.

That is about as simple as it can be put.

1st and 5 on the 6 my wife and I were discussing that the angles were giving the game away. The Cowboys promptly returned the favor.

I’m honestly not too upset about this game.

Yeah losing sucks but we didn’t lose in the usual Cowboys way.

We played well and had a chance at the end.

I still think the Eagles are overrated and will get exposed at some point and we will have a chance to catch them.

They wont win in Dallas. If the Cowboys play the way they did today they will win that game.

I get your enthusiasm, but it is unfounded.

We couldn't beat that overrated team despite many opportunities.

Is Leighton Vander Esch on hospice or coming back at some point?
I doubt he makes any difference in this game. At this point he's more of a progress stopper to Clark.
