101574, Out of the Bye Week at Dallas

- Looking at this game just solidifies that we're just not that good. Plain and simple we're just not that good.

- Will Montgomery and Kory Lichtensteiger had horrible games. Montgomery cost the team a td on the qb draw because he refused to at least put some pads on Sean Lee, instead he tried to get cute and cut him and lee went right around him and stopped Griff short. Good play call honestly with each defender accounted for but poor execution by Montgomery. Cost us points and basically was the look of how things would play out for the rest of the game. The O line was bad, You get DeMarcus Ware out of the game and you can't stop the pressure from being in Griff's face all night. They looked good in run game with First Round Talent Al.

- First Round was about to really get into a groove and then the game sort of got away from them with poor wr play, Griff missing passes and suspect playcalling. If this team can't keep the run game as part of the game plan they can't win. This much is evident.

- Griff looked spry, looked really good outside of the pocket but again his decision making was poor at times. He was REALLY feeling himself in the zone read to the point where there were times when Al had great running lanes but Griff pulled it back and got killed. I'm not sure if he's holding the ball too strong or what, but those intermediate touch passes are coming out like ducks constantly. He's missing the corner passes and missing open targets. He's not reading at the line either, the cowboys were in straight 4-3 zone, and a very makeable down and distance a draw play is a terrible call. Griff either doesn't have the ability to, or recognized too late that the play wouldn't work and didn't change the play in time. These are things that your franchise qb must do, get you in a better situation based off of the look that the Defense is giving you.

- I don't believe our Special Teams coach will be with the team much longer. This unit is abysmal and in a very winnable game this unit allowed the other team to take the game out of their hands. Huge returns from the other team, and NO positive returns from our side. On top of all that he cost the team 15 yards after they gave up a td because he couldn't get out of the damn way. We really missing Danny Smith this year.

- I wasn't too angry with the D, they didn't play great but played well enough to keep the offense within reach the O just didn't pull their half of the weight. They stopped the run well after injuring Murray which was the only way they were going to stay in that game. D hall played against a beast, but played well for the majority of the game, none of the same can be said about the other kats on the backend. EJ biggers getting beaten alot, David Amerson was knocked CLEAN OUT with a good helmet to helmit, maybe he'll be forced to do some homework and work on his zone technique. To be very honest they played decent, but they again came up with too many mistakes, penalties, and missed assignments. The biggest thing is that if you're going to put pressure on Tony Romo you've got to hit him and get him on the ground, because if he breaks the pocket he will kill you, which he did last night.

- Overall we're not a good team and have a good Bears team coming to town, so its looking like 1-5 coming up real soon kids.

What say you
