Except... when this team doesn't throw the ball well, we don't abandon the passing game. Garrett deserves the blame for this. Force feed Barber if need be. Our OL needs to get a better push.
There was no viable excuse to not run the football in that game. I don't care if it was unproductive early on, that's no excuse to abandon it completely.
Agreed. Our OL is huge. Wear down their DL. Run. Keep the ball in the hands of our offense. Run. We did neither.
This team's really handled that loss terribly. T.O. complains about the gameplan, leading Wade Phillips to point to Romo's audibling, leading Romo to pin it on the running backs. They're just feeding the media frenzy.
I'm relatively sure the Cowboys will bounce back on Sunday. The Bengals defense is atrocious in every sense of the word, and if we don't have a big day, I'll be shocked.
I hope so. But this could be a hornet's nest, too. Johnson and the Bengals are plenty upset with their 0-4 start. They have nothing to lose anymore. They will be on a big stage. And they do have talent - offensively. That being said, our offense should easily be able to hang up a bigger number than their offense. Their defense is atrocious. Ours is merely struggling.
