Game#3 vs. Arizona Cardinals.

[Mr B]

So are we all in agreement that the Cowboys are done and will be lucky to win 1 more game all season right?

I know the sky is falling. But Arizona is a lot better than people think. They've actually looked really good despite only winning the one game so far. They're honestly a team I'm not looking forward to facing here.

If they can consistently pound the rock like that and play respectable defense then they’ll be a tough out for any team.

Yeah, with our defense, I'm legit worried.

This happens 2-3 times every year the past 4 years. A under maned team with a back up QB kicks our ass. Parsons' and the boys spent all week feeling their oats and talking Super Bowl instead of respecting their opponent and preparing for them.

I expect us to lose most games that the defense and special teams don't play lights out. Was Sunday just a bad game or bad sign? To me it was a bad sign for many reasons. Nothing has changed with the 3 pieces at the top I have been bitching about the past 3 years. The culture is not that of a championship team or organization.

[Micah Prescott]

My take on Arizona is that their secondary was extraordinary. Was very rare to see a receiver without a DB glued right on him.

Hard to judge their running game imo. I don't feel like Conner is all that special though.

Dobbs is also hard to evaluate but he didn't make any mistakes and is probably much better than most assume.

[Micah Prescott]

I still don't understand why Tyler wasn't moved to LT in the absence of Tyron Smith.

Also I'm not feeling that great about D. Bland. He got picked on.

A healthy Tyron and Diggs might have win the game.

Ok with all that said were there any positives? Do you guys see anything that you liked? Personally I like how they are using Hunter Luepke more. He has good size and has some wheels in him. I’d like to see him get a few more touches though. Also I like that he’s wearing #40.

Sorry to get back so late on this one. Had to watch the game again to try and find something. Positive #1 is our kicker. Appears that is no longer an issue and am pleasantly content with Aubrey. Positive #2, Rico Dowdle. He may be small but the kid runs really hard and I love his desire. That is all I could find in the positive department this week.
However part of me is trying to convince myself that this was just a bad game. And it was. But we have seen this movie play out before over the years. usually 4-5 times a year, especially vs. the elite teams and QB's. The other part of me is telling me this is a bad sign. We can get into the details at a later time. Don't want to upset certain people so early in the season.

It’s always good (as a fan) to find some positive out of each game I feel. The kicker has been a surprise after all swing his 1 at kick. Also I agree about Dowdle. Kid has heart.

Yea not sure what that was about. Maybe the backup LG isn’t as good as the backup LT and they felt like the line is stronger with Tyler at LG instead of LT?
