First half we certainly looked competitive. Had a pathetic ref call gone our way it may have been a widely different score the first half.

Just a matter of learning and getting better from this. Mistakes and turnovers we made were easy fuel for the high powered Dallas offense. 

They adjusted at halftime and we didn't. Felt like the good old days again.

My concern is that we didn't look like we belonged on the field with them until they bafflingly went prevent and rested their best DB late.

Did you only watch the 3rd quarter?

We absolutely looked like we belonged the 1st half, especially with the way the refs walked the cowboys down the field for a TD and took away a fumble at the 50....

So we didn't look like we belonged on the field with them in the first half where we led by 1 despite them starting with the ball and having a TD handed to them? We had a series of events that spiraled out of control briefly in the 3rd quarter, not really that big of a deal in the bigger picture.

Very true. Also what didn't help was giving them easy field position. That avalanche began with that missed FG, then the turnovers afterwards. They feast on that.

That should be priority number 1 of fixing: gotta stop making silly mistakes like that. Hope Rhule understands that as well.

That’s not true.  We were leading at the half despite them being gifted a TD.  We won 3 of 4 quarters.  The 3rd quarter was simply historically bad…and it all started with a missed FG.

In my mind, second half coaching and adjustments are as big a concern as the OL.

Yep. That call for a FG was boneheaded as they come. Awful call and momentum shifter, gifting the Cowboys easy field position.

Gotta learn to not give opponents those fruitcakes and be that risky.

We didn’t get outplayed, we got out coached. It happens this staff is young. We will come back from this. We are a borderline playoff team. That in itself us exciting. This year isn’t SB or bust. Learn from mistakes and come back next week and do better.

That field goal call completely changed the game. I couldn't believe Rhule called for that.

I catch myself guilty of that thinking too. But then I remember that we were literally leading at halftime even though Dallas was gifted a possession that led to a td on that abysmal forward progress ruling. The 3rd quarter was about as abysmal as it gets, starting with the missed fg and followed by 2 interceptions that led to short fields and TDs. But don't let that make you forget that for 3/4 of the game, we played with a lot of fight and hell, arguably looked like the better team.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
