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.

      Nic Scourton- PFF Highest Rated Rookie (Week 5)

      By Icege · Posted

      I wish I could gaslight myself into believing the same, but Eric Eager wasn't even mentioned until two posts before mine here on page five after the initial pivot to complain about Bryce on page one. Considering the views some of those involved have shared regarding PFF + Dan's involvement on Fitterer's team and... well... Regardless of all of that, Nic Scourton looked really good against the Dolphins. He was setting the edge well and even looked decent in coverage when required to drop back. He was destroying the right side of the Dolphins' OL and even got the best of the LT on several occasions. Seeing what Nic's doing on the field is likely what Evero was hoping DJJ could develop into when they took him. The team also isn't using him as much on special teams (hasn't logged a punt team snap since week 2 but is still part of the FG blocking unit). Completely different players and playstyles, but Scourton's motor and ability to remain constant while opposing OL start to gas out in the late game reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson.

      Shaq Thompson’s house

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I say he's a run of the mill starter. You say he has had a decent career. We're saying the same thing. I never had any issues with Shaq. My issues were with the Panthers in that one, we drafted a player in the 1st round at a position of our greatest strength when there were options available that would've provided us with more initial help. You make a move like that because you think a guy is special, that he's by far and away the best talent available. Two, after he had proven to be good but not great (basically a run of the mill starter) on the field, we turn around and pay him like he's a future HOFer. These aren't issues with Shaq. They're issues with the organization.

      😆If you're not elite or a potential HOFER, then LG calls you "run-of-the-mill" or "meh." Shaq has had a decent career---better than many longtime starters, but not everyone is built to be worthy of the Hall Of Fame.
