For a 3 win team fan base you guys sure are confident about a win tomorrow.

I'm less confident, I expect the Cowboys to establish the run on offense and keep our D off balance with play action. Mike Zimmer is gonna throw a curveball and NOT blitz but instead rush 4 exclusively and play cover 2 forcing Bryce into checkdowns. 

Cowboys 20

Panthers 14 

I tried to tell ya you wouldn’t listen 

Bryce and the team were due for a step back 

Don’t overreact we’re still on the right track

The good: Coker continues to impress, didn't hurt our draft position 

The bad: run game was nonexistent and abandoned early

The ugly: everything,  just everything else. The d was putrid again as Cooper f'ing rush threw 3 tds and we had yet another rb go over 100, xl pulled a houdini and vanished,  the o line played bad, bad Bryce showed up and nuked any momentum we got with costly turnovers 

The next game will be telling. Will Bryce bounce back or will he fall back into his bad habits

What the Cowboys did was keep the pressure on and not let Bryce pad his stats late and get the Panthers back into the game.  Most teams have played passive defensively with a late lead and Bryce has been able to generate those 4th quarter drives.  Yesterday, the Cowboys kept after him and he crumbled.  No soft shell coverage to prevent an over the top play and allow Young to operate the underneath portion of the field.

There's the blueprint to beat Bryce v2.0.  I had mentioned that a team would exposed "new Bryce" eventually and it didn't take long.

Yeah the offense for the past five weeks has been death by a thousand cuts underneath until the fourth when the defense is too tired/drops a safety down, then try a 25 yard bomb against man coverage.

Dallas just clogged the middle and dared the panthers to beat them deep early and Carolina can’t. Obviously the Coker play was a blown coverage and a fluke.

Cooper Rush arguably had a better game against the panthers than b young has ever had.

I said it yesterday but we lost this game on the first drive. That fumble took away our shot to play with a lead and dictate the game. The defense is too porous and injured to play from behind. 

If Bryce doesn't fumble and we score a TD I'm betting we win this game by 10 if not 14.

Our defense would figure out how to stop the run if Bryce doesnt fumble?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
