Don't panic... What do you do?

[Bob Sacamano]

You guys want to start challenging teams deep and yet you want to start Matt Cassel?

Doesn't make any sense.

From yesterday's game...



21 passes to the middle within 10 yards of the LOS.

Everyone remember the chart of his passes from the Arizona game last year? Exact same thing overloaded to the middle and right side.

You know, this is counter to our power running offense from last year, but I wonder if they might consider doing what they did at Okie State and just put him in the gun in the spread and let him find the open guy. Just snap it and let him get the ball out of his hand quickly. Same type offense that suits Randle, too -- he was very productive in that in college.

I think it would be worth a try at least if other teams start stacking the run again where they simply outnumber us in the box.

Most of us knew we would lose today so I'm not gonna hit the panic button but we do need to tweak a few things.

Instead of dressing Whitehead we could be seeing what we have in Christine Michael.

Yeah, it is time to see Michael get a shot.

I think it was totally the game plan to run everyone off deep and then hit Dunbar and Witten underneath, just like worked so well in the first half. If you look at Cleveland, there are plenty of highlights out there of Weeden throwing bombs to Gordon, so it's not that he can't or won't go deep. Our coaches wanted him to be a good old fashioned Parcells bus driver and not lose it. Problem is they never adjusted when the Falcons started looking for the underneath stuff.

And the real problem was our defense putting someone named Davonta Freeman in Canton.

I think you are right about the game plan. Aikman pretty much said the same thing during the game. Would have liked to see Weeden throw deep a few times. He's got a better long ball than Romo. Might as well use it.

Given all of the injuries and suspensions, it isn't a shock that the Cowboys lost. It does suck how they lost, though ... dominating and then folding.

This would suit Vaughan perfectly - this offense is what he ran when he was the Harlan Hill trophy runner-up.

My thoughts during the broadcast:

Pregame:Well,if Howdy's going to show off his coaching skills,this would be the game.
1st Qtr:Hey now,this is all right.
2nd Qtr:Too bad they got that last second FG,glad they didn't get six.
3rd Qtr:Well,I didn't think we'd hold Jones in check all game.
4th Qtr:Off-air,drunken stupor.

That pretty much sums up my viewing experience of last game.

Give it up.
