Nitpick - The defense isn't creating turnovers and Rivera is still playing not to win

Not worried about the lack of turnovers. Keep playing well on that side of the ball and they'll come. 

Rivera being conservative with a lead? Unfortunately, it's just who he is. It's not gonna change. More often than not we're going to take our foot off the gas and hope to hang on. It's a chicken poo way to play the game, but it's a typical defensive minded coach approach.

We are second to last in turnovers, that needs to improve 

 

And Rivera is lucky his stunt of playing for the FG worked out at the end. Let's not forget the end of the half FG or going soft zone after being up 14

The defense is trying man. It'll come. 

Nothing lucky about playing solid football.

Soft zone? As mad as I was when the opposing teams offense was moving the ball down the field eith ease.... I'm pretty sure that was Brady out there.

I was absolutely furious when we played for the FG instead of going for the TD. HOWEVER, after reviewing that last drive, Pats still had 3 timeouts. All it would have taken was a Cam spin around sack or a couple of incompletions and then Brady gets the ball back with plenty of time for either a FG or TD. Still hated the decision, but it made sense at the time. I guess Rivera was going to live with either Gano or overtime.

As for the soft zone defense when up by 2 scores or more, yeah that sh*t still pisses me off. Why abandon what is working ALL THE TIME? I can't recall how many times in 2015 we just let teams waltz back into the game after being up big because we went to prevent zone D. We would totally abandon our gameplan. Just makes no sense to me.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
