I watched 14 minutes of game play. That was 13 minutes too many.

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

[electro's horse]

why does anyone want bryce to "bounce back."

He's had maybe two games in his entire career that are nfl starter worthy. Bounce back for him is like 20-30, 155 yards, a td, a fumble that maybe he falls on or doesn't, 17 points heading into the last 6 minutes of the fourth.

the bryce young period in NC needs to

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?

It’s not arguable. 

can you imagine what Team Little Guy would be posting if he’d thrown three end zone dimes like cooper Rush did?

The saints d is just as bad and we saw what Bryce did against them.

He did all throughout camp this year and it was so bad it actually gave us the mistaken impression our defense was formidable.
