Story of this loss...

Lets bring Leinart out for the rest of this one...

He is inactive

If we were beaten by a far superior team then I wouldn't be trippin...

We just got out hustled and coached...

That is horrible to say when you are going up against Wade Phillips!?!:eek:

Final score:

Cowboys 27, Texans 13

Booooo, bad effort.... I expect much better against Oakland...

We are definitely not ready for the spotlight...Its one thing to lose...But to get blew up at home is rediculous...

You can say that again...

I give all props to AJ. He came out on a bad wheel and tried to tough it out. J.J. did OK, but where was Walter? After 144 yds against Washington, he doesn't catch a pass until the game is out of control!
Butler made a gutsy try at OLT after Brown shows his true collors and gets a 4 game suspension. But his rustiness began to show in the second half.
Kubiak gets a flat out F for this game! With all the other stuff going on he lays an egg. We are not ready for prime time, that's for sure. And that is what really pisses me off!

The team was dead from the start. I was afraid of this. A must win for the Cowboys, and a potential let down for us.

NO PASS RUSH!!

NO SECONDARY DEFENSE!!

I think we have the WORST secondary in the league, and I didn't see the #1 offense today, at all. Schaub held on to the ball all day and has zero mobility, as shown by his sack totals so far.
O-line was ok, could have been better.
We've got to get Mario some help, I know Dallas' O-line isn't that good, but Romo did a decent job avoiding the sack. Wish Schaub could at least pick that up.

Overall, disappointed on our performance and our energy.

Yeah. K Jax has not looked good at all. He does have potential, but without a pass rush the secondary is getting hammered. I am not sure what the answer is. I hope Kubiak figures it out soon.

Shaub held on to the ball so long because for some reason, Kubiak thought that the Cowboys would just continue to let AJohnson run that quick slant one on one...

Make an adjustment Kube...

Slaton is just used all wrong...

The guy doesn't suck...he is just a different type of back...hence the term change of pace back...

You can't just keep sticking him in there as a breather for Foster. Utilize his strengths damn it...Make Ware respect the RB sneaking out into the flats...

I saw alot of that stubborn gameplanning again...

Biggest disappointment, the offense scoring 6 legitimate points...We knew the secondary sucked...where was the offense...

I would like them to use Slaton like the Saints use Reggie Bush. He has a similar skill set.

Exactley...We can't just keeping wasting a down watching him run into the back of the Oline...


Oh yeah, Winston...Curious to see what he has to say now...

It is amazing how Slaton's vision had totally disappeared. I wish that Tate had not gotten hurt.

Winston played terribly today.

There is the one silver lining in this otherwise putrid weekend.

Sucks that there were so many degenerate Cowboy fans in Reliant. There must have been close to 1/3 of those idiots in our building. Shame on Texan fans for whoring out and selling their tickets.

I am so beyond pissed right now, not just for the loss, but the way those idiot fans rubbed it in our faces in our crib.

Nothing worse than getting sent into the locker with our tails between our legs at our own place.... Well theres one thing thats worse, and thats when its done by the Dallas Cowboys. Im starting to think we were posers for the first 2 weeks. Let's see if they make a statement next week coming off a loss.

That is the worst thing in the world. The fact that a whole hell of lot of Cowboy fans actually came to our stadium and felt comfortable cheering for the Cowboys. I couldn't tell we were playing at home with all the cheering.

I dont think the team is bad...I just think it was too early to be praising the team. They came out there with this swagger like the Cowboys would just let them complete their favorite plays and just run up and down the field on them. We should've been playing this game like we were 0-2.

The Cowboys clearly needed this game and played like it. To be honest, they matched up well against us and exploited it. They have excellent corners and some very good receivers. They have large OL that are hard to rush around.

I was disappointed that there wasn't the same intensity I saw in the exhibition game against Dallas. We came into that game 0-2 and played with a purpose. We came into this game 2-0 and lacked the intensity needed to win.

The Cowboys have the history, and there are a heckuva lot of people in the Houston area from other parts of the state. Because of that history, they've got the fans that don't live right in the Houston area. I was always a fan of the Cowboys when they weren't playing Houston until the Jerry Jones regime started. Before that, the team handled itself like Tom Landry. The arrogance really seemed to me to show up later. I guess there are a lot of Houston fans nowadays that hate the Cowboys, but they can remember the disappointment of the Ice Bowl game in Green Bay. I'm one of them. When the Texans win the big games, their fan base outside of Houston will grow. They sure didn't do anything yesterday to grow that base. All they did yesterday was raise my blood pressure.

ticket companies are a big part of the problem in this regard. I bet that at least 10% of the stadium is owned by ticket companies. so when a big game like this comes there will always be a healthy number of opposing team fans.

Here's some video from the Cowboy game that highlights much of the Texans problem on defense... their lack of adjustment to max protection:
