Shanahan has yet to make an effective halftime adjustment this year... As long as he's in "evaluation mode" during Dallas week, I wouldn't hold my breath...

What I see is what I expected to see .... one drive, and a lot of mediocre. We're lucky the D forced 2 FGs and got a goal line stand, otherwise, this could be 35 -7 at the half.

You can't expect the defense to stay on the field for 20 of 30 minutes ...

Hunter the punter must be enjoying the 20 yard average today ... (another heartless and nonsensical move this week).

Awesome start to the second half ... at least London Fletcher still has some heart.

Everyone been talking about the Q.b. change and to be honest I'm more worried about the direction of our defense because they are horrible!!!

When is someone going to crawl Hall's butt for trying to go for the interception all the time instead of making a tackle stopping a first down and then allowing a T.d.???????????????????

It's called show boating and should not be tolerated!!!!!

This sucks.. We are making dallas look like the team everyone thought they were.. And well ya us too

I hope Danny Smith is gone after this season. His special teams have never been anything special. And this season they have been horrible with the exception of Banks.

Where has Orakpo been the entire 2nd half of the season? I know he gets held all the time but he has been invisible. Is it the defense? Haslett?

Fat Lady is warmin up her pipes...............

Even ignoring the defense, the offense hasn't put up 20 points since the shellacking by the Eagles ... that was November 15th

Orakpo is out with groin and hamstring injuries.

And Armstrong comes back on a severely underthrown ball to make Grossman look competent.

Armstrong is a keeper. Nice play Moss.

Two TD's and one INT that happened on a bad route by Sellers. Pretty good day for Rexy but the D has been porous.

I know. That was a random thought. He hasn't been himself since the Chicago game.

Sexy rexy! Lol

I agree defense sucks hope they make some major changes this offseason.

This is unreal, the defense is terrible, the offense is terrible, the special teams are terrible, the coaching is terrible. There is not even a silver lining of anything to be positive about or look forward to.

I just dont understand what the coaches are thinking. After we run the ball so well last game, Torain has 5 carries in the first half, 5 CARRIES...thats unreal.

Im just so lost as a fan of this team, I usually can think of something to be positive about, but we really have nothing at all anymore. Someone help me and give me something positive!

If Carter had been rushing on the opposite side Orakpo would have been a lot more visible. McIntosh has been awful.

Change #1: Fire Haslett.

Don't worry about covering Witten...Its no big deal.

apparently fletcher cant cover either

Our defense is miserably bad. We will probably keep Haslett but we need some real talent on that D. I'm looking forward to free agency.

Are the defensive players even trying? I mean this is pittiful. They run for 1st downs, throw for 20 yards, no problem.

It isn't Haslett's fault he was brought in to run a defensive scheme without the personnel to run it.
