Dan reacts to one of the most wild and chaotic weekends in college football in recent memory — and explains why coach Curt Cignetti has officially ruined the patience of every athletic director and booster in the country.

Five weeks into the season and an embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Dallas Cowboys are currently playing the oldest crisis trick in football: the defensive-only meeting.

Sitting at 2-3 o'clock looking at their defense every week, the entire unit gathered behind closed doors on Monday morning to discuss their issues.

Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown described the meeting as candid and candid.

"We look at ourselves in the mirror," Orshoven said.

"Laying what we wanted to be our standard, we put it on the board. We went bullet point, bullet point. Are we going to continue this? Are we? As a unit, how can we get closer? What? We've just heard from all of us. It wasn't really like a fire drill conversation, it was more like, 'What can I do on Sunday, help you?' "Even the weakest person goes on the boat. As long as we're all together, I think we'll be there."

Writing bullet points on a dry erase board is pretty, but it doesn't erase what happened in Tampa Bay.

Dallas embarrassed the winless Buccaneers at home, surrendering 241 yards and an explosive 0-4 offense.

The Cowboys surrendered 419 total yards, fumbled early plays and failed to force a single fumble. Through five weeks, Dallas has given up at least 375 yards per game. Management is now trying to stop the bleeding before a tough road trip to Green Bay.

Defensive coordinator Christian Parker is moving upstairs to the coaching booth, and longtime NFL coach Mike Pettine was hired as a senior assistant to oversee the seniors.

Meanwhile, Dallas hopes Overshown's return from a four-game hamstring injury will add much-needed momentum.

Whiteboard therapy is nice, but if this group doesn't start to tackle anyone, the Cowboys' season is officially over.
