[Braff Zacklin 13431]

Still can't pay rep to you guys. Stupid 24-hour limit.

I'll go back thru the game thread later this evening.

Terrible passes are not ones that go directly to a receiver's hands...Lmao. But it's Dak so I get it...

[Braff Zacklin 13431]

429 yards of offense to 190. If not for that tipped interception, score would be something like 34-7 or worse.

[markstanco 12528]

Game 2, so I'll keep it in check.

But got dang we are looking good.

Taking my 10 year old to his 1st cowboy game next sunday. He is jacked.

[bmbmd 1027]

I’m not as old as Brat, but old enough to remember when Dandy Don tried to outsmart the world and the Ice Bowl. It’s been a long time since the team looked this competent, this complete. Very enjoyable

The hate is real

[Horn80 6079]

Smith and Vander Eshe are Thing 1 and Thing 2.   Not sure those guys aren’t twins.

Have you checked with Katfid? 

[Vito Andolini 9115]

Redskins were a full yard short of that last “first down.”

[Drew 2331]

Cmon defense. Just giving up a weak ass scoring drive here

This game isn’t even close since the mid way 2nd quarter.

[hookem48 4636]

Keenum gonna get someone killed

Wuh?

[Trey3216 15325]

Damn.   Pretty good coverage there by Byron too

[Drew 2331]

it was tipped but was a terrible pass

It wasn’t a terrible pass. It was a little behind but very catchable and should have been caught.

People act like any throw that isn’t between the numbers is terrible.

[Burntcowboy 1845]

D giving up too many plays. 

[Braff Zacklin 13431]

With another pass rusher to bookend Lawrence, this team would be elite. Like SB elite.

So Gregory is back next week? His suspension got reduced to just three games? Apologies for not keeping up during offseason.

[Drew 2331]

It was a little behind. It wasn’t a terrible pass like you claim.

[Ghost of Shag 2585]

Goodness.

Giving up 21 to Case Keenum.

Just watch what Aaron Rodgers does to this defense.

[Mo Horn 8808]

The only thing the prevent defense does is prevent the offensive from not scoring. At least we made them run time off.

No Quinn will be back. Had 2 games.

No word on Gregory.

it was a shitty pass, it's ok to admit it and still be a Cowboys fan.

[Drew 2331]

Except it wasn’t. If it’s a bad throw I’ll say it.

He threw it behind him a bit but wasn’t “shitty” or “terrible”. It’s okay to admit when you’re wrong.

OK, thanks. Recall Gregory being suspended indefinitely, but then we extended him, so I've no idea wtf is going on.

And for the love of Tom Landry, the pick wasn't a good pass from Dak, but he had just slipped a tackle and was off balance. I'm sure he would tell you he should've done better. But you also expect a skilled vet like Cobb to do better.

[kingkoopa6 8321]

Bitch ass N

Agreed. But it’s a far cry from a “not good pass” to a terrible one.

[Mo Horn 8808]

Last year we would have never run Dak there. Would have run 3 times into the middle of the line. Subtle but huge difference

[Underdog 28460]

It's Week-2, Drew.  Pace yourself. 

[Vito Andolini 9115]

No need to take that hit, slide

That's a pass that a professional football player should catch.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Guys, we BS’d are way into 30 points today. Ok the road in the division. Offense could’ve played better lol. Scott Linehan might get the Jeff Fisher treatment after this year if we keep this shit up.

[Braff Zacklin 13431]

Eh, I'm sure Dak would admit it was a bad pass. Just the kind of guy he is.

But he and the team got over it and moved on to whip dat Injun azz. We should, too.

And can't speak effusively enough to how composed and correct Dak is looking with Kellen calling the shots. They's like peas and carrots, Jenny.

[Ghost of Shag 2585]

Let’s argue some more about one pass.

[Burntcowboy 1845]

Yeah baby!!  Go Boys!!

[Braff Zacklin 13431]

474 yards of offense today, 470 yards last week.

Can we go ahead and make Kellen Moore offensive dictator for life?

[Horn80 6079]

2-0 both divisional wins.  Great start to season.

Edited September 15, 2019 by Horn80

[totallynotabuttpirate 5346]

Even the pussies still shitting on Dak for the tipped INT have to admit that cowboys receivers only play with 2 options:

1. Catch the ball that hits you in both hands. 

2. Tip the ball with both of your hands straight up in the air so it gives the maximum amount of time for a defender to catch it. 

Weren't like 50-70% of his picks last year off of receivers hands? 

 

 

[Underdog 28460]

Witten on pace for 16 TDs this season.  

[Vito Andolini 9115]

Miami next week 😀

[tokamak 6353]

Miami next week

Just saw that they've been trying to trade Kenyan Drake this week. They have no interest in trying to win any games.

[LonghornJudas 1090]

2-0, both win in the division. Love this start.

This receiving group is really good. Fuck Beasley. Cobb is so much better.

Zeke somehow ended up with 111 and I was actually watching the game!

Dak - Another fantastic, well managed game with some really nice throws down the field.

Kellen - Pleasantly surprised in these first 2 games. He's done a great job so far and has defenses on their heels. We'll see how that measures up to the tougher ones.

Dak Highlights, Part 2

Tell me, what QB in the league is playing better than Dak right now? @futureman @Junior Miller

Why did you mention me? I never said Dak was a bad QB. I said we needed to see what he could do with more of the offense on his shoulders and not relying on Zeke before they gave a contract to Dak or Zeke. What we're seeing is when Moore goes heavy pass more playaction he's capable of carrying the team and wasting 15 mil a year on a RB was a stupid move. 

[Braff Zacklin 13431]

I thought you had vociferously spoken out against Dak being a playoff-caliber QB last year and maybe even the year before? Maybe I'm mis-remembering it.

Either way, apologies if I've attributed opinions to you that weren't yours.

[Vic Mackey 46937]

Dallas has opened up as 16.5pt favorites against Miami next week. They have scored 10pts total this year. NE beat them today 43-0 on the road and covered their 19pt spread. They might be one of the worst NFL teams we have seen in a long time. Especially after they showed they were tanking by trading the remaining offensive talent they had to Houston.

NYG and Washington are well below us in terms of talent and we easily took care of both in dominating fashion. That is something we didn't see much from Linehan's offense. We'd bog down and get predictable and then allow the other team to play close. We manufactured so many close games because we refused to keep attacking. So far so good with the Kellen Moore experiment. The Saints game in 2 weeks will be the real fun test to see where we are.

[Sgt Hulk 13648]

I’m here to say hahaha and fuck you redskins and fuck your fans in your face 

[Horn80 6079]

It appears Gallup has made the next step up that most players can’t do.  That’s the biggest improvement I seen except for getting Fredrick back to anchor the line.  He’s return is huge.

In essence, Frederick was like a free agent pickup. We didn't have him last year. This offense has such a new dymamic this year. Cooper is now starting the year here after half a season last year and a full offseason. Gallup is now in his 2nd year, which is usually when good WRs start to make their leap. We added Cobb. As much as I was against bringing Witten back, he has delivered.

Think about the offense to start last year. No Frederick. Beasley and Hurns were our number 1 and 2 guys. Gallup was a rookie. 

This offense has the potential to be dangerous. In 2016, they were very efficient and wore teams out on the ground. This year, they are much more potent.
