Dallas vs. NYG game thread: playoffs, here we come.

[Mossyhorn 143]

It’s time for Cowboys defense to commit another personal foul

[Mossyhorn 143]

Ha ha, nope, time for an Int 

[RPM 26,322]

I'll take it!

[Drew 2,458]

Of course they get a pick to keep them alive and and then get a penalty. Jesus

[ztejas 43,466]

Cowboys needed that return 

[RPM 26,322]

Get Zeke out of there!

[Braff Zacklin 13,616]

That's actually a bad call. Defender tackled Ingram because the ball hit Ingram in the hands.

[Drew 2,458]

First down runs.

Did Garrett come back? Or are they that sacred of the OL and Dalton.

[Drew 2,458]

That's actually a bad call. Defender tackled Ingram because the ball hit Ingram in the hands.

Course it is. But it’s the cowboys. Have to expect those crap calls.

And 3rd down almost didn’t work. Jesus.

[RPM 26,322]

CeeDee!

[ztejas 43,466]

CeeDee is such a fucking badass. I don't care if the Cowboys didn't need receiver - you can't hate on that pick.

[Drew 2,458]

That was a sweet play

[RPM 26,322]

Zeke can't take a hit.

[RPM 26,322]

Oh damn.

[Drew 2,458]

Love me some shulz. Can’t wait to see a health Jarwin too.

[Braff Zacklin 13,616]

Schuuuuuultz!!!!!

[RPM 26,322]

GOD DAMN IT GALLUP!

[ztejas 43,466]

Oh man if they reverse this 😂

[RPM 26,322]

BOOM!

[Braff Zacklin 13,616]

Coop is such a badass. Way to reach, big fella.

Edited January 3, 2021 by Braff Zacklin
Looks like he'll be marked down at the half-yard line.

[Patrick Bateman 3,916]

Damn.... that was a great 4 yard run.  Wow.

[Wanker Bob 379]

Cowboys will still win this game. Garrett and jones not gonna get it done when it counts even against this trash defense. 

 

That said do you really want to make the playoffs and either get knocked around by Tom Brady or have Aaron Rodgers cement you as his little puppy dog bitches? Even the games they won the defense was horrible but managed to get a few turnovers to score enough to win the game. Brady isn't going to give this defense that. 

[RPM 26,322]

So Zeke gets 3 shots to pad stats?

If they score, who cares?

 

Real question, too early to go for 2?

[Mossyhorn 143]

More effort by Overfed on that drive than we’ve seen in awhile. 

[Drew 2,458]

Gotta give Zeke some credit for that one.

He earned that one.

I would agree if they weren’t playing the cowboys defense. They’re going to give up a huge run. Ans have some wide open receivers 15-25 yards deep running free.

Meanwhile dallas will get about 2-3 more FGs. Maybe.

[Lat22 4,014]

Why don’t you go for two there? I mean I’ve only watched football for 50+ years. 

[RPM 26,322]

Is "Call Me Kat" code for kill me now?

[Drew 2,458]

Why don’t you go for two there? I mean I’ve only watched football for 50+ years. 

Yeah I’m with you. But MM would be killed for going for it and not getting it. Even though they pretty much we’d the same scores to take the lead regardless if they took the point or missed it.

[Drew 2,458]

So are they going out of their way to make sure everyone knows that INT wasn’t on the QB? Wish they’d do that for all QBs. Lots of INTs and very year aren’t really on the QBs.

[Drew 2,458]

Can’t wait till they call lamb for pushing off late in this game. They aren’t calling it now on anyone.

And like said they’ll have guys open 15 yards deep.

Because another TD and XP gives you a FG lead. If there was less time on the clock I'd agree with you. 

[Braff Zacklin 13,616]

 Engram's our best player today, just as Gallup is for the Giants.

[hookem48 4,700]

thanks refs, that crack back was a terrible call lol

I was thinking the same. Yadda yadda chasing points, but right now 1 point doesn't change anything, get this down to a 3 point game.

I disagree, MM get's criticized for a not playing the situations, this is one of those cases. Going for 2 has logic to it, the XP doesn't.

It was actually the right call, can’t hit a guy below the waste in that instance.  That’s as easy a call as there is to make.  

[RPM 26,322]

About time!

I can see both sides. Another thing to keep in mind, though, if you miss the 2p and the Giants score 7 you are now down 12 vs down 11.

What instance is that exactly?

Going for 2 has a different logic to it.

As @ztejas explained, another Cowboys TD and traditional PAT gives them a 3-point lead, which means the Giants couldn't take the lead with a simple FG.

True, there's not much difference between trailing by 4 points or 5 points, but there is a substantial difference between leading by 2 or 3.

It's a glass half full/half empty argument, and either answer can be correct ... but if you go for 2, be sure to call a good play.

[Happy Gilmore 1,001]

Peppers seems like a little bitch. Complaining about something every play. 

[Drew 2,458]

That was a Duck of a throw. Not sure if he was throwing to lamb or Cooper.

But dalton has been better this half for sure.

[RPM 26,322]

Run Andy, Run!

[RPM 26,322]

Neither was he.

A receiver who is lined up outside the tackle box and coming back to make a block on the line of scrimmage.  He was in motion and got past the tight end who was also lined up on that side.   You cannot block a defender under the waste in that manner.  It’s fairly clear in the rule book.  

[orangecat92 306]

The two point conversion debate proves how DKR was way ahead of his time.  He wanted to surprise the Hog D in 69, by going for 2 earlier than the last few minutes of the game.  So when we scored to make it 14 to 6, at beginning of 4th quarter, he went for 2.  Boom 14-8, led to 15-14.

[youdunnf'dup 2,147]

You definitely need to put GG in if Dalton can’t even do a basic handoff. Wow

[Drew 2,458]

They been passing this whole drive and then that.

And if Dalton is hurt it could really change things.
