Cowboys vs Cardinals: Week 17

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

Too little too late. This one hurts because everything went AZ's way, Cowboys got no breaks on defense and played poorly on offense for three quarters, and it's a close 3 point loss.

That's complete horseshit.  Fuck the nfl.

NFGoodell v. Cowboys.

[Vic Mackey 47163]

BTW. The refs DID cost them this game.

Yes the cowboys contributed and fucked themselves over even leaving it in their hands. Some legit penalties. Dak wasn’t great. Defense sucked.

Call that fumble. Call that delay of game. And this is different.

How convenient how Daks fumble was called correctly when his was very close. But when Zona does, the ref is emphatic that he's down. Neat

again more ref fuckery.  you let the play go as a fumble and let replay overturn it.

Yeah he was emphatically pointing at the turf, eh? That means he definitely saw the knee on the ground. Why let them keep playing in that case? /sarc

Stupid AF not to review all turnovers.

 

We're the NFL.  People love that shit...

They do review all turnovers

That was called on the field NOT a turnover. They only review those sometimes. Not this time, wink wink.

[UTGrad98 2282]

Calling delay of game is like calling a travel in the NBA. Neither will ever happen unless it is egregious. And even then it's a coin flip.

[Pato del Muerto 52616]

Was it the Dallas/ Las Vegas game where the refs watched the big screen replay to then award a penalty against Dallas “after further discussion”?

Good job fat Mac. That's a fumble but your big old self had no fucking time outs left. Good Holy fuck. 

This should be the problem vs the refs but cowboy fans gonna cowboy fan

[Drew 2538]

Super bowl teams and super bowl coaches don't make these kinds of mistakes. 

Huh? Yes they do. Belicheck made a stupid timeout decision just a couple weeks ago that cost them the game. McVay makes dumb decisions every game. Sean Peyton does too.

NONE of these head coaches know what the fuck they’re doing in those situations. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.

And I’m not excusing Mike in anyway way, he’s definitely is as bad or worse than any of them.

But the myth that any Head Coach is always good with timeouts and handling the clock is hat that. A myth.

All these guys needs someone in the booth or on the sideline I’m their ear telling them when to call these and when to go for it and when not to. Would help these guys out.

[Braff Zacklin 13665]

Well, that sucks.

[Drew 2538]

Why didn't we have a timeout left? Oh yeah, because Kliff pantsed Mike in the 3rd quarter on that 4th down play

To be fair…what the fuck were they going to do there? I’m pretty sure that’s something they’ve never seen and the cardinals don’t do.

There were 2 WRs completely I uncovered. If they don’t call it it’s a walk in TD.

Not sure what the answer is, but I bet every coach calls a timeout there. Not just Mike.

I guess they could have just left the regular defense out there for a FG try.

[Mo Horn 8855]

We will see this exact game played out again in the 1st round of the playoffs. Stupid penalties, idiotic coaching decisions, and a close loss. Nothing will ever change as long as the Jones family owns the team. Every season we are assured of 4 wins and 4 losses. The other 8/9 will be either 2 games over .500, or 2 games under. When we're over we make the playoffs, go one and done and get a bottom tier draft pick. When we're under we don't, get a better draft pick, but nothing else changes.

[pops 7007]

You tell me arizona is going to score 25 and I'll predict a cowboy win every time. That was shit. 

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Have to beat Kyler Murray and then Aaron Rodgers and Brady on the road. 

Yeah season over.

[KeysPhoneWallet 807]

This game was frustrating on so many levels. First the cowboys played slow, shitty, and like garbage. Second the refs fucked us all day. Third I fucking hate Kyler Murray so much.

That shit was a fumble, how the nfl can leave that wrong is beyond me. Mike McCarthy is shit for time management at the end of games.

[TonyTexas 10534]

If it wasn’t for the refs, the Cowboys would go undefeated every year. Amiright?

Ah, I remember when I was naive and full of innocence. May you never lose that and have to deal with reality. 

[Bullneck 19215]

Watching the post game; a temporary barrier collapsed and spilled fans almost on top of Jalen Hurts.  But they all pop up and it's selfie time.  Crazy.

[Ghost of Shag 2616]

How many fucking seconds does Dak burn standing at the line of scrimmage and barking “kill” and pointing at guys.

Offense is slow as aggy.

maybe someone with omicron can cough on Aaron

[Irish Wrist Watch 1398]

Another example of the forty second clock turning the last two minutes of a game into a complete joke. Definitely the shittiest rule ever passed by the shitheads who run this fucking league.

[Surly Bevo 25178]

Thats been shown not to matter much when it comes to Aaron.

If Kyler and the kicker are on the field, they obviously not going to kick the FG. And if they do hurry back in kick formation, then no biggie, let them do it. How did we meltdown that much on that play where Arizona had zero intent on going for it? All they were looking for is an offsides or what they got, a timeout. We were unprepared as usual and fall for some amateur Texas Tech type bullshit. That should not happen to an NFL coached team. 

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

if Dallas doesn't make the show, I'd like to see Murray break barriers to be the first Ewok-American in the Big Game. 

[Sgt Hulk 13845]

Meh I didn’t even think we’d make the playoffs. So one and done won’t affect me. Zeke is washed. Our line is dying Dak sucks

[Deej 76946]

Maybe we can trade Zeke for Baker Mayfield?

Only if we get to run Baker into the A gap 1st, 2nd and 3rd down every series.  Hell throw in 4th down as well.  

[dcar00 14378]

not calling the RB obviously OOB cost us a TO that we could have had for the obvious fumble not called.

that sideline ref is fucking blind.

Unless the rams fuck it up, it’s pretty much a lock that we will get a rematch with the cardinals in 2 weeks. That’s a first round L if I’ve ever seen one.

We will kick their ass tbh. This was a fluke. After that, we probably get jettisoned by whoever we play. But we aint getting beat by this shit ass team. We are better than them and coach Bro.

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but midget is undefeated at AT&T stadium. It’s inevitable. The game will probably go the exact same way, to be honest. Except they’ll have some of their defensive starters back.

Losing Gallup is tough. He was doing nice things. If there is any silver lining maybe him getting hurt will allow the Cowboys to keep him for another season or two instead of being sighned away as a UDFA after the season.

Plus Hopkins and Conner on offense. 

And if JJ Watt is back he will draw some legitimate holds, too. 

Someone shoot me. This season is so over.

[Hermanator 7178]

Shocking how bad this offensive line was considering these were all the guys who were supposed to start the year. Unless they get on a hot streak in 2 weeks they're too inconsistent as a team to win 3 straight against the best teams and get in the SB

What they were doing is exactly what was intended which was to put stress on a poorly coached team in order to either catch them with the wrong personnel package on the field, or misaligned to manufacture points OR to make the other team call a timeout thereby taking a strategic advantage later in the game.  They were up in the game and it was the 2nd half, so making the opponent waste a timeout is smart.

C'mon.  McCarthy is bumbling moron which it comes to game day management.  This isn't a new or temporary trait, It was his rep in Green Bay too.  He consistently is bamboozled with clock management, timeout usage, field position decisions and general usage of how to put his team in the best position to win.  He does other things well, but on game day he turns into Ned Stark trying to manage the 7 Kingdoms.  

Additionally, we are the most penalized team in the NFL with the most yardage.  We have major issues with execution and that typically, not always, is a coaching issue.

Collins wasn't good today or at least in the first half.  Tyron was definitely rusty especially early.  I've been banging the drum on how we have an edge issue with our TE blocking which is maybe the worst in the league.  Our WRs are just okay blockers.  We also have 2 RBs who are running with one leg/foot.

Gallup ACL confirmed.  Sucks.  He's probably PUP material next year.

I remember my first BB team, learning the fundamentals. 1 step meant one step, and they'd call that shit every time, sometimes even when all you took was one step...  

I actually watched my first NBA game that year...  WOW...  Wasn't that like 17 steps dude just took? Is this some rule I've never heard of? If you don't dribble, you can just run the ball like a football?!?...  Didn't work.

Fuck the Packers, but they're gonna wrap up the #1 seed and eliminate the Vikes by halftime. At least the Zimmer/Spielman experience can be put out of its misery.

This is true; however, it's situational.  In the normal course of a game, it's definitely a coin flip.  At the end of a game in which one team is desperate to get the ball back, and everyone is watching the clock, it's inexcusable to "miss" the call.  

To add, not stopping the clock on the previous sideline play was a much worse call.
