Dallas Cowboys Metathread - Oh No We Suck Again!

[Texzilla58 4,744]

Fullback was doing good. Just a huge mistake.

Cant fault them for the call. They finally using the FB on short yardage. Something we’ve wanted them to do.

The defense is ass. As usual.

Wrong. I want the ball in the hands of dudes used to carrying the ball. I like luedtke but he needs to block. Fumbling is inexcusable. Bad call on mikes part. I would have gone with Rico.

[Paper_jam 836]

Why can the Dallas defense only get sacks against QBs that stand in the pocket for 6 seconds like a statue. They need a different (read: effective) scheme for QBs who get the ball out quickly. I don't know what that scheme is but I'm sick of watching guys like Tua clown on Dallas.

dak fucking sucks

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,398]

Remember Head Cheerleader Jason Garrett going to the Hurry-up offense when we were trying to run out the clock on someone?

The Ravens would have 45 sacks against Steele and Edoga (#71 the human turnstile)

Edoga was fucking terrible Sunday.  Again, the organization's inability to garner good depth at key positions is a downfall to a flawed team to begin with.  Most teams have depth issues when key members or positional groups get hit with injury, examples are the Eagles secondary or the Niners anytime Trent Williams can't play at an elite level, but what's frustrating about the Cowboys is they should have expected these situations because guys they are relying on our injury prone -- Tyron and LVE, or they've simply mismanaged the position -- linebacker or DT.  These were known issues and they made minimal moves or developed talent in a way where they just can't get average play.  Average.  Edoga cost them at least 10 points on Sunday.  Here's 4.  This is as simple a line protection call as you'll see.  The result is an unblocked pass rusher (Miami's best DL) which makes Dak have to break the pocket and throw it away instead of having the half second he needed to find Ferg or Cooks.

Yep this is the real downfall of Dallas. The fact that all it takes is ONE GUY BEING HURT to completely break our offense. Fuck this OL.

[dcar00 14,375]

on the first play he has ferg even with bust if he stands and throws it.  he's actually looking at him initially. the bust is bad no doubt and caused dak to bail on fireg

['stache 21,884]

That’s coaching. Assholes can’t teach basic audibles. Same shit different year.

Well, dude is used to carrying the ball (not this season) he just didn't secure the handoff.  Averaged about 90 carries/season in college.

It was a misfortunate play and it sucks because Luepke has been coming on in the last 2-3 weeks.  The real soul destroying play was the the play right before....

Another example of mismanagement.  We decide to pay a guy coming off of major injury but instead of helping him, we don't go out and trade/sign an experienced  vet to help Pollard out.  It's obvious Tony has a good skill set but it's not a lead back skill set.  He's better doing certain things and we could have helped him succeed by not forcing him into positions he's not good at because we mismanaged our roster again.

 

[Underdog 28,779]

I’d need to see it again as my memory may not be so sharp but I thought #3 should’ve cut up to the EZ instead of heading to the sideline on the Jet Sweep before Pollard’s run.

That should have happened as well, yes.   

[Trey3216 15,367]

Here's how no holding penalties get called on Micah......

 

 

[Pato del Muerto 52,610]

Couple of weeks ago there was talk on the broadcast about dak and mvp. Two weeks later and I see this espn talking head show that’s on while I eat breakfast in a hotel and they have a segment in which they debate whether they’d rather have dak or Goff for the playoffs.

Our society is too stupid to remember past 5 minutes ago anymore.

140 yards in penalties. 

But on the real. If Miami don’t hold, Micah sending tua to CTEland 

[C-Man 27,277]

So, if the Cowboys win the final two games and the Eagles drop one to either Giants or Cards (yes, I know), the Cowboys win the tie-breaker, right?

Cards no, Giants yes. Cards game is meaningless. 

[Texzilla58 4,744]

So today on the radio they said Quinn and the S&c coach made Mazi go from 332 to 290 lbs. no wonder he is failing to be the fireplug in the middle that the D line needed. That’s just stupid. It’s hard enough to step your game up from college to the nfl without having to make a drastic change to physique. 290 ain’t gonna work for anyone there.

[C-Man 27,277]

Cards no, Giants yes. Cards game is meaningless. 

I thought it was H2H, then overall conference record. Do they do division record after H2H and then conference record?

[C-Man 27,277]

The Cowboys have same division record as Eagles. If Eagles lose to the Cardinals and beat the Giants, we would have same division record (if we win out) and the Cowboys would have a one-game edge in conference record. If the Eagles beat the Cardinals and lose to the Giants, they would have a worse division AND conference record than Dallas. Either scenario gives Cowboys the division — unless I’m missing something.

[BachelorTrek 3,062]

I'm glad this game is on ESPN, too, because for us Uverse customers in the ATX metro area, ABC/KVUE24 (Uverse channels 1003/3) is still blocked by the Stupid pissing-match, which started in August/September IIRC.

[Hate 20,146]

Ok, I really thought Jerry was going to make that suck, but he didn’t. How bout those Cowboys!!

[Mantis Toboggan, MD 1,501]

Has Jerry Jones put himself in the Ring of Honor?

[Hate 20,146]

Why did fat Mike not run more clock?? He is a goddamn moron!

[Hermanator 7,178]

Eagles and Cardinals looks like about to be tied going into the 4th quarter.  

[TOR 5,817]

Holy shit the ousucks ewok led cards just took the lead with 32 seconds.  

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

Ewokalypse 

[The_Great_Hornsby 3,283]

Cowboys will clinch the 2 seed with a win next week. Wow, that's huge. 

[DougO 5,256]

Maybe the Cardinals should move back to the NFC East. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4,781]

… and the NFC goes thru SF if that holds.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,398]

Quit this hopeless game at half. Turned it on for the last two plays. I can't fucking believe it!

If I were Commissioner, and they'd be moved back to StL.

[Irish Wrist Watch 1,398]

Only one question remains: Who do the Cowboys lose to next weekend?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1,549]

still have to win a road playoff game and if that impossibility happens, Ravens await in LV

That's not true. SF could lose to b the eagles first. And then we would get a home NFC championship game.

This January is going to be the epic collision of the insane roll the Ravens are on with playoff choking of Lamar Jackson. Which one will win out? 

[Underdog 28,779]

Cowboys/Browns... Calling it now.

depends on how many OL we send to report eligible every play

[Surly Bevo 25,167]

The most Cowboys thing ever will be winning the East getting the 2 seed and then drawing a tougher opponent in someone like Seattle than playing the Baker show with the 5 seed. 

And then losing.

Officials missed tripping call before Lions' controversial penalty - ESPN

According to this report on ESPN, in the previous series, the officials, in error, flagged Cowboy TE Hendershot for tripping which essentially forced us to kick a FG. A review showed it was a Lions player doing the tripping. Without that call, we likely could have taken more time off the clock (unless of course, Fat Fuck McCarthy found a way to fuck it up). It would have been second and three at the Lion 22 yd line. So, hey, Karma baby, karma.

With the penalty it would have been first and 10 inside the 20 at the 2 minute warning
