Monday afternoon so many excuses I’ve read

[Whirlwin]

Brady and Gronk are one of the best duos of all time.

Both are on the same page for blitz reads, where to go and where to place the ball. Helps Gronk is a huge body shielding te with hands of glue. So even being slower he's still deadly.

For Gronks second TD it was a perfect read of the defense for both. They saw the blitz and too advantage.

Dallas had their hands full with Evans, Godwin, Brown and Gronk.
When healthy Gronk can be unstoppable. We faced him not banged up

Yep no answer for him

 

[Cowpolk]

Gronk catches footballs against every team he faces this is not a new occurrence. And he is good at it

 

[Ranching]

I can't stand crybabies!!!!!a

 

[fivetwos]

Don't know if its Gronk or Brady or Arians scheme....but man that ball sure came out extremely quickly many times.

Seemed like Gronk was on the other end quite a bit.

Not easy to stop when those two are going to execute that way.

 

[Clove]

Yeah, I thought we brought in tall guys for this reason specifically? Where were they?

 

[Cebrin]

What does this have to do with Gronkowski , With everything you said we still have an opportunity if we just stop him

It all contributes to the loss. Amari Cooper had 2 TDs as well. I doubt they're focused on it today. They're just happy we can't hit a 30 yard field goal, an extra point, and we had Anthony Brown as our starting CB.

Not to dismiss it by any means. LBS need to play better zone, and get their hands up. I'm not going to bury a rookie LB for getting roasted by a HOF TE and QB on his first game though.

This team has NO off field discipline from mainly the usual suspects. 3 players doing dumb stuff that's effecting the team on the field. I just think it's time to make some example cuts in the coming days or weeks. As far as excuses go. That's most modern day Dallas Cowboy fans. They are true letter "fans". As in Fanatic's. Old school Dallas Cowboy fans hate the last 25 years with a passion.

You were never going 17-0, so TB is a fine team to be one of your losses. That’s all that really needed to be said.

Philly, on the other hand…

 

[Diehardblues]

Our defense is still our glaring weakness. If not for winning the turnover differential we lose by 2 or 3 scores.

I’m just not sure whether it was sloppy on Tampa’s offense or opportunistic by our defense. Time will tell.

 

[acr731]

I actually thought it was a great game. Much better than I expected coming out of the gate. No I was still pissed Zuerlein. is the least of my worries At least a strong safety try to intercept the ball late in the fourth quarter. He didn’t pull up Byron Jones

I get being mad at Zuerlein, but let me ask you this - the offense stalled 3 times in the red zone and had to settle for FG attempts. What if just 1 of those stalled drives made it into the endzone? Dallas gets 4 more points and a win.

It's easy to lay blame on the defense, the kicker, the officiating, etc., but look at the entire picture. There were several things that prevented the team from winning, not just one or the other.

Yeah I understand but that’s not what this post was supposed to be about

I’ve been a fan since the military 60 years ago. How could I not love the star Roger Staubach

Well I thought that’s why we have Elliot. Push the ball in the Endzone. smash mouth

its not about the loss...its about dumb mistakes and trends of how we play, call games and manage games that's concerning....same game mismanagement as last year and years prior....

I’m not blaming anybody. It’s a team sport. I’m asking why we couldn’t stop gronk even once , Before the game I said the team with the Ball last will win. I thought it was a great opening game

Several things kept us from winning. But if we stopped one of those several things we do win. Why couldn’t of been gronk. That’s what I would’ve focused on. It’s like you play the Chiefs you stop hill

 

[Mannix]

When’s the last time we successfully shut a big game TE out?

Jared Cook is next up

Russ Francis???

 

[Whirlwin]

Russ Francis???

Steve Grogan

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

What am I the only one. Gronkowski. I don’t know who was responsible for him. But in my opinion he single-handedly killed us. Yeah I know Brady was the one throwing him the football LMAO. But everything I saw, All game long was just part of playing football. Gronkowski could’ve been stopped. Did we even plan for him

Elite super bowl winning Qb and TE.

Why do you blame THEM?

Why not we score in the redzone?

Why not we have a running game and clock management? We don't NEED 10 ypc....3 will work when we work the clock.

Why not we make FG's when we kick them? (60 yarders exempt of course! )

Gronk and Brady will do their damage......they are élite and best buds.

Many other reasons we lost but nice try,.

Who the heck am I blaming now. LMAO.There’s only one reason why we lost that game. Because we didn’t have the ball last. Make no mistake about that
