Game Day ***Cowboys vs Cardinals post game thread***

[Carson]

Quinn called an awful game today.

How did the defense not expect Murray to run in the final 5 minutes

Reasons why Dallas lost:
1. Zeke. Dropped pass but the big issue is all of his give up runs. They are no different than a receiver dropping a pass or Dak missing a guy. When you look at all of those short runs as negative plays, he far exceeds anyone else on the team.
2. Kellen Moore. That was a terribly called game. He is so predictable. We were calling his play before the snap in the first quarter or so virtually every time. Even Aikman was on him about how little they challenged the CB's.
3. Zuerlein. Can't believe this guy is still employed.
4. Penalties. Blame the refs, blame sloppy players or no accountability management but the penalty count and yards doesn't do it justice. Some really important plays were called back.

I thought the defense was fine. Not great but given the TOP, not terrible. I thought the O line was fine. I thought Dak was mediocre. He didn't lose the game but wasn't good enough to overcome the above.

I hate losing! Dak didn’t play well enough to keep the offense humming. Not a hater, or an apologist, just being real. Too many penalties, just not a clean game. GZ needs to be gone. AB is the weak link in the defense. Rant over. On to next week. See y’all then.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Does next week mean anything now?

The Rams would have to lose for it to mean anything at all and they play after Dallas and Philly so no way of knowing.

 

[endersdragon]

One way too look at it.

What other way is there to look at it. Every team has holes. The Chiefs just lost. The Packers lost recently to the team Cooper Rush beat. Bucs just got shut out by the lowly Saints and nearly lost to the ****ing Jets. Cards lost 3 straight in December. Pats just list recent. Every team has holes. The season starts for real in two weeks.

 

[Runwildboys]

Yeah Dak has been bad for sure but with a kicker and a coach who can clock manage we could have won this game, dont you agree?

He hasn't been good, but the receivers are making him look worse than he is.

 

[lwehlers]

that was crap game. now we will see if the cowboys learned something today about the cardinals because that will probably be there wildcard game matchup. one and done it what will probably happen. waiting to the fourth quarter to show up and you will lose most of the time.

 

[ZekeTrain]

Why can the Cowboys never be consistent? For the first 3 quarters they could not run the ball, block, catch the ball, and there were more than a few bad passes but the defense was good. Then the offense starts clicking and the defense seems confused by the concept of Kyler Murray running the football as though that is new territory.

Outcoached and an inability to make changes on the fly.

Jerry made money today, so it's all good in the Empire!!

Jerry doesn't need or care about the money. He will be dead soon and the team will begin to win again. He is a piece of **** that made a bargain with the Devil to win those Super Bowls. We are paying for it.

 

[Cowfan75]

First of all, we are a mediocre team. If Midget Murray were more accurate, we would have been blown out. We can beat up bad teams, and...that's where the expectations should end with us.

Having said that, I'd like clarification on how New York decides to intervene during games. They have proven they can buzz in and challenge a play, even if another play has been run. Yet nothing here? Yeah...now tell me there is no bias against teams like the Cowboys.

 

[blueblood70]

sorry if you are terrible fan. This game lost by 3 after 100 mistakes i say it doesn't hapen often so we will succeed. Get over it tittebabys..you all need faith or is it binkie you lose your binkies..

 

[triplets_93]

7/10 penalties on 3 & 4th downs.

 

[BourbonBalz]

We are the 4th seed. We can't go any lower than this. So, next weeks game is meaningless.

No it’s not. We can still get the 3 seed if the Rams lose and we win.

 

[Walker]

We got out played but man isnt a seasoned coach supposed no better than to use all your t/o's that sad

Should always have a time out until booth reviews, need it for challenges unless its a must have . We could have kept ours and used it after the 2 minute warning. We just blew it in time maangement.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Hey, great news!!! Tyron Smith didn't get injured!!

He did get abused though. But so did every other member of the Oline so he was in good company.

 

[FreePollard]

He has been AWFUL at clock/game management all season but this is one case where this is not true. Nearly every coach in the NFL would have called all three timeouts like he called them today...including the one where Murray was on the field with Prater for that FG attempt.

They already had ran a fake punt on us and Kingsbury is one of those coaches that would run some crazy fake even after doing it earlier in the game. At the time it was a 12 point game...if you give up a TD there on a fake the game is over anyway.

I called it!

Out-coached on both sides of the ball. Vance Joseph completely owned Moore and Dak today.

 

[Gaede]

The positive about this is that I doubt Moore gets a HC spot next year.

His offense has been off since Denver and teams are shutting us down.

You don't just let the time run down to the 2 minute warning and not use your time outs...that's ridiculous.
