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

[lsg13]

Let's be honest...Zeke is washed and isn't half the runner Pollard is but we continue feeding him the ball because we have an idiot owner who still makes personnel decisions. Same stupid owner is the reason we have had so many awful head coaches still Jimmy Johnson.

I hate to say it but this team won't win another SB until Jerry is gone.

Yeah they just need to cut the cord with Zeke, I appreciate what he has done for the cowboys but he's not the runner now that Pollard is.

Cowboys are 6-5 outside of their lousy division. We've seen this act before.

arizona had better game plan

murray played better than dak

defense identity is turnovers and without them they are weak

Turnovers and sacks. Had 1. Did have several run stuffs. All in all a bad game. Lost by 3. Missed a FG.

Team has 11 wins. They didn’t get those by accident. Hopefully they can fix things.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Let's not forget that the offense has, overall, been one of the best in the league.

But he needs to learn how to control the game better.

His play calling has no flow most of the time. It’s seems like he’s throwing darts in order to make a play call. And the Oline is just not getting the job done at all. I don’t know if the players are on their last leg or if the scheme and Oline coaching is putrid. Maybe both.

Terry Bradshaw played too many football games without a helmet. "Arizona has no running attack." Well, the Cards had 127 yds. rushing today, compared to a pathetic 45 yds. for Dallas. Aside from a whopping 12-yd. run, the Cowboys rushed 16 times for 33 yds.

 

[Risen Star]

this team loses one game and now its like theyre a 2-15 team

smh

They've played poorly for most of the last two months.

 

[cityochamps]

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

I do agree with that, they don't seem to get open and timing is off between Dak and all of them except Wilson which seems strange. Also Cooper needs to start selling those PI, the refs cant always see everything or if they thought maybe they saw something then a good selling job will get you the flag every time

 

[MattMc33]

Right from the get-go, that game had an air of inevitability about it. Never had control at any stage and a three point loss flattered them, quite frankly. The narrative around this team is clearly they are giant front-runners who feast on bad teams but can't get the job done against clubs with a good or even half-decent QB or defence. And nothing I saw today changed that outlook, despite the late comeback.

The thing is, it's all up to them now. Crash and burn in the first round of the playoffs like most will now expect, or man up, figure out what is going wrong (penalties for one), fix it, ignore the critics, and just go win some ballgames in the tournament.

Do I have faith they can do all that based on what I saw today? Not really. But if you want the glass half full approach, anything can happen come playoff time and the fact is you can't point to a single NFC team that's a standout favourite. Even the good ones have significant flaws. The issue of course is that the likes of Rodgers and Brady can cover up for a multitude of sins. But the point is, there's no real juggernaut out there and like the Eli Giants showed, all you need to do is get hot at the right time.

So, no jumping off a cliff just yet for me, despite the fact a loss like that always leaves me depressed as hell.

It's hard to describe the level of lunacy involved in having to have a timeout to challenge a call that everyone in the country can see clearly is the wrong call.

 

[blueblood70]

Are you drunk?

piss off piss ant nope know the issue was the ol 90% on the OL period end of storry..3 point loss shows how bad 6 penalties on the OL and many poor blocks can affect a game. only a football mental midget would try and out it on the qb..yes he made mistakes but had reasons.

 

[GORICO]

They've played poorly for most of the last two months.

risen i asked if i could make Plat we comeback by getting turnover which should have been ours with 2.51 left and 2 timeouts.......they blocked it...we would have won

 

[Darkhound]

THIS TEAM my team. OUR ream. has been exactly what we say today and this season.
A rollercoaster adventure of ups and downs... just like we have been for the past 25 years.
Today, against a good team.... the natural and obvious outcome happened.. .we lost.

Being a fan, is being LOYAL, being on the good times and on the bad times. But many idiots here, are ZOMBIE FANS that want to think what we are not. THE DALLAS COWBOYS ARE, have been and seems WILL CONTINUE TO BE, a mediocre team
THE CONSTANT of this team has been mediocrity and this is our standard, what we are and what it seems we will keep being.

I really pitty all the fans that want to fool themselves

 

[pitt33]

Will never win with him at the helm, sadly
.

Truth.

In every sense of the word.

And I don’t hate the guy.

He just isn’t it.

 

[lsg13]

this team loses one game and now its like theyre a 2-15 team

smh

no they've lost 5.

 

[CowboyFrog]

nah NY should have called a fumble..they didnt why?

 

[Captain-Crash]

it's the calf and women cramps.

 

[blueblood70]

It's hard to describe the level of lunacy involved in having to have a timeout to challenge a call that everyone in the country can see clearly is the wrong call.

right refs should have checked just for sportsmanship, they did not. false start and fumble on the same lay they decided the game was over before it was. Collusion.

nake--total agreement....needs to go to offseason rules committee

 

[Hennessy_King]

This game made me feel more sick than covid i had last week

 

[cityochamps]

well I'm in the first stage of the five stages of grief, maybe I will be more optimistic Tuesday or weds, but right now I dont see us going very far in the play offs
