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

[Starforever]

True, but few teams, if any, can. Just witness the Chiefs' SB loss, and they only had 2 starters out....

They were playing a Super Bowl team. The Cowboys were playing the Colorado Buffaloes.

We are who they thought we were

McCarthy wanted the play calling duties, so no one else but himself to blame for the lack of red zone scoring.

Dak wants to get paid like an elite QB, so he needs to play like an elite QB when the situations call for it. That many red zone opportunities and little to show for it?

Guys want the responsibility, the notoriety and the pay, they deserve the criticism that comes with it as well.

 

[nalam]

Plenty of blame to go all around, one unit struggles the other one need to pick up the slack but no ! They crap the bed as well.

TEAM Loss ! take it in the chin and move on , well shelve the talk of playoffs and SB for now.

I didn't get to see the game but followed it on Gamecast and NFL Redzone, but this team was just flat. They ran their mouths more this week than they prepared apparently. Give credit to the Cardinals who seem to have our number in the recent years. D was pathetic and offense is very good between the 20s and hits a wall in the red zone.

And apparently missing 4 Pro Bowl players three on the offensive line and couldn't get anybody open downfield and getting down 21 points because of the defense in the first half that's why we lost that game there's no way you can come back by that bigger deficit

Same old crud, just a different year. Sloppy, unprepared, out coached and unmotivated in a game everyone told them they would win going away. No maturity at all. Can't handle the responsibility of success, so they lose to sucky teams.

 

[baltcowboy]

A team loss at every level. Most of the injuries happened at the end of the week but I think we all underestimate how good Diggs is and the importance he is to the defense. On the bright side the offensive line played ok but Odebe can not play left tackle. Gallup and Pollard played ok but the defensive busts were massive and cost us the game. Back to the drawing board you want to go 3-1 each quarter. The Patriots are going to be a problem.

Trap game. The big bad Cowboys were so "BAD" in a good way the first two games. Today they were "bad" in a very bad way. Everyone took this game too lightly. They all...players and coaches got trapped. So, the only thing to do now is wait and see how they respond. Time to work and prepare and go forward from here. They can be "bad" in a good way again very quickly. Question is will they. I sure hope so. I hate losing.

 

[Buzzbait]

Well there you go.
A humiliating kick in the crotch.
One thing for the o to struggle when three of your stating line is undrafted players.

However the defense really spit the bit.

Exactly. Offense had an excuse with a 2nd string OL, but the defense had NO excuse. NO excuse.

 

[Cowboys5217]

You know what also sucks is that I could see how this game was going to go by Dallas' first offensive series. I tried to lie to myself, but I can almost always see games like this shaping up in the first series. I hate that.

 

[SuperBowlz]

sadly , today is on dak .


it happens.

Nah, todays loss is on the run D

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

WVU won, Notre Dame and Pitt lost on Saturday.
Figured with a good Saturday, Sunday would make up for it.

Cowboys not sure only crapped the bed... They rolled around in it then went sleep walking and spread the love throughout the home.

 

[Cowpolk]

Season is over man just pack it up and go home

 

[Ranching]

Dak had plenty of time. The O-line wasn't the reason they lost.

180 yards rushing in the first half......can't blame that on the offense or the loss of Diggs. Complete team loss.....not to mention 10 penalties in the first half.

 

[Pipelayer72]

Just gotta learn from it and move forward. I still think this is a great team that had a tough day but give credit to Arizona for being prepared and playing very well. Not giving up on this team. It's only the 3rd game and I believe this team is still capable of a deep playoff run.

 

[Gambit]

Horrible play calling on offense. The defense. did. not. show. up. Somebody please explain it to me. That last offensive series was brutal.

Bright side: Gallup appears to be back. That's all I got

Rico and Tony had solid days.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Imagine the joy relief Kellen Moore will feel tonight when he sees the replay of Dak's latest choke job, and then he realizes he can't be the whipping boy for all the dimwits.

 

[zenmastersauce]

Exactly. Offense had an excuse with a 2nd string OL, but the defense had NO excuse. NO excuse.

Well we certainly could not push anyone else in the front 7 thats for sure.

 

[Floatyworm]

Yall wanted KM gone. I dont wanna hear about the playcalling.

Dak underthrew gallup and threw one of the worst picks ive seen

I knew who the real blame should have gone too....but nope. Jerry just had to tow the party line.

Penalties killed us.
