Game Day ***Cowboys vs Lions Post Game thread***

[RonnieT24]

Nope. The refs still suck. 11 was literally tackled in the backfield. They miss a lot of calls. Just because they get it right doesn’t end the “whining”

The best tackle of the game was their center on Markese Bell on the Lions' first touchdown. I cannot believe Troy and Buck went on and on about that block without so much as mentioning the take down by the shoulder pads.

 

[MikeT22]

Dan Campbell lost them the game. He should have took the extra point and took it to ot

Should've taken the FG from the 5 in the first half rather than go for it on 4th down. He might win a few of these gambles, like the fake punt, but overall it'll cost them, like tonight.

I‘ll say it again, Decker clearly reported.
Clearly. He walked right up to ref and clearly reported

Glad we won but they got screwed

Did they line up correctly?

 

[crazytown41]

It’s just a stupid rule in general in my opinion. Not just because CeeDee fumbled.

I dont have a problem with it. It’s rewarding a defense that made a great play. Offense already has a lot of advantages in this game.

 

[Cydios]

So after review, decker tried reporting but he never got to the ref.. it was on the player

 

[Buzzbait]

It's hard damn work following this team.

Now I have to suddenly become sleepy for I can wake up at 330am for a 24 hour shift.

Yikes!

 

[Fletch]

Exactly. It was a flag 8 days a week. Not sure why anyone on here is even making it an issue. It was an easy call

Because we have a bunch of pansy fans. They would rather b**** and be right than enjoy a hard fought win!

 

[TheHerd]

It's been a rule for a long time. Change it now because we did it?

It’s been a stupid rule forever. Nothing to do with us doing it.

 

[visionary]

That is debatable. Regardless it is the players responsibility to make sure the ref knows. 100% on the player.

Thats true but the point is that this means we were unprepared for it, which means poorly coached. Against better teams we would have lost

This was pure luck

 

[CWR]

Why was the ref running away when they were reporting? Was he trying to clock the play? Is there a time limit to report?
Usually when a player reports as eligible, the ref will announce it before the play. It was very awkward.

This gives me bad vibes Like that playoff win against the Lions, when we were not called for a penalty then we lost to GB in the no catch.

At best that play was off setting because the TE initiated contact. Pretty sure it was also illegal hand to the face on the TE.

 

[Mannix]

ESPN taking it personally that Dallas got away with the game....if the shoe were on the other foot, they wouldn't give two blanks that we lost and felt cheated....just shut the hell up about it.

 

[jazzcat22]

ESPN Scott Van Pelt is butt hurt. He can’t let Go about the 2 point conversion penalty. Even though it was the right call.
well he did pick Lions to win.
Just another ESPN anti Dallas person.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Mike McCarthy's decision to call a pass play on 2nd down, especially considering the Lions had only one timeout left, was a tactical misstep. In that situation, a running play would have been more prudent, potentially shaving off an additional 45 seconds from the clock. Essentially, the game could have concluded within two snaps. This incident underscores a recurring issue with McCarthy's clock management skills. It's not the first time this year that such decisions have nearly cost us a game. It's imperative for McCarthy to address and address his clock managements shortcomings. Just a terrible call along with Dan Quin playing prevent defense with the middle of the field wide open.

There was another game where we went for the kill instead of killing precious time. I think it was the Seattle game.

A freakin' kneel down was the better strategic call there.

 

[Rayman70]

Another game dak won with zero run game by the way. He may not be elite but he's better than Romo ever was. Yeah I said it

We were in a fist fight with a damn good team tonight. It happens. We hung in there and Dak overcame the issues.

 

[Shannon1]

All we are going to here all week is that shouldn’t had been a penalty !

 

[DaleMc]

Dan Campbell called a gutsy aggressive game to the end, he knew he had nothing to loose because he has the three seed locked up.

 

[MikeT22]

With a combined 22-10 record…..

And neither will sniff the Super bowl.

 

[dfense]

Like the way the defense held in together. They stuffed a bunch of runs when it counted. 2 and 13s. Lawrence was posessed. Lions had a couple long drives that would wear out a D late. But they made plays late

 

[GORICO]

nah ur guarantees are trash. surprised we didn't lose

awww mr Hennessy--- no love ????...dang
