3 games in 11 days

Excuses, Brazil was only a 2-hour time difference. It’s not like they flew to Australia.
It's still 3 games in 12 days. Not excuse but a explanation on why a mentally and physically soft team with a terrible owner finds itself losing like it did. But it could've been 1 game in 3 weeks and they still would lose because they think they are front runners at 2-2. Pure garbage.
 


Add to that a pile of injuries on Defense that racked up more tonight.

Not an excuse. But it did play a factor. You could almost see it in Dak and CD both.

The Bucs definitely had more time to prepare. :rolleyes:
 
It's possible for multiple things to be true at the same time.

Its possible playing 3 games in 11 days on 2 continents had some effect on some players, while at same time some players played poorly.

Its not that deep.
Every single loss that every single team in the history of the league ever experienced has a million bits of nuance to it.. Some people constantly bring that minutia up after every loss.... some don't

Winners don't.....whether that be teams, or people...winners don't.

Anything you want to add?

Or can we just agree that facts are useless to you?
 
At the end of the day does it matter really? Dak isn't enough of a difference maker and never has been but he sure is paid that way.
Do you watch other games and/or QBs across the league?

No. .... if u need to keep NOT MAKING EXCUSES, and just mentioning your little "facts" to make you feel better, carry ion.

Also... not making excuses....but I wonder if the humidity or possibly the breakfast they were served the day before contributed to the loss? I can neither confirm nor deny.

Well, its been reported Q was battling illness, and after watching that horrible display of defense so was I.

The defense at full health is actually worse than they are tonight

Also...I hear there were unusually large SOLAR FLARES that week.

One can't help but wonder: cod solar flares, as well as the WR and OLine, but the reason Dak didn't lead us to victory?

It's not bad enough that the Refs hate us, now the solar system does too?

We should move the team to Uranus
 
Can we juat stop with the excuses and admit were a bad football team

I mean that's where your head seems to be, so why not.
 
It would be a valid excuse if they beat the Ravens. Buccs were 0-4. This was the gift and they choked.
With the $60M Qb showing deer in the headlights look ( with a little pressure 10+ years in the league goes out of window , going back to school boy mechanics , throwing with back foot , panicking and sailing or dumping on ground passes) difficult for offense to be game changer , but even he was trying , that dumb Fergie, Floynoy and Turpin caused the TOs

I think playing 3 games in 11 or 12 days is a valid fatigue factor. The loss against the Ravens was not a blowout and playing in Brazil made matters worse. The 0-4 BUCS were highly motivated not to end their season early and they had a shrewd all out physical play game plan of wearing the Cowboys down even further. Add in that our defense is more of a liability than an asset and them putting our offense and Dak on their heels I am not surprised the BUCS won. Frankly, this is as much on the coaches as well as the players. I have no confidence in Schotty, Sorensen and am wondering if Parker is in over his head as defensive coordinator.

I’m sure it did. Football is hard. No doubt. I didn’t see issues with fatigue. Lack of execution and preparation.
 
It is what it is. I won't root against them but I know what it is. I got caught up in liking the moves they made. Same team and front office just looked a little prettier than normal. I'll admit I got caught up.
After they aquired Quinnen it told me they were ready to get serious about improving the defense and adding Porter furthered that idea but I was never sold on CP being the savior he was being made out to be.

There simply zero hard evidence that he was up to the job of resurrecting one of the worst defenses in the NFL

But I did say that we should/could start to see improvements by weeks 6-8 if his scheme works......some say we are actually regressing and I cant refute that at this point

Bro, it was a 10 hour flight. Just because it didn't cross more than 2 time zones doesn't make it short.

It was the equivalent of flying from NY - LA - NY - LA - NY in a 72 hour period and playing an NFL game in between. Then add playing 2 more NFL games in 11 days after that is crazy. The amount of exertion and energy it takes to play in the NFL not to mention the physical beating the body takes needs adequate restoration to be at your most effective physically and mentally.

I'm not going to make excuses for the play on the field because it was what it was, but to sit here and say that the schedule didn't play a part in it (while sitting on couch typing) is a little disingenuous. The schedule makers really screwed us on this one.
