This loss in on you! Your playcalling was an atrocious joke all night long. Not only did you squander a terrific defensive performance, but you took the ball away from the league's top rusher and best offensive line, but you put all of the pressure on a rookie quarterback playing with a disinterested, brain-dead wide receiver. This loss is all on you. Hang your head.

:facepalm:
 
I didn't like most of the plays tonight but the players still have to do their job & that just didn't happen & it started with Dak, right after his TD pass to a WIDE OPEN receiver. All downhill from there. Oh & enough with the "Rookie" talk. He's played 13 games. He's beyond that excuse now.
 
Hard to be a good coach when your starting QB plays like a 3rd stringer. Blame the coaches, blame dez, but the reality is, this loss is 10000000% on Dak and his disgusting QB play tonight. This is like the 2nd or 3rd straight game that he has totally blown chunks. I am not saying to pull him, that ship sailed when they gave him the position. But the reality is with him at qB we are one and done in the playoffs. It's to big for him at this point in his career.
 
To see how the Steelers abused the Giants last week with the screen pass and make little to no commitment to it was pathetic. Dak was bad, but it happens, especially when receivers cant get open. Players are allowed to have an off night. Coaches arent.
 
This offense has no imagination, which is fine vs the Bears etc but not a good defense.

Dak and dez had a big hand in that debacle, but I agree the play calling was horrendous. 37 passes with a struggling qb while zeke is over 100 yards. clueless game calling.....

We could all see that both Dak and Dez were struggling. But not Linehan. He forced things anyway. And cost this team a game along the way.

Arrogant, clueless, and stupid.

And unacceptable.

Every bit of praise and compliments I have given him this season has been undone by this game.

This was an incompetent disgrace.

You are correct, sir! Very poor game plan. No idea how to get the ball out quickly. Slants and screens were non existent. As were sweeps. They dared us to beat them with the run and we shied away. Deke had 86 in the first half fir crying out loud.
 
Sorry, completely disagree. Dak was completely schooled out there. Held the ball too long.

Its funny in 2014 with virtually the same offense Romo was dropping bombs all year. Now we think Linehan cant figure it out

Funny that you could see that Dak was struggling, but the guy who gets paid for that job couldn't.

How about the open invitation to run to our right side?

Look at the game again and you'll see that again and again, they were begging us to run there, and time after time, we refused.
 
It's the same offense they've had since at least 2014. You might want to prepare yourself because the more Dak struggles, the more they're going to pare back and simplify the offense.

Then why in the world wouldn't you pull him with Romo waiting there? Its not like his back-up is Matt Cassel.

Funny you can admit that Dak was struggling, but can't find the ability to pin even 1% of the loss on him.

He could at least call a screen pass. Get the ball to Zeke in space. Nope, they pull Zeke for Dunbar on almost every 3rd down play. Clueless and gutless.
 
I just look at tonight as being more on the players than the play calling.

Dez gave Dak nothing, and Dak'a accuracy and field vision was as bad as we have seen it. It probably can't be entirely simplified to just those two things, but they were huge hindrances all night.
