Aikman: "why do you throw that pass when Zeke just ran the ball for 8yds?"

[JohnnyTheFox]

any competent coaching staff is probably laughing at our dumb *** coaches

I would too.......
Someone famous once said, hit me in the head with a hammer if I ever draft a dumb player.
This applies to coaches as well.

 

[ALBIT]

I totally agree. It was so stupid. Its the same bull crap every drive. I. So tired of ot. Hello Jason when are u going to realize it and tell thwm not to call it. That play was so so predictable. It made no sense. None. None none none. Vuts i keep telling you this team is so so so poorly coached and we dont have ebough talent to win anything. Its the same crap every time. I cant take it anymore. Tjat pass tp Dez made zero sense. Zero. Im tired of it. I dont care who you blame but th3 heqd coach is too stupid to stop it game after game. This team is clueless. Thos team will win 6 games. Its a disgarce. Im so tired of the same old crap

 

[VACowboy]

On a second and one and another chance to get a first down, while getting single coverage on Dez, it was perfectly a fine play call..

Not Against Aaron Rodgers.

 

[Deep_Freeze]

If you score..

Depending on our D is always a bad idea, especially when you consider Rodgers was going for it on 4th down all the way to fg range.

Just an awful decision.

 

[Chuck 54]

There are almost always 2 plays called, and Dak was running it with 6 in the box, passing with 7 in the box. How do you geniuses know that Dak didn’t see man coverage and go with the pass?

 

[khiladi]

It's about the clock stopping if/when the pass falls incomplete. Inexcusably pathetic play call.

It was about being cowards..

People say Marinelli is a coward, but then they want to play like cowards.. at least be consistent and say it's playing prevent and giving Rodgers all day to throw with a three man rush that allowed him to March down the field..

 

[NumOneQB]

Absolutely agree with Troy. Clock management is crucial in tight games. It was a boneheaded call....

 

[dwreck27]

We just try to make cute plays

Linehan is so stubborn with the pass... he truly must be shackled into this power running attack

It's about knowing what the hell you are doing.

 

[Cowfan75]

Even if we run and force GB to use their timeout, so what? He could have pulled it off with 20 seconds against this defense. Throw one deep pass, get a flag or catch, then another, game over.

 

[vaquerosdedallas]

In case you didnt know, Linehan calls the plays.

If I was the head coach I would have told Linehan to run the ball. The head coach bears the final responsibility and he failed!

A few weeks ago I sat here and watched as the Texans choose to dare Tom Brady to score a td in the final minute rather than go for it on 4th and one deep in New England territory. Today I saw the Cowboys throw a pass that stopped the clock and gave Aaron Rodgers just enough time to go right down the field for the win. Neither one of those was a "perfectly fine play call".

When will these brainless buffoons learn?

They also act like that read option would have been a guaranteed TD the next play if they ran it..

 

[khiladi]

It's about knowing what the hell you are doing.

So you think the read option would have scored if they got a first the next play? You think it was a guaranteed score?

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

It was a terrible call, but our defense and Williams cost us this one.

And the Texans the very next week put up 50 plus points, playing with ridiculous confidence

 

[coogrfan]

How did it cost them the game they scored right after that?

Because it left Rodgers with enough time to come down the field and score the winning td? Everybody on the planet knew how that was going to play out.

 

[Bleu Star]

I don't care what is called by Linehan. I would have respected a Garrett that sniffed out a ridiculously dumb play call during a time when our run game obviously had GB on their heels and called timeout to gather the minds and make the right call which was to RUN FREAKING CLOCK.

 

[coogrfan]

Are you suggesting that the Texans would somehow have been less confident last week if Brady had only needed a fg to beat them instead of a td? Because that's just silly.

 

[Bleu Star]

Bye week then SF, Wash, KC

We are looking at 3-5. Pathetic.
