Cowboys got beat by greatness

[waving monkey]

Some moreso than others. The bad to mediocre ones probably want more plays back than the great coaches. Period.

And in the end, it doesn't change the fact that calling an option pass into a fade on 2nd and 2 when the one thing you CANNOT DO THERE is stop the clock is a bad coaching decision.

LOL

It's just not my nature to single out one play in an otherwise very impressive drive which should have been enough to win the game.

Because I suspect you are programmed to find excuses for Garrett.

One bad call can screw up an entire drive. And in this case, one moronic pass play when the one thing you shouldn't do there is STOP THE CLOCK FOR THE PACKERS, pretty much casts a cloud over that entire drive, and the game.

Because in reality, one bad call very well may have cost you the game. That if you do the smart thing there and don't call a fade pass, the probability the Cowboys then win is pretty damn high.

The team appears to be gel-ing. The San Fransisco game will be interesting
not because their so tough but to see Dallas and how they come on.

Yeah, I want to see how they respond. But even a quality win and you say "it's San Francisco".

They have to win back some faith from me.

LOL at the various ways you want to twist and contort yourself to give Garrett and the coaching staff cover here.

If you think I do not criticize Jones for a lot of this, you'd be wrong.

We have an average to maybe above average head coach largely because the Jones family is too emotionally invested in Garrett IMO. I think they are too nostalgic and loyal to a guy who has been in the organization since the mid-90s, the last time they were a "great" franchise. But they hide behind this concept of coaching continuity to justify keeping him around.

And LOL at giving Garrett cover by claiming he's doing all he can to overcome obstacles. He's not a good coach. I don't care what obstacles he has, he's not a good head coach. This franchise deserves a better one IMO.

That's not why we don't have a more proven and experience HC

 

[Diehardblues]

They should have played the same ball control that they were successfully doing. Why burn 10 minutes off the clock if your goal wasn't to score and not give Rodgers enough time to come back?

They played it just right, up until their screwup on 2nd and 1 throwing the ball. And that undid everything they'd been doing right.

Your certainly entitled to your opinion but I haven't heard any writers stating the drive was refuted by one questionable call.

The TD provided the late heroics by Rodgers. Without the score the game would have ended much more frustrating.

Enlighten me. Are you going with the angle that no proven coach would work for Jerry?

The late heroics of Rodgers could have been prevented if the coaching staff doesn't make a brain dead decision on 2nd and 2 from the 11.

Seriously? You should look again. It was, in fact, openly questioned during the broadcast. Google "Troy Aikman" and see what he thought.

And nothing indicates the Cowboys wouldn't have scored. Nothing.

We seem to lose to "greatness" quite often. It's amazing anyone beats GB

If you have figured it out by now no use wasting time .

 

[TheCoolFan]

You're gonna have to beat "greatness" to win a Super Bowl eventually. I mentioned in another post that it's not like the Packers are the Patriots...some teams have figured out how to beat Rodgers but the Cowboys just continue to be clueless. Garrett's teams are 2-10 vs. HOF QBs Brady, Rodgers, Brees, and Peyton.

If this is the line of thinking among the Cowboys in the locker room then they are destined to be playoff frauds every year

I'd like to hear it from you. Why can't the Cowboys hire a better head coach?

 

[Diehardblues]

That's not a certainty. Your assuming we run more time off and still score.

Not derailing this thread . If you want to start a thread on that subject I'd be happy to chime in.

We make "greatness".

CJ Anderson's best game in two years - Dallas

Todd Gurley's best game in two years - Dallas

One of Jared Goff's best performances in his young career - Dallas

Trevor Siemien's best game of the season - Dallas

Aaron Jones' career day - Dallas

See a trend?

Does the clock stop on a running play?

Or is that "not a certainty"?

 

[Sydla]

That's not a certainty. Your assuming we run more time off and still score.

So your contention is if we didn't throw an incomplete fade pass on 2nd and 2, we likely would have not have scored after that? Or that if we let the clock run, we somehow will run out of time before we score?

I mean you might have a point here if we had actually scored on the fade pass. But we didn't. The only thing we accomplished on 2nd and 2 was giving the Packers a much needed clock stoppage.

We don't have a good enough defense to beat greatness . We're struggling to beat average to above average teams with this defense.

They could have called time out after a stop on 2nd down . Then we could have thrown on 3rd and 2.
