Game Day *** Cowboys vs Rams 1st Half game thread ***

[CB61]

Are starting right side linebacker went out with injury and they put Covington in and they went right after him he's got to get off to that block a lot sooner just another example how our backup players are not prepared to play

Or the other case would be there just not very good to begin with

Been seeing that same Corona Christmas ad for at least a decade.

I'm so jealous, I wish we could do screen passes.

Eagles won today with the screen and some luck. They are going to try that next week as well. We better be ready for the screens.

 

[john van brocklin]

Can we please defend a screen?

Pretty please!

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Who else wants the Minnesota and Jets game back?

This would be a clinch situation

 

[jwooten15]

I agree with perrera- why shouldn’t common sense prevail there on the coin toss? That’s so trivial

 

[Mr Cowboy]

 

[Floatyworm]

Dak DOES say defer there!!! That's BS!!!!!

The magic of video editing.....I'm sure some smart ***....edited that in there to save his boys ***.

Terrible effort defending the screen by this defense. Has happened way too often this season.

It's funny as a fan you see it coming for 5 seconds but somehow the defense is shocked.

 

[Fmart322]

Not first team to not have ball on both half. Few year ago philly. Dallas kick ball down into field and eagles thinking deadball when dallas touch ball

But they didn't kick to start both halves, right?

 

[dfense]

Wow 53 sucks. When the tackle comes out at you, what do you think he's goint to do? 53 waits for him to come block him.

How about you run to the receiver? Theres an idea. Don't wait to get blocked. jeez

 

[Alohawg1]

If you DVR, rewind and look at the big-time hold right in front of the side judge. Disgusting.

 

[Jack Burton]

Ive seen him say some ridiculous things in defense of the ref's

He's a scuzz bucket. Always defending his brothers, no matter how awful a job they are doing.

 

[willia451]

This team is so hard to watch.

The fact that this division race is a nailbiter going down to the wire is shameful, pathetic and embarassing.

You realize that is every other post and topic on this board now? Must it be said again and again? To what end.

Give it a rest.

 

[glimmerman]

We are so dumb, play 7 yards off on 3rd and 3.

Richard has no trust in the same secondary he had trust in last year...

 

[817Gill]

This defense values “pressures” more than anything else. If you see multiple O-lineman disengaging doesn’t that tip you that there may be a screen comin?

 

[CB61]

More horrific officiating before the game even started

 

[TheHerd]

And there is that horrible defense showing up. Rams just need to run screen plays all day long.

Screen passes, outside dumps to RBs, and Sean throws to TEs. I think good coaches wait until it matters and use those. We can't defend them for years

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Having to give the Rams an extra position especially with our Defense could be the difference in the game. What a shame, when its bad its really bad

Yup!!! And it's not a shame. It's a screwjob!! Why in the hell would Dak want to give the Rams the ball to start both halves anyway? And he clearly says defer!! We got screwed as usual.

true. It’s funny because it’s not particularly good.

 

[texbumthelife]

It amazes me the Cowboys still can’t stop a screen. By any team. This has been happening since Green Bay and they still act like they’ve never seen it before or know what to do against it.

What's really going to piss you off is when you realize that we are running a defense that is literally built to keep those sorts of plays in front of you and read. Our guys all have eyes on the QB/backfield and they still get gashed.

 

[Corso]

Eagles are going to screen us to death with their backs next week.

Every team should screen this D to death.
Just hammer the nail all the way into the coffin.
