Im watching this game on the dvr at 1am by myself and im just zipping through all the flags and stuff and i can barely stay awake



From what I remember the game was still winnable right? We got a 4th down and they blitz

What does our fearless leader do? Throw the game away for the 2nd time this Season.


I know he’s very good or whatever but holy cow is his offense playing uninspired sloppy doppy.
 
It was extremely disheartening to see. A little over five minutes left. An incompletion gives the ball back to Green Bay. You are still down by 16.

An interception gives the ball back to the Packers. Unless it is a 105-yard (slightly exaggerating) pick six, Green Bay takes over in their territory still up by 16.

A miracle touchdown cuts the lead to 10. A 2-point conversation opportunity presents itself. Achieve that and you are down by 8 with 5 minutes left in the game. Then you see if your beleaguered defense can stop the Pack's next possession and hand the ball back to you for the chance to take the game into overtime.

Fast forward in the real world. The defense gets you the ball back with three minutes left in the game for that now nonexistent overtime chance.

Rewind back two minutes in reality. It is a pretty pass that the uprights were caught by surprised thinking it was a field goal attempt just missing the crossbar.

I have missed some of Brian Schottenheimer's postgame comments. Did he take responsibility for that throwaway too? Is it officially being called a coaching blunder slash failure?
 
He can read the defense pre-snap and make appropriate calls to change the play or at least the alignment. Stop looking for an out for a dumb QB!
No, you can't do that, based on the looks they are giving. The defense is literally sending 4 rushers at 3 blockers it doesn't matter if the QB identifies it.

Sorry you don't know that 4>3
 
Uh, it's an unblocked blitzer. There's nothing the QB can do there.
It's about understanding the situation. It's 4th down...worst case scenario if you at least throw it in bounds towards a white jersey is throwing a pick, best case is a miracle TD, but at least you give yourself some semblance of a chance. 1% chance of success is better than 100% chance of failure.

So the defense sent more than they could block?

Meaning it’s 6 rushers against 5 blockers?

Meaning dak has 5 weapons against 5 defenders ?( Or 6weapons including his own legs).

look at how Josh Allen shot put a pass into the end zone

It takes a playmaker to make plays

Any ******* off the street can throw a lollipop to a giraffe wearing number 3.

This is the cowboys I wanna see greatness I could’ve went to sleep and saved my time this is such average athletics

Durrrrrffffff

What do you think he's doing? It's just thrown to the goal post hoping a player gets there.

No its 4 against 3 and there's sitll a 7-man coverage unit.

Do you idiots even watch?

LouBrown (Dak) is in a bad situation right now. LouBrown(Dak) claims he understood the mechanics of the play....but apparently (the other) Dak had no clue what was going on.
