5 losses, all away, all grass fields

[links18]

Maybe we should have tried harder to sign Gregory. I heard he likes grass.

I see what you did there.

Not all losses were away…the Tampa Bay loss on opening night was at the AT&T stayjum/shopping mall.

they just pounded the rock on us all game and I expect that again.

Maybe it really is the shoes? Fire the shoe guy!

And guess what


All of our playoff games will be away and most of have grass fields

Does not make me feel all warm and fuzzy.

This is interesting but maybe it's more coincidence. All 5 losses were away games on grass fields. Thoughts?

Means zero imo. We had leads in the Green Bay and jax game. We’ve won in Washington before. If the team isn’t good enough it isn’t and it won’t be because of the turf

It's more about not being at home than specifically grass vs. turf. In those losses, the QB also threw some bad INTs that led to easy points for the other team. You're not going to win many road games with turnovers like that...thus the problem with this new version of Dak

Again, not all losses were on the road. Our first loss of the season this year was at home against the Bucs.

Like someone said, it's location moreso than playing surface.

Right but the thread is about playing fields and how we’ve struggled on grass - and the fact that we play on turf any grass loss would have to be on the road.

Dak was 2-3 on the road this season

Even if you feel you know the information in your post is accurate - always double-check.

Tampa will be running the field irrigation 24/7 until game time.

There was a story from back in the day about Commanders Head Coach George Allen leaving the water running on the field all week prior to playing the Cowboys.

@Bobhaze probably remembers the details...

Loss 1: At AT&T Stadium - Turf
Loss 2: At Lincoln Financial - Bermuda grass, grass/turf hybrid
Loss 3: At Lambeau Field - Kentucky Bluegrass
Loss 4: At TIAA Bank Field - Bermuda grass, grass/turf hybrid
Loss 5: At FedEx Field - Latitude 36 Bermuda grass, another hybrid grass

Raymond James Stadium - Tifway 419 Bermuda grass, another hybrid.

What this all boils down to. We lose.

Thanks for providing this info.

This team is beyond soft.

Notwithstanding Raymond James (should they win)...unless there is an upset by one of the lower seeds (NY or Seattle) their behinds are definitely going to Philly for what is likely to be a cold weather game with tricky winds (and possibly rain)...including rabid, noisy and hostile fans.

The only way you get a turf game (at Minnesota, if they beat NY) is for Seattle to upset San Francisco.

 

[cowboys5xsbs]

Stop making excuses. We had a garbage gameplan and played like garbage. The grass had nothing to do with it. I swear it's getting ridiculous the excuses people make.

Gonna be one more on Monday night.

Everybody looks slower on grass because everybody IS slower on grass. The differentiator is how it impacts one's stride. It will typically impact the long strider less than the shorter, choppier gait. Speed is generated from the impact of the foot on the ground. The softer the ground the less feedback to the foot and the shorter and less explosive the stride becomes.

But "No Screen" Zeke can't afford to be any slower. He's running in Peanut Butter as it is.

Ha ha ha

 

[StarOfGlory]

Um.. the first loss was at home .. on turf.. and I don't think Philly has real grass. But carry on..

Philly has real grass.

I went through the Cowboys games over since 2016 and give or take a game or two, Dak was 10-2 on grass his first two years and 4-11 since then. Dak wasn't the only reason the lost yesterday, but he was a big reason why they had 10 3 and outs and scored only 6 points.
