A Goat Today That Nobody's Mentioning

[Dallas]

Most of his catches weren't screens, they were dumpoff passes.

And Felix is WAY, WAY down the list of goats today.

Adam? Could we ge your goat list sir, please?

I think you have to go back to an earlier version of Madden to make that claim. I don't even think the Madden engine nowadays is dumb enough to fall for the same place over and over. That's saying a lot about JG.

 

[Doomsday]

They were playing cover 2 which means their CBs are going to be there to come up and make plays. This what not the game to keep tossing it into the flats.

 

[TwoSteppinJJ]

It would be nice to actually have Jones running some routes instead of adopting the Eagles idea of getting a RB involved in the passing game.

 

[CoJo JoJo]

Our movement blocking could be a lot better. We generally do well straight up... but this team is pretty bad blocking downfield and with pulling linemen.

 

[SDCowboy]

Wow, you should have watched the game if you think Felix was the problem.

Nobody said he was the problem. Please read.

Garrett's an idiot, they baited Dallas into that check down all game and yet how many times did Dallas go vertical? Romo should have recognized this too but...

 

[casmith07]

maybe but when you call the same play 10 timers in one game its not going to work.. this isnt Madden 11

Hello there, Mr. Hammer.

I think we just plain suck as screen plays. We haven't ran successful screens since, probably Julius Jones (so sad to say)+Parcells. During the Wade/Garrett years we only see screens as a last ditch effort in failed plays, rather than using them in a strategic manner and integrated into our offensive norm. They are never planned, and I doubt they are practiced at all during the week. We are probably the worst team in the league when it comes to screens. The blocking sucks, the running sucks, even the pass looks ugly.

Those screen passes would work a lot better if Felix wasn't running like he was on skates. He catches it and is about to fall and land straight on his fast. I guess the Cowboys have been listening to fans by giving Felix more carries but IMO Choice is the only who should've needed more carries. There was absolutely nothing wrong with having 3 running backs get carries a game. That's not why we were losing.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

How is it Romo's fault that the swing doesn't work? Felix caught every pass.

Because he doesn't ever lead the RB. And when he does, it's usually too out there so the RB has to stretch, losing momentum. Or it's way too high.

I did and people are saying he should have turned up field etc.... . He tried but the vikes were waiting on that play all game, by design.

Well...if Austin does not make a stupid play? I think they would have won. So as good as he is, that was a dumb move that took 6 off the score.

(idiots r us)

Touchy call, Moss pushed off late and nothing called, next play fg.

 

[TheCount]

lol, of all the things to be upset about, Felix not being able to run the exact same play the entire game is last on the list.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Felix needs to learn to actually run when Romo throws to him. Not just dance around for 20 minutes.

This. Felix dances way too much. He needs to run north and so south and quit trying to make a move EVERY time he touches the ball. He just does not hit the hole well at all right now.

Yeah, I have a bigger problem with no one bashing Dez for killing our drive with Freddie Mitchell like alligator arms! Here's your free pass Dez, we won't kill you just yet... but don't use too many of them, because this crowd will turn on you next week....

 

[Nav22]

So he gets a free pass because of the # of opportunities he got? Huh? I don't care if Felix catches 40 passes, his job is to make the first guy miss. That's why we spent a #1 pick on him. And he failed to do that way too often today.

Or should his 10 teammates, Romo included, be downfield pancaking defenders to allow him to sprint to the endzone untouched?

Dez is one smooth player...

We are going to be lucky to watch him coming up. He is going to be a star. I was liking Jesse Holly come into the game and make some good tackles on SP...but Beeler let the guy run it back. Damn...

I like what I see from this team...but, something is in the air.


I hate October...now I'm really scared!




Oh well, not my problem to fix. But, like a fool...I will watch the next game. Just because...
