About the Game

[waving monkey]

This game [Seahawks] was a should win if the Cowboys are a contender this season. Of course that doesn’t mean they’re not going to get on tract and start a long series of wins but I’ve pulled my money back.

I didn’t see the game. I didn’t wake up until past half time and had trouble finding the location on Redditt to watch the game but I knew the score and it felt lost. So without any real insight I’d have to ask myself was the Oline not protecting the QB? I know Dak isn’t a great QB if pressured but before this game he wasn’t seeing but half the field it looked like to me. I have read his accuracy was off again this game.

The front office might have decided in the off season this was a through away season. In no way do I think that was voiced but the WR position was a conscience decision from the get go. Witten’s decision cost Dak his security blanket that certainly didn't help.

Fredbeard’s totally off the wall GBS hit hard and we all recognize that. Looney has done a damn good job stepping up but starting a rookie next to him will be a big problem the rest of the season. Nothing there to charge the front office with. Is Anderson doing a good job as offensive line coach? I don’t know.

Did the defense play a deceit game?

So out of necessity Dak finishes the season. He gets the my full support because otherwise I’d have to join the living dead. I’ll diffidently be neutral about his flaws. If Dak isn’t improving by a large measure by the end of the season we should be drafting a QB at the top of the draft.

I think JJones still gives Garrett the full contract but he's had his time enough.

It’s depressing.

I told everyone to chill they told me “we are going to bury the hawks”
Defense played fine but when you give an nfl team extra opportunities then its nothing you can do. The Seahawks literally looked like an 0-2 team and we looked 0-2 right along with them

As far as Garrett dude should have been gone

I really thought we were going to win. I watched Seahawks play on Sunday or Monday night when ever it was, and their offensive line was struggling majorly. I guess Khalil mack for the Bears was all the difference.

Our line was horrible and the oh so great defense looked terrible. Dak didn't look great, but he was under siege all game

 

[JDSmith]

Dak had some bad fortune. He didn't help his cause a lot of the time, but he can't catch the ball himself. His first pick was on Gallup - he didn't control it and it bounced out and Earl Thomas made an amazing catch on top of his foot. Then Dak managed to throw a little swing pass TD to Zeke on a roll out, but wait Zeke was uncovered and stepped out of bounds before he caught it because - I don't know, maybe he was drunk. The second int was thrown into a crowd of defenders, but sometimes guys have to make a play - instead Jarwin swatted at it and kept it aloft until Earl Thomas (again) could come down with it.

That's not to excuse Dak's play, I felt he looked a lot like week 1. But our team as a whole just finds ways to screw things up.

It is depressing. No, the O-line did not protect well. Don't know what'sup with T Smith but he didn't play well at all. Again Williams gave up at least one sack. The pocket collapsed from the middle. Even Martin was getting pushed back. Prescott was far too conservative, holding the ball too long, looked afraid to make a mistake.

Our defense. Secondary got exposed a bit. We wasted 3 timeouts in the first half because Seattle was going hurry up and we didn't have the right players on the field. I'm thinking teams will start to go hurry up more on our D to prevent substitutions. Lot's of chatter about how good our D is but who have we played that we would call a potent offense. Hope the chatter is accurate about the D but I'm not sold yet. On the bright side LVE played well and that's a good thing because Lee has that groin thing going on again. The Generals football future is chugging to an inevitable end

I'm usually pretty positive but if there is a recipe to fix this struggling offense before the season blows up, I don't know what it is and obviously the offensive coaches don't either. "We'll watch the film" is hardly a recipe.

Agree on QB first round if Prescott continues in this direction. That doesn't even scratch the surface of the O-line concerns.

Looked a lot like the Carolina game, but even worse in some ways. Seattle won the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. Dak was once again hesitant to throw the ball then when he did it was too often off target. Zeke's head wasn't in the game, and when Frazier had to replace Heath temporarily he got toasted for a TD when he cheated up and was out of position.

The truth is, it was all stuff we've seen before. Maybe now people will pump the brakes on the silly blowout predictions, especially in road games. You aren't blowing out anyone when you struggle to put 14 points on the board.

 

[Hadenough]

Dak didn't have a lot of time but it didn't help that he hesitated to throw the ball. The interceptions were just fluke plays but Dak just hesitated and look confused. the defense played well early on but I think they got sick and tired of the offense going three-and-out

 

[Hadenough]

Seasons over pretty much because Dallas didn't have an alternate plan for QB. what makes this so frustrating is I knew this was coming I could see it but nobody listened I wanted Dallas to draft a QB heck I would have been happy if they signed Kirk Cousins.

...This is getting ridiculous, for the second time in three weeks, the Dallas Cowboys got embarrassed. This time, it was the Seattle Seahawks manhandling the Cowboys, 24-13. If you thought Dallas had turned a corner after last week’s performance, you were extremely disappointed today.

As it usually goes when you get whipped, it was a team effort. The Cowboys looked putrid in every phase of the game. Offensively, they couldn’t move the ball. In the first half, the Cowboys didn’t have 100 yards of total offense and they killed themselves with mistakes. Michael Gallup dropped a pass that led to an interception, Tyron Smith was beaten for two sacks and Ezekiel Elliott lost track of where he was on the field, negating a touchdown that might have swung the momentum for the Cowboys. It was pitiful, and the second half wasn’t any better.

In the last 30 minutes, the Cowboys gave up a crucial sack deep in Seattle territory, Elliott fumbled away an opportunity to stay in the game on a big gain and Dak Prescott threw a bad interception to seal the loss. Dallas had trouble moving the ball all game long and the offense seemed to revert back to what we saw in Carolina week one. There wasn’t much creativity; there were too many first and 10 runs, too many short passes or screens when behind the chains and no throws down the field. And inexplicably, no Dak QB option runs.

The bread and butter of the game plan from last week went completely out the door today. The Cowboys’ offense couldn’t keep the defense off-balanced because they didn’t try anything they were successful with against the New York Giants...
