Game Day Cowboys vs Buccaneers post game thread

Zeke has a massive head

 

[knightrider94]

Norm's about to have a heart attack on air with a caller wanting Romo to start after this game.

You've got to be kidding!!!!

 

[plasticman]

Does anyone else realize that next game will be the 4th in a row in which the starting QB was the #1 overall pick in the draft?

The Cowboys then end the season against a QB that was the 2nd overall pick in the draft.

let me guess.... If Romo was in there....

Linehan owned TB the first half... he had Dak in shotgun primarily and the OL was giving him plenty of time to go through his progressions as well and Dallas was targeting them over the middle.

And as Chris pointed out, Tampa went big on DL because they were worried about Zeke and the LBs were not dropping deep enough over the middle.

And they kept attacking the middle..

Linehan didn't suck like people think he did.. yeah he has done dumb moments, but he went right back to Zeke.

Toy Dungey just refuses to give us credit

I couldn't care less about getting credit from TV guys.

Just keep winning.

Risen is pissed. He predicted a Cowboy loss.

If Giants lose Thursday against Philly we win the division and get a bye. I don't see it happening, but who knows.

That will be CLOSE IMO. Eagles played very well today vs. Baltimore and that game is at Philly. They are due to win and the Giants are feeling good about themselves. Only problem is: Wentz vs. that D'.....yikes.

Breaking news, Tony Dungee or one of those talking heads, said we're beatable. I guess we are, we've been beaten twice, can't get better sports analysis than that, pure genius these talking heads are.

I actually think he is right. With our defense, we may be the most beatable 12-2 team in history. They could have easily lost their last three wins and be on an 0-4 streak. Thankfully they found ways to pull those close games out but they are no a juggernaut right now.

If Dak is a game manager he did an excellent job tonight of managing the game...

2nd highest completion percentage while attempting 30 passes or more, pretty good.

Anyone still want Ramsey or anyone else over Zeke? Not me, I wanted Zeke once it was apparent we would not get Wentz, so glad we have him...

Reality check on Linehan and play calling.
You can't run the ball well when they stack the line...that's when you get stuffed and why you don't convert short yardage runs.
Dak controls the play call at the line, just like the toss on 3rd and 11 last week.

TB picked when to stack the box and when to play soft; Dak took advantage of the run defense, and when they backed off and only had 6 in the box, he let Zeke and the OL do it, like the big run at end.

Other than the jet sweep, the playcalling never stopped us. Penalties and a few missed blocks are the only thing that stopped us.

Who the blank is unbeatable at home Tony Dungy?!?!

I like Tony Dungy, but found his analysis a little too one sided following the game.

Dallas shot themselves in the foot more times than Tampa Bay did.

The Bucs second touchdown was pure luck. Jameis Winston chucked a deep prayer that was underthrown and somehow got tipped into the wideout's hands.

Bemoan Tampa missing opportunities while ignoring that 75% of the projected starting Dallas Rushmen didn't dress for the game.

Big D was also without a starting CB and the regular Nickel safety.

 

[Elusive6thRing]

Actually if Philly beats the Giants Thursday, and it's in Philly, we wrap up homefield advantage. Then we'd have 2 meaningless games as far as seeding.

 

[Cowboy89]

The penalties are an issue....it needs to be corrected. I'm very uncomfortable this game went down to the wire....it shouldn't of...

 

[Cowboys22]

We absolutely need that Philly game to be a non-factor.

Then they need to forget what anyone else is doing and take care of business with a W.

 

[khiladi]

Tampa Bay only really moved on hurry up.

Zeke has a massive head

lookin like he wants some Tafoya in his life

 

[lwehlers]

Whatever , but JG has to grow a pair and over rule him, 3rd and 2 and what kind of play call was that , quick pass, run or even screen make sense , keeping the ball and running around and sliding in , to cause 4 th down was bad

I just about lost it when we did not run the ball and end the game right there. playcalling sucked big time tonight. I am glad that the cowboys over came bad coaching tonight.

 

[Westcoasthabsfan]

Zeke needs 253 yards over the next two games to beat Eric Dickersons rookie rushing record...Can he do it?
