Game Day ***Cowboys vs Commanders post game thread***

[Stash]

Garrett refuses to put blame on Linehan.

While he deserves it, it's smart not to make it public.

 

[kimrose]

lol troll. anyways it just proves how useless Jason Garrett is as a head coach.

Fool!?! --That's my SnoopDog impression, in case you didn't get that.

Yeah, I do agree, Jason should have been a leader and a real head coach and put his mutha shiznin foot down! He made some real bone headed decisions tonight. I just think really everybody was off tonight.

 

[basilhayden]

In the offseason we would have killed to be 6-2, we are getting beyond ourselves.

I'm gonna say I would have thought no better than .500 at this point. This team has exceeded expectations, but tonight everything was what we figured at the beginning of the season.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

That is the one and only bright side tonight.

The other bright spot is, making lots of mistakes WILL NOT always result in a win.

They must fix this or we will not make playoffs or we will be one and done, maybe a home game playoff loss.

 

[GOLDENCHILD1688]

2nd and 2 after a 8 yard run in overtime and we passed on both 2nd and 3rd down. Why in gods green earth?????our pass happy tendencies reared its ugly head once again. absolutely terrible play calling there.

dont even get me started on how they never max protected or did anything to adjust to the same all out blitz the entire night. this loss is clearly on the coaches tonight, we got outcoached and that was the difference in the game

 

[tyke1doe]

But, Dez is better than Irvin according to some. He made two big plays tonight, two plays! He was absent the rest..........

I still love Dez though, but he needs to be incorporated the whole game....probably due to coaching, IDK.

It's amazing how when we're riding high, we're the equivalent of the legendary Cowboys and Cowboy teams of old. But when we lose, we're worst than the 0-16 Detroit Lions.

 

[yentl911]

The problem is they seem unable to fix it all game long!

Yeah the fix is to run the ball down their throats - problem solved. They didn't stop Murray all night

 

[Boyzmamacita]

If Weeden had stayed in we would've ran Murray more.

 

[walrus]

brutal play calling, that's all I can say, BRUTAL!

totally agree, 2nd and 2 and 2nd and 3 and they go back to last year's play calling - lets throw the ball - stupid. If their pass/run plays today was 34/25 = lost, just like the first game. They need to keep a 50/50 ratio like in games 2-7 else the pass happy garrett cowboys will lose more often then not.

 

[DandyDon1722]

I'm honestly not sure it's positive news.

Unbelievable - honestly, I gotta keep saying to myself - their just fans...

 

[romothesavior]

No sunshine. It sucks. But it's not the end of the season. If anything, it's a wake up call; they know they can't lose the turnover battle every game and escape unscathed.

It's not the end of the season, you're right. Still 6-2.

But wake up call? What wake up call? What more does the coaching staff need to know that we need to RUN. THE. FOOTBALL.

It's an embarrassment. We should have shoved the ball down their throats all game. But no, let's clear out the backfield and block five on seven all night and throw dink and dunk BS.

 

[Naruto]

weeden would have won this game..

Yep the game wouldn't have even gone to OT.

Weeden kept the Skins defense honest and most importantly it kept our OC honest. We ran when we needed to run and played smart football

Guys we've seen this before from Romo he gets rattled by the blitz and turns to mush. He was about to go down on the final play when no one was even around him.

Weeden was the right call for this one. He may never have won another game in his career but tonight it would have worked no doubt about it

 

[mldardy]

We cratered and choked against a horrible team with a 3rd string QB, at home.

We just came off a 6 game winning streak and are leading our division. WTH are you talking about lost credibility. Give me a break.

 

[Pessimist_cowboy]

dez was not ready too play tonight. He got owned by a rookie .

 

[Fizziksman]

If Weeden had stayed in we would've ran Murray more.

na they would have just passed it to spite us.

 

[Doc50]

weeden would have won this game..

You don't know that.

Experience, recognition of defenses, and chemistry with receivers would all be in favor of Romo. I'm surprised that our vaunted OL couldn't pass block better, touted WR's couldn't get open against rookies, and our other array of weapons like Beasley and Escobar didn't even get a look. On top of that, our athletic LB's were supposed to be able to defend the short pass zone.
The whole team looked out of sync and did not execute or play to their strength, including the coaches.

 

[Tenkamenin]

dude wasn't getting open. Love Dez but no one was getting open… watch the film.

I will watch it again but he doesn't always have to be open, he's at his best when he has to jump for it.

 

[yentl911]

Stupid point.

Romo has been our starting QB all season and Murray has over 1000 yards rushing.

What he's saying is with Weeden maybe the coaches would have been more willing to stick with Murray

 

[Rogerthat12]

Spencer is so slow now, not the same player clearly. Jerry better be frothing with a DeMarcus Lawrence return or this defense will do us in going forward.

We made Colt look like Manning, what a joke!

 

[crazytown41]

Arizona is taking notes on this game..

Todd Bowles is one of the best DCs and a soon to be HC too. He's gonna clown us....
