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

[HeavyBarrel]

Tired of not defending the home field....

 

[Doomsay]

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.

Did yah watch the game?

 

[TINGS21]

Two home losses makes it worse.

Damn those Seahawks for us playing them on the road

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Mcclain was terrible- Missing tackles on Colt Mccoy you know youre bad.

Still upset about the long developing play action deep pass. We never tried it.

Ugly loss .. Unfortunately it was bound to happen... Dallas looked flat across the board .. Need to go back and remember how much this stings and not let it repeat ... The probability of another loss happening like this is good but that's why they play the games .. Stop eating the cheese dallas .. You just got beat by an inferior team .. Bright spot
Dallas is still .5 game up in first at 6-2 In a season that most of us and the nation predicted 5-7 wins .. 6-2 at half way point...I'll take it .. Not happy with this loss and have another tough game against Arizona ... Focus on Az .. Scrap out a win ... One game at a time :.

If Romo said he can play there is no reason for him not to go in, other than someone deciding FOR him that that's the end of his night. The problem was we got away we from formula a bit, and simply made too many mistakes (Murray fumble was huge). We lost on 3rd down and we let the Skins stay balanced enough to put dents in the D.

The game losing play was 2nd and 2 in OT. Skins were reeling vs the run and we kept trying to throw it. Dez was a non-factor today. I think Dunbar could have helped us in this ballgame more on circle routes or underneath stuff but we didn't give it a shot. Why wasn't Escobar seen much in this game?

It was a poorly played game by the Cowboys. Protection scheme was awful. Trust and believe that Arizona watched this game very carefully and they will bring the house next week. Let's see if we can adjust.

Defensively just not good enough tackling otherwise not a horrific effort. McCoy made plays and had some luck on his side tonight, and our pass rush was just a tick late too often and our LB's and S's missed tackles tonight they've been making by and large all year. I bet Ro would want this ballgame back and Church too.

Losing Durant is bad news he was playing furious out there tonight. Need more from Bruce Carter going forward.

Prognosis: Not the worst thing to happen to this team to lose to Washington tonight, but we will have to earn every victory by outplaying the opponent. Miracle grabs (Dez vs Houston, T-Will vs Seattle) aren't going to happen each Sunday, and DeMarco must fix his ball security issue. Less than our best is beatable by anyone.

We departed from what got us to 6-1, the defense was made to look like 2013 against a bottom5 team, that's not an overreaction IMO. You can see this as just a tough loss or an inflection point, to me it seems like the latter. Hope I'm wrong.

I understand that, but don't give up. I'm not happy about the way we lost this one either.

 

[Rogerthat12]

I put way more blame on the offense and the offensive coaching staff. We know what this defense is they aren't going to dominate but they hold their own for much of the night. They got sacks, got a turnover, missed some tackles but man the offense and the offensive coaching staff should take the majority of the blame tonight.

I agree, run the freakin ball! Stop the freakin turnovers! Though you see what happens when they go pass happy, the defense can not hold either.

 

[MissouriCowboy]

I still venting

 

[ryanbabs]

Thanks, Don. You are right. I am really mad, because a really thought we were gonna win tonight. My emotions are just boiling right now! I really thought Tony was gonna pull it out for us. I even argued with my house folks that Tony has done miraculous things with the most horrible injuries, and I really thought he was gonna do it again tonight. He thought he was, too, which is why he demanded to go back out. You are wiser, and the voice of reason to me, and thank you for being nice. I respect you very much.

I think if the field position had been better, he may have. We had absolutely horrible field position tonight.

 

[Clove]

Romo has been doing good all year long. But Washington (I refuse to call them by their nick name) they had nothing to lose and went into an all out blitz look and Romo was just confused all night long. Meanwhile, Weeden came in and had no problems with it. Strange.

That's what angers me the most. You turn away from what got you here at a time when it was working and you NEEDED it the most. Unbelievable.

 

[lane]

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.

beasley got two looks...first one was a terrible pass by romo...second one was a about a 15 yard or so great catch and run.

romo was awful tonight...

did gavin even play tonight?

i agree completely that we were flat tonight.

i will give respect to jim dialing up exotic blitz packages.

 

[Hoov]

Romo first passing play was a sack/fumble on a blitz where he just didn't see/feel the pressure at all - and it happened at the. 5 yard line. We recovered it, but that was enough proof he was not mentally in the game. Whether it's the injury or just haslet and pressure situation it was obvious he just was off.

Is anyone else curious to see if they could have scored with weedon ?

Why did romo force himself into a game he was playing poorly in and hurt. Why ?

Why mclovin why

 

[yentl911]

I don't see anything positive from this. If you would have told be we would be 6-2, etc... That doesn't do squat for me. We should be 7-1 if these coaches had any clue how to call a game. Linehan has been great up to this point but this was embarrassing.

My brother in law was texting me laughing because we were getting away from Murray.

We should have thrown a saddle on Murray and taken it right do nth field for a TD in OT. Maybe a couple of play action passes at most - not back in shotgun when it didn't work all night.

Linehan - please remove your head from your *** now

 

[MissouriCowboy]

they just asked him. garrett just said he has complete confidence in scott and his balance.

lordee

 

[basilhayden]

I understand that, but don't give up. I'm not happy about the way we lot this one either.

Don't mistake b#$%hing with giving up.

 

[ryanbabs]

Look everyone what happened happen all we can just do is be thankful we have six wins, Tony ok and that they can learn from this.

I think that's part of the problem. This team seems not to learn from mistakes. This looked too much like the last five years.

they backed off and stopped blitzing.
