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

[DallasEast]

Am I crazy, or did we start Rod Smith?

I may be crazy but I remember Morris in the first FIRST half possession.

 

[Tabascocat]

When your LT struggles, what do you do? Run the ball!

15 rush attempts today.......15!

 

[85Cowboy85]

Reminds me of the Flozell Adams days. He was a frustrating player. John Madden once quipped he "Led the world in false starts."

But you put up with it, because you knew he had left tackle talent and if one of the backups had to come in it was going to be much worse.

 

[noletime95]

I don't understand why the coaches love Rod Smith so much.

 

[Gaede]

He did turn the ball over twice. Is that also excusable?

He was sacked 6 times by the same player. He didn’t have a chance

 

[dreghorn2]

I am absolutely incredulous.

In all my years of watching football i don't think i've ever seen a staff allow a player, and a team, to be embarrassed in that fashion.

For 50 years teams in similar situations have left backs into block or had them chip the DE before going out on a route, or lined up a TE on that side.

To leave an over matched player isolated like that is simply unbelievable. Do they not have any formation that allows for a TE to be lined up outside the LT? If not, couldn't they have made one up?!

Damn even with the game out of hand they still had the tackle lined up on an island, i mean, no joke, i don't think i have ever seen that. Their QB was getting blindsided with the game completely over, no help whatsoever, no TE, hell not even another lineman lined up like a TE.

I simply cannot believe what i just watched, what was it 8 sacks from that one position alone?

Jesus Christ.

I am so disappointed. Is it too much to ask for this team to show up and put up a fight? Losing on the road without some of your key players is not totally unexpected, but we didn't fight today. The O-line did not block for the pass or the run. When the run worked on one drive, we totally abandoned it when we got close to the goal line. The defense cannot play because one guy leaves? It makes no sense for Sean Lee to be that important. The defense played like holy hell today. I'm looking for a positive. I can't think of one.

The defense played great in the first half. They were flying around and hitting everyone. 10 points. That was a great performance. I had a feeling they couldn’t keep it up in the second half, and it got ugly without Lee.

The cops should have been called for assault. lol

 

[CWR]

Team gave up..

One of the few positives Garrett had for him was his teams not quiting. They looked pretty wupped this game, kinda of like quiters.

 

[haleyrules]

Anyway, Prescott got killed off the left side. Simple and no criticism. Just the reality.

 

[Zman5]

Deadskins put up a better fight against us with more starters missing.

 

[lwehlers]

I don't understand why the coaches love Rod Smith so much.

I wish I understood that too. there is a reason why the guy was undrafted and a fullback.

You just posted more solutions than Garrett has the capacity to process.

 

[Gaede]

The refs should have at least seen when he was tackled by his friggin face mask.

If that’s Tom Brady who get hit like that, the defender would get ejected and fined 15k

 

[khiladi]

27 with a floundering offense is really not a bad score.. I don’t think the defense played bad at all. Offensively, we were a mess.

This next game is going to define coaching.. because it was simply awful and the REASON we lost plain and simple..

Yea but after I saw that hit Dak took a couple of weeks ago , we aren't getting any help from the refs.

 

[lwehlers]

mcfaddon needs to play next week to see if he can get the offense going again. also I sure hope that smith can play.

 

[haleyrules]

Gonna be a long week round these parts

You ain't kiddin.

It was awful coaching!

They should be embarrassed! It like going to a basketball game and hearing someone in the stands yell “Break The Zone” when the team is clearly Playing man. Yet they yell all
GameBecause you don’t want to be the one to tell Them they don’t know what they are taking about.

Jason Garret is that guy.

 

[Melonfeud]

Reset and get ready for the Eagles.

Ha,maybe we could inflict some season/ career ending injuries upon EACH AND EVERY opponent that remains ,,,I'd settle for that simple vindictive payback casing-liner card in a sinister retribution ploy against the League at large and just for general practical purposes,,, ya,I'm kinda that way
