Game Day Cowboys vs Giants post game thread

[knightrider94]

Worse than the first game too

Given the weather conditions, I thought we would see him run more, but he actually ran less. There were lanes there. Makes no sense to me.

 

[KJJ]

All this talk about resting players that's BS, we got a lot of work to do!

Did the coaching staff bother watching the Pitt/Giants game? Pittsburgh screened them to death. Zeke should have had 10 receptions. Dak stunk, but the coaches staff was right up there with him.

Dak is regressing. This is two weeks in a row. It's a trend. He's an incredibly smart dude so I have faith he figures it out before January.

How on earth we had 3 TOs in that game and didn't take advantage is beyond me.

Offense had looked bad 2 weeks in a row. Dak looked his worst ever tonight. Not sure what to make of this. I get it, we aren't going to win every game but this one we should have had. How many punts today? How many times did we not convert on 3rd down? THAT is scary.

 

[drawandstrike]

We do play the Eagles in Philly. But if we take care of business vs. the Bucs and Lions like we're capable of, that last cold weather outdoor game won't mean anything.

I'll be totally honest: after that first TD, I thought we were gonna roll. Penalties weren't even an issue. Just horrible QB play is the most blame. Defense was lights out and got us some rare turnovers. We have Tony and I wouldn't be afraid to use him. 11-2 is a special record and we aren't guaranteed future success.

 

[Cowboys22]

So Romo would \have eluded the Giants pass rush all game? lol. Get real. Romo would have been sacked more than Dak.

They may have at least respected the pass a little bit at least.

Dak and Zeke need to stay at home and focus on the Bucs.
Scott Linehan called a game that looked reminiscent of the 8 and 8 cowboys.
I really don't want to see Lance Dunbar play another down. I really don't understand why this guy is on the field, especially on 3rd downs. I don't understand why Zeke is on the sidelines at the end of the game. Are they trying to 'experiment' before the playoffs?

God it feels that way.

Outside of the absolutely gorgeous TD call, this was not a creative game plan.

And even worse, why in the hell did they pas it so many times?

Nothing made sense.

Anyone thinking Dak's QB play last couple of games can take a team deep into the playoffs is foolish

He won 11 straight games. If I said that in preseason bet you say I'm foolish

 

[theebs]

Tried to tell everyone how good this defense is and how they were built to stop Dallas specifically. All I got was ridicule.

Credit the Giants and hope we don't see them again.

actually I am concerned about the east. IF this passing game is this bad again this team could crumble amid the nonsense.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

His last half of postseason play was essentially perfect, so you said it.

Keep drinking.

And Romo, who has won 2 play off games in 10 years, can?

 

[J_Allen]

Special Teams was a huge problem again. Let's not forget that.

 

[popp1234]

Hey, I blame losses on QBs and that's how I roll. So this loss is on Dak. Next week, I expect a new winning streak.

No doubt, Dak did not play well. However, if we take Dak out and replace him with Romo just to appease Jerry Jones' and some ignorant fan's fantasy of Romo suddenly coming back and leading us to a SB, we are in worse shape, from an orginazaional leadership standpoint than I thought. Also, what kind of message will we be sending to Dak?

By the way, people on this board hoping the Cowboys lose because of their Romo agenda are freaking disgusting! I know who you are!

 

[khiladi]

So our recievers were getting open? No. Was Dez getting open? No. Was Witten running downfield more than 5 yds? No. Did TWIll ever get open? No.

Was Dak making the hot read on the blitz, because the one time he did, Dez caught it but he fumbled.. Dez was open on the crossing route, which Dak threw behind him..

Actually penalties were an issue. Not the biggest but they were still an issue. We had like three punt returns in which they threw a flag that squandered out field position.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Don't know if the team has been reading too many of their press clippings but if this is a sign that complacency has set in we're in trouble!

I never got that sense - especially from the defense. They were aggressive and came to play.

It came down to offensive execution or the lack of it.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

I agree. I cannot understand why Dunbar kept being in seeming every 3rd down plays. I just don't understand the reasoning.

Reasoning is to keep Zeke from the wear and tear of passing downs... but teams know Dunbar won't run...atleast with Zeke the linebackers have to keep an eye on him

Thanks a lot, Lucky. This is on you!
