Game Day ***Cowboys vs Lions Post Game thread***

[SacredStar]

Ohhhh, Dan is not happy. Walked out of his post game interview

BS…..how? 70 reported eligible nd they announced him.

1. only one lineman per play is allowed to report, so 68 was out of it.
2. 70 covered up 68 instead of being off the line.

Like us at various times, the Lions blew it with mental errors on a play that may have worked, but if they’d done it correctly, we may have covered 68 the way we covered 70

True. If the defense knows the rules, which it should, it isn't expecting 68 to run a route because he isn't eligible. Now, I don't know if they would have recognized that he was eligible if he hadn't been covered up, but defenders should be able to recognize when a lineman is in a blocking position and when he's in a receiving one.

It's been a rule for a long time. Change it now because we did it?

I felt like it should’ve been changed back when Derek Carr did it to us. It makes no sense.

 

[Kwyn]

One never did report

He said both did. 70 was first. End of story.

Another game dak won with zero run game by the way. He may not be elite but he's better than Romo ever was. Yeah I said it

Say it for the Boo mers in the back with their hearing aids out

It was stated it's on the agenda to address this rule in off-season. This suggests to me it had zero to do with tonights game.

Mike McCarthy's decision to call a pass play on 2nd down, especially considering the Lions had only one timeout left, was a tactical misstep. In that situation, a running play would have been more prudent, potentially shaving off an additional 45 seconds from the clock. Essentially, the game could have concluded within two snaps. This incident underscores a recurring issue with McCarthy's clock management skills. It's not the first time this year that such decisions have nearly cost us a game. It's imperative for McCarthy to address and address his clock managements shortcomings. Just a terrible call along with Dan Quin playing prevent defense with the middle of the field wide open.

Not sure if the questions were over or if Campbell just walked off the podium pissed. LOL

Plus dak has to figure out how to connect with cooks on the deep ball. he's open every week. also we need to stay healthy on the line to rebuild chemistry.

ps I meant run stopping lb er.

I will just say this. I have seen Dak overthrow Cooks before when he should have put more air under it. Tonight’s overthrow was fine with me. The safety was closing from the inside fast and was right on Cooks when the ball sailed over his head. Dak couldn’t put more air under that throw, in my opinion. It had to get in there before that safety got there to pick it.

Dan Campbell lost them the game. He should have took the extra point and took it to ot

 

[CrownCowboy]

This soft zone stuff. They had no timeouts left on the last drive so the thought process was to play back, keep them in the field of play so they can keep the clock rolling? We literally just let them go right down the field. Boggles my mind.

 

[MikeT22]

We look ready for the playoffs.

Well oiled machine.

 

[gimmesix]

Campbell just said in post game that two players can’t both report as eligible. 70 reported first so 68 couldn’t report.

Clear enough now but I don’t know if many people think of that.

Good for him to admit it.

 

[TheHerd]

Detroit says Refs screwed them on the 2pt conversion.

They are wrong and done know the rules

 

[rambo2]

Actually it wasn’t because philly isn’t losing so they are the 5th seed and we have the worst coach in the NFL

Lol, that's just stupid.

 

[Cmac]

We look ready for the playoffs.

Since I was asked on one of my posts.....are you serious or joking?

 

[cowboysfan99]

So my guess is the refs screwed up and announced only #70 as eligible and the Lions didn’t catch when they announced it.

Either way that’s two weeks in a row the defense folded in the end. Plus whoever called that deep pass on second down is a moron.

 

[boysfanperiod]

Why was the ref running away when they were reporting? Was he trying to clock the play? Is there a time limit to report or a limit to the number of reporting players? Usually when a player reports as eligible, the ref will announce it before the play. It was very awkward.

This gives me bad vibes like that playoff win against the Lions, when we were not called for a penalty then we lost to GB in the no catch.

 

[CWR]

They didn't give ticky tack PI calls all night for the most part. Well called game.

I totally agree. They let them play. That one wasn't really ticky tack though imo. Whatever, I won't apologize because we are usually on the losing end of officiating.
