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

Again, hendershot didn’t trip anybody

The lions DE tries to trip Pollard. And the official throws the flag on Dallas

Did they show a replay of that? I know Hendershot looked upset about the call.

Terrance Steele damn near got Dak turned into a pretzel tonight. I think going forward we need to give him help, or Dak's going to get hurt.

He SUCKS TOO. That loser had better start playing better.

I know our OL is trying and not lazy, but they looked disinterested tonight, which I know isn’t true. In this season where OLs are hustling and pushing their RBs 5 extra yards, on those tough runs up the middle when Pollard was having his only success nd driving his legs, our OL, including Zach Martin, were doing exactly what they were doing on the tackles behind the line…standing there watching. No one played till the whistle; no one was looking for someone to hit when they missed a block, simple HS stuff. On one run that Pollard kept alive and even the announcers commented on his leg drive as he picked up 3-4 extra yards, the OL just stood there watching till he was stopped. Not one guy ran up there to push or help him. Sad.

Philly is in the crosshairs . They been struggling handling the front runner pressure. Cards might beat them.

Never saw one.

Clarke just said Rashaan Evans. What an idiot

 

[boysfanperiod]

Why did the clock keep stopping when DET used their last TO?

 

[Rayman70]

Read this guys. Facts.

Bottom line is the Lions tried to be sneaky and trick Dallas into not knowing who can run out for a pass. I’ve never seen when a LT can line up and just run out for a pass in my lifetime. And then Detroit got caught being sneaky

Also if they call the tripping on Detroit and NOT hendershot. It’s 1st and 10 on the 17 yard line. So who really got robbed here?

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

At that point it isn’t about trusting anything. It’s about getting the clock to as little time as possible when the Lions get there ball back.

And even if they want to put it away, as MM claims, you don’t need a bomb, just a first down. I’m actually ok with passes if they are the super high percentage variety which are basically running plays disguised as passes.

I agree and I think he should have tried to run the ball but the Cowboys haven't had much luck running out the clock. It's going to cost us in the future.

awww mr Hennessy--- no love ????...dang

Jimmy getting inducted overcame ur trash guarantee jinx

 

[XXLMike]

A man doesn't let his emotions affect his entire team on his play calling. Should have kicked the XP. Had three chances to do it.

He’s a winner he went for it. His players will cry with him. They’ll run through a wall for him.
I don’t see that with McCarthy

 

[VaqueroTD]

Going for the kill shot 3 times, I like it personally and I think this brings the team together that they trust the head coach to put the ball in their hands to win the game.

He has some Jimmy in him, no doubt. Aggressive as hell, and until that point all at the right time. But that was one of the moments when he had to be the leader and realize what was best for the win.

 

[buybuydandavis]

I’m torn. The defender makes the good play; the offensive player makes the bad play by not protecting the ball. Why change the rule to reward the player who fumbled instead of rewarding the player who made the great play?

The rule has nothing to do with whether a defender makes a play or not. Offensive player loses control. Ball goes out of bounds.
Ball should go back to last point of possession whether the ball bounces into the end zone or not.
Did the defender make such a better play if the ball goes forward a foot instead of backward a foot? If anything, the ball going forward means the defender made less of a play.

 

[GORICO]

Nah you a jinx

mr Hennessey---well even if we win i am a jinx?.....dang

 

[Rayman70]

You play on the riverboat don't get pissed if snake eyes gets rolled.

Exactly

 

[GORICO]

He wasn’t loose tonight, he was lost!

mr Tabasco----ugly win...but i'll take it after first seeing them what appeared to go up 21-20

 

[Floatyworm]

espn is about to lose there lunch over that call on the lions they wanted dallas to lose so bad

Honestly....I can't blame them. How many more times do we need to see an official screw something up before the league admits there is a problem? Every week it's something....As a fan...I just want to see an unbiased...impartial crew that can do the job....competently

I'd have to look at the numbers, but I liked going for it. Especially away.

Your team just scored. You have the mo. Defense is dejected. Hit em again while they're reeling.
