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

[Rayman70]

We got a w in late December against an 11 win team ,on our way to yet another 12 win season and maybe a division title. Yet we have *****ing and moaning on here. Makes me vomit. Can we just celebrate the beautiful night we just had? Nobody cares what the ESPN propaganda outlet thinks. The win counts.

 

[CowboyinMD]

Can't stand SVP.

Thing is, if we don't win the division, this game will end up being meaningless, other than it putting us down a notch on the draft board.

Imagine if we are targeting a guy in round 1 or 2 and he goes to a team just ahead of us. We'll be so happy with this win when that happens.

 

[TheHerd]

It needed attention long ago.

Pollard:
1st 3 games: 65carries 264yds
Next 6 games: 73carries 265yds

Pollard has 1 game over 100yds
Pollard has 2 games over 75yds

I've said it every week: the lack of a reliable run game will doom this team.

OL is terrible run blocking. And only marginally better at pass protection. Needs serious help this offseason

Tyron ain't playing swing T any time soon. Maybe when he's 40 like Peters.

Move Tyler out to LT when we move on from Tyron. LT is just a more valuable position. Put our best option out there.

Not a fan of taking a LB in the 1st unless he's another edge rusher too. Base LBs just aren't worth that much unless they're true freaks, and such a guy isn't going to drop to us.

If there is a Fred Warner LB type at #1 when you draft you 100% take him. Should be what they are looking for. Tyron is having a great year but he gets hurt at the drop of a dime. It's handicapping. If he is 100% for 4/5 games in a role he can come in, that's great. We need a player like that! Still need to rebuild the line or start to. Steele is a major problem. Tyron, old and injured.

Center is like the 3rd problem out of 5 right now and I think Dak likes Biadasz. He's not elite but finding his replacement is lower on the totum-pole for sure.

 

[Rayman70]

Mike McCarthy will be the main reason as to why the Cowboys will lose in the playoffs. His game management is inexcusable and has gotten worse as the season has progressed.

Enjoy the victory. We earned it. It was a great night.

 

[BigD5]

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

They never showed a replay. I just rewound it several times on my directv

 

[buybuydandavis]

McCarthy knows we got away with one. Sometimes it takes luck. We finally got some.

Jimmy in the ROH.

The Curse is lifted!

If we win the SB this year, we'll be saying that last 29 were all The Curse!

 

[EPL0c0]

They have to draft the best LB or Left Tackle. No question. Tyron is welcome to stay but he needs to be a swing guy at this point in his career and come in when healthy. Steele is not going to get back I don't think. We may need two tackles. Center we can get in round 2/3 or FA, or keep Tyler which is probably what they'll do. They usually don't let their guys go.

they can draft Marco Olivas (LB-Lafayette) & Billy Shaeffer (LB-Lafayette)

 

[TheHerd]

I wish. I just went back through my DVR and pulled it up.

Did you see the trip?

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Even a good pass on the third try would have worked. Though the receiver clearly picked/blocked the db.

It's called a fail. Big moments call for proper execution. Goff didn't execute so that's bad on Detroit. Further, Goff had two defenders closing on him which "sped him up." Detroit failed. They wanted to be "ballsy" and failed.

Yes the line is a problem. But Dak has elevated his play to near elite level. That int he threw was his fault as he got greedy. But he's been why we win games.

 

[buybuydandavis]

We lose these type of games preJimmy being inducted into the ring. Curse has been lifted.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

Simple. Facts. Folks need to accept it and move on. Mm took the 3 at the end and it was why we won. Think about it, if we go for it on 4th and 6 to be super aggressive,but fail, they get the ball with a short field, more time left, and they score a game winner at the end to beat us. Mm would get run out on a rail if we lose 20 -17. We need to give the guy credit. He out coached Campbell at the end. Like it or not guys.

Dallas just beat a team that’s probably going to win 12 games, is now 4-2 against likely playoff teams, and people just can’t be happy.

 

[MS17]

Hey but he's a cool tough guy.

Yep, true. You know when fans see an opposing coach and say, "Man, I wish he was ours." ? That's Campbell to me.

Truth. Crazy stuff. Fans just dunno how to be happy. Wins in late December are harder. But we did it

 

[buybuydandavis]

Horrible? No but I do agree about the run plays. Rather see a bit more bootleg roll out passes to the tightends on first down. I feel Ferguson would have had success.

That's a very good play for us. Dak can run and Ferguson is good for YAC.
Luv me sum Ferguson running downhill, especially after so many years of Witten Sack of Potatoes just dropping when he's hit or tip toeing out of bounds.
If you're the bigger guy, look for contact.

I can argue we had a real chance to beat Miami last week as well.we were right there.

 

[Rayman70]

Dak is the MVP. Truly. He is locked in.

 

[BigD5]

Everybody on ESPN keeps saying oh well why did decker go over to the ref?? To just say hi???? But they have yet to mention even one time….. well why did 58 go over there for? Did he go to say hi?? Cause he’s not even mentioned as eligible or not

Detroit tried to pull a fast one and trick Dallas. Instead they confused the ref.

Also NO ONE has mentioned that if Dallas knows 68 is eligible….. maybe they would’ve covered him? They almost covered him anyway
