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

[Ace-is-high]

every time Cook ran a big run all I could think was that he was available when we picked Taco Charlton

 

[Zman5]

No there wasn't. You need to go watch the all 22. Witten was clearing out the middle shallow. Cooper was coming across the deep middle in the open space.

I saw him and even Collinsworth mentioned it in the broadcast.

 

[lsg13]

We move from the 5 all the way down the field by passing then decide we need to run the ball... I can understand running it once to use some clock but at least run it outside for something other than up the middle which had worked 0 times all night... but that second run, WOW, when you run the clock down you need to at least make sure you yourself score...
And the fair catch, yeah par for the course.

I'm wondering if we were tipping running plays to Zeke. I mean I never seen Zeke so stymied. Maybe he leaves his mouth piece dangling on passing plays and puts mouth piece in when he's gonna run. I dunno. smh

Parcells famously said that you are what your record is. Well at 5-4 it’s safe to say that we are a mediocre team that only has a single win against a team with winning record. Looking ahead at the schedule it’s hard to see this team making the playoffs

Let me guess

“We didn’t execute on all three phases”
“We fought hard”
“Our backs were against the wall and we didn’t quit”
“We’re going to get back at it tomorrow and continue to get better”

He should put on a squeaky nose when he does his press conferences and JJ can charge admission for bringing the circus back.

D-Line shouldn’t collect their paychecks this week.

I think that #90 ought to draw at least $500 bucks for his hustlin' hotboyz' styled signature panache he'd intermittently display

It was all about time. Making the fair catch was the right call. We got 3 plays out of that. Would you rather have Austin's 10 yard return that would have cost another 5 or 6 seconds?

You could have had 2 plays from their 45 yard line (at least) if Austin returned it

 

[Maverick84]

I hate Jason Garrett.

you miss Cole Beasley though, he woulda fair caught it too

I'm joking man.. I just think a smarter player plays situational football there, even if he was told "fair catch this b**** no matter what"

 

[cowboyblue22]

I think this team is done for this season don't see them making the playoffs its pretty bad when a coaching staff takes a team that has this much talent and they suck so bad the whole coaching staff sucks to much talent on this team to be a 5 win team

 

[wileedog]

I'm no coaching genius but zeke is sucking...why not change things up with pollard?

90 million reasons why.

Insult to injury

 

[toto1939]

It's a process...

With such incompetence running this team do playoffs really matter, there is no way in heck that Garrett could coach this or any team past the first round of the playoffs.

Dude could have run a lot farther than the 45. He had the whole darn sideline people. The blocking was actually setup too.

 

[Eightneight]

"We're going to learn from this and get better."

That's funny right there.

 

[lsg13]

"We're going to learn from this and get better."

Yes, in all three phases of the game.

The Lincoln Riley watch is on. 50 days until Black Monday.

Honestly? Austin would've gotten more yards than they got on the 2 ensuing plays, so yes.
