Did we start tanking yesterday?

[jazzcat22]

Tank no, SANK, yes.....well, the mast is still above water. With Jerry holding on with a balloon saying...BUT WE HAVE TALENT....

The Pack fielded a makeshift O line and put up 233 yards rushing.

THAT is coaching up, not the drivel that Garrett spews.

Don't forget their main WR threat, Jordy is out for the year...

With Garrett at the helm tanking comes naturally.

 

[Aven8]

Nope, they just are not that good. They have been spanked pretty good by the top teams in the league and only managed wins against teams under .500. They are possibly the worst team in the league right now, but they play in the most laughable division in football so it has inflated their record.

I actually think you might be right about being the worst team in the league.

 

[Cmac]

McClain tapping out? He got karate kicked upside the head!!!

I'm with you.....McClain tapping out?????.....poster must have meant Morris.....had to mean Morris.

 

[RS12]

It was an organic thing that started in Philadelphia.

This 100%. They are just bad. "Tanking" implies they could do better with the present coaches and players. I doubt it.

 

[cml750]

It is a sad reality.

 

[MRV52]

Did we quit? Nope, the coaching staff tapped out a long time ago this year.

 

[JoeKing]

The team didn't appear to me that they were intentionally tanking. I observed a good team in the Packers, man handling a not so good team. The Cowboys are what they are at this point and it's just very glaring when they play a better team. They can still do good things but not enough to win versus a good team. This season no tanking required if you want to "lose to win", it will just happen naturally.

Just curious who thinks we did.....I for one think we did. Right after they saw the Commanders/Eagles win....it was all for the draft pick.Tell tell signs like McClain tapping out.....Refusing to play the other QB after Cassell struggled. The lack of blitzing on defense. Playing soft in coverage....the really poor tackling. Jerry, Stephen and the Ginger will say the politically correct things in the media....but I think your starting to see they are already playing for 2016.... and the high draft pick. ..

If that's the case I want everyone involved out of here.

That obviously can't/won't happen because you can't remove the owner but I'd be wanting them all out of here if that was what they were doing.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

I know it will hurt some that want it so...but No...I don't think they have started tanking.

I will say this, as I have said elswhere, if this defense keeps trying to cover the ineptness of the offense...I think it is only a matter of time before you hear defensive players grumbling about the offense and I am not talking Hardy but some others leaking discontent to the media.

The scary thing is...I don't think the offense is tanking but it is just so bad right now (Coaches included) that tanking would be a preferable excuse to actually trying hard and sucking at it so bad.

Agreed. I don't understand why fans think a team should not give their best effort. Why would you want someone on the team who decides they are not going to give 100%? How can you evaluate your talent if the players are "tanking"? I want everyone to give it 100% so we can see what we have and what we need to add. Of course I need to add my disclaimer that this staff cannot properly utilize the talent we have on this roster.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Exactly. That was like watching a chess match between a pro and a monkey. Dallas had no answer to what Green Bay was doing on both sides of the ball all game, it's terrible coaching. They didn't even try something different, much like the Atlanta game..

Defense was stopping them regularly but when they are on the field for 40 minutes out of 60 they will get tired. The last touchdown was because we failed at 4th down and the got the ball back on really short field. Without the defense until the last 4 minutes or so it would have been worst

No, we came to play there was effort but our lack of offense caught up with us as the game went on and our defense that did it's best to hang in fell apart. The Packers wore us down with the running game and we did little offensively to stay in it.

 

[NextGenBoys]

No. We're just not any good.

Pretty freakin simple.

 

[StarBoyz83]

They should tank Saturday so they don't accidentally win and help the stealers. Lol They won't win nevermind.

 

[Doomsday]

If they were going to tank, last week was the time to start not this week.

Players don't care about tanking. 25 guys won't be Cowboys next year and the other 25 are worrying about their job and next contract. No one is putting up bad game tape so that someone else might get a better draft pick.

Stop thinking like a fan. WAS and PHI winning had nothing to do with yesterday's performance. They just got beat.
