Did we throw that game?

[juck]

Many things were mighty fishy. Dak threw every pass offline except the td. They took zeke out at most important times. Very odd

 

[dwreck27]

I wouldnt go that far.... but if anything I didnt feel I was watching the cowboys offense and the usual flow it is...

But it is what it is...

 

[CATCH17]

I think our offense throughout the Garrett history just struggles against teams that press their coverage and blitz.

We've seen Romo fail numerous times against the same type of scheme.

We needed more from the run game tonight or something offensively to get guys off their coverage.

 

[DABOYZ]

Not sure the players threw the game but the play calling was obvious. 1 win away from clinching home field and this team has looked liked crap for a few games. Wish we had Jimmy or Parcells coaching this talent. Cutting a player now would work.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I think they just laid an egg. Been partying too much.

 

[jrumann59]

No teams have figured out Dak does not throw "deep". Cover his underneath routes and apply pressure. Dak does not see stuff developing down field very well they took their chances and won big.

We had a reasonable run game with Zeke, but didn't utilize ( at least to me) any play action off it to convert first downs. Sure we had one great deception TD but other than that we were held in check, and once again Eli gets a W because of his D.

Receivers couldn't get open. Forced Dak to hang around the pocket longer than he should. Probably lost trust in throwing that slant check down route. We'll bounce back.

Jason tried to send a message with Lucky. The defense was obviously fired up. The offense has been getting worse week to week.

 

[pugilist]

No

I don't know with the we I assume ur a coach or player, so u tell me did u throw the game away

They gotta do something to get a guy open. Drags Dez across the defense or something.


It is not fair to Dez that we only want to call on him when we are completely desperate.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

We are using reverse psychology. In 2007 we swept the Giants and they beat us in the playoffs so this year we thought we'd do something different. lol

 

[links18]

Easier to accept that we threw the game than admit our MVP candidate rookie QB just blew chunks for the second game in a row and our offensive coordinator did nothing to help him all night?

 

[remdak]

If Cowboys threw that game, somebody forget to tell their defense about the plan.

Pretty much...

 

[Bullflop]

I think we simply got outplayed by an opponent that wanted the win more desperately than we did. We'll possibly meet them again in the playoffs and see if we were simply outmanned or not. At least, we'll have the home field advantage in that one for whatever good it does. Perhaps they respond better to playing in the cold than we do -- that's another thing that might be determined later on. We just lost the game, period.

 

[ShiningStar]

I wouldnt say "threw it" but if Dunbar isnt cut and sadly morris, and id replace Dunbar with McFadden and bring in a solid FB to help out. Sorry but this coaching staff needs to make changes and they have to do it now if they want to be taken serious for the playoffs, not a SB run, but 1 win in the playoffs. I just felt the Giants know who to step up for Dallas and Garrett gets played unless hes being bailed out and sorry Romo wont be doing the bailing anymore for this ship.

 

[Ultra Warrior]

With the Division title & a 1st round Bye on the line, what reason would we have to "Throw that game"?

 

[Silverstar]

No

The division crown was on the line, not to mention a 1st round bye.
