Football is a team sport. If only one man cost the entire team a loss, that only means that everyone else let that one man down because they all didn't play well enough as a team to win.

The cowboys have been a Dr Jeykill Mr Hide this year in some of their losses, and yesterday was really no different. Let's face it, everyone on this board knew this team has two different personalities and everyone knew they could play like they did last night because they have done it this year.

Sad to say, I'll probably never throw a player under the bus in a loss, but when it comes to the Cowboys, I have no problem throwing Jerry Jones under the bus for his management style LOL

I just want to know who in the heck called that very last play last night?

Heck, we can throw Shultz under the bus for having a brain fart on his last play to come to that head scratching last play.

So let's say Diggs makes that INT, SO WHAT? Then it ends up 12-12 and we assume Dak is going to win that battle regardless of regulation or OT? I'm not buying that.

Diggs lost the game for us by basically avoiding Kittle on the bobble catch. If he would have smacked him after the first bobble, instead of cowering away from him, their TD drive would have been stopped right there.
Exactly that drive would have been stopped Cliff Harris Ronnie Lott Jack Tatum Mel Blount men that put fear in receivers.

Trayvon Diggs should be a volleyball player.

For all those that want to put the blame on DAk. He certainly deserves his share but what he was being asked to do and process had a far greater degree of difficulty than the two things trayvon Diggs failed to do.

He purposely tried to avoid contact with kittle and dropped a ball that was right in his hands whether he was a wide receiver or defensive back or just a kid brought in to a sandlot game.

It is not throwing a player under the bus if it's true. The Dr. Jeykill and Hide effect comes from the one who handles the ball most of the time and is Mr. Inconsistent. We need better quarterback play.

That's true, and I personally don't believe Diggs lost that game, but in the spirit of this thread, he certainly could have helped win it.

If he'd run into Kittle instead of running in front of him, he would have been there in time to keep him from catching it. And what's with the name calling?
You know what's worse Runny.

The media has a new 49ers catch to replay over and over again and make us stomach for the next 10 years.
Cliff Harris would have hit kittle so hard his ancestors would have felt it and that ball would be bouncing along the turf and we would see a minimum amount of replays because it was the Cowboys of a great defensive play and the drive would have been stopped giving us a chance to win the game.

Something odd going on with Diggs. He had opportunity to strip a few catches and never tried. Is he betting against his team?

And yet, Lamb's catch after being hit early, right after having his fingers taped up was a much better catch...but you won't see that replay after this week.

It's just so easy to blame Dak when we really know the pressure started to overcome him.

The pressure took him out of his comfort zone and we know what happens when this happens we get mistakes.

The car guys will appreciate this think of it like taking your '60s -'70s muscle car taking it to the red line and missing a shift it overrevs and you blow it up.

That's what happens to dak when he's under too much pressure and has to process too many things and try and make a completion under too much pressure out of his comfort zone.

Digs on the other hand had to make two basic football plays he didn't have to run anywhere to catch anybody he was right perfectly in the right spot he just had to engage and he was a gutless punk and avoided contact.
On the second the ball was right in his hands couldn't have been any easier any 10th grade kid could have made that catch.


Trayvon Diggs let this team down in a big way he never should be in a playoff game ever again because he is not willing to do what's necessary to win and cost all his team and opportunity because he failed to try

Yes Dak tried and failed but trayvon Diggs refused to try refuse to sacrifice for his teammates and did nothing but think of himself this is why I blame him.
Everybody on that defense was giving their life's blood to keep us in this game and playing for one another and he let them all down.

Thanks for getting me back on track.

What has happened to Diggs is mental. He is scared. Something has him spooked. I don't know what it is. However, having him on the field helps the secondary not get shredded. I hope he gets over whatever is ailing his game right now.

So the first Dead Cat's....Diggs and the Defense. A Defense that conceded 9pts in three quarters, only giving up 10 more in the 4th once they're gassed.
No not the defense everyone on that defense played 100% over their heads.

Everyone but trayvon Diggs who let the whole defense and the team down

I hope we trade that neutered punk and get a real man to play cornerback

Diggs' refusal 2 tackle was an issue again. Let him walk. F him. He can be replaced. He has a terrible attitude and is selfish. He dropped an easy int btw. Might have turned the tide.

That whole post is compromised by that very first sentence. Maybe we can get a law drafted that excludes any pressure on Dak? Just for clarity is that physical or mental pressure on Dak?
