Does anyone else get frustrated watching other teams offenses?

Big Ben threw the ball 55 times in that game today. I do not want tony throwing the ball that much. I don't think he makes it thru half a sea...... Oh wait....
I liked our mixture of last yr.. I'd like more screens and I agree that our routes seem to take forever to develop. And for goodness sake play action passes please.

When was the last time Dez ran a cross? Or had a screen? **** you Garrett

Or play action..

I wonder if Dez gets mad as well, other teams seem to have plays for the best receiver on their team, like the Texans have for Hopkins, Chiefs today for Maclin and bills for Watkins.

The funny thing is that when TO was here, under Garrett's offense, they moved him around a lot. I don't know what happened.

I was kind of thinking the opposite watching the Seattle/Steelers game. I was thinking how good both of those teams defensive units used to be...and how bad they looked in the game overall.

What we had in the game was.....

- Big Ben throw for the most yards EVER vs. a Seattle defense

- Russell Wilson throw 5 TD's for the 1st time in his career...and HC Mike Tomlin being a defensive guy

- A combined 69 points scored...the Cowboys yielded 13 points to Seattle (but only scored 12 themselves)

Couldn't believe how bad some of the tackling was...course we've seen that with the Boys as well.

Unfortunately for the Cowboys...even when the offense with Cassel & Weeden might have done enough to win, the defense has let the game slip, and has been particularly bad in a few games in the 4th quarter & 2 OT games. One exception being the Miami game...where they allowed zero 4th quarter points & had 3 sacks in the 4th. On the flip side, the offense failed to score a TD in 3 out of 5 games at one point. They haven't been able to put the two together. Turnover margin has been another huge negative factor this season.

I think everyone wants more creativity on offense. The one thing that perhaps annoys me the most, is when they do something that works...and then we don't see it again. They've needed to adjust...cause this certainly isn't 2014, where a healthy Dez had 16 TD's...Romo missed 1 game & played at an MVP level...and Murray was the OPOY.

I agree. With Blaine Gabbert today against a pretty darn good defense..Boldin was 8 catches for 93 yards....and 11 targets. Jarvis Landry today with Tannehill? 13 for 165...targeted 16 times.

Meanwhile we have dez getting 8 targets and 2 catches for 26 yards. Like I said the other day...somebody is not doing their job. I don't know who to blame, but this is an epic failure. Only one game this year has Dez had double digit targets. I don't care if me or Amy50632 was QB'ing, they need to find a way to get more production out of Dez. The most catches he has had in a game this year is five. FIVE. And only ONCE has he went over 50 receiving yards. I am not necessarily blaming Dez here. I dont know who is at fault.....but this is an organizational failure.

Maybe someone could grow some Ezekiel Elliot gonads and speak up.... Oh but wait, then they would be a TO. (yep even I said that last week lol) But perhaps it's warranted at this time. I mean look what happened this week for him against Michigan. The coaches listened and it worked big time.

Like I said earlier, watching this offense is very painful, and a big struggle..It's bad football.

I grew up a huge Tom Landry fan and absolutey loved his Belichick like innnovation.

There is something really really wrong with that statement.

I know what you're trying to say, but horrible wording. Especially since Landry may be tops on the list for innovation.

This season has been painful period. The offense...horrendous turnover margin differential...defensive difficulties (particularly in the 4th Q & OT)...the injuries...Dez's monkey madness...Hardy's picture sadness...coaching...etc. etc. The whole shebang has been one big fluster ****.

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

Does anyone else get frustrated watching other teams offenses?

Yeah, and their defense too.

 

[Junglist]

Honestly, I just laugh when I watch other teams play. I laugh because of how many simple things we do WRONG. we can't even confuse an elementary school team.

 

[BlueStar22]

Hell yes, i'm frustrated right now. Pats have a gozillion injuries on offense and still finding a way to win. Everyone wants to fire Garrett but if you ain't bringing in a Belichick type, I don't want to hear it. Yes they cheat but the proof is in the pudding. They know what they're doing.

 

[Frosty]

Its tough watching other teams win with a 40yr old backup QB or washed up QB's like Blaine Gabbert. Just amazing how other teams face injuries and suspensions and they find ways to WIN at least a few games....

 

[ConstantReboot]

Peyton and Sparano moved him around not Garrett. Once Garrett got a hold of this offense he got rid of things that worked and went with a plain vanilla offense.

 

[Cmac]

Yep....when I can predict the play callin' that JG allows with this team.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It's a process.

 

[TheBigEasy]

If you consider wanting to demolish a 65" 4K television as being 'frustrated' than yes, I'm right with you. Seeing how many ways Poopsburgh uses Antonio Brown is beyond frustrating. He may be faster than Dez but Dez could thrive if used that way. I just don't get it nor do I really want to get it...for my TV's sake.

 

[John813]

Depends. I laugh just as hard when I watch the Dolphins offense.

 

[Alexander]

Depends. I laugh just as hard when I watch the Dolphins offense.

They fired their OC today. So they have hope.

 

[cej757]

a screen would be against the Skins last year where he scored a TD and we never ran that play again.

Romo audibled to that screen too. Dez did the rest.
