GB - Quick thoughts Week 14

[Galian Beast]

Have to say I'm beyond disgusted with this game and not just because I made a bet with a Giants fan that will leave me in a Giants shirt for my facebook profile picture for the rest of the year, but because Dak was absolutely garbage in this game just as he was in the Vikings game.

Not sure what Linehan and Bryant were doing in this game, but they did us no favors. Elliott had 86 yards in the first half alone on 15 carries. He had only 9 carries in the second half.

Prescott had 37 attempts in a game where he couldn't hit the broadside of a barn. That's absolutely ridiculous. He should have been benched at half-time. I would say he single handed gave the game away, but he had a lot of help by Bryant.

Feel so sorry for the defense that played a super bowl caliber game. Sean Lee and Co played their hearts out, and it was wasted on a rookie QB who had no idea what he was doing out there. The last drive was an absolute microcosm of the game. Had no faith whatsoever that he would get the job done, zero. Never once felt that way with Romo with the ball at the end of the game. He couldn't complete one pass...

 

[perrykemp]

1 rushing attempt for 1 yard for Prescott.

Frankly, I don't think they leveraged his mobility enough. Too much dropping back straight back in the pocket.

 

[Cowboyz88]

Dak was bad…no other way to slice it.

1 rushing attempt for 1 yard for Prescott.

Do you see how long he waits in the pocket? He had no awareness tonight. Didn't know when to hit the checkdowns and didn't know when to go underneath...

 

[Solution]

And this is why home field advantage is a must for this team. You would think the cold would benefit us with how this team is built, but Dak just proved he is not yet capable of throwing a decent ball in that sort of weather.

 

[Galian Beast]

If anyone thinks Dak still gives us the best chance in the playoffs, they're absolutely dreaming.

I could not find a single game since 2006 where Dallas put up less than 14 points against any Giants team, regardless of the defense or the venue. Matt Cassel put up 20 points last year...and we know all about his "prowess" as quarterback. For me, the honeymoon is over. This is two games consecutive...and he will continue to see what is befuddling him until he figures a way to beat it.

A QB who can't play in the cold does not bode well for the future.

It looked like they were marching personnel groups out there just so other teams have something to gameplan. Dak/Dez chemistry is still hit and miss. First INT ok Dez slipped coming out of his cut, 2nd OK maybe Dez thought the ball would not come to him with a safety over the top, the fumble is on Dez, which is par for the course when he is not involved early. All that aside with those 3 turnovers we were in position all game and Dak was either high, late or just horrible with ball placement.

 

[sbark]

Well, at least we didnt peak early...........................

this inner division game as it bogged down, is where I thought Linehan/ Garrett scheme would bring out some motion for Dez, some stack plays, some rub routes..............something to help the rookie Qb vrs. the Giants 2 deep zone, which give Dallas trouble most of the time.

Ok. Ignored.

I agree...sadly, after tonight, the writing is on the wall...and now the questions start...the hedging starts...the doubt starts...the media circus starts. I just don't think Romo has many more big hits left in his body at this point.

 

[perrykemp]

Yes, let's hope and pray that Dak isn't "one of those guys" who has trouble in cold weather.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Romo doesnt lose this game, sorry.

 

[Aven8]

The game plan was erratic with no rhythm. We are too hard headed. Should have gotten Dak in the hurry up. Outside of Elliott the enitire O was awful, including coaches.

 

[Zordon]

1 rushing attempt for 1 yard for Prescott.

i don't know what happened to the bootlegs from earlier in the season.

Easily worse than the first game...by far.

 

[kramskoi]

It's like he forgot that he could take off and run the ball...not just take coverage sacks. Incomprehensible play.

Its crazy to start questions at 11 and 2.... Even the best Cowboys teams in history lost some stinkers and hasnt accomplished what this team has in the regular season.. We lost 1 game, lets give them a chance to rebound to see how they respond.

 

[kramskoi]

Two games...2 for 24 on third down. Houston...we have a problem...
