Guys who needed to play better today for the Cowboys to win

[perrykemp]

1. Sterling Moore - probably cost the Cowboys the game. His inability to cover Adams was so damaging
2. Crawford - 0 sacks, 0 solo tackles, 0 assists. They needed more from him today. I EXPECTED more
3. Murray. Such a good game except the fumble nullifies itC
4. Bailey. Wasn't his finest moment. Short kicks and a missed field goal. They need better from their best players and he is one of their best players
5. Spencer - 0 sacks, 0 solo tackles, 1 assist. You had a great run as a Cowboy. I wish you best luck with your new team next year
6. Wilcox - He rarely seems to be involved in pass coverage and when he is it's usually bad. See the Adams long play.

Agree with the list. I think Spencer may be back though. He was very good last week.

Dan Bailey was the biggest disappointment to me when you compare how excellent he has been his career.

Moore of course just blew it but I didn't have high expectations for him to begin with.

He could maybe be a 3rd down pass rusher. I don't see him as an everydown DE any more.

Bishop was better than Crawford unfortunately

 

[Staubacher]

Bailey declined as the season went on.

Kickers are fickle.

 

[Szczepanik]

Bailey's FG was partially blocked, I'd take him off the list.

Good point on the block.

Agree good point. We need to improve ST overall

Pretty shocking that Crawford and Spencer combined for zero sacks or solo tackles

 

[big dog cowboy]

Several good candidates as there usually is after any game win or lose. But Murray HAS to hold onto that ball. Also we clearly we need better pass rushers. At least 1 and 2 would be better.

Not sure what happened with Bailey late in tne season.
Love this guy , btw.
But he had a potentially season ending miss last week. Then missed again this week, got ano another chance and missed gain..thought he second miss was tipped.

Still love him on our team.

Bailey's FG was partially blocked, I'd take him off the list.

He still missed on the first attempt.

Bishop had 5 total tackles. Something to build on for next year.

I'm still not sure how I feel about Crawford yet.

Chris Jones got a spot in my rudimentary in-game notes. Touchback and a short punt, ended up below average net for NFL. Packers got TDs after each punt. A full season of that is adding ~20+ points to a defense's points allowed on average.

 

[SportsGuru80]

None of our DBs have good ball skills (no homo)

Good list - would add Ro McClain to it. Only played first series.... Perhaps just bad luck with head injuries, but I just expected more. Not the guy I thought he was.

Some concerns about the LB corp next year:

• Lee's reliability
• Rolando McClain's reliability
• Anybody else concerned Carter performed his best in his contract year? If they resign him and get the guy from the last month of the season it's worth it. If they get the guys with no heart from vast stretches of the previous season and a half before that, heck no.

Tough calls.

Sterling Moore was awful today and to me cost us game for sure. Murray's fumble hurt but we overcame it. I have to say Moore, the Dline, and Bailey.

I'd like to bring the entire band back except for the scrubs like Watson, Anderson and Cam Lawrence.
