The game was in the last qtr, we had a choice between pinning the Giants deep in their own territory so we could get the ball back or force a turnover. But kicking that FG didn't accomplish anything because it still meant the Giants only needed a TD to win which they did. Who knows, we punt and get another stop and then can extend the lead to 23-13 since momenum would have been on our side.
extending the lead to 6 in the 4th qtr was stupid because it was so much time left in the game so you would think at that point you would only want to punt or score TD
FG's are fine if they are extending the lead to 9 or more.
Does anyone understand the point I am making? If the Giants get the ball on their own 10yd line they may panic and throw a INT. It;s not the same when you have GOOD FIELD POSITION
I see your point.
My concern is why the coaches are playing for FGs with a defense like we have?
We are playing not to lose and that never works in the NFL.
Garrett is abysmal.
He has no clue.
And Linehan maybe the wrong guy to be teaching DAK.
He calls a very conservative game in the second halves of games.
He starts out well..but increasingly calls short passes and b/w the tackle run plays way too much.
It was obvious Zeke was having trouble in the middle of the line and only flashed when he went off tackle.
There were no quick pitches..no quick passes to the edges..
everything was up the middle..which the JINTS STOPPED ALL GAME.
THIS IS LIKE LAST YEAR.
We have progressed nada.
