Mental blunders cost the Cowboys yet another game

[ultron]

Blown coverages.

2 Missed extra points.

Missed 2 point conversion in which we wouldn’t have even attempted had we made the extra points.

Pollard bumbling the ball and downing it on our own 1 which lead to a safety.

More blown coverages.

Helmet to helmet call on Hill when the Seahawks missed the 2pt conversion and all he had to do was run at Wilson with his arms up. I believe the momentum would’ve drastically been on our side had we only been down by 5; instead of 7, with 1:47 left.

Plenty of time to score a TD at the end of the game, but just bad play calling (or execution) in my opinion.

More blown coverages.

Our free safety needs to be fast as heck to catch up to those deep balls. Think Devin McCardy (how ever you spell his name) of the New England Patriots. I've wanted Anthony Brown to play safety, for awhile now, for that very reason.

How do you miss 2 xp in one game?

I agree.

We have to start out spotting them 9 pts which is what we ALWAYS do..

then we have to scramble to get back in the game..

then we lose in the last 2 minutes becuz of penalties and the rally ends when Dak runs out of time..

We watched this all of 2019 before.

Boring.

Indeed it has.

 

[Bigdog]

Yup but the good news is we are tied for 1st place with a 1-2 record in the vaunted NFCE.

The mistakes are typical of what we have seen for the last decade. The pass defense penalties were just awful. Lewis holding a guy who really isn't a threat on a play? Lewis grabbing the arm of a guy and not letting go?

Pollard needs to plant his butt on the one yard line and if the ball is even a slight bit over his head, let it go. Why he keeps trying to catch it in the end zone and return it is mindnumbing.

Can someone, anyone, explain to me what Pollard was doing? Troy/Buck didn't say a word about it. It looked like he was playing with his puppy. Did two rubber pellets fly up and enter each eye? He dropped it, ok. Pick it up and run. What the hell was he doing?

100000% agree with you on this

Looked like he lost his footing; twice, and panicked to get his body out of the end zone so he wouldn’t be responsible for the safety (or worse).

It just looked bizarre. As if he didn't want to touch it. But you're probably right.

He was trying to pick it up but took his eyes off of it to look at the guys running towards him as well.

I might haven been able to toss 3tds on this defense today, easily.

You forgot to mention Dak turned the Ball over 3 times twice on our half of the field which cost us 14 points.

Whose?

Dallas's(25th ranked pass defense) or Seattle's(32nd ranked pass defense)?

Even Atlanta's is ranked 31st so yeah, passing yards are/were to be expected I guess, lol

Go Cowboys
