Moore compounded the Nooch problem

Collinsworth in the third quarter commented, “that’s the first real completion DiNucci has had tonight”. He’s right. It was a bunch of trick plays and hitch routes, that was the plan. Not a single go route, post route, slant pass, nothing.

Yeah, he’s a 7th round pick from James Madison with no preseason. But we know he has the arm to make all the throws, let him take a few shots..

I have a love/hate relationship with Moore. I do think he’s innovative and smart. But more often than not he seems to outsmart himself.

 

Again, calling a bunch of trick plays that don't work doesn't mean it was a creative game plan.

And the biggest offensive gaffe of the night was a trick play we ran before in the game and was also a similar failure. It was likely a game changing play call.

 

Could you elaborate on this @MikeB80 ? What did Broaddus say?

 

I am with you on this. I think he gets too cute for his own good at times and tonight was an example.

 

I have no problem with Kellen Moore as our OC. Now, McCarthy and Nolan that is a different story.

 

Keeping the game close and in play was getting results.

We knew couldn’t line up and play straight up with Nooch. He had no chance in pocket.

 

he spent four hours on the pregame saying he was told the cowboys will run lots of wildcat with Cedrick Wilson, A lot of reverses and that Wilson will throw some passes in trick plays.

Someone who watched practice all week told him what they were doing and he repeated it verbatim on the air over and over on the pregame show.

Its either Hellman or one of the scouts who gets to see practice. either way this guy has been fired twice by the cowboys organization most recently last year and here he is giving out inside information on the radio.

its absurd to me and tells me McCarthy is a joke.

 

I agree but McCarthy scares me.

 

I’ve been very critical this year but this was their best job all season.

This game should have never been close without a QB.

 

We played a lot of catchup last year - KM is blowing it.

 

Next week Kellen Moore is going to call the Statue of Liberty play for Wilson 5 times while the team loses 49-3.

after the game the local beat reporters will call him creative and patriotic and then will stand and salute him.

 

I'd fire him right now but I'm trying to be a little more realistic to how the Jones boys are seeing this.

 

That’s awful. Of course it doesn’t matter this season, which is already lost, but what if we were 5-1 and vying for a bye week in the playoffs? Or what if it was a playoff game? This is the same coach who took numbers off the players’ jerseys in the scrimmage for a competitive advantage. Hope someone notices this and fixes it.

 

lol....we never had them on their heels and we were never running it down their throats.

that was about the worst qb performance I have ever seen. Despite them not letting him throw downfield. DiNucci isn’t even nfl material. Cut him tmrw.

 

The game was only close because the defense finally got some turnovers, played fairly well and Wentz sucked.

We scored 9 points. That's it. The offense didn't keep the game close. LOL.

 

yep. McCarthy is a joke. So is broaddus for saying this stuff publicly. Then again they fired him twice so what does he care.

 

Only if you thought we could have won the game.

We couldn’t have lined straight up all night. The fact they had to defense they threat of trickery opened what little not al offense we had.

Calling out one bad play that didn’t work is lame instead of focusing on the creative plan otherwise.

 

the defense gave up 1 less point tonight than they gave up at philly last year. lost both of them.

 

That's about the size of it.

 

On that opening 3rd down drive, we did:

- Elliott for 9
- Elliott for 6
- Elliott for 8
- Pollard for 7
- Pollard for 3
- Pollard for 9
- Elliott for 2
- Reverse for -10

Stupid play call in that situation.
