If you're one of those people who are narrow minded and like to pin a game specifically (unfairly) on one person, then you probably won't like this thread.
Ok, so these are just some of the reasons I noticed why we lost the game, though some obviously influenced the game more. Like I said before, this thread isn't just blaming one person, ohh no, plenty of blame to go around here.
1.) Defense - When you allow a QB throw for 300 yards, and 4 TDs, chances are you're going to lose. And no, Aaron Rodgers didn't even play either, their back up Matt Flynn torched us. Also, if you're not going to stop the pass, then at least stop the freaking run, instead we gave up 140 yards and a TD to a rookie RB. Our defense is down right terrible, and they're not even generating as many turn overs now.
If you're going to be atrocious at stopping offenses, the least you can do is create an occasional turn over. Also, how in hell do you expect to win when you give up 5 TDs in 5 possessions in the 2nd half, you honestly can't get any worse then that. Heck, I think I even might go try out for the defensive squad my self, because right now it seems the only requirement to play defense for Dallas is to have a heartbeat.
2.) Jason Garret - Your play calling ... is horrible. You should be fired tonight and out the door by midnight, because your "play calling" was atrocious, if I can even call it that. Hell, It looked like I was watching a Madden game between two buddies, because all we were doing is pass, pass, pass, AND WE HAD THE LEAD. Why would you abandon the run when you're up by at least 20, and you just scored like 4 of your first 5 offensive possessions due to the run, it makes absolutely no sense. And don't give me that Romo audibled bull crap, he didn't audible into 20 straight passing plays, that's on you Red.
3.) Offense - Romo needs to seriously stop missing deep shots when they're available, Dez was open on several occasions down the field. We also need to stop freaking dropping the ball, off the top of my head I can count several and two of them were TDs. Escobar had a drop for a TD, Dez had a drop for a TD that smoked him right in the teeth, on a deep ball I might add. Surprise surprise, Witten had a drop as well, which almost led to a very costly interception. Murray had an easy dropped ball on a screen for 1st and 10, it was a good pass he just turned his head up the field too soon. Lack of effort also seems to be playing a role, and I thought that was only on our defense. When Romo played Houdini extending the play for another 5 seconds, the cameras showed most of our WRs loafing, especially the rookie Terrence Williams, inexcusable. Also, miscommunications was the finishing blow to this game, it's obvious Romo and Beasely aren't fully on the same page. On the game ending interception, Romo led Beasely to the sidelines, but Beasely stopped his route causing the interception, frustrating.
Well, even out of this horrific collapse, there's still some positives to take from this game. Here's the positives that were shown tonight, and the positives about our future.
1.) Our offense is very effective when the run game is being efficient, the problem is we have a HC who calls the plays and he likes to abandon the run for no dang reason.
2.) At least our defense forced 4 punts! Yah! Though they did end up going 5 for 5 with TDs in the 2nd half, heck that's an outstanding batting average, too bad this isn't Baseball.
3.) Seriously though, we still control our own destiny, honestly this lose really doesn't effect our chances that much. It's still going to come down to week 17 ... Unless we lose to the 3-11 Commanders, which then we'd miss the playoffs if the Eagles win. If we can't beat a 3-11 team, then we honestly don't deserve to be in the playoffs anyway. Eagles and Dallas are basically tied for first, all we have to do is match what they do next week and it's a week 17 show down for the NFCE, the who sucks less championship.
