One of the announcers speculated that

[Dogstar]

The team was tired after being in No Cal all week. Why wouldn't they be? I think them staying up there was kind of strange if not grueling for the players. No family, no friends.

I think that is complete crap. Stupid play calling the last 4 plays is why we lost today.

 

[panchucko]

I don't think they were tired.
They were over-coached and had bad play calling.

I think they were tired. Tired of bad play calling from their coaches.

All during the game, I was thinking the team looked lethargic. They did look like they were just going through the motions. I would have to agree with the announcer's speculation. The team moved around a few times during the week and the entire routine was disrupted. I know that would wear me down both physically and mentally. They shouldn't stay outside of Dallas during the week anymore.

the annoucers were making fun of Parcells comment about Henry having tired legs..

 

[Yeagermeister]

They were tired of tackling Jordan 5 yrds down field on every carry or covering Moss.

Right from the start of the game I thought the whole team seemed to be a half step slow. I don't know if it was staying in Cal that did it or just being on the road 3 out of 4 weeks to start the season. I remember Darrel Johnston saying it took him 4 to 5 weeks into the season to get his legs back from training camp.

The new coaching staff has to come together, just as all the new players do. This isn't really a cohesive team yet. Hopefully, that won't take much longer. If you learn from your mistakes, this team outta be gettin' pretty smart by now.

I didn't like the idea of staying over when I first heard it and I still don't like it and I imagine Jerry likes it even less when he thinks how much paid for a win and got a loss instead.

Sometimes I just don't understand or agree with some of the things BP does or his way of thinking. Doesn't seem to matter much to him though.

Your staying their to avoid the travel and your tired. Quit freaking partying and playing madden till 3:00am then. Theres no excuse for us to be tired. When you spend 2 weeks in an area so you dont have to travel and your tired, somethings major wrong there.

Instead, what it is, is we are so afraid to make a mistake we dont even try. We run rote out there, just like in practice. But the Raiders weren't in our practice and did not see how Bledsoe would go down when we did this or JJ would not get a good run cause we did that. Then we do that in the game and the raiders cheat and dont follow suit. Course we cant think on our feet, cause again we are so afraid of getting cut if we dont so what we did in practice.

It was not tired legs or heads, its scared players and stupid coaching.

Maybe this is what Parcells wants, well he got it, Hope he likes it, cause I sure as hell dont.

Staying 1 (ONE) week out of town SHOULDN"T effect them physically or mentally.

These guys are PROFESSIONALS!

No excuses for this loss!
