Play that lost us the game

[sillycon]

ultimately, the play that cost us the game was the Bledsoe inexcusable INT throw down the sideline. GEEZ, just throw that thing downfield! Not into &*^#$(*T(#%(#% an area crawling with defenders. That INT didn't give a chance for the Cowboys to win a toss in OT and to win the game. If the Cowboys HAD lost the game in OT, then we'd have to look at Cortez missing that easy fg and the putrid offensive playcalling down the stretch.

But as it stands and the way the thread is titled, Bledsoe INT is the play that lost us the game..

Disagree with what?

Blame Cortez all you want, but the play that lost us the game was not going for it on 4th and inches from our own 2. We have a 6'5'', 235 pound QB and 2 guards who weigh over 700 pounds between them. Run the ****** QB sneak and get the TD to put it away.

Parcells was out-coached this game..

no, the players were out-executed this game

c'mon, losing the game, and blaming it on the playcalling is kinda lame, you have no facts, just grasping for straws

There were two plays that lost us the game IMO. They were second down on both of the possessions inside the 10. Seattle was setup for the play action pass both times and Sean Payton didn't call it. On either of those plays a play action pass would have scored a TD to put the game away. I don't know why we don't use play action more often when our running game is working.

playcalling is overrated...if you suck and cant execute you can call the best plays ever and still suck.

If you execute bad play calls well(which is sort of stupid because if it works, its not considred a bad play call) the execution may still get you a first down.

playcalling is overrated...

Ever notice that we get the ball inside the 10 yard line and NEVER throw the ball into the end zone?

Boy, you guys are hard to please.

When we go for it on fourth down and don't make it, you blame the coach.

When we don't go for it on fourth down, you still blame the coach.

I'm with you man, that's what I would have done too but think about missing a 20 sumthin' yard fieldgoal, that is a gimme in the NFL. #1 Cortez has to go. #2 It's Zimmers Defense and he should have already taught this Dallas Defense to play 60 minutes, Cowboys let this one get away from them again. I blame Mike Zimmer for our mental break downs on Defense.

because the endzone is a short-field for the D to cover, if we can't punch it in the redzone with the running game, we aren't going to be much better than 8-8, winter is coming, and you're going to need to run the football, blame the Oline, although they were opening holes most of the day, they just weren't moving anybody when Seattle stacked up, expecting a run

priority #1:

shoring up the Oline

 

[big dog cowboy]

I completely agree with fixing the O-line this off season.

I completely agree with fixing the O-line this off season.

Would like to see a 1st, 2nd and big free agent signing. I want an offensive line with as much depth as the defensive line has now. The only position I'd like to see given higher priority in the draft is if any potential franchise WR or QB drop our way since Key/Glenn are coming to a close in their careers and Henson/Romo prob ain't the future.
