Get off the board. All you do is b@#/%^ and pile on. Literally never any meaningful posts.
Again, get it through your thick skull that the qb, has free reign to check in and put of plays. That s his job. Zeke just said the calls were rpos. Dak has faith in Zeke
Dallas should be 9-0. Lose to the Jets by 2 . Saints by 2. Packers by 3. Vikings by 4. 11 points separate Dallas from being 9-0 vs. 5-4.... well 15 points.
My how things have changed.
I’m not sure what this signifies exactly. Maher has a cannon. 57 is well within his range.
We’d all have been clapping with Garrett had Maher drilled it.
Unless we see some actual proof of correlation between those attempts and bad football, I still don’t get this angle.I think his point is trying such a long field goal on your first possession is a bad call. If you make it, great but it’s such a low percentage high risk, low reward play that smart coaches don’t try it.
A smart coach always punts there because you hate to give your opponent such a short field to start the game. It could set a negative tone, cause you to abandon your game plan and put your defense in a hole from the outset.
Since we know Garrett is responsible for half of the attempts of the ridiculous extra long first possession FG since 1994, I’d love to see the coaches who kicked the other ones. I’d bet they are no longer coaching at this point.

What if the few teams who attempted those early, long kicks wound up going 2-2 or 3-1 in those 4 games?
Again, your feelings about the play are entirely dependent on whether or not the FG is good.
I didn’t like the decision initially, BUT I would’ve loved the decision had Maher made that kick. It happens.
