Game Day Preseason: Dallas Cowboys at Denver Broncos Postgame

[pitt33]

Holy crap, I actually type "Jimmy"??? Lol

You must have gotten into the “Jimmy” last night

Well that was expected, starting out just where we left off unfortunately..pre season or not,we look terrible.

Got that right. And before anybody tries to make excuses like "well, we played backups", so did the Broncos. But Dallas looked like a Pee Wee team playing a high school team...

 

[LACowboysFan1]

17 penalties for 129 yards. That alone is more than a little disheartening.

What makes it worse is that so many were purely due to the players, like absolutely terrible pass defense, the DBs are supposed to be NFL-level, and they got beat like the proverbial red headed stepchild. That was one on one play, and they couldn't handle the Bronco's backups....

love those 2 young te's...ferguson and hendershot.
tolbert needs to finish.
i want to see more of dennis houston.
dt neville gallimore looks in form.
don't know why our de's struggle with lining up properly...but dang is sam williams quick.
i like that kid from harvard...aaron shampklin.
like the aggressiveness from the db's.
defense looks quicker to me.
on to the next.
give'm hell mike.

I love your optimistic outlook and a person can feel your excitement in your posts.

I don't share your optimism, but I'm not a negative person either.

I hope someday soon your cheery outlook for us pays off, have a great Sunday!

New England had 12 penalties against the Giants Thuraday night. I guess New England is screwed too.

And we had 41% more than New England.

I'm not a sky is falling person, but that's not a good comparison.

 

[Montanalo]

Didn't see the game, but based on the post--game comments, we're doomed.

Quoting that great American philosopher, Allan Iverson, "we're talking about practice" or, in our case, preseason.

I think we'll survive.

We had 5 more penalties.

New year, same.
Nothing has changed since Jimmy's culture/imprint left that organization in 1994.

Jerry's enabling poisonous culture of bad contracts, favorite players, & his open-door policy for players, combined with his constant personal obsession with media attention has created this country club mentality.
Jerry undermines, emasculates, & neuters the authority of the head coach -- as such, no chain of authority, personal accountability for individual players, respect for the head coach, or an emphasis on personal sacrifice/duty for the greater good of the team is established on the roster.
No quality head coach will want to work with Jerry -- you either get puppets, or semi-retired coaches.

It’s been 26 years since the last conference title game. The GM hasn’t changed, lads. What does one preseason game matter against that bulk of data?

Jerry: "Come to our games... We've got Cheerleaders and BIG screens to watch them on."

 

[Wichitaleafs]

I hate preseason games. As long as no one gets hurt, on either team, it's a success.

Jerry's body of work has been pretty horrendous! It's certainly not a confidence booster! Who cares that the GM is some 80 year old quack who will never let go? This is their year!

I only watched the first half but it was ugly. The holding calls on Smith were bologna. I’m sorry but that wasn’t holding.

 

[Risen Star]

My plusses

Sampklin
DiNucci
Gallimore
Mike Davis
Malik Jefferson

minuses
Ball
Taylor-Stewart
Fowler (for the unsportsmanlike at the goalline)
Tolbert (needed to show more against 3rd stringers)
McCarthy for the 17 penalties
Stephen for allowing the offensive backups at WR and OL to be so bad

Stephen controls personnel.

Snicker.

 

[Risen Star]

I think we proved our point.

 

[ESisback]

I think we proved our point.

who’s we?

 

[maryquality]

I think we proved our point.

If "proving our point" means that we will once again lead the NFL in penalties, then mission accomplished!! LOL

 

[Desperado]

We had 5 more penalties.

The average # of penalties per team so far in preseason is about 6-8 (I didn't do the math). We had the most at 17 (after leading the league last year). There were a couple of teams with 11-12. There were a few with 2-3.

Excellent summary.

My point still stands. Yes we got a lot. But so did one of the most disciplined teams.
