We were 1-4 or 25% in the red zone for TD's last night. The Bucs were 3-5.

We need to improve that somehow.

We had a 3rd and 3 at the 13 - Incomplete pass
2nd and 6 at the 17- inc
3rd and 6 at the 17 - inc
2nd and goal at the 5 - 3 yrd pass
3rd and goal at the 5 - we know the failure by Jarwin on that one

Cee Dee is an acrobat in the endzone - throw one up to him!

Is this Dak or Kellen?- none of those were tuff conversions. Something is lacking here!

By the way, Dak played a great game - not saying anything different!

We were 9-17 on 3rd down for the game. 0-3 in the Red zone!
 
Unless you're going to use Jarwin as a receiver in the red zone, he is a liability as a blocker. Don't depend on him to block down there. Cost Dallas a TD.
That's a good point. Put your best personnel out there for what you're trying to do. I'd never have Jarwin out there if I plan on him blocking.
 
It certainly is a problem and has been for awhile now. They need to find answers as the season goes along.

That being said, scoring 29 points should be enough to win. The defense and special teams are still bigger problems.

Has been broken since Linehan.
The Red-Zone is our Dead-Zone.
One of the main reasons we lose against good teams.
Maybe someone should look at the QB?????

P.S. A kind reminder to all.....the team who scores the most points WINS!!!!
 
Hard to say. For right now, I'm just going to write it up to we played a Super Bowl defense and we should see improvement in the next few weeks.

If not, then I'll worry.

Dak plays different when he gets in the redzone. We have seen this many many other times and stats show it too. His passing TD percentage inside the 20 is terrible. He is more likely to throw a TD pass from outside the 20 than inside. That tells me its crowded and his accuracy just isnt there. You watch Brady and worked the middle of the field right over the LBs and into the endzone. I know that pass to Zeke was ruined by Jarwin not blocking but why in the heck are they throwing that anyways. Throw the freaking ball into the endzone and use the middle like Brady!!!

This is what I have been seeing from Dak for years. This is what you get from a 4th round QB who has a weak arm and mediocre accuracy. Sure he can throw a strike on his end of the field but near the endzone he lacks consistency and throws to the outside to play it safe.
