Red Zone

[Clove]

If you choose not to read you choose not to be fair minded and have a reasonable discussion. Sorry, but Dak screwed up too. If a QB has a receiver in the end zone and he doesn't get the ball to the end zone, he has made a bad throw.

The throw was fine, this coming from an X receiver.

I don't care what you were, it was a weak throw, and if you disagree we will just have to agree to disagree.

Try playing and stop talking about **** you've never experienced.

Ok now that the typical “Garrett sucks” “Linehan Sucks” “everyone sucks” comments have been taken I will say that the play where the ball went off the FBs hands was nicely designed. In fact Dak had 2 guys open on that play so I will give credit where due.

That being said the red zone is a problem we have had since training camp when reporters were commenting that Dak and the first team offense didn’t score a TD all of camp.

This may absolutely be something that can derail our season.

The culprits and the solution are harder to figure out.
Is it something in Daks lack of ability or confidence to throw the contested passes either on the quick slants or back shoulder passes? Do we not have a WR or TE capable of winning these matchups consistently enough? Is our entire offense scheme a failure? Is it the play calling or the failure to execute?

None of us can really know.
But stick around and you will hear unimaginative one liners about how everyone from the QB to the janitor sucks.

Hey, leave the janitor out of this... Someone has to clean up that mess.

You obviously don't know me. Don't pretend you do.

 

[Doomsday101]

I see enough blame to go around from coaches to players in redzone problems. Plays that are there for the taking are missed, penalties that move the ball back, break down in blocking and poor play calling. It is not one single thing that is going to fix it.

Imagine how this season would be right now with a mediocre defense.

We saw that this Sunday, and back in September. Yuck.

Okay paper boy. Ball in the vicinity, you catch it. You don't, you're off of my team. All you silly little paper boy fake couch fans couldn't understand football if it was a jack and jill book.

So, you never dropped a pass, or did you just get kicked off the team for dropping one and are bitter now? If you can't agree to disagree I'll just have to ignore you and leave you to your false sense of infallibility and childish insults.

Waaahhh!!!

Imagine how the Rams, Saints, and Chiefs season would be right now with a mediocre offense.

I get tired of watching this offense, also feel bad for Zeke

I do too. That guy is killing himself for this team and his offensive coordinator abandons him at every turn. I think Elliott is literally shortening his career given the pounding he's taking week in and week out. But he, like every other player on this roster, is handcuffed and undermined by an offensive coordinator that doesn't know and doesn't care about what type of team he has. Instead, the man is focused on what might make him look good and some vain thought that he might somehow get himself another head coaching job. Coaching for himself and not the team he has.

It will be poetic justice when he not only doesn't get a head coaching job, but I still fired from the coordinator job he does have. It's just too bad that this team will have wasted yet another season in finding out.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Once we’re inside the 40 the field goal is the best outcome for this team

Ya cause our Franchise QB feels sorry for the opposing defense I guess.....

Poor Zeke wasting away his body and soul for this inept offense.....

 

[jazzcat22]

Cowboys suck in the Redzone if that’s not fixed this team ain’t going no where Seahawks will beat them in the Wildcard if they make it in. Need some big targets but Scott needs to pull his head out his butt and get creative down there. I get tired of watching this team march down the field then stall out.

If Linehan has not figured it out yet, he will never figure it out.
he should have been fired long ago, after the bye week, but for sure after that debacle in Indy.

 

[jazzcat22]

That's a problem, He gets a few a game,if lucky. No way to get involved when he gets only that. Let alone the fact that this moron at OC dials up slow developing plays on 3rd downs and an O-line that can't block a stiff wind.

Actually he has had quite a few snaps. Just they do not use him to throw too.
A few weeks about he had about 20 snaps. And was 18th in the snaps played on offense.

Another misinformed little fan that knows nothing about football. If the ball comes within a foot of your "person" you need to catch it. That's how I lived, that's how most coaches lived, and if you don't like it, who cares.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Out-coached in every corner , 0 points scored .

True,
Which again shows this coaching staff are morons. He doesn't excel at run blocking, better at receiving. Yet. they mostly put him in for blocking duty.

You can't even argue based on what I said. You are acting as if I claimed Olawale had not chance to catch the ball, and I didn't even suggest that, or absolve Olawale of his responsibility to come back for the ball even though it was poorly thrown. I, in fact, blamed him for that. If you have to flat out make up an argument to have one, then you really don't have one at all. You seem to take a lot of stock in being an ex athlete (and, by the way, I would bet on my younger self out "athleting" you if I could), but do you relish being the dumb jock who can't follow a discussion?
