I know all the anger is at Eberflus, but Schotty was horrendous today. He still doesn’t understand how bad this defense truly is, if he did he would never punt the ball with anything less than 4th and 5. They were never winning today but him punting twice on 4th and 3 or less was playing right into the hands of the broncos, same for the 4th and goal, kicking a fg was a loss. He needs to start coaching with zero trust for this defense nor should he
 
It started early with inexplicable passing attempts 1 foot from the goal line on the first possession after the pick in the 1st quarter. Cost us 4 points.

Then, they still wanted to get cute on future goal line calls. Just run the damn ball with your RB and FB lead blocking. It's so simple even a Caveman can handle it.

The red zone play calling was moronic

That was classic Jason Garrett play calling there.
 
I’m still on the schottenheimer bandwagon, but this is exactly why we can’t just ignore some red flags because the offense is doing well.

We’ve had some end of half issues, just look at the Washington game last week. He got bailed out by the Williams run but there was zero need to run the football there. Bad call that he got bailed out on. We all have Tolbert being thrown onto the field when we have better players. Now today we see some very questionable play calling.

It’s a rookie HC who is going to take his lumps. Overall I think he’s done fine, but we shouldn’t ignore some of his problem areas.

Our D is so bad we should never punt or kick FG's unless it is at the end of the half or end of the game.

That was huge just as the James Houston offsides.

If we score there and get that stop we possibly go up 14-0 and it’s a completely different ball game
 
Yeah he was crap today, it was the most crap calls ive seen him make in one game.
I did see this as his worst game for sure. Just thought he coached too scared. As bad as the defense was playing, we needed to do whatever it took to keep the offense on the field.
 
Right before the half it’s 3rd and 1 you’ve got the 2nd leading rusher in the league and Dak dialed up an incompletion. Punt Denver gets the ball scores before half . Game set match . Schott your running game needs that call .
Cowboys ran it the play before and failed to get the 1 yard for the 1st down, didn't they?

Same thing at the goal line. Ran it on 1sr down. Got it down to the 1. Passed on 2nd down from the 1. Incomplete. Were getting ready to run it again from the 1 on 3rd down but Guyton moved early. Penalty moved the ball back to the 6. 3rd & Goal from the 6. Need to pass now. Blame the Oline.
