Shwartz Post Game PC

[ThreeSportStar80]

Man bottom line is the head coach should know when to run the damn ball... Garrett hasn't shown the proper late game management in truly meaningful situations.

Boy if this were Wade Phillips the media would be killing him and trust me I was NO Phillips fan.

Rob Ryan shot his mouth off all week in the media about how the receivers that his defense practices against all week are better, and in the end Ryan got his *** handed to him, good for Schwartz, not pathetic at all, he wasn't the one shooting his mouth off all week....maybe next time Ryan will keep his big mouth shut, along with Dez, because both seem to do too much chatting either before or during games

Exactly. Can't be mad when Schwartz retaliates with just a little shot back at someone talking noise about his players.

For some reason everyone loves trash talk. Well, this is what happens when you don't back it up.

I was trying to crunch the numbers and just do some basic guesswork. But I'm pretty confident that had we just run the ball, given the time it takes for plays to end, the play clock, the duration of Lions drives required. Assuming we go 3 and out on every series (Which is unlikely) doing nothing but running the ball. It would have taken the Lions over an entire quarter of play, assuming their drives took about 3:00 to come within 3 points of us, being down 27-3.

So really, if we did nothing but run the ball, it's an almost certainty that we win.

We can not run, whether we are leading or trailing. This is why we have to throw to sustain the drive. Anybody who thinks we can simply run out clock should get a reality check. We basically have three same type of RBs (speedy but easily get down upon the first slight touch) and when was the last time we get a first down by three runs?

 

[mldardy]

Who cares, let him brag, talk, whatever. What he needs to be concerned with is his team getting in deep holes. I was not that impressed with Detroit. They made a ton of mistakes especially penalty wise and not all that impressed with Stafford. He missed a lot of receivers and is pretty fortunate to have CJ to throw to. I think the Lions are improved but I still think they will struggle later on in the season and miss the playoffs.

I'm saying even in a 3 and out worst case scenario, we'd still chew off over an entire quarter of play, assuming that:

1. We don't get first downs.
2. Assuming the Lions have scoring drives of about 3:00 on each possession.

Now it's very likely that a score can and will come in under 3:00, but it's also likely we're able to pick up a few first downs at worst, through a qtr and a half of play.

But this is all second guessing. I mainly did this to entertain myself. It seems as though if we were to literally have run the ball every single play, the Lions would have had to play lights out to win the game.

We could have won that game with the University of Lousiana/Red Beauliue offense of taking a knee every down and punting.

Almost not exaggerating, either. Their O was doing absolutely nothing against our D. The only way they had a chance was with stupid turnovers.

Garrett didn't make Romo throw those INTs. That is all Romo. And that is all Romo is going to be. A good QB that makes the worst decisions at the worst time.

This team has no RB. They are all hacks. There were holes, Dallas just has two RB's that can't shed tackles, or break a tackle and can't make anyone miss. Or. they just don't see the WIDE OPEN field and run STRAIGHT into TWO Detroit players.

Yes, as you can see I am SICK OF both Romo and Julius Jones II. I will support both while in Dallas, but, can't wait til BOTH are gone.

I do agree with assumption on Garrett. And, hopefully now he realizes that the Bus Driver playing QB for him is NO PLACE to rely on any longer. I do hope they find a RB worth a damn. That would help.

Yes, the O-line isn't the best, Got news for folk in here. Emmitt didn't always have the best lines either. If you think that, you are high. But, Emmitt was a great player. Dallas doesn't even have a decent RB right now. Dallas doesn't have a player in QB or RB that make the players AROUND them better.

Oh, what's the use. Doesn't matter, homers are still going to protect # 9 and blame everyone else.

This guy has thrown TWO games away now this year. I swear, I think the NFL should look into #9 and see if he has any side bets going.

Hmmmm....really? So, we run for 125 last week and 113 this week for nice averages and we have no RB? And, RB's that can't see the hole? You mean the same Felix that on 3-4 plays in the game got hit at the line, yet drove the pile forward at least another 4-5 yards. Or, the Felix LAST GAME that use his excellent vision to break off huge chunks of yards by using all his cutback lanes? Or, Choice who, for the most part actually ran well yesterday? This was Romo and Garrett at their absolute worst. Everybody else did their jobs yesterday.

America's Best sells 2 pairs of glasses for $69 WITH a free eye exam. Just sayin'.

I disagree yesterday we did have a run game between Jones and Choice.

No problems.

That is probably still cheaper than the silver and blue glasses you have been looking through.

Good point, and I agree.

Hmmm................let's see here. Romo throws the 1st pick. We come back out at the Dallas 21. Using 5 RUNNING PLAYS and 1 6 yard pass play, we're at a 3rd and 2 from the DETROIT 48 and WE THROW THE FREAKIN' BALL!!!!!!!!!!! The 1st 2 games of the season, the run game was nonexistent. But, we have DEFINITELY been able to run the last 2 games. We just stop trying even when it's succesful.

I watched the Ravens, Bears, Texans, and 49'ers keep commiting to the run with their QB's struggling, and they slowed the game down and won. Sometimes, you can outsmart yourself in this game.

 

[JeffInDC]

No problems.

That is probably still cheaper than the silver and blue glasses you have been looking through.

So, gaining 115 yards on 14 carries is all luck right? He magically ended up with that statline last game. And, even though he only got 57 yards this game, he was both making peopl miss AND running through piles. That's what the TAPE shows.

Harch!


It's a miracle! CA actually questioned Garrett.


Congratulations!


Now i'll wait for Zrinkill to post nothing but an emoticon and this post will be official.

If you look at my posting history, you'll see that I've questioned Garrett quite a bit.

And it's "hark."

This is what is frustrating about it too. Tony threw the first INT late in the 3rd quarter. Had we have punted the ball a few times, we likely go into the 4th quarter up 27-3 or 30-3. You're then asking Detroit to score 4 touchdowns in 1 quarter to take the lead. Not going to happen with the way our defense was playing.

Calvin Johnson didn't even go over 100 yards. His two touchdowns were one prayer-throw by Stafford which was honestly a horrific throw into double coverage (Megatron bailed him out) and a fade pass 1 on 1 against a 5'10" CB.

23 of his 96 yards came on the first pass.

We had contained him to around 70 yards and no touchdowns until the 3rd (4th?) quarter.

I'm really happy with this defense moving forward.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

This loss is solely on Romo and he accepted that saying he didn't protect the ball well enough and we will fix everything on the bye week.

blah

blah blah

blah blah - blah blah



Who is "we"
Someone else was throwing INT's out there.



The Definition of Insanity is..... oh never mind.

 

[BourbonBalz]

I am pretty sure Rob Ryan's defense shut down the lions for the majority of the game. If you take away those two int for touchdowns then the cowboys win. This loss is solely on Romo and he accepted that saying he didn't protect the ball well enough and we will fix everything on the bye week.

Wash, rinse, repeat. I don't know about the rest of you but I'm past tired of hearing how we have to work harder and get better after every brain fart of a loss. The same things kept being said, yet the same thing keeps happening over and over. When will it "get fixed"?

 

[tyke1doe]

I think some blame definitely can be thrown Jason Garrett's way today. When you're up 27-3, the main thing you need to do is protect the football and not turn the ball over.

It doesn't matter if it's Tom Brady playing QB, there's no reason to be throwing the ball down the field when you're up three scores. Run the ball, play dink and dunk football, and if you punt, you punt. Your defense is playing lights out, and on top of that even if you dink and dunk your way into FG position, you can still extend your lead with FGs.

Tony can't make those throws, obviously, but as the head coach/offensive coordinator you have to know not to put your QB in that kind of position. We should have went into big/2TE sets and pounded the ball. When the Lions then decided to put 8 in the box, you go play action and go over the top like we did to Laurent Robinson earlier in the game.

A punt is 300x better than a pick six. Two punts is 1000x better than back to back pick sixes especially when you have a punter who has a cannon leg and can pen the other team back in its own territory!!!

I believe in what Garrett is doing from a leadership and culture standpoint, but the game-planning and adjustment/play-calling has been somewhat headscratching for two weeks now.

 

[Marktui]

Right, but that was less about anything they did right and more about what Dallas did wrong. If he wants to concern himself with QBs he should start by figuring out why his own was rendered inconsequential to hte game, especially when our QB helped his defense score more points than his own QB could score with that so called "high powered" offense.

Exactly!! Last time I checked, there is still 12 more games to go. I am happy for the Lions fans who had to endure all those losing years. It's still a very long season.

 

[PullMyFinger]

Jorge Sedano of 790 the ticket here in Miami said Andy Reid and Jason Garrett suffer from Smartest man in the room syndrome. He said yesterday their was zero excuse with both having leads Like that you should be putting your QB in that position. He said Romo and Vick are going to take the majority of the heat, but both coaches were responsible for their teams losing yesterday. I couldn't have agreed more.

Romo can change a play at any time he sees fit.....its called an audible, Or better yet throw it away.
