Total Plays: 79 to 49
First Downs: 30 to 19
TOP: 40:03 to 19:57
Total Yards: 481 to 316
Rushing Yards: 227 to 86

You might play 20 games with this type of statistic edge without managing to lose once!!!!


I can't believe after all the mistakes and breaks that went against us for 59:30, we get two in the final :30 and once again get done in by Garrett's time management.

The Cowboys don't know how to close games...it's just too hard for them. Too much chaos, too many problems. Gimme that 7-9 or 8-8!

Give up easy TDs in the way of special teams and you can throw out all the advantages.

How is Joe D still employed?

7-9? Who are you kidding. I'm thinking 5-11 or worse now. And I'm always an optimist!

Over the last two seasons, Dallas has had these same lopsided statistics in several games with the same result : a loss.

It proves we are good enough to beat our opponents, but continually beat ourselves instead with several factors most notably turnovers and penalties.

LOL. We lost at Balt (5-1) The Patriots lost to them by 1. They are doomed , too?

The pats didn't outgain the ravens by over 150 yards.

Yes. We dominated them and still couldn't win. We are snake bit just like the op said.

The only way to change it is to start fresh will all new coaches. Jerry isn't going anywhere, and The Garrett brothers are holdovers from the same problems that Wade had. Clean sweep.

I said it before and I'll say it again, the defense has to find a way to come up with some turnovers. The offense can't go 80 plus yards every time. They have to help out the offense.

...and poor play calling and poor clock management.

Still doesn't mean we go 5-11. We are probabl going to finish around 8-9 wins. We lost the ST and TO battle. In the end, it all balances out to where we belong.

Yep....these kind of losses are more painful to me. The Cowboys outplayed them, no question about it. It's easier to accept a loss if you are outplayed by a better team. That didn't happen.

Thank you.

And you know what? **** begets ****. It's infectious and it really started with Arizona last year. As a team you start expecting bad things to happen late in games and fail to just play.

But you have to admit there were plenty of times we could have folded on that last td drive and Tony, Dez, Jason and co stepped up.

 

[EPL0c0]

It's STUPID STUPID mistakes as well.

IMO the biggest mistake was on Kenyon Coleman.

Baltimore 3rd and Goal from the 2. INC pass, but Coleman w/ "hands to the face" penalty. Gave away an extra 4pts.

It's those kinds of mistakes that let Baltimore stay in the game.

THIS! His STs have cost us numerous games over the past few years. Off the top of my head we have TODAY, last year's game against the Jets (we win if not for the blocked punt for TD), telling Garrett to call timeout which "iced" our kicker last year against AZ, blocked FG against vagiants last year, huge return after we just came back against Titans a couple of years ago, etc. Even spotting the Seahawks 10 was huge in that game this year. Joe D sucks and should not have a job. Period.

Snake Bit!!!

Definition of a poorly coached team.

 

[windward]

Yeah, I can't defend Joe D, either.
