Spagnola: Should Have Known This Story Was Too Good To Be True

[waving monkey]

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. – Gosh darn, this had all the trimmings of a great holiday story.

Cherub-looking quarterback Kellen Moore making his first NFL start here on a cold, rainy, dark, miserable Sunday afternoon.

Inexperienced receiver Brice Butler playing a significant role for the first time as a Cowboy.

This entire season has been to good to be true.

 

[Nightman]

It is not that great a story

A bunch of backups do OK against another team that isn't the playoffs.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Our season in a nutshell. Not one thing worth a damn.

 

[Alexander]

It pleases me that Mickey was disappointed.

I'm not sure what kind of article this was, but I think it's just "fantastic" how low this organization has fallen. "Too good to be true" now refers to disappointment that a backup QB leading a number of second stringers on a team with a 4-10 record against a team that is out of the playoffs to a victory couldn't be accomplished.

The game turned out exactly how I wanted it to.

But the RKG's are still fighting.

Spagnola has always been a microscope for how the organization feels.

The fact that he was disappointed that Moore didn't show out is just a reflection of Jerry Jones' disappointment.

If you believe what some posted in here, he was all excited last week.

Well, Moore laid an egg, like every other QB not named Romo.

Sorry, Jerry. Err, I mean, Mick.

 

[big dog cowboy]

At one point in the third quarter, here who was on the field for the Cowboys defense: rookie safety Byron Jones, first-year corner Mitchell, first-year corner Olatoye, rookie Randy Gregory, second-year end Lawrence and the rookie tackle Walker, just signed off the practice squad for Christmas.

More than half the defense.

And if you considered the offense, with second-year starter Zack Martinand rookie La’el Collins on the line, Moore starting at quarterback for the first time in his four-year career, rookie free agent Lucky Whitehead at times running at receiver, Butler playing his most snaps in the last nine games, just a third-year player, and the rookie Geoff Swaim playing at tight end as well, that’s a whole lot of youth out there.

Holy moly.

Well, Moore laid an egg, like every other QB not named Romo.

Brady would lay and egg in this offense.

Scratched and clawed to another defeat they sure did Jason.

 

[ChooChoo73]

Spags article and commentary content almost every iteration is horse manure. The 2015 Cowboys began as and maintained a consistent level of absurdity up to now. The illusion of Dez being super, Romo having an ability to play meaningful time on the field and the offensive line being great has been poison to getting this roster, team and coaching staff prepared to compete at a high level. What a wretched season already and then you add Wagnola casting Jerry's excrement of a creation as a spit-shined against-the-odds almost-success. He is every bit of useless.

 

[Staubacher]

Wow Spags is so full of crap he needs a suit made out of toilet paper

 

[LucaBrasi]

Relentless Spirit

Fight

Soon to be 4-12

 

[WPBCowboysFan]

Scratched and clawed to another defeat they sure did Jason.

Yep, just have to look a the tape and see what we can clean up

 

[TonyS]

It is the perfect irony that the losses we have for so long fought against are now the salve we use to heal our wounds and hope for an influx of young talent and a better year next year and for years to come!

[distant CZ poster shouts, "Hey! Garrett will be back next year!']

 

[Fmart322]

Spags needs a few wet wipes after that story.

Y'all kill me. I don't care what happens you find a way to make it sound worse...(not you, but the generic YOU.)
