Why is Twill the scape goat? Because he's not a marquee player? Everyone is acting like he dropped the Super Bowl winning pass. It was one game and didn't even guarantee a win. I'm sure if that was Romo or Witten who potentially lost a 60-65 yard FG opportunity it wouldn't even be an issue. Please stop blaming Twill for this loss.

Well I'm going to blame him he was part of the problem every high school kid in America knows when the clock is winding down your head out of bounds that's football 101.

That said there's plenty of blame to go around starting with the team who once again wasn't prepared to play game opening day there were mental mistakes all over the field that's on red. Then there's an OC who has developed a play counts on Whitten as your speed guy. I still can't believe he's motioning people and parking them right behind the hole he's going to run through. The Giants were plugging the middle yet we refused to attack the outside or throw Five wides at them.
We had free looking like a turnstile yet we're reluctant to move the pocket.

And then there's rod who refuses to use the speed he has in the back 7 and attack people, until he has to and then it's too late.

So yeah there's plenty of blame to go around and if we keep up with this same pattern will get the same results game after game season after season

Dez was even motioning for Terrance Williams to get out of bounds. Is the loss solely on him? No, but when the game is on the line and you have ONE job, you do that job. His job was to catch the ball and get out of bounds.

Yeah I mean if you want to be technical....yeah some of it is his fault......he lost a CHANCE to potentially win this game. But there were a lot of guys who simply didn't play up to par today and while T-Will could be in that list there's far more in front of him. Dez is at the top of that list.

You are crying about blaming TWill and yet you give zero reason not to blame TWill. You are just saying stop.

TWill is garbage. Our entire receiving core is decidedly below average.

To not know to go out of bounds in inexcusable when you have been in the league for four years. I learned by the time I was 8 to stop the clock from playing Madden.

He should absolutely know and be held accountable.

Just look at the scores of sunday's games. It comes down to the wire. You need smart players. TWILL has made some plays in the past but
he's soft and apparently ignorant when it comes to football knowledge... which is a problem because football is his job.

Still could have gave Dak a shot at a hail mary but TWILL took any chances away. At least give your team that last shot don't waste it.

Cole Beasley and that dropped TD was just as much to blame, but TWill's decision was epically dumb.

This was definitely a team loss. Everyone on the team needs to play better.

Yup... everyone has a lot they can improve on. Sloppy game. Yet it was not all bad news either. Lots to build on. They need to stick together, get back to work, and get a tough road win on Sunday.

They beat the Skins and we are back on track.

The passes should have been closer to the sideline. We needed some of those catch and keep the feet inbounds plays T-Will has when Romo is in. Maybe Dak hasn't perfected that yet. IMO, Dunbar's mistake is what costed us valuable time. If he had gotten out of bounds, we would've saved maybe 8 seconds or so and had an additional down to work with. Of course, he was too far from the sideline as well.
