The 4th down play on Bland

[Hawkeye0202]

Zero excuse for this .........hell, Eberflus or Schotty should have called timeout




BTW.....with 6 min left, Dak thought they would get the ball back

 

[Tabascocat]

Everyone knew Dallas wasn’t getting the ball back

 

[America's Cowboy]

Schottenheimer and Eberflunk got OUTCOACHED by opposing much less experienced coaches.

That is what happened.

 

[JJ1986]

I find it inexcusable for Bland to give that much cushion; players can override the coach if the coach told him to give that much cushion

Delusional

You mean the HC who failed up and demoted at every stop got out coached? Who woulda thunk it.

No coach is going to win with this defense. Any game plan that requires offensive perfection on every drive is destined to fail.

When we didn’t score at 27-27 with 9 minutes to go, I knew that was the ballgame. With this D you have to score given the opportunity. You can’t trust or depend on this D to bail you out.

I mean, this isn’t rocket science. You have a defense that has met it’s quota on stops for the day while allowing an average RB gash you all game long. With however minutes were left on the last drive, you need to be aggressive, burn some time and score. Td or a FG, it doesn’t matter but they needed a score to force them to do the same. Dallas played not to lose and they lost.

True as a fan, but players are programmed to believe and trust their teammates on the other side if the ball.

Again bland is a soft cornerback. What do you expect him to do with the game on the line?

15 plays 71(?) yard drive that ate all 6+ minutes the 2 min warning, and *2* Dallas time outs.

That is impossibly bad Defense not to get the ball back. After the conversion to Renfrow I would have purposely let them score or instruct my defenders to only make a tackle inside the 10.

This team has almost zero chance without the ball in its hands last.

Bland had one good season and they paid this guy elite money.

Bland and Odigizuwa both get paid over 20 million a season. They’re both just average players. Absolutely insane front office.

 

[loublue22]

it looked like they were trying to bait the slant but our LB is terrible and slow and couldn't get there in time

20 million dollar CB vs a vet min WR who came out of retirement. 7 yard cushion, Unbelievable.

They were giving way too much cushion on just about every play. The scheme is the problem.

We never had this issue when we played straight man with Dan Quinn.

 

[OriginalNameGuy]

That's don't get beat deep cushion with a below average coverage LB(Murray) shading underneath. Bland is the 90 million dollar player he should be asked to make a play there not Murray.

Seriously, Carolina did whatever they wanted.

 

[Clove]

Did we ever get rid of the 3-4 defensive players from the Quinn era? I mean this administration is just dumb.

True..

Until he inexplicitly went to zone in the GB playoff game.
