The Aftermath Of The Ravens Game

[DandyDon52]

We might win the division and make the playoffs.

That is all I expected or wanted for this season. To expect more than that is not realistic.
They are not a SB caliber team, and dont have SB players or coaches.

 

[DandyDon52]

I’m sick of hearing, “we will do better”. That has been going on for 30 looong years!!!!

yes that is getting old, Time to actually be better , win or lose.

 

[DandyDon52]

So where do we go from here .

The apologists will say it's only one game it's only a few plays.

They will rebound from this they will learn they will get better and a bunch of other excuses.

But down deep we long time fans know exactly what's going to happen.

Our leaders coach and quarterback have just put on display to the whole team their lack of talent in big moments.

They're complete and utter failure with the game on the line.

Sure the players will talk the company line and say how they'll rebound and it's a long season and they'll learn from these mistakes.

But down deep in dark places with their agents whispering in their ears we just cultivated a whole roster of career protectors and business decision makers.

What we witnessed was bad football and we can't unsee it but worse yet the rest of the team can't unsee it no matter what company line they throw at the media.
Our coach hopes our quarterback can still trust him.

Our owner said what he saw was unexplainable.

Does anybody believe the team still has confidence in its leaders seems like a lot of uncertainty coming from the top brass.

And if they lost confidence can they get it back.

Does anybody believe our leaders can change and get better in big moments and rise to the occasion.

Is the season pretty much done after that display will we underachieve just collect paychecks and muddle through.

Got to give it to Jerry he threw some more talent at the roster after that disaster can we make the playoffs still mathematically of course but mentally

People are letting this game affect them too much, it was just a game, this is just a entertainment sport.
Let it go and lets see how season goes. I am just going to try and enjoy it.
Right now it is next game up and that is Houston, hopefully the cowboys can win the Texas bowl !

I've been a Cowboys fan since 1960 and not about to give up until it no longer exists. I'm not ready to call it quits until this team surrenders its existence. I seriously doubt it'll happen anytime soon. Beating Houston would be the best and quickest way for this team to renew its favor in the NFL. Keep fighting. That shouldn't be too much for any fan to ask. It's just a fair and reasonable expectation.

Yeah man, its like people forget how long the off season is. Hell no, im not giving up 3 weeks in. Lol

 

[America's Cowboy]

Like I have always thought, if the call was to just mail it in, then why not tell the players in the huddle that is what is going to happen? Why run a receiver route if you are not going to at least try and get him the ball?

Nope, I will always believe that there were two options, hit the receiver if he is open or mail it in. Dak never did option one, try and hit Pickens, he just got the snap, turned and mailed it in all the while Pickens was looking at him like WTH? Dak choked, again. @America's Cowboy

Hmm, should I show the video and its proper assessment to make y'all look foolish or not? I can tell y'all are just parroting off of each other's hatred for Dak without realizing what actually happened because an accurately broken down video would make y'all look foolish...

, lol no I really think he doesn’t know who bombed Pearl Harbor

How long did it take you to find that, you pulled that one out, lol

My firstraction was "1941". But I did know it was Belushi so I just search him and the phrase. Animal House is a silly movie but those were the times.

Well, I wasn’t saying you didn’t know, I was saying, the other guy who initially posted it didn’t know, and you were sticking up for him without knowing that he didn’t know

This team is so mentally fragile.
It’s over.

In the words of Otter

"For this team to win tomorrow, I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part"

 

[Jarntt]

We usually screw up our second rounders, because Jerry likes to gambled on injured players or players with some sort of drug problems that fell because of that. But right now we're the 3rd best team in the NFC East. Is that where you wanted to be at. I know we'll probably end back up to 2nd because of some injuries on our rivals. But we're competing for number 2 now instead of number 1 which was the plan. Who are our leaders on Defense? Has anyone stepped up? If they improved so much, why are people scapegoating them for our losses?

I disagree that any team in the NFCE is better than us. That isn’t a Pro Cowboy comment, it’s an anti NFCE comment. The Eagles are horrible right now

Like sign a big name CB when we need a DE?

For this season?.....I'd agree, but this season aint happenin.

Going from 30th to middle of the pack in less than a year with a 1st time DC doesnt seem realistic.

Between now and September of 2027 "should be" reasonable to find a real edge. If a high quality edge in their prime was available, id go for that first, of course.

Revel may not pan out but at least we just secured that area when the opportunity presented itself

I was responding to your Otter quote.
Lol

Dude, the Raven’s loss was almost a week ago.

 

[offlimits]

I like your write up but see it more hopeful Their still coming together I see improvement each game.. Expectations were unrealistic.For thirty years I've consulted myself patience. I'm tired but improvement gets me up once again into the breach

We're not winning the division this year. We're no where close to being on the Eagles level. We might get 2nd somehow, mainly because of injuries on the Giants and Red Skins, but right now we are the 3rd best team in the East. We have to earn 2nd.

But yeah, people are missing the point why people are upset. You got some people yucking it up that people are "giving up" the third game in the season. But those are short term thinkers, like you are explaining. It's not about making the playoffs; it is about how we most likely perform if we do get there. Week 1, deer-caught-in-headlights look in the season opener against what should be an easy win. Week 3, in a game where both sides of the ball start a comeback to win a game many of us marked as an Loss before the season started, you have a no guts, no glory move to throw the ball away, which cost us the game. That kind of leadership is not going to help us if we do somehow manage to squeeze into the playoffs.

It's people who look at the short term versus people who look at the long term. If I look in the short term, yeah its only game 3. If i look towards the long term, the defense hasn't improved from last year, we have puppet coaches, and the quarterback is not an on the field leader that could handle the pressure of the playoffs.

That’s basically because the Germans, did not bomb Pearl Harbor,
