The ginger and the clapping

[GimmeTheBall!]

What's with your ginger talk? I've let it slide several times. Being that I'm a red head, I think you need to quit that ****! Doubt you could lay a hand on me.

Just because somebody looks different from the rest of the minions, don't give you the right to call someone out based on hair color, skin, etc.

For some reason, today was the day that it pissed me off!

Sometimes you make me prouds to be an Amerikan.
To pick out a feature and laugh about it, thats so 1960s.

But you create your circumstance 95% of the time. Allowing people's "best" to put you in adverse circumstance isnt very credible either

Nothing a few more field trips cant rectify. We lost to a bad team unnecessarily today. Why is the guy that is responsible for our team's overall performance in a clapping mood? If he had a game to game contract, do you think he'd be clapping during a choke job like today's? I think not.

What "teams"? Show me teams in the same position as us, losing their QB early on, that stayed afloat. People love to point back to the 2008 and the Patriots, which is rare. This also doesn't take into account that we weren't just banged up at the QB position, but on defense for 2 out of the past 4 games. We still don't have our top 5 WR.

We still have 3 games before Romo gets back. We could still "stay afloat" by winning two of the next 3. That's it, that's all we need.

The Steelers and Colts, for instance. The Colts were arguably playing better with their back up.

Yes, the Cowboys could absolutely win two of their next three and save their season. I'm not denying that. In fact I think it has about a 50-50 chance of happening.

If you had bothered to read my entire first post in this thread, you would have seen where I absolved Garrett from responsibility for the first three losses due to the absences in the front seven.

The Commanders pulled ahead of us with Kirk Cousins as starting QB, after RG3 was benched after pre-season... And they were down 24-0...

They haven't had Reed for two games prior, there primary WR is Garçon... Their second tier WRs are like ours...

Their play calling is light years better than ours, and that's with Gruden...

RGIII wasn't "benched", he and Cousins were battling for the starting spot. Cousins won out.

They have their starter, a guy who has been there since 2012. Not the same. NEXT!

The Colts beat the Houston Texans, I think you and I could go out and have a perfect passer rating against that defense. The Colts are having trouble winning with one of the better QBs in the league.

Steelers have had some good wins, but they are also loaded on offense. Take away Bell, Brown, and Bryant and you are looking at a comparable offense to ours.

Yeah, you absolved Garrett of the first 3 games; but you're blaming him in this game because a backup QB seeing his first action since the beginning of 2014 in a new system was off with some of his throws and created 3 turnovers?

Getting Bryant back should help Cassle, he can get the ball to the #1 WR. He did for Moss, Bowe, and Jennings.

As I've stated repeatedly, I'm not blaming the coaching for Cassell's performance. I'm blaming them for the endemically poor decision making on special teams that prevented the Cowboys from overcoming Cassell's mistakes.

Smarter than you on my worst day.... someone expressed frustration over a coach's actions on the sideline.
Another person took it personally... even challenging him to a physical confrontation... I simply quoted Sargent Hulka
by saying "lighten up, Francis"... it is my favorite quote to use when people get sensitive..... now you're comparing having
red hair and freckled skin to being gay...... like I said, on my worst day.

Alright man I'm done venting my anger. It's officially Monday. Time to suffer through a couple days of depression. My apologies!

 

[LocimusPrime]

I think it might be a nervous tick or reaction.

 

[Beast_from_East]

I know it is silly and irrational for it to bother me so much but when he is doing it after a bad play I just want to smack the freckles off his face and yell... STOP IT

He is nothing more than a glorified cheerleader, that much he has proven this season.

Cousins is a backup who happens to be starting because the guy they mortgaged their future for is a self absorbed bust. Lets not pretend that there were 2 guys battling it out for a position. Cousins is "starting" because of how bad the other guy was, not because of how good he was.

 

[Jarv]

Fire JG!

 

[Alexander]

Pick six?

Kickoff return killing all momentum?

Fourth straight loss, all in different ways?

At least he is consistent.

I know how you feel Brian. I found Vodka works wonders in October.

you know, I found that out last night also my friend.

maybe he should clap Williams in the head for how bad he played.

RG3 was their number 1 draft pick. He was the expected starter going into this year after being healthy. Cousins was a back up.

Gruden benched RG3 like a coach who does something other than clap does, taking a lot of flack. He was actually trashed last week, because Cousins was so bad last gane. Gruden done more than Garrett has done the latter's whole career, which is just ridiculous.

Cousins played like trash last year as well. He's playing inconsistent this year. But he's still playing well enough to win 50% of games.

The Commanders are also facing plenty of injuries, particularly in the offensive line. Their CBs starting were backups as well going into the season and playing really well.

If Cousins was the Cowboy's backup QB they likely be 4-2.

Cousins is making plenty of stupid INTs up the middle of the field. He was garbage last year. What our passing offense that doesn't fool anyone, I would be surprised if he won one game.

Their play calling is much better this year, particularly because of the run game and the pass blocking up front. When they were down 24-0, much of it was because Cousins was throwing bad, particularly down field and vertical.

The drive they went on to tie it 24-7 was brilliant. They ran well, rolled Cousins out on bootlegs to both sides and had him passing with WRs on short to intermediate crossing routes, followed by a play-action hopeless for Cousins to run straight into the end zone untouched.

They adjusted their play calling. We don't.

I find it funny that fans are so worked up over Jason Garrett clapping. It's a silly criticism.
