Is the poor play calling on offense and defense.

I feel like they either do the most predictable thing on offense, or simply the dumbest thing you could imagine...

And on defense Parcells has this idea that a defense shouldn't respond to what an offense is doing... that has to be the dumbest thing I have ever heard...

P.S. Our nickel defense sucks, especially without Henry and Nguyen out there.

Well, next time you see in the want ads, Wanted: Head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, Apply for the job and instill the wide open offense you so want. When your the coach, you call the shots.

I was about to post something vey similar. I'm most disappointed in the coaching today.

What was that defense on 3rd and 7 when we had them backup. They dropped everyone back 10 to 12 yards and allowed Shockey to run uncovered for an easy 1st down. And why will we blitz on 2nd down but never on 3rd to actually force a punt?

I'm just as disappointed at the playcalling on offense. 3rd and 1 in good field position trying to drive to tie the game and you throw a bomb to a duy who is double covered?

very scary, combined with horrible execution (and some bad calls) it's just ugly to watch

yeah, the offensive playcalling is borderline terrible. I can honestly accurately predict what the play is going to be

But there's not much we can do with this terrible offensive line

Seriously... if his name wasn't "Parcells," people would be raking him over in the press about those play calls.

Well, if your offensive line can't run block or pass block, What type of plays do you believe would be effective then?

The only real things I can pick out that I was p!ssed about was the bomb on 3rd and 1 and the screen to end the game. Those two calls really weren't very intelligent. 3rd and 1 just sneak it ffs. And the screen with 10 seconds left speaks for itself I don't even think a 2nd grader would call a screen play with 10 seconds left....

Some of you guys really do surprise me..........if all you have to complain about today is the coaching, you really dont know football.

DB-15 of 39 for 146 yds (3.7 yd avg) 1 TD and 2INTs..................disgusting
JJ-23 carries for 74 yds(3.2 ypc).............................................disgusting
McBriars punting in crucial situaions today was also.................disgusting
offensive line (not worth my breath)......................................disgusting

This is with out a doubt the worst game our cowboys have played all year, and you should feel free to complain about anything there is, because it needs to be addressed......

This is SOOOO stupid...

Complain about something and somebody posts something like "What? You think you know more than the coach?"

Do you honestly think that the coaches are all knowing?

I've been calling for Newman to be the punt returner since we got him...BP JUST FIGURED IT OUT.

The play-calling has been sub-par this year. This is BP's game-plan....conservative play-calling. We were warned about it when Jones hired him. I distinctly remember the mediots and his former players saying "Get ready for a conservative, ball-control offense week in and week out, because that is the type of coach that he is."

Most of us hoped that he would open it up sometime. That is our fault for hoping in anything.

Now, he handed off the play-calling to Payton who got canned for his play-calling by the Giants and then what happened? They went on and had a winning streak.

There were pitiful plays that were called today. It's been this way week-in and week-out. It's just that that is the type of coaches that we have. Stuck in the 80's type of football.

:rolleyes:


The defense held the Giants to 10 points. I like that playcalling.


The offense is handcuffed cuz of our tackles. PERIOD. The sooner you people realize that the sooner you'll stop flapping your gums about playcalling.

The play that really ticked me off was the 3rd and 1 towards the end of the game. Instead of getting the first down, we go deep to Glenn double covered. OK we can't score so why throw away an easy first down like that. Stupid football. :mad:
