Third down and short

[RonnieT24]

you pay him to hit 3 w/o chunk plays, not throw a pass into the toes of Wilson, and not throw a INT when it wasn't necessary. Sorry but you hype this man its time for him to live up to that,,its these times in the past that dak haters and troll come out and no im not one of them im a realist if these guy has truly turned corner he needs to carry this entire team few games and not look like 2019 last 6 games dak. thats where all these narratives started every time the team began to fial he looked like pedestrian qb..

2019 philly 2 game was like the Denver game and dak isn't play well the rest fo The season sans the last game against wft..well that not good enough..no he doe need to be perfectly but he can not lay an egg like last week regardless of the OL and adversity, that is what happened in 19..if hes a different qb now, we will see the next 4 games..

Please enlighten me as to when it IS necessary to throw an INT.. I can't wait to hear this.. And to be clear, when you say "carry this entire team a few games" do you mean put in some snaps at linebacker or DE? How many sacks and TFLs will satisfy you?

You pay him to be an elite QB that helps the team win no matter how the offense is played.

and we need it to be explosive to cover up the defense....

we need more then zero points how about that..????????

55 mins last week at home =zero points

that an issue regardless what happened around him..that game reminded me of the entire list of 2019 back half games where we needed one win over 4 weeks and lost them all..

his eyes fooled him neither guy on either level, which i still dont know who he was throwing's to, wasn't open..he forced it..period, throw it away, into the ground, take sack ,do not throw it!!

please dont say it was a GREAT DEFENSIVE PLAY, those reads were closed...

easy enough

next excuse

You cannot get behind Martin if the other 4 blockers lose. On that failed fourth down on Sunday, Martin kicked his man out and would have created a huge hole except that Biadasz and Williams got knocked back at the snap and closed the hole Martin had created. If we are going to be effective running we need at least two adjacent blockers to win, especially in short yardage. Hopefully with another week to get his sea legs under him Collins can go back to being dominant and he and Zack can form that wall we need on the right side. Nate Newton said during the week that he looked fine for the first few snaps but was gassed from that point on. I don't know that you can fix conditioning in one week.. but it should at least be incrementally better. There may also have been an adrenaline factor at play with him as well, having sat out as long as he did. I do think we should be able to run against ATL ... but not if we can't move them off the ball.

Time to get back to dominance.

You didn't answer the question.. When is it necessary to throw an interception? By stating that this particular "wasn't necessary" that would seem to indicate that there are times when they are.. I'd just like to know when in your estimation that is.. I don't think I have seen anyone call it anything but a bad read and bad throw.. Have you?

 

[Runwildboys]

The OL lacked providing enough time for Dak to be accurate, with the scant amount of time to go long.

Back then, it was off most of the time. Maybe, when Tyron Smith makes his return, we'll be OK, again?

There were definitely times that Dak was pressured and hurried, but any of those throws could have been accurate, especially the to overthrows to Lamb. I don't like seeing the OL the way it was last week, but there were plenty of missed opportunities.

Hopefully you're right, and the return of Tyronnasaurus Smith will out an end to it.

Actually we need the opposite of explosive to cover up the defense. Being explosive and scoring too quickly puts the defense back out on the field that much sooner.. So if you are going to score quickly you better score every single time you get the ball because as we saw last year, the offense could score on 6 of 10 possessions and still lose because the defense would let the other team score on 7 of 10. You can't survive playing football that way. The offense needs to get back to be methodical and efficient and controlling the clock and the game. Throwing for 500 yards and then turning it over to a defense that can't stop anybody is pointless. They need to play complementary football.. Period..

Oh and you're having trouble with your fact checker again.. The Cowboys have never had a 4 game losing streak with Dak Prescott at QB.. including 2019. Look it up..

I’m sure many of you have your own ideas and what it would take to win a football game.

I use to be unstoppable when setting up strategy and positioning players with my 1980’s Electric Football game

like i relied he shouldnt have thrown it another bad play that was on dak..the opoint is it was what one would cakll and unforced error he wasnt bumped, dint have his arm hit, had a normal play that he forces the ball when not needed and worse it was bad throw.

so unnecessary means an unforced error..there are INT that were a great defensive play or that you were hit or had the ball tipped by an DL etc etc , this wasnt the case..poor decisions and poor throw

O no doubt. Ground and pound, eat up clock, keep Matty Ice ,cold on the sideline.

yes that it homie just dont hit those chunk plays on purpose ..lmao.. that right dak over threw those guys on purpose to help the defense..

the excuse train is getting heavy..might need a caboose engine to push this load of poo...

Yes.. by controlling the ball on the ground you make the opposing OC and sometimes the QB impatient. Denver did it to us.. They went on long, time consuming drives with a dominant run game so when we got the ball back Moore was in panic mode pretty early. 10 called running plays the entire first half and only 4 or 5 the entire second? Maybe against Tampa it was Dak audibling out but I don't that was the case in this game because Denver didn't really stack the line to force him to audible. They beat our line with 4 guys.. Sometimes 3.. Plus I think they allowed the 4th down failure to get into their heads.. Zeke averaged 4.5 yards per carry in the first half. Excluding the 4th down play that was blown up he was 5 carries for 28 yards. Damn near 6 ypc is definitely NOT getting stuffed. But they got impatient so instead of sticking with the ground game and moving the chains they just kept heaving it. Even though it should have been painfully obvious after the first couple of series that Dak was off.. all the more reason to lean on Zeke and the ground game. Steele struggled in pass pro but generally did okay in run blocking.. We just failed to capitalize. We can't make that mistake again. Plus I think letting linemen fire off the ball and hit people energizes them.. and actually helps them be better at pass blocking.. If for no other reason it makes the pass rusher think twice about coming right at them.

Okay just going to come out and say.. Either you're a troll or your English comprehension is impaired.. Either way .. um done engaging this cause I can't understand half of what you're saying and you keep making up your own arguments on my behalf.. So you don't really need me to participate anyway.. Let me know how I make out in the next round of the discussion going on in your head.

so like dak last Sunday you are in a fog and confused..not a troll, a realist, get past it ..dak played horrible and making excuses is just worsening the conversation.

just move on and hope for better outcome with ATL...

Dak Gets Back To Basics After Loss To Broncos (dallascowboys.com)

he even admitted how poorly he played..fans accept it move on..if dak can we can

The way I'm seeing it is that the entire team wasn't nearly themselves. It's probably a combination of many different things that has caused that swoon. Lamb, himself, had trouble hanging onto the ball at times, which isn't usually among his tendencies. Others weren't themselves, either, especially on the offensive line. They were playing like they were helpless to help themselves.

Maybe it's correctable -- if not, were in deep doo-doo. The coaches will definitely have their hands full, during this week. Let's wish them well. I imagine we could say the same for the trainers. Our guys seem run down. Maybe getting some of the walking wounded back will help our cause. I recall how Jimmy Johnson used to talk about being tired makes cowards of us all. Yikes! I'm sure being beat up doesn't help, either.

 

[MichiganCowboyFan]

I got a genius idea. Why don't we just punt if we get to 3rd & 1? The other team will never see it coming and we'll flip field position.

If they had worn down gradually i might be on board with this but you saw it, man. That team looked glazed over from the jump. Pollard's great KO return should have given us great energy to start the game but it didn't. I don't think enough has been said about McCarthy flipping the practice schedule from pads on Wednesday to pads on Thursday and the impact that might have had. Were guys' bodies fully recovered from the padded practice 3 days before the game instead of 4? The fact that the entire team looked sluggish has to mean it was something they did in game prep that robbed them of their usual energy.. I hope they're looking at that angle as well. But the big one was that he said they didn't let Dak participate in the footwork and mechanics drills. So he didn't work on his mechanics and he didn't practice with his two top receivers.. WHAT THE HELL MAN!!!!!!!

Our strength is the explosive capabilities of the offense. We need to score points, get a lead and hope the defense can be opportunistic. If we try to dink and dunk we will make a mistake, punt the ball away and the defense will get mauled. Dak, Cooper, Lamb, Schultz and possibly Gallup when he returns is the best thing we have.

And not zeke or Pollard? Some talk like dink and dunk is a bad thing or use the term bus driver. Nothing at all wrong with either one of those things. If Cooper, Lamb, Schulz and Gallup are the best thing we have, then why are they airing it out on 3rd and short. You’re taking what should be a high percentage play for a first down and lowering it. Not everything has to be a home run.
