This loss is on two players

[Staubacher]

Let's blame the rookie and the backup when there were numerous chances to win despite them.

 

[DallasInDC]

They didn’t lose because of Luepke, that was the opening drive. Now, Edoga should have had more help, get a TE or two next to him. There were far bigger issues than the early fumble.

This. Trying to lay the blame for the loss on two players is ridiculous.

 

[Mr_437]

When a team loses a game you usually can blame a lot of different players, and this game is no different. The list is longer than Luepke n Edoga, so what's the point.

 

[Cowboys1966]

Umm….

Dallas lost by 2 points.

If Luepke didn’t fumble on the 1, Dallas would have scored 7 more points.

Lol. Butterfly effect.

 

[Brax]

Sure, there are a ton of reasons that contributed to the loss. But, without the fumble by a slow, below average rookie, and without the ineptness of a waste of a roster spot LT, we probably win this game!
Both Luepke and Edoga would not earn a practice squad spot on most teams. We must do better at those positions!! They should both be fired the day after Christmas.

You do know the fumble wasn’t on Luepke right.

 

[Captain-Crash]

yeah nobody can win if they fail on the opening drive.

 

[Blackrain]

I'm more inclined to blame this on the lack of preparation from our coach and the lack of attention to detail regarding the penalties

And the idiot who face masked on the last drive to give them 15 yards so they could kick a field goal and run out the clock

 

[tomokawan]

Lack of depth on the OL is solely on the Front Office as well as this loss. They pay an above average QB as if he is elite, ignore free agency, draft and resign players with known major injury red flags(LVE) instead of signing (yes older) but much better players (Wagner) at less money, cut their short yardage/goal line RB (Zeke, and yes they should have because they grossly overpaid him in the first place) and then fail to draft (instead they sign a feather weight RB in Vaughn) or sign one in free agency...... Lol, I could go on and on but that's just a few of the stupid decisions over the past year.

Some how everything is still blamed on Dak because of salary. SMH

 

[tomokawan]

Wagner wasn't coming here. That isn't new news.

But they won't stop posting about it.

I do look forward to Richards showing if he can be a better option than Edoga when Tyron can't play. I believe Edoga was brought in mainly to play left guard but then we decided to make that Tyler's home. If we're going to do that, we have to have a better LT backup option because Edoga was a cheap FA because he washed out at LT.

That fumble was on Dak. He handed the ball to high on the chest. You put the ball in the gut not the chest.

 

[Steve007]

Luepke is not a ball handler. I bet he doesn't get 5 practice snaps during the week. MM got too cute.

Edoga is a backup. If Dak wasn't making a quarter of the team's salary cap, maybe we could have afforded to shore up the backup positions on the OL.

Be thankful it wasn't Chaz Green out there.

The fumble was Daks fault. He handed the ball off too high.

 

[Jason 82 Witten]

I will, and I still say it. Why would you think no one would admit it, because you wouldn't?

I was all for him playing, but there has been some comment on here get rid of him because of yesterday

Yeah but you gotta go back to the play before Tony Pollard should have stretched that to the pylon him not getting in because he's too weak to run somebody over and gets his body spun he should have went for the pylon and maybe we're not even handing it off to hunter..

but acting like he can't, I watched hunter do good things in that game in short yardage he made a couple small catches you're wrong they're not going to fire these guys he just hasn't handled the ball a lot this year and that was a big situation and he made a mental mistake but I want to see more of that going forward not less of it BTW EDOGA is a backup already lots of teams have guys like that no you don't fire guys for that how about we fire you for saying what you said we should delete your account!!!!@!

The fumble was Daks fault. He handed the ball off too high.

It was not handed off too high I've seen it five times what happened was the fullback never brought his arms to the football he literally had his arms way too high the ball was put in a proper spot he never grabbed it he literally never grabbed the football I'm tired of hearing this blame dak he hand the ball off 1000 times this year with no problems he knows where to hand the ball off it was almost as if hunter thought it was gonna be a fake like an RPO he never reached out to secure the ball I think he thought the ball was gonna be pulled back out like it was gonna be an RPO I don't think he felt he was getting the football there that's why he never moved his arms down towards the ball most backs bring their arms down to meet the ball he never did that watch it really slow he never went to secure the ball in my opinion it was either a mental lapse or he really thought he wasn't getting the ball and it was just a fake for an RPO and dak was gonna run it in.. You know pull the ball which we've seen a lot of bad exchanges throughout all football college and pros on those RPO's where the ball gets fumbled because of the miscommunication but he never reached for the football I've seen it too many times was not on Prescott Prescott knows how to handle ball off he's never had a problem doing so the man never reached down for the ball

 

[blueblood70]

What happened to the lupeke fan club on here?

I actually still like the guy I think his biggest problem he's not getting enough snacks to get comfortable and in my opinion I think he felt that ball was gonna be an RPO and that Prescott was gonna pull the ball back and take it himself because he never reached for the football it was not a bad handoff but he never acted like he was supposed to grab the football so he's either a big mental gap because it was a big part of the game and maybe he just got nervous and didn't reach for the football but that really looked like a man who thought the ball was gonna be fake to him and then pulled back out...

I actually wanna see more of hunter I think that he him not being played more and more the last six weeks is a Mike McCarthy problem he is not being utilized properly just like Tony Pollard is being overused in short yardage and I believe maybe him not getting enough snaps has hunter a little behind and I wanna see more of him I wanna see that game plan again from now on all the way through the playoffs I wanna see all our running backs and fullbacks being utilized in short yardage and start taking the ball out of Tony's hands an obvious short yardage and goal line and let Tony have his burst back and rest his legs... I actually liked that game plan and I wanna see more of it how do you like that I like hunter I just think he needs to get comfortable and he hasn't had a chance to do that this year

 

[Angus12]

We absolutely lost because of Luepke. He cost us 7 pts who cares when it happened.

So you pick one out of several points and all of a sudden it's everything? Lol, learn how to count

Wrong. The QB puts the ball in the gut not the chest.
