This loss is on two players

[blueblood70]

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

I'm telling you you're wrong and I'm tired of hearing the nonsense from clueless football fans who didn't really go watch the play that is on the damn full back 100% so I'm gonna have to move on off the feed and block you cause I don't wanna hear from people who don't even have a clue of what they're seeing...

Your wrong. Go Watch the tape.

Believe it or not and you’re welcome to slam me for it but I am still a fan of Luepke. He has had 3 carry’s before the game yesterday and 1 was a TD from the 4 yard line..

That whole play almost looked as if he didn’t think he was getting the ball. Like he was supposed to be a decoy. But then he got up and looked for the ball. Could he not feel the ball. He thought he scored or got up and saw people scrambling so he was looking also. I don’t think he got or understood the play. Maybe he thought it was supposed be a play action but Dak tried to hand to him. His arms were way up.

Like egirls game at the end and we were at the 1 and Fergie didn’t get the play and caused a delay of game penalty. Which yesterday I didn’t see much of the game but Fergie caused another penalty. These bone head penalties and plays are killers especially with game on the line..

But that fumble changed the way fins were able to play the game. If we scored there and then we also scored on the next drive then they would have needed to pass more..

So Tyron Smith goes down and Dak doesn’t have 3 all-pro OL, but 2 and he sucks. What’s new?

I missed most of the game. I saw a quick glance at the play. What the heck happened. It looked like he thought he was a decoy. Never had the ball but ran on and got the “air TD”. But got up looking for the ball. Could he not feel he didn’t have the ball or what, his hands were up high like he was taking the handoff. Maybe he didn’t understand he was taking the ball. Was very strange. I still want to use him but maybe that’s why he is not getting many carry’s. Only 3 before this game. But one was a TD in the red zone. And in egirls game at the end when we were lined up at the 1 yard line and Fergie got the delay penalty I think Luepke was in as RB and maybe was gonna get the rock..

 

[Jarv]

Umm….

Dallas lost by 2 points.

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

Having the ball at the 1 is not a sure 7. Look at the sack Dak took in the 4th when we had the ball on the 1 then, next play on the 10 yard line.

Dak played like the ole bi-polar Dak we are used too. Looking confused and holding the ball.

Wish he could put a whole season together like the stretch he had going a few weeks ago...at home.

Look I'm not saying I'm correct I'm saying it just felt to me that it looked like an RPO possibly he thought the ball was gonna be fake to him and Prescott was gonna pull it out and run there was some miscommunication but Prescott was handing it off the whole time as if it was just a straight up full back up the middle play so yeah I mean maybe it was miscommunication maybe it was just bad concentration by the fullback but anybody blaming Prescott for this he put the ball right where he normally would put it in hunter never really even moved his arms down to grab it so yeah he thought it maybe was a fake I don't know but that's the kind of crazy **** that happens to us on the road in late games situations where mistakes made just like the first Philadelphia game you know the toe stepping out of bounds not getting the call and the goal line you know an inch from winning I mean it's not like we can't play well on the road we just have some of the weirdest **** happen at the end of games in the situational game ending plays just something always seems to be going wrong..

 

[glimmerman]

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

I get the feeling that Luepke and Dak have not worked a lot together in the run game. He never got the ball. When a QB and RB work together they get a feel for where he likes it. I have seen some RB or FB like it higher or some in the gut and some right in the middle of there upper body. He is strong and 230 pounder. Like I had mentioned I was with family and missed most of the game but heard he got a few short yardage first down pick ups. Would have to look at those snaps to see where Dak was putting the ball but that goal line play just looked strange. He didn’t stop to realize he didn’t have the ball, just kept running to the end zone.

Funny thing is that I was with family. My family is all fins fans and we all wanted to watch the game. But had to go to an early Christmas get together at a family members home and she didn’t want the TV and game on. Was supposed to be about family. We were all standing around trying to get updates on our phones. Some were watching the espn feed that was giving a play by play update and I was looking at the game thread here. I guess we were driving and my family was having fits and then I saw a post that we fumbled at the 1. We left soon after and got home to see Parsons get a roughing call after being put in a choke hold a few plays before with once again no flag. Then we finally sacked him. But the sense I got was they were not playing very well. Edoga looked like he was paid off to throw the game. Lol.

We are in the playoffs but better get our heads out of our behinds or lions will skunk us…

Luepke was a participant in a botched handoff. So what? Turnovers happen to the best of players.

Doesn't change the fact that he's been criminally underutilized all year. Wish he'd had more reps under his belt before yesterday; that's on the unimaginative coaching staff.

I was really happy to see Luepke in the game yesterday - before and AFTER that unfortunate fumble. We need a bigger RB for those situations; Pollard or Dowdle would have been stuffed (Pollard WAS, the previous play). And don't even talk about "play-action."

Well said.

 

[kskboys]

Let's see, the two players that this loss in on. I'll go w/ Dak and whichever CB kept getting beat like a drum.

OMG dude you’re so correct. It’s always the strangest crap ever. I think Luepke thought it was a decoy play. And it would be something we would pull down there on the 1. Let’s not just call the play to hand the dang ball off to a 230 pound FB that just got a few short yard pick ups for you. No matter how fins lined up if they handed it off to Luepke he would have scored. He knows just where to dive to pick up that yard. It’s easy money. Quit being cute and hand it off… Would like to hear Luepke or Dak explain what happened. But also if Pollard stretched the play to the pile on then it’s an easy TD. That play needed to go to Dowdle or didnt we bring Malik Davis up from PS.

Luekpe before this game had 3 carry’s all season. One was a TD from the 4 yard line. You have a Offense with red zone problems and a guy that is 230 pounds and can run short yardage and barely use him..

 

[Beaker42]

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.

Richards should’ve been in instead of Edoga. Our staff is clueless and sucks. Both Leupke and Edoga should already be cut.

 

[Beaker42]

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

You’re absolutely 109% incorrect.

This is a QBs league. You pay your QB. Your backup OT needs chip help obviously. Coaches royally screwed that up by not adjusting the gameplan for it. Inexcusable.

 

[shabazz]

What happened to the lupeke fan club on here?

I thought we are supposed to be fans of ALL the players. Did i miss the memo on that?

 

[shabazz]

That fumble turned a sure 7 points into 0. Yeah, who knows how the game plays out from there if we score, but points were at a premium in this game.

.....kind of like Dak stepping out of bounds on the 2 point conversion in Philly?

Well, that was sheer idiocy there.

Dallas had over $20 million of cap space this offseason and the guy they chose to sign was Edoga.

The obsession here with Dak's cap hit is weird, especially since it impacts nothing. All QB contracts across the NFL can be restructured to create all the space a team wants. The Saints were $20 million OVER the cap at the start of last offseason and still were able to make moves.
