Undisputed: Michael Irvin explains why he felt the Cowboys did not win that game

I agree with Irv. The offense is a big concern. When they look good the Cowboys look unbeatable. But when they don't, it's painful to watch.

1. The offense has taken a big step back in the last two weeks when it comes to scoring.
2. The red zone miscues have been an issue all season long.
3. If it wasn't for sure foot Aubrey would they be fighting for the NFCE title this weekend?

Michael looked a little PO'd Saturday night that Lamb shredded his records.

They're not clicking at all and it doesn't bode well for the playoffs.

 

[Risen Star]

That's because we didn't win the game.

Any honorable man considers the Cowboys 10-6.

Irvin's records were much more impressive. This is era driven.

I feel like they should call 5-10 designed runs for Dak in the playoff game. 4 yards a play is fine .

Michael's right, in that the DAL offense has been a distressing disappointment in three consecutive games. An act that won't go over well in the playoffs. Or even in Landover next weekend.

No one who's examined all the evidence can ingenuously contend that the Lions were "robbed." And I don't think Michael believes that either.

 

[CT Dal Fan]

The Cowboys are still moving the ball. They just aren't finishing as many drives against better teams lately.

Then again, they would have had 27 points at Miami if Luepke didn't fumble at the one.

And if Lamb didn't fumble against the Lions- and if the officials called tripping on the right team in the 4th- they could have had as much as 31 points Saturday.

It really comes to the O line. Run blocking is none existant. Not sure why we have so much penatration, although I think part of it is on Pollard, hesitating to much in the backfield, but he is most likely waiting on a hole to open. Pass blocking is boom or bust either Dak as all the time in the world on he has none. Its really prevented us from getting into a rhythem these past couple weeks.

Agreed about the o-line. Lack of continuity has been the main issue due to injuries. I really hope Smith will be fine moving forward

 

[Asklesko]

They didn't win. They just survived.

 

[Staubacher]

That's because we didn't win the game.

Any honorable man considers the Cowboys 10-6.

Yet you posted a thread congratulating them on winning the NFC East.

 

[glimmerman]

Was another close game against a good team needing a win. If the tripping call was done correctly then game was over. Our Offense needs to step up.

 

[lwehlers]

the cowboys just cannot run the ball efficiently. i was disgutsted the whole game that most of the running play only got one yard or less. this week the weather is going to be a struggle in washington to throw thirty times or more this team needs to find an average running game to make a deep playoff run. teams will blitz every down in the playoff games to win and stop dallas from moving the ball.

 

[Beaker42]

He’s right. It’s a W that feels like an L because of Lamb’s fumble for a touchback and Quinn’s stupid soft D on Lions’ last drive.

 

[KJJ]

Totally disagree with him about the defense. Despite the offensive struggles that unit gave us the lead in both games in the closing minutes but the defense couldn’t hold.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

That's because we didn't win the game.

Any honorable man considers the Cowboys 10-6.

An honorable man considers the Hendershot gaffe.

An honorable man considers the Hendershot gaffe.

That was honorably considered and dismissed.
