Update on Zach Martin?

[foofighters]

What Martin did was negate a huge 15 yard penalty that could have gotten us going. But I am skeptical about them “accidentally” running into his knee later. They did more than punch us in the mouth.. I think they played a little dirty for a bit. But that’s just my opinion..

I do see that about wiping out 15 yards but physical teams always have their way with us. It was obvious that the Bills came out and wanted to bully us. At least Zach showed something. It was somewhat of a statement. Sure, they still bullied us and we let them push us all over the place but it gives me a little hope.

In the hit on Zach, it didn't really look like much. I saw for more stuff going on.

What message did he send by “protecting” his QB?

‘If you hit my QB in the head I’m gonna bump you in the shoulder pad and curse at you?’

Stupid. But whatever. Yesterday was a full team loss and perfect storm of crap. I don’t expect to see that again until the final playoff game, when I fully expect it.

Yeah they went hard and we tried to respond. But we missed plays we usually make.. That punt block we have made and missed. I believe Sam has blocked a few and it sparked us to win the game. But he missed and it cost us a flag. And I believe he missed one against cards and it cost us a flag. Lost both games. But not his fault we lost, just an example of missed plays.

Dak missed long one on a sure TD to Cooks early that would have tied it early and responded to there score.. He missed another also. He was off and after the head hunting play he didn’t really want to chance running to much.

Martin was sticking and standing up for Dak and IMO the rest of the O-Line should have came over also. After that we should have driven down field and took the momentum.. Lamb took a hit and made a tough catch for a 1st down. We showed signs of fighting. But seemed when we did it the refs were ready with the flags. We tried to be smart. We couldn’t be tough enough on Defense and make tackles and stop the run. If we do that we would have beaten them down. Heck D-Law barely touches allen and he flops and gets a flag. And when Quinn can’t make a adjustment to stop the bleeding then it’s gonna be a tough game.. Does Hankins make that much of a difference. Go get suh..

Yeah against niners.. The recipe is simple. Run in B gap. Then play action.

Agree.....you can't keep letting a bully take your lunch money at the bus stop. You can't.

Like Opie Taylor you have to fight him or her sooner or later and best to be sooner.

Barely made any contact? Come on. That's a foul all day, any day. They got the offsetting so it was 1st Down at the spot without the extra 15 yards so you can live with it. But it was a foul.

the refs had clear marching orders. Minimize the calls with the Bills, maximize them when its Dallas. Refs have been used like this for decades. Its taboo to talk about so it never gets brought up. But the fans are smart. We have eyes. That said, not sure anything we did would have changed the outcome much yesterday. We made it easy on the refs and the Bills. Can't win with dumb. Parcells and Jimmy J said it and they are right. This offseason, first order of business is cutting Sam Williams or trading him for a bag of chips. We kept HIM instead of Isaiah Land. I hated this move. That kid had earned a chance to be here. Sam has squandered his chances.

Were there marching orders last week when the refs picked up 3 flags, all on us, and double penalized a Philly player? Two things that never happen in a game, let alone to all benefit one team in the same game. You got spoiled with that, huh? Lol.

Amputation

 

[Captain-Crash]

I don't fault Zack at all. He's doing what he should do, protecting his QB. Sending a message early. It's only an issue in hindsight because of all the team's penalties and bad loss.

What worries me is Dak sure does take a long time to slide. Dude is last second. That's how he got hurt. He's got some of that Josh Allen in him, wants to run it like a RB.

put a dress on dak, I hear he's having a baby too.

For motivation, I'd pull that episode from Andy Griffith and have the team watch it.

Quad injury. He thinks he’ll be ready for Miami.

https://www.dallascowboys.com/news/zack-martin-avoids-major-injury-hopeful-to-play-in-miami

Quad injury to a guy who needs primarily his quads to pounce. I say sit him for a week. From what I remember Bass wasn't bad.

 

[Cowboys4lifeGR]

The guy that intentionally launched at Dak’s face while he was sliding should have been ejected.

They came to brawl and send a message. We apparently came to have wine and cheese at a dinner party.

Once they hit Dak dirty for the second time, you absolutely intentionally blast Allen and let them know you will bring the pain. Take the flag and clear the benches if you need to.

This team did not respond with any kind of fight or pride. Quite revealing unfortunately. But not surprising

FANTASTIC opinion my friend. We got ***** slapped in Buffalo.

Yes everything went wrong it snowballed we need to just forget this game and move on to Miami..... Kinda felt like that Denver game the year before like 2021..its happens in my opinion this is the worst loss of the year so it's time to just move on from it...

You do understand that almost no one thinks you are anything but a shill for the officials, right?

No we need Zach Martin and by the way that type of injury if it is just a major bruise like Ezekiel your head those things if you warm them up and pregame and as the game goes on it loosens up and you can play all game normally on it you don't lose a lot of power the problem is if it's a pull or a tear or something like that like a strain yeah maybe that's a problem but if it isn't just a big bruise then he'll be fine,, I don't believe that coaching staff or the trainers will allow him to play if he can't play and he'll let them know how he feels...

2. I am not a fan of personal fouls but I LOVED what he did last night on Dak's late hit.

Did Dak even get "hit" on that play? Looked in real time like the defender flew over the top of him.

It was a costly penalty caused by a lack of personal control.

 

[boysfanindc]

Have have no problem with Zach protecting his QB (as a matter of fact where was the rest of the OL) but if you are going to take a penalty then de-cleat the guy. If you going to send a message, then send a message.

 

[MarcusRock]

When "no one" pays my salaries or my taxes, I might care. Might. Meanwhile, "no one" even knows who the hell you are. I do though. Did you get banned and had to create a new account, fanboi? Tsk, tsk. Probably due to the same emotions that have you following me around from thread to thread. Lol.

He got brushed on his facemask so yeah he was hit.

Lol, finally a way to motivate and we not getting paid 6 and 7 figures from the Clampetts.
