We had San Francisco up against the ropes

[blueblood70]

I wasn't surprised even a little.

Zeke lost the capability to perform high level things several years ago. He's stiff and he's lost two steps.

Be disappointed in the OL, ES22 had the OL perform well, their identity was being physical.. TP was at 3.8 not doing much either( 3.8 ypc last 6 games, 0 tds, 51 YPG and 2 injuries.. thats Polards finish to the season) man i am so disappointed in mr.flash, Mr big play mr.speed, do nothing the last 6 games...

please stop go look at the Lines in those losses, Issue #1= no run game . line being stood up and not blocking or opening holes, committing penalties. Last 3 playoff losses 50% on the OL alone.. facts Rbs or qbs for that matter cannot function when an OL isnt doing their part. Those big physical DL/Front 7 defenses expose or OL. pollard 2 games against Washington 2 YPC, game 1 TB 1.8 YPC, wow not sure why he was resigned, so disappointing add in his por pass blocking.. shocking. maybe its the OL hmmm

 

[locked&loaded]

What happened?

Dak happened.


Comparing Zeke and Emmitt is a bit like comparing a muscle car to a Toyota Priius.

which one is which?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I don't know why they had to give the ball to Zeke. He was so ineffective in this game as were the other games he played.

Zeke's ineffectiveness was obvious. And yet as dismal as that was, Tony only got one more yard per carry.

Explain that.

"yeah we were kicking the ARSE until tony went down"

No we weren't. Not in our run game.

Thank you. Finally someone saying the honest truth without "zeke hate" clouding the facts.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The defense did it's job, the so called leader of the offense crapped the bed. That offense wasn't doing much even before Pollard got hurt and it did even less once he got hurt.

one yard less in the run game....was what killed us? Come on.

Maybe i've misunderstood your point.

NFL Network is airing the 2022 Confernce game right now.

Man we had them until Pollard got injured. Dirty tackle also. Can't believe a bigger deal wasn't made out of that by the league.

Defense held that SF offense to 6 points up until that point. SF was rolling through everyone before that game.

We had them.......

More people hate the Cowboys than love them.

 

[Pass2Run]

I believe Turpin almost broke one open, but cut the wrong way and Diggs dropped an int that hit his chest.

Turpin's lack of vision lost us the game. The two best plays at San Fran were by Kelvin Joseph and the block by Luke Gifford that should have sprung Turpin home free, but he ran straight into the kicker and does his obligatory Turpin ball pat.

I hate that pat, because he does it when he screws up.

Gallup was also wide open but Dak missed him.

 

[Brooksey]

Not quite 'had them beat in the trenches', didn't they take 9 mins off the block as we couldn't stop the run...but the rest are valid points

Rewatch it, they were handled. They couldn't run and Pollard had lanes before he went down.

In the 4th quarter with 10 minutes left, McCaffery had his first 1st down

This is exactly right.

That was a defensive game, both defenses played good, the offenses only played meh.
SF offense was a little better than dallas, or their defense was?
Dak threw 2 int, and it is hard to do that and win in a game like that.

Shanahan is good coach during reg season, but he usually does not do well in playoffs as playcaller or HC.
The next week against phil, he was awful , purdy got hurt so early, but I think he would have been out coached and lost anyway.

 

[stilltheguru]

People crying about Dak and their solution was Dalton Kincaid lol. Never change cz

 

[ChuckA1]

If we're going to compliment Dak when he plays well, we should be able to critique him when he plays poorly. He stunk against the 49er's two years in a row.

 

[DandyDon52]

This is why I don't get all the pre-draft doom and gloom. As mentioned in many threads we were this close () to the NFCCG. It's almost as if Dak lost all confidence in the game plan once Pollard went down. This is why for whatever reason we don't currently have a RB a and RB a1 is baffling.

they should have at least tried to get gibbs, imagine having him and pollard.

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

Had them the year before also till # 4 failed once again to lead our offense to victory.
The same will occur again this coming season when we meet a real defense in the playoffs.
Nothing new here.......
P.S. What does the defense have to do hold teams to 0 points so we win 9-0 with 3 field goals????

U R so right, but of course nobody mentions Dak’s ints as the biggest factor in that game.

 

[CowboyoWales]

This quote is dumb because Dallas consistently tried to force the run.

The coaching staff gives Dak - really the whole passing game - no chance because they refuse to consistently throw on first down.

....why is it 'dumb'?? Their Safety is bragging on how they beat us, if we dont use the run effectively (granted we were too predictable) they'd rush 4 and sit back in coverage, which Dak cant beat.

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Honestly when Tony went down, I knew we were done. The whole team played discombobulated the rest of the game... coaching especially.

 

[Jarv]

Why didn't you follow Romo into retirement? STHU

I'll take that as a no comment, which we all know what that means.

Wouldnt say had them. But yah, once Pollard went down and Zeke came in the entire game changed. WE no longer had a run game, they no longer respected the run game and were just flooding the passing lanes with the nickel zone. And teeing off on the pass rush. We were one dimensional. And we all know what happens when its 2nd and 3rd and long because your RB cant go anywhere.

I believe Turpin almost broke one open, but cut the wrong way and Diggs dropped an int that hit his chest.

And Hooker dropped another pick right in his hands.
