What kind of negative play frustrates you the most.

[Staggerlee]

opponent scoring a touchdown, interception, romo getting sacked,penalties???

For me personally its when we go 3 and out after the other team scored, gets me so frustrated. Followed closely by having them in a third and long and they somehow manage to get the first down.

3 and outs frustrate me more than anything, especially when it's 3 consecutive short plays. I don't mind chipping down to 3rd and 2 and not making it, but bad 3 and outs really make me angry.

I also can't stand it when we give up the 1st downs on long 3rd downs. It's like we can usually stuff the run at 3rd and 4 or shorter, but if they are passing on third down we might as well get ready to see a 1st down.

 

[TheSport78]

Nothing made me vomit more than a Julius Jones -2 run on 1st down.

 

[JBS]

Illegal contact on the other side of the field when it appears our defense made a stop on 3rd down...ARGH!!!

Next would probably be an offensive holding / illegal formation type of penalty negating a big play by the offense.

 

[dadymat]

offensive penalties kill me......like getting a 25 yrd play on first down then it gets called back because a hold then its 1st and 20..............or false start when its 3rd and short........

 

[WoodysGirl]

pre-snap penalties...

False start Flo
Illegal motion/procedure - any receiver who motions or lines up incorrectly

We think alike, my friend.

 

[theebs]

Penalties of all kind.

For me its particularly annoying watching the secondary get them seemingly for a decade now as a regular part of every game.

I feel I have become conditioned to just expecting the secondary and the defense make a crucial penalty and flip a games worth of momentum.

Nailed.


Nothing like having the rug pulled out from under you.

 

[Big Dakota]

Not being able to close out a game on D when we have the lead with under 3 minutes to go.

 

[Rampage]

fumbles. I hate to see one of our guys Fumble more than anything.

For me throwing the floater like romo threw without even looking for the safety,

then when a blitzer like ken hamllin runs right by the rb and he makes a big gain, when should have been a big loss,

then the prevent defense when we allow the opposing team to march right down the field, i would rather have the team go after the qb no matter what on obvious passing downs;

the dbs looking confused and lost on passing downs allowing receptions by opposing team

:bang2:

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Turnovers, of course. Those actually lose games.

Agree here...3 and outs frustrate me when Garrett calls 3 freaking PASS PLAYS!! and we get zero yards and have to punt it away when our RB's were shredding the Giants.

Penalites next especially the ones that erase big plays...like the one stupid flozell had.

 

[Jenky]

Not converting on 3rd and 1.

 

[rkell87]

field goals where they play em like extra points...where just the one guy trys to jump to block it and nobody else even trys.

close second is luck bs turnovers like the witten foot int. i can respect being in the right place on a bad pass or tipped/defended pass but when the defender is shocked/suprised with a gift bounce into his hands that grinds my gears.

 

[Tobal]

Going away from what's working, especially in game awareness stiuations.

If you are killing a team with the run and you come out and throw three incomplete passes when your defense has just been on the field for 10 minutes.

I know it's not always easy and I know going for the knockout can be incredible... but the way we were running the ball last week and the game situation, I was so disappointed in that call.

Whatever happened to the adages of "run it till they stop it" and "protect the ball". We had great field position against a gassed defense, a chance to go up by 2 scores or at least pin them deep., and a chance to let our defense rest.

We did none of that.... dumb football makes me mad, and It just kills me that my fav team and only team I am capable of rooting for is a dumb team (at this point)

 

[coblue]

big loss sacks where you run around / backwards when you can just chuck it to anywhere out of bounds

 

[lostinomiya]

slow starts and prevent defense....not negative play as such but frustrating

 

[viman96]

+1

And personal fouls
