Who is to blame for losing to Denver.

[Wolverine]

Who do you blame the most.

1. The offensive line. The worse OL in the NFL by far. Why they are even in the NFL is serious question.


2. Drew Bledsoe for his INT returned for a TD.

3. Billy Cundiff for his missed FG.

4. Bad play calling by the coaches.



For me it is real easy. The sorriest excuse for a offensive line in the NFL. They can not open any holes for our running game. The give Bledsoe almost no time to throw the ball.

Our OL is such a joke that it holds back what Peyton and Parcells would really like to do on offense. So I would say bad play calling is out for me. Blaming Bledso and Cundiff are out for me.

It is real easy. The OL is why we lost today. I ashamed they even play for the Cowboys. What disgraces.

No one. The wins as a team and loses as a team. Blame the whole team if you have to blame someone.

Agreed!!! The OLINE is killing us though...

Agree'd. We need a retool on the Oline big time.

It was Bush's fault.

Watch a Houston game and get back to me on how bad our OLine is.

Bledsoe had time today against a confusing defense.

Good point, but we did have to throw way too much today. Did you see the stat that Bledsoe's winning % is like 57% when he throws it 39 times or less and it's only 38% or so when he throws it 40 times or more. Big Difference!
He had 44 attempts today.

You get no argument from me - I think the loss of Flo is huge (obviously) and I think that our center is very, very suspect.

I hope we can get this oline smaller - I have never been a fan of the enormous mauler type guys - the defense just flies around them.

I just want to tap the breaks on the 'worst OL" in the league idea. There are plenty worse, and the pass protection was pretty decent.

i've got a better question............. why the hell are you and your pathetic, hate filled immature posts allowed on this once great forum?

Our O-Line is to blame. They can't get the running game any holes.

Drew Bledsoe is to blame because he threw 2 picks, one that was returned for a TD.

The coaches bad playcalling is to blame. DO call a pass play short of the stick on 3rd down.

Billy Cundiff is to blame because of his missed FG.

The D-Line is to blame because they gave up that big run in OT.

Bottom line is everyone shares in the blame. This was a total team loss.

On that last one, I would have to go back and watch, but I dunno that it was the DLine that gave up that run as much as it was all the box players and the secondary.

Which brings me to another point - WE HAVE to get better at LBer. We had a zero coverage blitz at one point in the game, and Glenn got burned for a TD.

The point was that everyone had a hand in the loss. You can't just hang the blame on one guy or one unit.

Why is Wolverine not on that list? :

 

[EndGame]

In my humble opinion, you have to pin this one on Cundiff. The team did enough to get the go-ahead field goal late(ish) in the fourth quarter against a very good opponent. An NFL kicker has to make 34 yard clutch field goals ... period. That distance should be a gimme.

 

[Cowboy Junkie]

No doubt that the Oline blew it.
their poor play affects the play calling....
Denver was just getting to much pressure on Drew so they had to go with that quick pass too much....
I only see what they show me on the TV , so I can not evaluate with any conviction , but if I had to guess I would think we need a center in the worst way!!!

 

[SuspectCorner]

cundiff sucked today - but the root is the O-line....

 

[kojak]

What about the ref who flipped the coin? It's all his fault, he should of used a two headed coin

 

[Phrozen Phil]

Our guys lost a close one in overtime to a very good Denver team. I don't think anybody needs to hang their head or get down on anyone. Blame is not the issue. The young guys will learn and get better. The Cowboys will win their fair share of these types of games in the future. I saw plenty to be happy with. Had we won the toss in OT we might be talking about Canty's coming out party. He had a great game.

 

[percyhoward]

Here is the whole game: We averaged 2.7 per run against a defense that came in giving up 4.0
