Zeke on the INT is about to be a thing

[Boyzmamacita]

You mean like pull a TO and throw a helmet on the sideline.. or yell like Dez?

It's all subjective

I don't see a connection, but OK.

 

[TrailBlazer]

I think if the game was closer you would have seen some effort.

Pretty sure he gets paid the same regardless. So ******* play. I dont care what the score is, i expect full effort. He owes it to fans that are out here sticking up for his dumb *** every day.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Non issue to me.

But go on and act like the sky is falling

He owes it to his teammates who are actually giving full effort in spite of the score. Every year there are teams who's seasons are over by Thanksgiving. Guess they should just throw in the towel and forfeit.

Who cares? The guy has been taken to the woodshed for a false DV claim and the game was well out of reach. This is making a mountain out of a molehill so of course some members of the idiotic media with its agenda will look again to demonize him, this time for something entirely insignificant.

The game wasn't well out of reach. We were down 18 but we'd have 6 offensive possessions before the game concluded. And aren't we supposed to be an elite offense?

Does 28-3 mean anything to you? It'd a joke how people coddle Zeke.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

By that point in the game I had quit on the game too so why would I blame Zeke for doing the same. He quit, so what. His quitting didn't cost the game... it was already lost. Zeke got beat up yesterday because others didn't do their job and so how is he suppose to care at that point in the game?

Yikes.

 

[Nav22]

This is the kind of story that only exists after a loss. Is it next Monday yet?

 

[Hoofbite]

Yikes.

No kidding. I'm not sure I could be a fan if I didn't have the expectation that the players cared as much as I do.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

better than getting injured trying to tackle the guy

Right? On every interception our offensive players should just let the other team score. Our offensive players are not used to tackling. We don't want them to get injured on the play.

I'm legit surprised you feel this way bro. It's never over until the clock strikes zeros.

We need to tell Zeke to start avoiding contact and remove him from his blocking assignments. Can't chance it.

 

[Hoofbite]

I see the play for what it is. At that point in the game, it was pretty much decided imo. It doesn't bother me. How many times have we seen guys running speed pull up because they pulled something. At that point, I don't mind him not pursuing the play. He quit on the play, yes. Didn't make any excuses for it. Jason and Co. Will call him out.

Not nearly as many as the number of times we see players run full speed and come away unharmed.

It is a thing. Zeke's demeanor is troubling to me. He has no spark right now and I don't mean just because he was stuffed all game. He looked subdued in the Sunday Night game too. Even his "feed me" celebration looked lethargic. But yesterday took the cake. He stood there with his hands on his hips and made no effort to help his team. You have to show up whether things are going good or bad, especially if they're going bad. This game was over, but what if there was a chance to mount a comeback? With his attitude, it wouldn't be possible.

I don't care what anybody says, the legal proceedings are getting to him.

Yeah, well I guess they are "getting to him." But is that necessarily a bad thing? Maybe it shows he cares and doesn't just think he's above it all. Because he's not. Yeah, I know my speculation is a reach but that's what the internet is for.

Yeah...part of the game is to give it your all. Especially when you make that kind of money. Serious character flaw red flag frankly.

Terrell Davis started his HoF career with a special teams tackle in a pre-season game and effectively ended it making a tackle on an interception. Never heard him or anyone else suggest he should not have made the attempts.

This and he came into camp grossly out of shape. I blame the coaching staff a little because they should have gotten him into football shape. Having said that its on him to get himself physically ready for the season. He looks both mentally and physically unprepared.

There are some games were I can sense they have it within them to come back. They did it several times last season and almost did it in the playoffs. But that doesn't mean it's never over til it's over. They were getting beat by a better team not because of their own mistakes. Mistakes can be corrected and over come, better teams are just going to beat you down no matter what you do. The Cowboys can learn from this and be the better team the next time they meet. But in this game by the end of the 3rd qtr the contest was over. Our playmakers were over their head. This kind of game tells me what matters... it's not DLaw getting sacks, it's not the defensive secondary getting INTs or Dez catching 2 TDs. We did all those things and the team still got waxed. The thing that matters most is Zeke running the ball. If he can't get going, we can't win. When the O-line loses in the trenches we can not win. I saw that battle being lost early in the game so it was a hopeless cause to continue thinking they'll turn it around that game. What they can do it watch the tape and not repeat those mistakes. I have not given up on the Cowboys season. I still expect them to bounce back and take no prisoners next week. But that game at Mile High Stadium was futile after the 3rd qtr.

Any time Zeke isn't playing 100% perfect, it's going to be a thing, probably for his entire careee. People want him to be an example of the "bad guy athlete" so bad they're going to project.

Mind you, he was **** yesterday and gave up several times, but get used to seeing all his plays dissected for something bad.

 

[AmishCowboy]

It should be a thing.

but Garrett won't do a single thing about it.

He will behind closed doors, count on that!

I just legitimately feel as though Denver was not the better team. Both teams were evenly matched.

Denver outdid us in preparation and mental approach. It wasn't even close mentally. I have always placed deficits of that nature on coaching.
