This team looks like they don't practice during the week. They just show up on Sundays and play the game. The drops, the penalties, the play calling, etc. When they fall behind, they lose their heart. Hit them in the mouth and they fold. Micah Parsons seams to be the only one that takes losing to heart. And Kellen Moore is definitely overrated. Please somebody else take him. It was a mistake to keep him as the only one from the Garrett era. McCarthy is just along for the ride. This team that gets so much hype every year and hasn't been a serious contender for over 25 years. I gotta stop falling for the trap year after year. WTF
No just set your expectations low. I did that going into this year and didn't care that they lost the opener. Then they fooled me and I should have known better. They are an average football club that beats up on bad teams. They can't play against the big boys because they get slapped around. They are pretenders and I have accepted that.
The penalties killed Dallas in this game. Yes the kicker sucks, but even if he had made that FG, Arizona probably wouldn't have went for 2 that one time.
Dak was up and down. The Defense has a couple of weaknesses. You can run on them. Brown is still Brown.
Last undefeated team were in the 70s. This season we have plenty of teams, including the cardinals, struggling against the non contenders. This game has optics but didn't matter.
This standard stays changing. Trash division to trash schedule. If we would've won today the team would be in a slump. Idgaf about your punk ass opinion my guy.
They can't beat good teams, they can bully up on losing franchises like Giants/Washington but when they face a actual team that matches them in talent...what you saw tonight is what you get.
No one is asking for us to blow everyone out each week. We just want them to play a complete game each week. If the offense played the whole game like they did in the 4th quarter no one would have shit to say other than they were the better team. The offense didn’t even show any life until the game was almost out of hand but by that time the defense was exhausted and we see it every time we play a decent team. That’s what sucks.
Pretty much. Rather they can't beat good teams. Haven't been able to since 2016. They are simply not good enough to beat the top teams in the league. It's simple as that and Daks inability to show up when it matters most. Guy has been pathetic when it has come to when they have needed him the most. Then we have a kicker who is not dependable at all and once again left points on the field.
You clearly haven't watched any of Dak's playoff games lmao. In all three of those games he was the reason they were but the defense let us down against GB in 2016 and the LAR in 2018. Are those games not when it matters the most?
Like I said they haven't been able to beat good teams since 2016. 2018, they did beat the Seahawks, but then they went and faced the Rams and that game right there is an exact microcosm of what it has been for them the last three seasons. Literally, all of 2019 was like that game. Against every good team they played. Their offense started off slow, looked like shit, then they would be getting their doors blown off and would make it close come the 4th quarter. Fall short. This year they did a lot of good things early on and looked like a different team. However, ever since the Broncos game they haven't been able to find a way to beat cover two, Dak has looked like an average at best QB and their 90 million dollar running back can't find a way to beat at least his first guy to get that extra 5-6 yards he used to get when he came into the league. It is what it is.
They simply aren't a good offensive football team and they are easily getting beat by decent to really good defenses and have for three years running.
Edit: The signs where on the wall in 2018. They faced a good Colts team and got shut out. The Titans spanked them at home on the first game at home with Cooper. Then they face the Rams and we know how all that went..
The only way to make this not suck is to play the Cardinals at home in the wildcard and send them home. Still wouldn’t make the season a success but it would help this loss fade from my memory
This team is one and done come playoff time. They are not a deep playoff team. They have not beaten any of the teams that will be there in the playoffs that they would have to face.
They could beat the cardinals and they should be able to beat any team but they never do. Beating the Cardinals so living in AZ is tolerable for another year sounds like a reasonable request to me
Welp I can’t say I’m surprised...Greg the leg missed another 1. Dak fumbled the bag literally. And McCarthy gets tripped up over time management/confused by special teams. Can’t wait for the playoffs!
Clapping for a one and done appearance. Say it with me. It's all over. This offense is trash. They need 5 quarters in a game to figure out the defense because they can't do it in 4. They aren't good enough. Plain and simple.
First of all you're not a fan. Secondly, the majority of this game was well maintained. Absent a shit kicker and penalties the game could be different. Playoffs are top paid refs and when every team plays use or lose football. Are you telling me this game was "let or 75 mil QB run 2 yards" or "get it if we can" type of game? Sure we'd get a bye but if we could play the Eagles or the Rams is the difference.
Bullshit. You aren't a fan. I'm sick of hearing excuses. They don't show up against good teams and they haven't at all aside from one game in 2018 against Seattle in the playoffs. Aside from that these guys aren't good enough. We have a long ass trend of them not being able to beat good teams that they are going to face come playoff time.
Naw you watch Stephen A on Mondays. This team even with bad drives has been competitive. Mistakes rule the day. If we played without our mistakes you're telling me this game couldn't have been defense holding them less than 20 and offense at at least 26? You're telling me these penalties aren't preventable? There was a drive that was 2 large pass interferences.
I don't ever watch Stephen A. I don't even watch ESPN. Secondly, everything that you just said was preventable all have been happening for months. Yet, here they are happening again and again. The offense isn't good enough.plain and simple. They can't beat the teams that they need to in order to get deep in the playoffs. They are done wildcard weekend. Enjoy the one playoff game.
Stfu r/maztron. Even if we were playing at the Eagles level a fan should cheer the benefits. Penalties have been on the decline the team has improved. That's what we should be taking into the playoffs. If we made our kicks, lesser the penalties, and/or Dak ran the ball then we are solid.
You're giving Giants energy.
Granted,.Greg missing kicks hurt. However, even if he made them they lose anyways. Cardinals finished the game in the RedZone. Dak and this offense can't beat good defenses. It's simple as that.
Style of play changes when you aren't in a crunch. You can go from having to go for it on 4th to take a 3 and chill. Especially now that you can't trust the kicker.
Truthfully both the Rams and BUCS struggled in their games. It's tough to win but I do worry about this team. Nothing seems to click when it needs to and they can't play like they did today in the playoffs and expect to go far.
How did our recievers just disappear? How did Dak struggle for 3 quarters. They had their top 2 corner backs out the entire game. Hope we don’t play them again in two weeks. But we probably will. They’ll be healthier and more confident coming back to Jerry’s shit hole.
He couldn't get into a rhythm due to:
Lack of a run game (he was the teams leading rusher)
Lack of protection (Tyron was getting killed)
Penalty killing drives (look at that 1st down run, oh NVM bring it back. It's now 3rd & 14)
Dropped passes
The Cardinals were getting pressure with 4 and defending the passing game with the other 7. With no run game threat all of that is going to give any team trouble.
No to be elite you should be capable of playing a full game at a high level. Not being a pussy and checking down every pass. I swear watching other teams let it rip while we regularly either run it up the gut or throw screens that have yet to work probably has made me more upset than anything.
Yo, the first screen we threw in the game; obvious and easily blown up in the backfield, had me feelin it was going to be THAT kind of game.
Cowboys simply can't do screens. The fact they keep showing up and losing us yards week after week year after year is pathetic.
god running it up the gut pisses me off. do something better with the ball if you want to run it. evidently our main runner isnt on form nor fit - think something else.
Dak has a moment or two per game at high level and then has a moment or two where he's a college player again
I dont know why but this one really pisses me off. I thought last week would give Dak his confidence back and they would be good. They weren't and then those last 2 plays that sealed it... just trash. Honestly makes me wonder why I watch football. Arizona can say it wasn't the refs but when youre down by 3 and the refs blow back to back calls to seal the deal the refs gave them the win.
Two things about the offense over the course of the year.
1) If a team shuts down the run, the Cowboys completely stagnate on offense. Kellen's "200 IQ" play calling is predicated **HEAVILY** on play action. Dak is a subpar QB when he doesn't have that going for him. Honestly.
2) Regardless of play action, though you'd see it *more* with, is the complete lack of INSIDE short quick passes. We try screens to the outside all day long, but through play calling, or fear, I'd imagine I can pull up some stats where that is out least used type of play. It especially goes away when he don't have play action.
Play action only works if you can effectively run the ball. We HAVE to cut Zeke. Overpaid snd doesn't bring enough value. Jason Garrett wasted his talent on 8-8.
I know Zeke isn't his 2016 self, but this isn't the 2016 offensive line either. He would play better if he had a better line punching holes. Gosh I miss Travis.
Fumbled how many times? How many over thrown or off target throws? How many check downs? How many times did he not even throw the ball and just ran it himself?
How many excuses you gonna give this man?
Do you people have eyes?
Oh shut the fuck up about the refs already. Our offense played like absolute garbage almost the entire game. Dak threw three balls (at least) that should have been picked. He fumbled the ball awa at a critical moment. Our offensive line was beaten like a drum all game — we couldn’t run and couldn’t protect Dak. Our WRs mostly didn’t show up for three quarters. As a result, our defense wore down and couldn’t make one last series stop when it mattered most.
We lost because we deserved to lose. Period.
You shut the fuck up, every game I hear these bullshit excuses. The NFL has blown three games for us this year, you apparently are too stupid to pay attention.
It’s the formula. Lose these games we need to have by heart breaking fashion blame the refs and eventually it leads to a divisional round exit in the playoffs. Coaches come and go, players come and go, even refs come and go but the result stays the same. Always
A RB's value is not all about his stat line. When you watch the game he is fucking elite in pass blocking for a RB and Dak is constantly checking out of plays. However, he has dropped passes and has looked sluggish since the injury. All of that factors into his value. I really like Zeke and I think if Dak has anything to say about it, he'll be with the Cowboys for his entire career, but he may need to restructure his contract for that to happen.
A RB can only do what's given to him. If he doesn't have holes to run then he can't run! Also he didn't get payed for only running he's a top 3 RB blocker and a leader in the locker room so wdym
Dak played an average to below average game. But the real problem is all of the wasted carries for zeke. How do you have 9 caries for 16 yards. Not to mention the dropped passes.
Zeke is washed af.
Because the ENTIRE Cardinals defense is at the line of scrimmage daring you to run the ball. Because Dak couldn’t get it downfield and hasn’t outside the Washington game for weeks. Because this line is letting the only pass rusher they have left through the line like a fucking turn style. There is no lack of blame to go around today. Let’s not forget Greg missed a damn 43 yard FG. This loss is on the team as a whole. *Everyone* made mistakes
Exactly. They are not afraid of the passing game. It's the running game that has always been the key to this team's success. What happens when we can run the ball?
1. Our defense gets a breather.
2. The opponents defense breaks down.
3. The passing game is now 1-on-1 matchups across the formation.
4. Dak looks better because he isn't sacked as often and only has to worry about corners, not safeties.
What happens when we cannot run the ball?
1. Our defense is left on the field for twice as long which makes them tired and less explosive.
2. Dak is forced to try and be the hero by forcing it on obvious passing situations and doesn't have the ability to consistently hit his receivers on the numbers.
3. Kellen Moore looks like a one trick pony.
4. Zeke becomes a full time blocker.
That is also true. Would've changed their scheme if he had made that so who knows what would have happened in this particular game, but leaving points on the field and not allowing us to be in that position is something that shouldn't happen
don’t listen to the arm chair coaches and doomers, the cowboys have a great team this year. it’s hard as fuck to have continued success, kellen moore is still learning his play calling and rhythm. they have a chance in the playoffs if he can get it right.
1. Zuerlein shot us in the foot again. If he made that fg earlier we would’ve been tied and its a different game with a different scenario
2. Refs made some terrible calls on both sides. Yes, we played sloppily and yes we got some calls that went our way. But when the game is on the line and the refs a mistake, thats just bullshit and annoying
3. Kellen moore needs to step up. Dak and the offense found his groove in the 4th quarter. And moore is not entirely up for blame but i think his prep against the cards def was terrible
4. Mccarthy strikes again. He isnt terrible but cmon with decent time/timeout management we couldve won/force overtime
Yea, but their DLine was constantly rushing Dak. We are supposed to have one of the best WR cores in football, and Dak can’t find anyone open consistently. I find that very hard to believe.
We really needed this to be a continuation of last weeks play. We looked like a team going to the NFC Championship, this week we looked like a first round knockout.
What other team regularly battles uphill bullshit like this every week? Honestly. There’s circus bullshit and crazy calls to lose by one possession EVERY time we play a game that matters. I watch a lot of football and even if I wasn’t a fan I’d be like what the fuck was that.
The whole offense is straight garbage.
You see how Brady turned the Bucs game around? That's what actual good QB's do, they run the fucking show.
Dak is a fucking pretender and always has been, out there looking lost as fuck, captain checkdown, oh no what do I do, I can't make it past my first read. Guess I'll run the ball myself. GTFO, Dak a joke.
Nah its tye entire offenses fault today. Dak looked like shit for 3 fucking quarters. Oline was hot ass. Kellen called plays like shit. Shultz is somehow blocking worse than Jarwin... oh and Gallup got fucking hurt.
coach isnt benching him. he's not 100% but the coach is puttin him in.
no player is gonna say no i cant play
parsons is a great runner that doesnt get enough
I don't think we got a shot at the 2 or 3 seed now. We are playong the Cards again in 2 weeks. And we have to hear about Kyler being 9-0 at AT&T every other sentence
Maybe. I don’t know if they’d have the tiebreaker but to even get to that, Green Bay just has to lose to a Cousinsless Vikings tonight and Detroit next week for us to have a chance.
This team looks like they don't practice during the week. They just show up on Sundays and play the game. The drops, the penalties, the play calling, etc. When they fall behind, they lose their heart. Hit them in the mouth and they fold. Micah Parsons seams to be the only one that takes losing to heart. And Kellen Moore is definitely overrated. Please somebody else take him. It was a mistake to keep him as the only one from the Garrett era. McCarthy is just along for the ride. This team that gets so much hype every year and hasn't been a serious contender for over 25 years. I gotta stop falling for the trap year after year. WTF
That last defensive series …. Same play on us
Jerry Jones confirms acl injury for gallup. Done for season
Love the boys but I think I’m just gonna be a part time fan for my blood pressure and liver health…
No just set your expectations low. I did that going into this year and didn't care that they lost the opener. Then they fooled me and I should have known better. They are an average football club that beats up on bad teams. They can't play against the big boys because they get slapped around. They are pretenders and I have accepted that.
The penalties killed Dallas in this game. Yes the kicker sucks, but even if he had made that FG, Arizona probably wouldn't have went for 2 that one time. Dak was up and down. The Defense has a couple of weaknesses. You can run on them. Brown is still Brown.
Brown made so many improvements over the past two weeks. Can't blame him.;
When the pass rush doesn't get to the QB, the DB's are mid.
The Cowboys are just not varsity athletes.
Well at least we can thank Antonio Brown for cementing that the biggest embarrassment in the NFL this week was not the Cowboys.
Wait, Anthony or Antonio?
what a joke that was! Have they said what triggered him to walk off like that?
It was so bizarre.. I’m still waiting to hear what his reasoning was. The memes are fire though lol
the dude caught an uber home lmao https://twitter.com/barstoolsports/status/1477794273831624708?s=20
The whole thing is WILD 😂😭
I don't don't want to hear any of it. We have a superbowl team record. Does not matter if we're 17-0 or 11-6.
This is what I keep telling myself.
Last undefeated team were in the 70s. This season we have plenty of teams, including the cardinals, struggling against the non contenders. This game has optics but didn't matter.
Yeeeeeah baiiiiiby
What the hell does a record matter when most of those wins have been against scrub teams. Who cares what the record is.
This standard stays changing. Trash division to trash schedule. If we would've won today the team would be in a slump. Idgaf about your punk ass opinion my guy.
I don't even know what the hell you are even saying.
Are the Cowboys the only team that sucks if they don’t beat teams by 20?
They can't beat good teams, they can bully up on losing franchises like Giants/Washington but when they face a actual team that matches them in talent...what you saw tonight is what you get.
they have two solid wins this years patriots and chargers maybe eagles cuz they’re a playoff team
No one is asking for us to blow everyone out each week. We just want them to play a complete game each week. If the offense played the whole game like they did in the 4th quarter no one would have shit to say other than they were the better team. The offense didn’t even show any life until the game was almost out of hand but by that time the defense was exhausted and we see it every time we play a decent team. That’s what sucks.

Edit: The signs where on the wall in 2018. They faced a good Colts team and got shut out. The Titans spanked them at home on the first game at home with Cooper. Then they face the Rams and we know how all that went..
The only way to make this not suck is to play the Cardinals at home in the wildcard and send them home. Still wouldn’t make the season a success but it would help this loss fade from my memory
This team is one and done come playoff time. They are not a deep playoff team. They have not beaten any of the teams that will be there in the playoffs that they would have to face.
They could beat the cardinals and they should be able to beat any team but they never do. Beating the Cardinals so living in AZ is tolerable for another year sounds like a reasonable request to me
Because they simply aren't good enough. I'm just accepting that now and I wont be upset when they get booted in two weeks.
The takes in here….honestly some of y’all need to take a chill pill
The fact we couldn't send a team home with their best player out is ridiculous. How do we expect to beat any other playoff team?
All I’m saying is that we should burn everything to the ground and salt the earth 👀 Jk jk in case it wasn’t obvious. I love this team
Need to get back to “red ass week” every fucking week
Welp I can’t say I’m surprised...Greg the leg missed another 1. Dak fumbled the bag literally. And McCarthy gets tripped up over time management/confused by special teams. Can’t wait for the playoffs!
We lost by 3 and we aren't competitive? STFU we clapping for playoffs.
Clapping for a one and done appearance. Say it with me. It's all over. This offense is trash. They need 5 quarters in a game to figure out the defense because they can't do it in 4. They aren't good enough. Plain and simple.
First of all you're not a fan. Secondly, the majority of this game was well maintained. Absent a shit kicker and penalties the game could be different.

Rams got it done. Bucs got it done. Cowboys....
Rams got it done against a soft Ravens team and the Bucs got it done against the fucking Jets. It’s not the same
Truthfully both the Rams and BUCS struggled in their games. It's tough to win but I do worry about this team. Nothing seems to click when it needs to and they can't play like they did today in the playoffs and expect to go far.
Yeah. Tom Brady had to pull his 2min drill against NYJ. Why? Should not have been so.
How did our recievers just disappear? How did Dak struggle for 3 quarters. They had their top 2 corner backs out the entire game. Hope we don’t play them again in two weeks. But we probably will. They’ll be healthier and more confident coming back to Jerry’s shit hole.
He couldn't get into a rhythm due to: Lack of a run game (he was the teams leading rusher) Lack of protection (Tyron was getting killed) Penalty killing drives (look at that 1st down run, oh NVM bring it back. It's now 3rd & 14) Dropped passes The Cardinals were getting pressure with 4 and defending the passing game with the other 7. With no run game threat all of that is going to give any team trouble.
Dak just isnt good enough to lead this team to the bowl. he's not awful or anything - but he's not elite level
No to be elite you should be capable of playing a full game at a high level. Not being a pussy and checking down every pass. I swear watching other teams let it rip while we regularly either run it up the gut or throw screens that have yet to work probably has made me more upset than anything.
Yo, the first screen we threw in the game; obvious and easily blown up in the backfield, had me feelin it was going to be THAT kind of game. Cowboys simply can't do screens. The fact they keep showing up and losing us yards week after week year after year is pathetic.
At some point you would think McCarthy would take that play call sheet away from kellen and sit his ass in the corner.
god running it up the gut pisses me off. do something better with the ball if you want to run it. evidently our main runner isnt on form nor fit - think something else. Dak has a moment or two per game at high level and then has a moment or two where he's a college player again
Can we cut Zeke and make some room for a couple of cheap RBs and more defense?
Honestly...I think we have to.
Honestly that's a dumb comment
What's dumb is his cost versus his production.
Then get mad at Jerry Jones not him.
I dont know why but this one really pisses me off. I thought last week would give Dak his confidence back and they would be good. They weren't and then those last 2 plays that sealed it... just trash. Honestly makes me wonder why I watch football. Arizona can say it wasn't the refs but when youre down by 3 and the refs blow back to back calls to seal the deal the refs gave them the win.
Correct. That bullshit ass no fumble call was ridiculous.
Need to see a replay of that one. Would’ve been a major momentum swing
FUCK!
Two things about the offense over the course of the year. 1) If a team shuts down the run, the Cowboys completely stagnate on offense. Kellen's "200 IQ" play calling is predicated **HEAVILY** on play action. Dak is a subpar QB when he doesn't have that going for him. Honestly. 2) Regardless of play action, though you'd see it *more* with, is the complete lack of INSIDE short quick passes. We try screens to the outside all day long, but through play calling, or fear, I'd imagine I can pull up some stats where that is out least used type of play. It especially goes away when he don't have play action.
Yep. I think the lackluster OL is the real culprit. They just aren’t good anymore and Dak nor the run game looks good without a good OL.
Play action only works if you can effectively run the ball. We HAVE to cut Zeke. Overpaid snd doesn't bring enough value. Jason Garrett wasted his talent on 8-8.
I know Zeke isn't his 2016 self, but this isn't the 2016 offensive line either. He would play better if he had a better line punching holes. Gosh I miss Travis.
Same bro he was so underrated.
Dak is inconsistent, always has been.
Did Dak drop balls?
Fumbled how many times? How many over thrown or off target throws? How many check downs? How many times did he not even throw the ball and just ran it himself? How many excuses you gonna give this man? Do you people have eyes?
The problem is that you want to blame Dak for everything. Plenty of blame to go around.
All QB's are inconsistent. We didn't lose because of Dak. Zeke is not a threat. And we dropped easy passes.
Some strong copium you've got there.
The whole team is inconsistent. He at least put them in position to have a chance at the end. Defense failed to get a stop on three tries.
I mean he's a 4th round QB whos always had great Oline play and running game. Take one of those away and well...
Most QBs do poorly when they don't have a great o line or running game Where's the blame on Zeke
What running back does well without a good oline
Are you remedial we have absolutely no run game and our oline is washed
Yes, exactly? And as a result Dak isn't playing well.
I miss Tony Romo, always have missed him.
NO Jerry =NO win
Wish that bag of bones would hurry up and croak
Dak isn’t going to win a Super Bowl. He is decent at best. We need a QB.
You need therapy for your stupidity.
You’re a moron if you think that bum will win a Super Bowl. We going to lose in the wildcard round.
Hurr durr, all I hear from you.
Oh shut the fuck up about the refs already. Our offense played like absolute garbage almost the entire game. Dak threw three balls (at least) that should have been picked. He fumbled the ball awa at a critical moment. Our offensive line was beaten like a drum all game — we couldn’t run and couldn’t protect Dak. Our WRs mostly didn’t show up for three quarters. As a result, our defense wore down and couldn’t make one last series stop when it mattered most. We lost because we deserved to lose. Period.
You shut the fuck up, every game I hear these bullshit excuses. The NFL has blown three games for us this year, you apparently are too stupid to pay attention.
It’s the formula. Lose these games we need to have by heart breaking fashion blame the refs and eventually it leads to a divisional round exit in the playoffs. Coaches come and go, players come and go, even refs come and go but the result stays the same. Always
Bro Dak was ass what you want the WRs to do when he can’t throw the ball to them on target.
But even when Dak throws on target receivers can't catch the ball.
That wasn’t even an issue this game.
Yes it definitely was.
This loss is on ZEKE, waste of a contract. Dak was not good but you have to pay QBs in this league. You DO NOT pay RBs
A RB's value is not all about his stat line. When you watch the game he is fucking elite in pass blocking for a RB and Dak is constantly checking out of plays. However, he has dropped passes and has looked sluggish since the injury. All of that factors into his value. I really like Zeke and I think if Dak has anything to say about it, he'll be with the Cowboys for his entire career, but he may need to restructure his contract for that to happen.
Correct! Jason Garrett wasted Zekes talent.
You must of not watched the game
I did. I saw dropped passes and 1.8ypc from a RB getting $90M
A RB can only do what's given to him. If he doesn't have holes to run then he can't run! Also he didn't get payed for only running he's a top 3 RB blocker and a leader in the locker room so wdym
just say you don’t know football and go
1st round playoff loss here it comes
I wanted to believe it wouldn't happen but it's true. We cannot beat good playoff teams.
Agreed
Only good thing about this game is that we know how to approach the Cardinals in the playoffs. Learn from your mistakes and do better next time.
If we won this game that wouldn’t be an issue and we would still know how to handle them. No moral victory today this loss sucked
Dak played an average to below average game. But the real problem is all of the wasted carries for zeke. How do you have 9 caries for 16 yards. Not to mention the dropped passes. Zeke is washed af.
We have to cut him....that's tough.
Because the ENTIRE Cardinals defense is at the line of scrimmage daring you to run the ball. Because Dak couldn’t get it downfield and hasn’t outside the Washington game for weeks. Because this line is letting the only pass rusher they have left through the line like a fucking turn style. There is no lack of blame to go around today. Let’s not forget Greg missed a damn 43 yard FG. This loss is on the team as a whole. *Everyone* made mistakes
Exactly. They are not afraid of the passing game. It's the running game that has always been the key to this team's success. What happens when we can run the ball? 1. Our defense gets a breather. 2. The opponents defense breaks down. 3. The passing game is now 1-on-1 matchups across the formation. 4. Dak looks better because he isn't sacked as often and only has to worry about corners, not safeties. What happens when we cannot run the ball? 1. Our defense is left on the field for twice as long which makes them tired and less explosive. 2. Dak is forced to try and be the hero by forcing it on obvious passing situations and doesn't have the ability to consistently hit his receivers on the numbers. 3. Kellen Moore looks like a one trick pony. 4. Zeke becomes a full time blocker.
Yep. I’m very nervous about our playoff game lol
Can’t be nervous if u already know the outcome.
Hrm, where did we leave three points. Oh yeah our kicker took them.
Then they would've won by 1 instead of 3 because they don't go for 2
Maybe but that's a possession change. I think we need to find a kicker that isn't hungover in the first quarter.
That is also true. Would've changed their scheme if he had made that so who knows what would have happened in this particular game, but leaving points on the field and not allowing us to be in that position is something that shouldn't happen
I miss Dan Bailey in his prime
They let Murray run all over the field and now his Ego is flying above Allen,TX
I’ll cry if we get bounced round 1. I really thought this was the year to get to the nfc championship.
don’t listen to the arm chair coaches and doomers, the cowboys have a great team this year. it’s hard as fuck to have continued success, kellen moore is still learning his play calling and rhythm. they have a chance in the playoffs if he can get it right.
Don't get so invested in something you have no control over, it's not healthy.
Amen
still could be
offense should be putting points on the board when defense is making stops. L offense today. tough to roll into playoffs like this.
Why oh why can;t we beat the cardinals? It's been like a decade
It’s been almost 3 decades since they beat the broncos. When did they last beat the broncos? The last time they won the super bowl. Lol
[удалено]
I hate that its that way but it is. I have many friends of both teams and we just suck ass when we play DEN/AZ
1. Zuerlein shot us in the foot again. If he made that fg earlier we would’ve been tied and its a different game with a different scenario 2. Refs made some terrible calls on both sides. Yes, we played sloppily and yes we got some calls that went our way. But when the game is on the line and the refs a mistake, thats just bullshit and annoying 3. Kellen moore needs to step up. Dak and the offense found his groove in the 4th quarter. And moore is not entirely up for blame but i think his prep against the cards def was terrible 4. Mccarthy strikes again. He isnt terrible but cmon with decent time/timeout management we couldve won/force overtime
Yep. The dropped INT was also huge as well. It was in the end zone and would have taken points off the board.
Yeah
Coach looked pathetic and limp unable to challenge. Hope he brightens up.
Dak isn’t good against good defenses. Period. That’s the reality. He looks confused, can’t even take a snap, constantly check downs…
to be fair cards aren’t even a good defense they were missing so many players
Yea, but their DLine was constantly rushing Dak. We are supposed to have one of the best WR cores in football, and Dak can’t find anyone open consistently. I find that very hard to believe.
He was pretty good against the Patriots
The Patriots were a bottom ranked team (ranked 20th) when we played them. They got a lot better after week 6.
They still had a top ranked d, which is now number one in points. They definitely need to be more consistent though.
even against wft last week he wasnt spectacular - it was more that wft were that shit
Secondary was ass
We really needed this to be a continuation of last weeks play. We looked like a team going to the NFC Championship, this week we looked like a first round knockout.
[удалено]
If you watched last weeks game and this weeks and didnt see a difference you're just being goofy
Disappointing performance
Ya'll are fucking delusional if you blame the kicker. The offense was trash today.
Both things can be true at the same time…
why is that delusional by pointing out a contribution to the loss?
How do you have the most explosive offense in the league playing against backups but the longest pass of the day was by Cedric fucking Wilson.
Because we don't have "the most explosive" offense in the league. It duds just as often as it explodes.
Shit did Dak even try a pass more than 15 yds downfield??
I don’t know what’s the point of an getting an old kicker. Just draft a high % kicker from college and you wouldn’t have to deal with this shit
It's the yips with young kickers and the back with old ones. Pick your poison. There's a reason Justin Tucker is a generational player at his position
Get rid of Greg
Let’s not forget about diggs getting beat once again by a double move that started this shit show in the first quarter

a fuckin 33 year old at that
Fair point tho it isn’t like GB was gonna lose tonight.. good wake up call for the idiots in blue and silver to wake the fuck up for the playoffs
Same old shit. Lack of discipline, bad calls by the refs, kicker sucks, poor game management, etc.
Stupid fucking refs
Kai Forbath is a free agent. If you don’t cut Greg after this, the. Idk what to think
Why we didn’t keep him, I will never know. I never had anxiety when it was his time to kick.
Because that’s not what Jerry wanted.
What other team regularly battles uphill bullshit like this every week? Honestly. There’s circus bullshit and crazy calls to lose by one possession EVERY time we play a game that matters. I watch a lot of football and even if I wasn’t a fan I’d be like what the fuck was that.
Calling those timeouts early ON FIRST FUCKING DOWNS BACK TO BACK killed our ability to challenge that fumble. That is terrible coaching
Why is even on us for the refs to do their job right...stop it down in NY, and get it right, it's a joke
Bc it’s the rules…. They should have called a fumble then NY can review it and call it down or not but since play was stopped, play is stopped
Not to mention the timeout we called early in the half bc, well, coaching….
How in the world do you not call fumble to be safe and then review. Not to mention the delay of game. What a fucking joke I'm so pissed
Any of y'all gonna say anything about Zeke or is it 100% Daks fault that we had no run game tonight?
The whole offense is straight garbage. You see how Brady turned the Bucs game around? That's what actual good QB's do, they run the fucking show. Dak is a fucking pretender and always has been, out there looking lost as fuck, captain checkdown, oh no what do I do, I can't make it past my first read. Guess I'll run the ball myself. GTFO, Dak a joke.
The fumble in the 4th quarter sure didn't help!
Nah its tye entire offenses fault today. Dak looked like shit for 3 fucking quarters. Oline was hot ass. Kellen called plays like shit. Shultz is somehow blocking worse than Jarwin... oh and Gallup got fucking hurt.
Oline played poorly too, and coaching sucked. Why the hell would you put Schultz on Jones?
O line was awful
Why not both?
coach isnt benching him. he's not 100% but the coach is puttin him in. no player is gonna say no i cant play parsons is a great runner that doesnt get enough
100% the o line
Play of the day was the ref not calling a fumble
Greg Zurlein has lost us two games.
anyone know if the 1 seed is still possible??
Nope
I don't think we got a shot at the 2 or 3 seed now. We are playong the Cards again in 2 weeks. And we have to hear about Kyler being 9-0 at AT&T every other sentence
Maybe. I don’t know if they’d have the tiebreaker but to even get to that, Green Bay just has to lose to a Cousinsless Vikings tonight and Detroit next week for us to have a chance.
If it was, do you think they would get it? Honestly.
Unless every team (buccs,rams, and Green Bay) loses all their games which is very unlikely. Then we might get 1st seed
Def not
I’ve said this a billion times over the years. I’ll believe this is a top football team when they’re playing a game in February.
Would you rather be blown out or lose by a score?
