Game Day Chatter Thread | Week 1 | Giants at Cowboys | 09/08/19

overall emphasis on player safety which causes a lot of players to ease up because as they're trying to avoid tackles & hits that draw fines and penalties.

So get used to it.

Yep, just look at how long Buck cried about the Giants not getting a flag when LVE did a little shove on Eli

The offense was brilliant. It's the difference between an offense that makes a QB look good and one that the QB has to try and make look good. It was a bit pass happy but I finally felt like our offense moved into modern football instead of being stuck in the 90s.

Really hoping it continues to improve. Also hoping the defense plays better for the rest of the season.

They held old them to 10 until garbage time but the Giants moved the ball a little too easily for my taste.

They never cover running backs in the flat. That easy pass was there for Eli all day long.

Well at the game, you could tell the Giants were playing 10 in the box for much of the game. They were determined not to let Zeke beat them. Ooops

Yeah i mean when you see them going single coverage on Cooper you know it's a bad idea. It led to some big plays. Dak doesn't even have to see if he is open. Just throw it and trust Cooper is better.

Pittsburg without AB looks like shit

The defense left a lot to be desired but I think it will be different with Quinn out there. And hopefully Wilson...

So can I assume that the inexperienced kid by the name of Kellen Moore has now at the very least shown that maybe he is capable and knows something about the game of football. Glad to see some of you come around.

Kellen Moore ... ROH

He’s going to make his QB a lot of money.

He's def better than the HC we have had to train for the last 10 something years

I think it was only fair to be skeptical. No one on this staff has earned the benefit of the doubt.

In fact I'm still skeptical. I need to see him do this on a regular basis. He's had since April to prepare for this game against the Giants. Lets see what he looks like when the prep time is significantly reduced.

I'm hoping he continues to surprise me.

so minus the big 3 - who was the most impressive today? I don't think anyone aside from heath (and not that bad) had a great game

I'm with you. Kellen Moore deserves credit for today but the sample size is small. It's a big step in the right direction but we have to keep seeing it.

To me it was Gallup. For not having a TD he had a monster game. But Cobb is right there with him.

The Oline also had an awesome day but the Giants Dline sucks so I'm not sure how much of a test they were.

Well there's an agenda.

25/32

405 yards 4 TDs 0 picks

12.7 ypa

That 78% completion with that kind of ypa doesn't just happen. Especially with 32 throws. There were no fluke plays either. It was a ton of good reads and good balls. Sure the Giants' secondary may end of being terrible but you still have to make the throws and he did. Again and again.

It most definitely is agenda. Dak outperformed his boy and he is salty. Should really wait until Dak has a bad game to complain.


Every QB is not going to throw the perfect pass every time but Dak was very good today.

This, let's revisit this question after the Saints game

 

[GShock]

Steelers are quitting

 

[shoop]

Today was the first time in a long time that I saw a play where I expected a run play, saw 9-10 in the box, screamed at the television “please don’t run the ball” and they threw a pass. At the very least we were less predictable and passed more than we ran. Hopefully that isn’t just getting Zelle back up to speed.
