Cowboys at Redskins | Week 16 Gameday Chatter Thread | 12/22/13

The one play I was against about was the play where he didn't pull up his sock and barely was able to get the ball to Murray recieve run the following play. Besides that he was moving fine. He should have run the ball on 3-4 other plays in the game. Period. Season is on the line, you give it everything you have inside of you. Romo didn't do that all game. Yet, he did come through in the end, which is why I added it to my original post.

I didn't get to watch the game so let me ask what he did when he didn't run with the ball? Did he throw it away? Did he complete a pass to a reciever?

beepboop, does not compute. ERROR, ERROR

What?

Under 300 yards and 23 points while having a -2 turnover margin isn't bad at all. Their running game had moments where we couldn't stop them but Morris didn't even average 4 YPC.

So was the Dan Bailey scary FG/extra point, kick-offs a result of the field?

Mostly messing with you, but I would hope we could stop the worst team in the league - a team that has completely given up on the season and isn't even playing their best player even though he is healthy

Yes, outside of Carr's complete inability to cover Garcon the D wasn't bad. Morris didn't kill them and no other pass catcher did shit.

It's the Redskins though. You knew it would be a close game no matter what the records are. They didn't play like they completely gave up. They wanted to knock us out of the playoffs bad.

The NFL of 2013 sucks. No great teams. No Steelers of the 70's. 49ers of the 80's. Cowboys of the 90's. Pats of the 2000's? Hell, there are no Bills of the early 90's.

A couple of good teams, a couple of bad teams and a bunch of mediocre teams. Way too many average teams for my liking. It is what it is.

The thing is you can rebuild and compete faster now than ever before if you have the right owner, GM, scouting, etc. You can turn your whole franchise around in 2 years if you have everything in place, which we do not have.

 

[Simpleton]

If I had to guess I'd say at least 75% of Cowboy/Redskin games have been decided by 7 points or less over the last decade, it's cliche to say throw the records out but it's mostly true.

Scandrick on the primary WR was a huge adjustment. Maybe it's just not in Carr to be a #1 CB.

If Claiborne could get healthy, I'd move Carr to FS the rest of the season. He did that well at times last year and it gets one less POS player off the field.

Claiborne hasn't played much this year, but when he has I thought he was much better than last year. He just has to stay healthy now.

I bet we get Lee, Claiborne and Harris back this week.

We can only hope that Foles plays as poorly as last time. That would be awesome.

Foles only had a couple passes before Barkley took over before.

 

[Tony D]

Not true at all unless you call 29 passes "a couple passes". Foles wasn't hurt until the last play of the 3rd quarter and he was awful through 3. He was way off, 11-29 for 80 yards.

I would be quite happy if the 49ers lost in their final game at Candlestick. Eff them.

 

[boozeman]

All of these great moments in Candlestick history....

Not one hat tip to Alvin Harper.

 

[L.T. Fan]

That was not a good stadium to watch a game in especially back when it was doubling as a baseball stadium and they would bring in the temp seats for football.

That is my favorite play in Cowboys history and it doesn't get enough credit for being the impactful play that it was.

If the catch gets so much pub for starting a dynasty, then Harper's catch should credit for the same.

Greatest play of all time!
