2023 Season | Week 4 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Patriots @ Cowboys | 10/1/2023

Nope. See above. Different kinds of players.

Time stamped again.

 

[fortsbest]

82% completion, 0 turnovers, 261 yds passing, 1 TD in a conservative offense day.

Not bad for a shitty QB.

Let's see how next week goes. I pray it goes well.

How did you like last week? Specially the pick in the end zone?

 

[kidd]

Perhaps I’m wrong but that team Moose played for had so much talent that there just weren’t enough plays to go around for Moose to shine more.

So Luepke could be more of a Moose player but with more opportunities to shine if the coaching staff will draw up plays for him.

That pick was a desperation throw that really shouldn’t count for much.

If the refs leave the flag on the ground instead of picking it up on the blatant PI, then that picknever happens.

But did Jerry look at the X-rays??

He had a decent game. The pick sucked, but they happen.

And I think you're more interested in being proven right, than "praying it goes well" We won't see any posts from you unless it's to complain about Dak. And if he does have a bad game? You'll wear out your keyboard.

Did you have any posts in today's game thread that wasn't directly aimed at your disdain for Dak? If you did, I must have missed it in all your Dak hate posts. During a game he played well. In a game where we dominated. Go figure.

 

[kidd]

Just an observation but it looks like Gallup is working his way back into the offense slowly but surely.

Yep. Remember years ago when Romo threw the pick against the Giants in the endzone on 4th down with the game about over? Rush in his face and instead of taking the sack he heaved it up? Yeah. People focused on the INT, not the circumstances involved. Or the Broncos game where he threw 5-6 TDs and like 500+ yards, but ended the game with a pick? He FUCKING SUCKED! Now, I know these situations were not the same, but the resulting vitriol is the same.

People get so entrenched in their beliefs, they cherry pick anything they can to cling to, to prove they were "right".

It was still a really bad read and at the wrong time.

It's the exact sort of situation he's been failing in far too often in recent memory so it definitely raises some eyebrows.

Been 2 very solid games , and that’s a good thing. I’m still waiting for Cooks to have a strong game. Tolbert adding plays too, offense and STs.

The last 2 weeks have been very promising.

It would help if we actually used Cooks to his strengths.

 

[Clff15701]

Still wish we would move Lance to QB 2 for use in the RedZone. Does anyone know if it’s possible to make your QB3 active as a flex player let’s say an extra WR or TE so that you can get around the 3rd QB rule? We need something in the RedZone just not sure what.

Absolutely. It was a terrible read, not seeing that LBer. But forcing stuff when you're up against the clock will lead to shit like that. Even if he completes that for a TD, chances are we still lose that game. And us losing to the Cardinals was not Dak's fault. No matter how bad people want to think it was. That was the entire team coming out thinking the Cardinals were just going to roll over for them. From the coaching staff on down to the water boys. Everyone.

 

[NoDak]

Yeah. Why we are using him on flares and short to medium outs I don't know.

Come on, Fat Mike. Let your freak flag fly. Turn him loose. Take the top off the defense a couple times and loosen up the underneath passing game and the running game. Hell, send him deep even if you don't throw it too him. Put it firmly in their minds that we might just send it at any time.

Yeah I agree with that.

That was a loss on everybody including the coaches.

Just an absolute stinker all around.

 

[NoDak]

We need something in the RedZone just not sure what.

A more reliable running game would do wonders. Along with a healthy Oline.

Our rushing numbers overall don't look bad at all. But we are doing that with chunk plays. Too often we are stopped for no gain, or just a yard or two. Especially when we are down where the field is shrunk, putting more defenders up on the line. Aside from Leupke's TD today, when is the last time we had a run inside the ten that went more than 2-3 yards?

Not saying it wasn’t. Just saying shit like that happens when a qb is just trying to make a play where there isn’t a play.and that pick wasn’t what cost us the game

Only thing I miss about Zeke. We need someone to do the dirty work at the 10 and under.
