2023 Season | Week 9 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Eagles | 11/05/23

[Texas Ace]

Fuck.... That's a bad one.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Dak doing what he does, pre-determining where he's going with the ball and not even making reads.

I usually think the "he would have scored" lines are overused and inaccurate (especially from Troy), but yes, Ferg would have scored there.

 

[kidd]

And the sad fact is the Eagles are better than us and generally have been for a long, long time.

Starting at the owner.

You can start singing “Fly Eagles Fly” anytime now.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Don't take that victory lap yet. There's still 8 more games for him to strain/pull something.

He was great yesterday, no doubt about it.

He'll probably miss another couple games so brace yourself.

I wanted to see McCarthy challenge this.

I doubt Sirianni has the balls to run that rugby play when they need a full yard and a half deep in their own territory.

Yeah, I had no idea how they missed that. I thought I had to have been seeing things wrong because I thought it was obvious he was way short of where they marked it.

They even mentioned during the broadcast that Philly got a very favorable spot.

 

[boozeman]

Steele is the new whipping boy. Tyron gets a reprieve.

 

[Bill Shatner]

And yet McCarthy never slid help over there. Weird

 

[Genghis Khan]

I feel like I need to say this but I'm often dismissive of PFF, but in this case it matches the eye test.

Regardless, as bad as it seemed live it's a little shocking to see it expressed statistically because it's just so bad.

These are Chaz Green type numbers.

 

[Irving Cowboy]

On the ineligible receiver penalty on Edoga at 6:30 of the 4th quarter where Pollard scored that called back, did anyone else notice that as Dak was walking up to get under center that he looked back at the ref and gave him the signal for Edoga and pointed at him? Then they turned around and threw the flag, and even though they eventually scored, it cost them time. Fuckers.

Someone posted the video of it a few pages ago. It reminds me of, was it last year with Tolbert or maybe the prior year with someone else (?), but one of the players asking the refs if he was offsides and supposedly the ref said no but then flagged him for offsides when they snapped it.

 

[shoop]

The screen is cut off so I'm not certain he was completely open, but unfortunate miss by Dak if so.

That said, it's a successful play regardless of it's called correctly.

In Real time this was how I saw it fro m the other angle at the snap. I could be wrong but when the play started he cut in and CD cut out and they all followed CD.

Dak talked about that at the PC... said he definitely told the ref but apparently the player himself has to check in.

Dak said Edoga told him he did report, but who knows, I guess he could be trying to cover his own ass. Either that or the officials were told, screwed up, and are covering theirs.

[UncleMilti]

And I get shit for pointing out Dak doesn’t see the field. Looks like some other people need to pay attention.

Yeah I mean he should have gone to Ferguson. It happens a lot in games. Especially when the pass rush is getting there in general. He should have gone Ferguson here, no question about it. I don't even really like the throw to Tolbert from the very beginning. The defender in my opinion was just in a coverage that made that a difficult throw from the start. You're almost sort of hoping the defender has pass interference. But with these refs, you can't count on that. Dak should have seen that quickly and moved to the next.

I wasnt kidding when I said Tyron might need to take his spot.

You’re a retard if you don’t recognize the OKness of Dak Prescott.

On the whole, he had a great game. Steele might as well have been on the sideline for the shitty protection Dak got.
