Why get cute? Just hand it to Pollard and be done.

Cuz Pollard probably wouldn't have gotten in.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I don't that was getting cute. How many of us have been calling for Leupke to get goal line carries? Pollard isn't a short yardage back.

You just can't fumble there. That's on the player.

Yeah, cute is passing the ball on first and goal at the 1 and having your LT just not block their best pass rusher. That was fucking cute. Dak and Cooks saved our ass on that one.

We're arguably the second best team in the NFC, we just aren't favorites obviously.

Not so convinced we’re worthy of being considered second best . We’ll see soon enough. I’m not sure we could win in Tampa at this point, even though we’re clearly a better team . If next weeks game were in Detroit, not very confident we win that.

For as much as it was ballyhooed, I believe that's the first TD same play after an Ezekiel Elliott hurdle.

I didn't think anyone else was watching this game...

That’s probably the reason I don’t risk it there. He’s not been getting many carries, then suddenly a bunch of carries. Huh?

 

[kidd]

I disagree. I think we win next week. Maybe by a lot.

Dunno about winning by a lot but I think we win out the rest of the season.

If he's on the roster and active, you have to expect him not to fumble on a simple handoff.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I still don't think he ever got the ball. Not sure if that's on Dak or him, but it looked to me like Dak put it too high on him.

 

[NoDak]

Why get cute? Just hand it to Pollard and be done.

Yes. Because Pollard has shown to be so reliable between the tackles in short yardage.

That Fumble belongs more to Dak. He was way too high with that handoff. It needs to go in the RBs belly, not up around their shoulder pads.

In a playoff game between us/Philly/Detroit I think anything can happen since there isn't a whole lot separating the teams, but at the end of the day we're likely going into the playoffs having beaten the Lions and Eagles soundly at home with a very narrow loss at Philly.

Characterize that how you will but I think we're at least arguably the second best team in the conference.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Couple of great catches by the Pats WRs. That one from Douglas earlier was really good, too.

I have to say, I hate to complain about Quinn because he's done such a good job here, but watching the Pats defense (which isn't great this year) it's kind of nice to see you can be big and strong up front and still get pressure.

Nice TD throw from Zappe.

I wonder what the line is for the Detroit game . What’s Vegas’ confidence level in this team on a 2 game skid .

 

[data]

wow. TD on the kickoff fumble

 

[Chocolate Lab]

LOL @ Sean Payton

 

[Simpleton]

We're favored by about 5-6, I think it'll end up hovering around 6.5/7.

I wonder what the kick returner does this time

[Bipo]

I haven't read most of the thread but even if it was said a thousand times, it's bears repeating.

That fumble from Leupke at the goal line on the first drive was enormous, and obviously changes everything.

Yep, it looks like they were finally giving him a chance and he fucked it up.
