2024 Season | Week 5 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Steelers | 10/6/2024

With a dumb fuck back like Dowdle, why would we need Jeanty?

That fuckhead nearly cost us the game.

Just look at that play. Martin is pulling right and Lüepke is drifting to lead block,

That dumb fuck cuts inside right towards Elandon Roberts and takes the hit.

That's my biggest problem with Dowdle, his vision is just seriously lacking.

 

[boozeman]

I'm really disappointed in his offensive playcalling this season, but as the HC it's his job to prep the team throughout the week and he found a way to win a game despite significant injuries yet again.

Even if the team was healthy, it is not like this game would have been a lot different.

Why the fuck isn’t Elliott in for that carry?

It was yet another dumb decision by McCarthy. Short yardage and pass protection are literally the only things Zeke's still good at. It was reckless not to have him on the field in that situation.

 

[ravidubey]

Man. Crazy game. Seems like we never win games like that. I'll take it.

I agree completely

It doesn’t matter that we’re on top of the NFL’s dung heap.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Has his power impressed you this year?

 

[boozeman]

The fact that Elliott is not the guy on that play really shows what a waste of a roster spot he is.

 

[boozeman]

I agree. It was a cunt bag move that’ll warrant a fine, but I’d suspend his ass for a game for that crap.

I am certain that stand up guy Tomlin will bench him for that.

 

[boozeman]

On that play where Tolbert was hurt, I think the ball just caught him in the nuts. Is that what you guys saw?

It seemed like he was favoring his sack.

 

[ravidubey]

I will say, it was a clutch drive by Dak there. And actually saved the game by recovering the fumble by Dowdle.

I wish he hadn’t made so many mistakes in getting us to that point, but all that matters is he won the game.

 

[Sheik]

Has anyone checked on Snoop Dogg?

 

[Cowboysrock55]

On that play where Tolbert was hurt, I think the ball just caught him in the nuts. Is that what you guys saw?

I would guess so as well. That or he fell on the ball and it knocked the wind out of him.

 

[ravidubey]

Goodnight

Great win

 

[NoDak]

Giving the ball to Dowdle when inside the one was stupid. And to hell with Zeke, too. They should have given it to Leupke on a dive when they were inside the one. GuaranF'nteed he scores.

 

[NoDak]

I am certain that stand up guy Tomlin will bench him for that.

Pfft. At worst, he'll sit him for the first play, not 'starting' him.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

That was my thought as well. But then I had some visions of that fumble last year.

I probably would have just gone tush push. 1/2 a yard with 2 plays to get it.

 

[Smitty]

Has his power impressed you this year?

More than Dowdle’s.

 

[Texas Ace]

Has his power impressed you this year?

I still trust him there 100X more than Dowdle.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

I still trust him there 100X more than Dowdle.

I don't really trust either to be real honest. I also hate the fucking jumping at the goal line. Just hit it quick and lower your fucking shoulder.

I think we were trying to set up the jump though by diving at everyone's legs. The Steelers just had the perfect solution.

 

[Texas Ace]

Absolutely.

That's what I wanted to see.

I don't get why we're insisting on giving 90% of the RB touches to just two those guys, especially when neither has been productive.

 

[NoDak]

I probably would have just gone tush push. 1/2 a yard with 2 plays to get it.

QB sneak.

Don't ever call it that again.

Ever.

 

[Texas Ace]

I don't really trust either to be real honest. I also hate the fucking jumping at the goal line. Just hit it quick and lower your fucking shoulder.

I wanted to see a QB sneak or FB draw to Leupke.

What I didn't want to see was a carry by Rico.
