Week 3 Gameday Chatter Thread | Falcons at Cowboys | 9/27/2015

It was an inaccurate throw, but it was an inaccurate to a target that was going across his body and in a tight space.

In other words, whether the pass could've been completed is besides the point. The ball just never should have been thrown there because it is too risky a throw, especially at that point in the game.

Totally unnecessary to call that play at that time.

perhaps, but no one baits the Cowboys by leaving Witten wide open. they had no way of knowing Weeden would badly overthrow that pass.

I love Witten to death, but my goodness.....I think he is literally incapable of not getting one illegal motion call a week. That penalty really hurt.

Maybe the Falcons would've stopped us anyway since they seemed to have us figured out by that point, but we were still up 11 and had the ball at their 47 yard line to start the drive.

This was a very promising situation to be in and his false start on 1st down made it 1st and 15, and my guess is that it completely changed what the coaches had in mind to do. With that distance, we played it totally safe and punted, and that was the last chance we'd ever get to mounting a scoring drive for the rest of the game.

Well yea, that guy is full of shit on this bait stuff.

The play could have been made, but it required a perfect throw from the right QB, and Weeden isn't the guy for that.

And again, it was an unnecessary to ask him to pull off a difficult play like that at that juncture of the game.

I just don't see us having enough upfront without Hardy and Gregory and Mincey. Crawford is the only good player on that Dline that can get pressure with the others out. Dlaw and Hayden are below avg starters. No time to panic we will beat the saints next week and move to 3-1 and get Hardy and Mincey back.

Randle with two middle fingers up to all of you!!!!

 

[Genghis Khan]

With the way Randle is running today, and the way Dunbar is playing in the passing game, there's not too much reason to keep McFadden active. Michael would bring a lot more to the table in the short yardage game.

We need a RB that can consistently get good yardage. That's why we need to get Michael active.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Alright, if they fuck up a 14 point lead, c'mon people.

 

[Rev]

and 3 different times.....

 

[Genghis Khan]

3 carries for 85 yards and a touchdown. What was the name of that schmuck who kept dropping the ball last year and is inactive today for some other team?

And 2 yards the rest of the game. Amazing.

 

[Genghis Khan]

and 3 different times.....

Yep. Disgusting.

 

[Genghis Khan]

We can't lose this game. Can we?

Sigh.

[Genghis Khan]

He's broke multiple tackles today and made guys miss. Just accept how wrong you were about him.

 

[Genghis Khan]

You're a fucking ass.

The blueprint is out there now with Weeden at the helm. Load the box to stop the run and dare him to try and beat you by dinking and dunking his way down the field. The dude can't seem to get a read and complete a pass ten yards beyond the LOS.

What a fricking roller coaster of a game. Look all world for 1.5 quarters then assume the fetal position. I think this solidifies one notion I had after the Eagles game. This team ain't that good, the NFCE is just that bad. Oh well, welcome to the past twenty years.

 

[DLK150]

And 2 yards the rest of the game. Amazing.

The Falcons adjusted, The Cowboys spent the rest of the game spinning their wheels. After a couple of decent wins, things are starting to smell like 8-8 again.

 

[Deuce]

So after gashing the Falcons on the ground in the first half, with an 11 point lead with your backup QB...we ran the ball 5 times in the second half.



Green Bay all over again.

 

[BipolarFuk]

Lose out for draft position or pray these dipshits can hold out until Romo gets back?

 

[Rev]

Garrett is a genius
