Week 7 Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys vs Giants | 10/25/2015

[data]

Just proves that Romo and his wondrous bag of tricks wins games in spite of our coaching/front office.

 

[dallen]

The really shitty part is the offense and defense played well enough to win for the first time since Romo went down and special teams shit the bed. Fuck this team

 

[1bigfan13]

We're officially done.

The end results was the same in that we lost but watching the offense was entertaining for a change, even with the 3 Cassel INTs. Not having to sit through an entire half of 3 and outs and check down passes was a small positive.

If there was ever a time to put Whitehead back for a return, that was it. I was thinking that right before the punt. They choose the safe route and it burned them anyway. Maybe it's time to just try to let your playmakers make plays.

I feel like we should cut Cassel and Butler to recoup our conditional draft picks, and cruise to whatever draft rank 2-14 will give us.

 

[Genghis Khan]

That "offensive PI" penalty earlier in the game was killer. Those 4 points would have allowed us to tie it up with a FG on that last drive.

True.

 

[Genghis Khan]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we should have resigned Harris instead of extending Beasley.

Feh. Harris hasn't done much this season.

The offense at least showed a little life which was nice. We dominated on the ground, made plays with our WRs. I at least saw a little promise today. Ultimately though if you turn the ball over and don't create any turnovers you will lose. That's why it sort of feels like we outplayed the Giants but still somehow lost.

It doesn't fucking matter

Can we bring Stephen McGee back?

 

[Texas Ace]

I really hate that I love football sometimes

Not me.

I just hate that I'm a Cowboys fan.....often times.

 

[1bigfan13]

Fuck. Me.

Someone tell me why that smurf is back there on returns again?

Because the coaches are idiots.

Supposedly he's back there for ball security but he's one of the worst receivers on the team when it comes to securing the football.

We're basically conceding field position on each punt by putting him back there. He rarely gets more than a few yards per return. Even when there's plenty of space to head up field he'll turn a sure 10 yard return into a 2 yard return.

He's a POS punt returner.

Makes you realize that this team relies on 30+ points to win. Without Romo, little shot in hell of that happening.

No gameplanning, no outcoaching. All on Romo.

Exactly right. I was shocked when the camera panned to Beasely waiting to field the punt.

There's about 1:20 left in the game and we need a sizable gain to put ourselves in decent position to score and you put probably the worst returner in the league in terms of avg yards per return back there to field the punt? Inexcusable.

It's an example of why we can't win games w/o Romo. When star players are out it's up to the coaches to make subtle adjustments/strategic decisions to make up for the talent loss. Garrett hasn't shown the ability to do that.

This game proved that Marinelli is a total fuckwad.

We wouldn't need 30+ points though if we didn't throw pick sixes or give up KO returns. And our defense has forced zero turnovers in 5 of 6 games. Hardy, Gregory, McClain are back and Lee is healthy and we still can't force any TO's. That would definitely help, but today we would've won if we wouldn't have handed them 14 points on returns.

 

[data]

No Demarcus Laawrence. Nothing from Randy Gregory, although limited.

Nothing from Escobust

 

[Rev]

Huh? I'm talking about the fact that they basically gave themselves one fucking drive to tie the game because they wasted so much time.

Nothing to do with the conversion.

It doesn't matter which strategy you were pulling for that could be said. Meaning of we would have hurried and he threw another interception that could be said as well.

Personally I preferred going with the methodical approach and doing what they did best rather than hurry up and ask Cassel to throw. He had several near interceptions to go with the ones he did throw. Now you want him to speed up the game and force the action? It didn't work out but I take my chances on a higher percentage of success.

Seriously. Thanks for rooting for those fucktards last week though, guys.
