Yeah. Number 1 run defense loading the box? Take the easy completion.

 

[Smitty]

Will we still be ok with it if Prescott has a bad day and makes bad decisions of which runs to check out of?

We just gonna talk hypotheticals all day or shit that has actually happened?

 

[Smitty]

Well I remember Romo getting shit for it when it didn't work out so well.

It's funny to see how reactions are different.

Ive always been against trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Didnt have an issue with the run/pass ratio in that game.

There was a long history of them abandoning the run even when it was working and/or they had leads, that past criticism wasn't just compartmentalized to the outcome of a game here or there, it was a reoccurring trend that spanned years.

During the broadcast did they address why Lavante David wasn't flagged for taking his helmet off or did they just pretend it didn't happen?

I wondered the exact same thing and even thought that maybe it wasn't a penalty anymore and I just missed it.

Um you do see the difference right "didn't work out so well".

The key is kind of making the right decision. Dak did in this case. I'm sure he will be judged very harshly if he doesn't. People have always been very critical of Dak. You especially. But then again your "Wentz is better" didn't age so well.

Wentz was better until he couldn't stay healthy.

 

[boozeman]

Funny how he avoids the Special Teams elephant in the room.

The game was a toss-up and about as evenly played as you'll get, shit happens.

You can play the counting game all you want (i.e. if we scored a TD here or made that FG there) but you never know how that impacts the rest of the game from that point forward. Even with all the twists and turns the game basically came down to Brown not forcing Gronk inside to stay inbounds with about 45 seconds left and a 50/50 no-call on Godwin going their way.

Red zone production has to improve but relatively speaking that's far down the list of things to fix, although I understand if that's the focus given that most of our talent is on offense.

Dear Fassel,
Yer a dipshit of the 1st order.

If you want to push the pocket to keep QB's from stepping into throws you need actual starting caliber DT's.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Wentz was better until he couldn't stay healthy.

Wentz was better than Dak in 2017, but Dak wasn't that good that season. Wentz had coaching that made him look better than he was.
