I don't remember seeing Fowler, Williams or Barr at all.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Barr is 42 now. (I had to look up who that was.) I meant to mention during the game that he was out there plenty but never did a thing. He might be too slow to play anymore. Sam didn't play until it was long over iirc.

Well shouldn’t that tell ya something

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Looking at that chart, they should've gotten Bland some snaps, at least when the game was out of reach.

Which obviously was at 6-3.

 

[Texas Ace]

While it's not at all surprising, it is a bit comical to see just how quickly the organization's gross negligence came back to bite them in the ass.

I hope some of our games get flexed out of primetime!

Just means next year we will have a lot more 12 o'clock games.

He doesnt need anything that affects accuracy.

This played out almost too perfectly. Didn't Jerry repeatedly say, because of Dak's deal, Dak has to elevate the players around him. Well shit, none of that happened. Dak sucked. The players around him sucked. The coaching sucked. Jerry sucks. They got rid of players they didn't have to before the season. What the fuck is going on inside their heads?

This seems like a redneck mob setup. Let the team fail. I personally thinks he wants that so he can hire Sean Payton. But maybe he wants Dan Quinn. Either way, there is no plan. He is literally throwing shit against the wall, and NOTHING is sticking. Some other user commented earlier that the team is rudderless. That is correct. It's an embarrassment.

I think McCarthy is gone. I think Dak is gone. I think we're on the edge of starting completely over. And maybe that's a good thing. But the Jones sure as hell don't have a plan for it. It's just gonna happen as a result of chaos disguised as philosopy.

Dak simply can't be that QB. He can't elevate players, among other things. Never could.

 

[Cotton]

Welp, our season is over. Might as well start thinking about next year. Motherfucker.

 

[Foobio]

Sean Payton can’t fix this team.

 

[Foobio]

I will enjoy watching it burn

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Sean Payton can’t fix this team.

He can't with Dak playing like that.

I'll say it again, I hate that the injury removes basically all scrutiny of Dak's performance last night. How was he that bad? He's not elite, but he's not that awful either. Now, no one will even ask the question.

Dak was a problem but the poor offensive design and sloppy play is systemic.

Two trick plays on the first drive and a completely bungled WR screen that helped torpedo a promising drive?

Especially compared to the Bucs popping a WR screen on more or less the exact same play for 25-30 yards on their very first play?

The problems on offense going back to the second half of last year are top to bottom:

• Spotty QB play (terrible last night)
• Poorly coached/disjointed/undisciplined OL
• Lack of systemic creativity overall but particularly in the running game
• An inability to creatively incorporate Pollard

The only difference between last night and last year is that our WR's are now significantly worse than they were, while Elliott is healthy and looking solid.

Other than that it's the same exact shit for the most part.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Trust me, I detest Kellen Moore's Garrett stank and the FO insistence on keeping it. I admit I got triggered the other day when I heard Cosell calling a CeeDee route a Coryell "Bang 8" when we have a classic WCO head coach. So dysfunctional.

But Dak was the main problem last night. Awful. It's like he lost all his confidence or something. And he was so good against this same team a year ago.

Yeah, Dak is regressing because he has had to deal with seven years of coaching. He has shown the potential to be elite but it's going to fall by the wayside unless someone like Payton can come in next year and design an offense that accentuates his strengths and helps him rebuild his confidence.

Dak's got some time to learn the playback by the time playoffs roll around.

Remember "meritocracy" when gold Rush leads us to #1 seed.

according to All-Pro linebacker Devin White, the Bucs defense played well not only because they executed, but also because they weren't fooled by anything the Cowboys tried to do.
"I think it was just great preparation," said White following the 19-3 victory at AT&T Stadium. "This time going into the game already having film against them against us and knowing how they like to attack us. So I think we were able to put together a better game plan than last year. … Last year we learned they really weren't going to commit to the run game and the runs they did, they were going to try to get outside and not run into the interior.
"But most of the [passing] game was quick-game - a lot of curls, a lot of hitches, a lot of slants. We kind of knew that going in so we were able to attack it."
