2021 Season | Week 13 | Gameday Chatter Thread | Cowboys @ Saints | 12/2/21

[ZeroClub]

we're gonna be in serious trouble when we play a good team at full strength

That's true.
They just need to escape with a win tonight and rest up the next 10 days. Then we hope they slowly regroup as they play the NFC East.

JMO, all things considered you have to feel pretty good about having a six point lead and getting the ball to start the second half.
Got to turn these field goals into touchdowns, though.

So nice to get the ball first in the second half for once. Feels like we have barely gotten that all year.

13-7 against a shit team like the Saints is not a good thing.

They have beaten the Bucs and Patriots.

I don’t understand why the downfield passing game is so dry. Cooper and Lamb each have two catches.

Why aren’t we getting these guys 8-9 catches a game each? They are our best players.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

To be accurate, Garrett would be 10-7 at the half.

9-7, all field goals.

They have beaten the Bucs and Patriots.

And they’ve lost 4 straight.

Cooper seems to be getting a lot of rest. Hope they are saving him for the second half. I'd like to see us use him, build more of a lead and then rest him.

Gallup is also a great deep threat. Would like to see some bombs at least attempted to loosen it up.

No, actually 10 points. On a recent Monday or Thursday night game, I actually charted Garrett's first half points and 10 came up the most frequent. I'll find that post later.

 

[Smitty]

And how come we never hit on any deep balls? Lamb is just as much a deep threat as someone like DeSean Jackson is at this stage of his career.

Lamb is on pace. Coop has the COVID.

 

[data]

9-7, all field goals.

From 2011 - 2019 (including 5 playoff games), Garrett was Head Coach for 149 games.

• #1 Most Games: 30 games with 10 points (20% of 149 games)
• #2 Most Games: 18 games with 14 points (12%)
• #3 Most Games: 17 games with 7 points (11%)
• #4 Most Games: 13 games with 6 points (9%)
• #5 Most Games: 10 games with 0, 3, 13, 17 points (7%)

Most egregiously, in 2011 & 2012 (total 32 games), we scored 10 first half points in 38% (12 games)

 

[Cotton]

And they’ve lost 4 straight.

Point is, they aren't a shit team.

Not sure the running game will get back to even decent the rest of the season

 

[Sheik]

I’m pretty impressed with Greg Olsen, he’s good at what he’s doing.

Coop has a 40+ yarder tonight.

Because our OL isn't giving Dak enough time to get off deep throws.

*9-7

Does a good team lose 4 straight games? And how many people are they missing ?

The center and left guard are not physically strong enough for their positions.
