Pocket collapsed in a hurry

They blitzed a lot. You have to see that and have some route quick. Just stupid.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

What choice did he have?

No idea what the routes were but looked like they brought 6 guys. Someone should be running a route quick.

 

[Smitty]

It is so aggravating how the Cowboys, regardless of the coaching staff or the player changes, just cannot avoid doing dumb things things to hurt themselves in every aspect of the game.

The running game is clicking there.

Why would you call that sort of passing play on 2nd and 4?

My God we just can't play good old fashioned football.

It’s almost like the team is dumb and it’s not Super Bowl winner Mike McCarthy’s fault.

Dak killed that last drive by himself.

Never should have thrown that pass to CeeDee and you can't take sacks that knock you out of FG range.

Second game in a row he's done that.

And, that's not on Dak.

 

[Rev]

What about it? The guy has a history and it’s fair to say a propensity to disappear on the road.

That doesn’t mean he never shows up. It just means it’s a trend that he doesn’t.

I believe that was just one season. It was shown to not really be the case if I am remembering correct.

Nasir A. Adderley…Name is pronounced nah-SEER ADD-er-lee…Nickname is 'Nas'…Born in Philadelphia, Pa. …Daughter, Elaina Marie, was born Jan. 18, 2020…Cousin, Herb, was an All-Pro DB with Green Bay and Dallas, winning three Super Bowls before being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980.

(Above from Chargers' website)

Cousin? Hard to believe. Herb played for Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry.

 

[GShock]

Diggs whiffed on that tackle

Yeah, you have to at least just throw it somewhere to get rid of it. Even at a guys feet.

Actually outside of the Garrett years the numbers don't bear that out.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

So obvious that teams aren't allowed to tackle in practice anymore

 

[Genghis Khan]

You are correct.

 

[Couchcoach]

Stadium looks like a cross between a computer mouse and a printer

 

[1bigfan13]

MAtt Ryan running an RPO for the win!

Falcons cut the lead 3.

Correct.

Yup, I posted “drive ender,” as soon as Lamb was tackled. Horrific choice, you have to see that turns from second and five to third and long. Just a dumb play. Then the sack.

Oh well. We are a pretender as an elite team again. Defense can’t stop anyone who doesn’t stop themselves. Offense can’t go long enough without making dumb mistakes.

 

[Genghis Khan]

God damnit.

 

[Smitty]

Other than today you mean.

 

[Cotton]

I love how people say, "Man, the QB can't take a sack there.", when it's pretty fucking obvious he didn't have much choice, or the better choice was to take the sack versus doing something more stupid like getting a grounding penalty or worse throwing an INT. It's easy to sit in our lawnchairs and say he should have gotten rid of the ball, but it's completely different when you're contained in the pocket and have no out. It would be stupid to force it or throw into a grounding penalty.
