[Bipo]

Why the fuck are they blathering on about reporting when it was a penalty even if he did?

 

[Clff15701]

And the postgame is trying to prove that Decker did report as eligible. Too bad. So sad.

Anyone else think the refs don’t control the outcome? There would have been another call they could have made. With the way holding is called they can call whatever they want.

 

[dpf1123]

Wasn't he uncovered even if he did report?

Yeah, I won't be surprised if ESPN files a complaint with the league office.

[NoDak]

We should have blown them out. CeeDee fumbling, Dak's pick, the fake punt. And throwing on the last drive to give them enough time to even get down there.

Eh. Picks and fumbles happen. And other than that, both guys had pretty damn good games.

Coaching is what fucked us tonight. In all three phases.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

What am I missing on that... if he's covered up he can't catch a pass. Right?

On the replay it looked like the WR may have been on the LOS and covering him... maybe that's what they were trying to say?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Posted as I was typing... but how can Bob tell from that? If anything, that graphic makes it look like he is on the line.

 

[Cotton]

We beat a really good team after turning the ball over twice. I'm not happy with the defensive scheme but that was a damn good way to pull out a win.

Dak was phenomenal. Lamb was unreal. Just be happy we pulled one out we may have pulled out in the past.

 

[UncleMilti]

McCarthy & Quinn deserved to be shit on for those final 2 minutes.

That was coaching malpractice by both of them.

Yes they do-more so McCarthy. For all the praise, the fat fuck has no clock management skills. The game would have easily been over had Dak not tried to throw 40 yards into the end zone. Stupidity again, because it’s happened before during this season.

Yeah. I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised if the league office comes in and takes the win away. I'm kidding. Mostly.

Fumbling through the endzone is just so killer though. Ceedee was awesome. But it's like of the ball goes out of bounds, no harm. Hell even if the other team recovers it, fine they are at the 1 yard line. But when you fumble just inside the pylon it's such a killer. You lose the ball and the other team gets the ball out. Again, no hate on Ceedee but that's the type of fumble that is really killer.

[NoDak]

This Oline seems to be getting worse by the week. They've struggled run blocking all year, but I put part of that on Pollard. He seems tentative, taking some unneeded stutter steps before he hits the hole. But their pass blocking has been solid. (aside from Steele 90% of the time)

But these last few weeks? Oof. The pass blocking has been shit all across the line. People can say Dak has been playing bad all they want. But he has been under some serious duress these last few weeks.

We need a talent infusion there, and we absolutely need to fire Solari's ass the minute the season is over.

I'm even ok throwing it, but that was an awful play call. Give yourself a nice short play to Lamb, Cooks or Ferg. High percentage throws. Maybe you get the first and it's game over. Maybe you just get enough yards to make third down more reasonable.

Right. But it's not like you can decide when and where to fumble. It's just shit luck that it happened right there, and took the bounce it did. The defender made a nice hit on the ball. It happens.

That touchback rule is total horseshit.

 

[UncleMilti]

He did sound overjoyed when they scored.

Like he had a big bet on the game or something...

I don’t know who is worse Buck or fucking Olson.
