Week 15 Game Day Chatter | Cowboys at Raiders | 12-17-2017

Ugh.

Yet another terrible throw by Dak.

That damn Dak was terrible yesterday, I tell ya.

Interesting. So, Jones did this on his own?

I'd be shocked if Garrett actually called that, especially at that point in the game and that field position. More like they practice for certain looks and give the punter leeway to make the decision. But you'd think they'd give him some parameters like field position or talk to him before each punt to let him know if he is authorized to make that decision at that time. Huge play though, thwarted Raiders momentum and led to a TD.

I knew it. I was calling this when it happened. This coaching staff doesn't have the balls to pull something like that.

Most people, apparently besides Chris Collinsworth, knows it's situational and not always called from the sidelines.

This team badly need to dump Williams. Our offense really need to diversify and get a speedy #2. With Bryant, Witten, Beasley and emphasis on running game, we automatically shorten our own field

The tweet below your post perfectly illustrates your point.

Some of you people will never be happy, I swear to god. All teams sneak by with wins. We absolutely outplayed the Raiders last night. Sure we had a couple of lucky bounces go our way, but so did they. Dak did not play like shit no matter how many paragraphs you write about him. He played well enough to win. At least one of those INTs was one of their lucky bounces.

We won. Just let yourself be happy for 1 damn day. Reading this thread you would think we sucked monkey nuts last night. Good lord.

Yeah I don’t understand the mentality that wants their team to lose toward an academic thought that they will have a better chance of getting better way down the road. That’s a pie in the sky approach coupled with a Super Bowl or bust mentality. It will keep you frustrated.

Man, watch Morris get blindsided at the end of that.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do even better. But this team has a lot of talent compared to the average NFL team and it's a result of drafting.

Drafting since 2010 has been much better, especially in the first round. Even though Byron Jones isn't panning out now he was legitimately projected as a late first that year. Taco was by all accounts a consensus late first rounder and I still have hopes for him even though he's off to a slow start. That leaves Mo who I never liked the idea of using our 1st and 2nd rounders to move up to get even though he was a consensus top 10 pick.

Primary problem is gambling on 2nd rounders trying to get cute instead of drafting solid safe players. Also for years we got nothing in the 4th-7th rounds.

But the last 2 years we have done much better all around and hopefully that will continue. Someone in the draft room in the 2nd round just needs to mention Demarcus Lawrence and Randy Gregory to Jerry every year and maybe that'll knock some sense into him.

 

[GShock]

Good lord.

 

[GShock]

And, to be fair, a TD and the longest-yardage PI in the league this year.

Growing pains.

Watch how bad Taco is held on this play.
