Cowboys at Cardinals: In-Game Discussion/Tilting

[Mike FF Today 607]

Apologies guys. There was an issue with the original game thread so I've created a new one.

 

Inactives:

 

Cowboys: QB Cooper Rush, RB Darren McFadden, CB Nolan Carroll, CB Chidobe Awuzie, LB Anthony Hitchens, OL Jonathan Cooper, DL Charles Tapper

 

Cardinals: QB Blaine Gabbert, WR John Brown, LB Deone Bucannon, RB D.J. Foster, T D.J. Humphries, G Mike Iupati, DL Xavier Williams

 

On the bright side, Zeke just gained 30 yards!

[tanatastic 2,061]

Cowboys line has been getting pushed around a bit. Gonna be a fight all game.

 

Edit: Whoever drew up that play where the WR lines up and takes the handoff needs to lay off the pipe.

Tyron Smith doing his Flowers imitation.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Recap: Dallas defense, sucks. Dallas offense, sucks. Dallas coaching staff, sucks.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Tyron Smith doing his Flowers imitation.

Flowers might have least got a hand on him - damn that was pathetic.

[Cruzer 1,992]

FINALLY, someone told Dak to pull it and run!! Jeebus, that's how you beat the sellout run barrage - keep doing it till they stop it.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Dak td dive was impressive af. Hoped he would be just short to give Zeke a crack at it, he just flipped on in.

LOL, I thought Jerry said he was going to fire everybody on his team who kneeled? I knew that was a total bluff.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Pretty sure he said nothing remotely like that.

[Challenger 72]

Cards has zero running, not that Cowboys is doing any better.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Demarcus Lawrence is pretty damn good - when he's not suspended for hitting a bong or hurt... Hes going to get paid like a mofo this offseason.

[mobb_deep 917]

Cards really let the momentum get away from them. They dominated early and should have been up 14-0.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Ugh. Need 9.19 more from Larry to get to 3-0 (.5 PPR).

[joeH 6]

What happened to the rest of this thread?

[wazu 14]

Woah on the smelling salts, Zeke. Sheesh.

[wazu 14]

What happened to the rest of this thread?

 

Read OP.

[joeH 6]

 

Read OP.

Thanks.

[vuduchile 1,940]

Great effort by Dez but not a TD.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,565]

Not a td but whistle was blown cause they called it a td

[Reality 2,710]

That was grown man stuff right there.

[aggiewildlife 0]

Is JJ Nelson not playing? All I need is minimal production from him tonight to win my matchup this week. Ugh.

[Cruzer 1,992]

That was grown man stuff right there.

For a wr, that was impressive. Damn he's strong.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Great effort by Dez but not a TD.

I agree.

[mobb_deep 917]

Ugh. Need 9.19 more from Larry to get to 3-0 (.5 PPR).

[Cruzer 1,992]

Whenever Dak pulls it and runs, good things happen for Dallas.. Yet this stupid ass coaching staff refuses to utilize him.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Wasn't planned, but Dak on the move - good things happen.....great job by Butler recognizing his qb needed help, great throw.

[mobb_deep 917]

Fitz. Wow!

 

ETA: Ofcourse I finally benched him for Kelvin Benj, after a couple weeks of nothing and a good KB matchup.

[Reality 2,710]

Unreal.

[vuduchile 1,940]

So now Garret has to out-stupid Arians with a challenge of his own???

 

Looks like a catch all day long.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Yep, Dak on the move = positive shiit.

[Challenger 72]

Yep, Dak on the move = positive shiit.

 

Sure, but I rather he not most of the time. I seen enough of Cam and RGIII to know what they become.

 

Russell Wilson? Sure.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Why is Zeke still in the game? What kind of coaching is this!?

[bjsteel 34]

There goes the F'ing OVER! lol What the hell is Arians thinking? How do you not kick a FG? They need 2-scores...brutal.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Hard to be the dumbest coach on the field with Jason Garrett on the other side.. Totally unacceptable and stupid move by Arians.

[tanatastic 2,061]

Larry Fitz taught a class on how to play WR tonite. Made a few hall of fame grabs. Just a stellar performance.

[Cruzer 1,992]

And to top it off, he's equally outstanding off the field.

[Cruzer 1,992]

Russell Wilson? Sure.

 

And if Dak were a cemented, lead footed pocket passer like Brady, or Bledsoe of the past - I'd agree. But that's not Dak's strength, it's not his skill set. Teams tee off and bad things happen when Dak just sits in the pocket - he's not a pocket passer. Least not a really good one.

I can understand why you say that, but the converse is that when you're down that close to the goal line, and you're faced with the idea that if you hit the field goal, you'd have to gain possession from an onside kick and THEN get all the way down the field for a TD, versus taking your chances on punching it in since you're so close and then not having to get closer than perhaps to the 40 in order to hit a GW FG.

I understand the reasoning, but I still think it's a bad move.. In addition to needing 2 scores, you're also battling a rapidly dwindling clock - with no timeouts mind you... To have any shot, Arians needed 2 scores AND enuff time to pull it off. He should have kicked it well before they even got down near the goal line, giving themselves as much time as possible in the event they got the onside kick. I think even Gruden alluded to it during the game, that he would of kicked it way before.

Dak is at his best when he throws on the run. He is crazy accurate when he does that. But let's face it. If Johnson would have playing tonight, The Cards would have beaten the Cowboys most likely because I think there pass defense is awful... Johnson probably would have had a field day catching passes. And I am a Cowboy fan saying that!
