Dallas just does not play to win...

[RougeDawg]

They have 4 times as many yards and only up 3-0. When they get inside the 30 their play calling goes to shit. It?s like the OC goes into prevent turnover mode and plays for FG. Then Dak throws his first INT in 165 passes. Add in a few holding calls in red zone and they are dominating a 3-0 game. If jerry doesn?t make an OC change this offseason, he?s truly stupid.

[RocketDawg]

You gotta admit that 62-yard field goal was pretty impressive.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Gosh Linehan has always been a mediocre play caller at best.... but this effort today is almost High Schoolish..

[Commercecomet24]

Garrett plays not to lose. I hate the passive non aggressive play calling. It's pathetic. They'll never win anything as long as Garrett is there. Go get josh McDaniel!

[KnightHawk]

The Cowboys' philosophy reminds me a lot of the Hawkeyes' approach.

[ShotgunDawg]

I would argue that the Cowboys absolutely play to win and to their strengths.

I think they could win a game in the 30s if they had but their defense is unreal in an era where offenses don't know how to deal with great defenses.

They minimize risk and that's the correct formula with THIS team. Gene Stallings approach

If they get better in the red zone, they could win the Super Bowl.

Dak is a good player, but his greatest asset is that he always plays and rarely gets hurt. With Romo, the style that Dallas had to use to win games was always changing due to his injuries. With Dak, they have a realible formula

[KOdawg1]

Terrible throw by Dak. Just let them in the game

[maroonmania]

Terrible throw by Dak. Just let them in the game

Dak with 2 INTs today and that last one was inexcusable.

[VandelayIndustries]

Can't happen Dak

[msstate7]

Dak with 2 INTs today and that last one was inexcusable.

Add a fumble.

[KOdawg1]

Dak with 2 INTs today and that last one was inexcusable.

And now a fumble. Dak's gonna find himself benched if he keeps this up

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak playing the worst game of his career today.

[maroonmania]

Dak trying to personally give this game away.

[klong-dog]

Not good.

[ShotgunDawg]

And now a fumble. Dak's gonna find himself benched if he keeps this up

No he's not. Who would they put in?

[bluelightstar]

Love Dak, but this game is all on him.

[ShotgunDawg]

Love Dak, but this game is all on him.

He hasn't played well, but you're about to see what makes him special & why he's a franchise QB.

It won't get to him & he'll make a play that wins the game

[maroonmania]

Dallas is outplaying Philly so bad today that they could live with the turnovers if they could punch a ball in for a TD. But they can't.

[RougeDawg]

They play conservative when they get inside the 30.

[Dawgology]

2 int’s and A fumble by Dak. Not good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Here's what is funny though, Wentz has played just as bad & yet gets no criticism, 1. because of where he was drafted, & 2. because he doesn't play for Dallas

[msstate7]

Dak has 19 TOs (12 fumbles, 7 int) this season

[RougeDawg]

Officiating has been bad both ways.

[bluelightstar]

Another of Dallas's issues is untimely penalties. I've never seen a team that can always manage to get called for holding at the worst times.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Gregory coming up big again...for the other team

[Commercecomet24]

Dak has 19 TOs (12 fumbles, 7 int) this season

12 fumbles but he's only lost 6, so it's 13 turnovers not 19

[ShotgunDawg]

Gregory coming up big again...for the other team

He does a lot well as well. It's worth is bad plays for his good ones

[ShotgunDawg]

There goes Wentz again. Nobody complain about him.

He's played as bad if not worse than Dak.

[Commercecomet24]

Most wins by a QB since 2016, Brady number 1 at 32, Daks number 2 at 29. He'll win this game even though he's played poorly

[msstate7]

12 fumbles but he's only lost 6, so it's 13 turnovers not 19

Correct. Looked at wrong column

[Commercecomet24]

Correct. Looked at wrong column

Lol it's still not good but not as bad as aikman says.

[ShotgunDawg]

I can't believe they just made that call in this game.

That is unreal. Make that call in a blow out to make a point

[maroonmania]

If that's a penalty then that is crap.

[Statecoachingblows**]

If that's a penalty then that is crap.

Agreed...WTF

[RougeDawg]

I?ll repeat. The officiating has been bad all around in this one. They are unnecessarily impacting the outcome.

[maroonmania]

I can't believe they just made that call in this game.

That is unreal. Make that call in a blow out to make a point

Both players lowered their helmets at the same time. Why is that on Zeke any more than it would be the defender if its a penalty on anyone at all?

[KOdawg1]

Zeke just got flagged for trucking the 17 out of someone. Terrible

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Dallas is digging deep into the rule book to find penalties to commit.

[Quaoarsking]

If the Cowboys win today, they'll move to 30-15 since Dak became a starter, the best record in the NFC and 4th best in the NFL.

But everybody who doesn't like the Cowboys hates them, so Dak is under a microscope that other QBs aren't and gets way too much grief.

[ShotgunDawg]

He hasn't played well, but you're about to see what makes him special & why he's a franchise QB.

It won't get to him & he'll make a play that wins the game

Told ya

[Statecoachingblows**]

Beautiful throw there

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Money

[Commercecomet24]

Dak second to Brady in wins since 2016 and top 3 in 4th quarter comeback wins and game winning drives. He's special and he's a winner even if it's not always pretty

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak second to Brady in wins since 2016 and top 3 in 4th quarter comeback wins and game winning drives. He's special and he's a winner even if it's not always pretty

He special. He is incredibly good & playing one play at a time & never panicking. He's a franchise QB

[Commercecomet24]

He special. He is incredibly good & playing one play at a time & never panicking. He's a franchise QB

Agreed. He's a winner! Playing QB is like being a closer you gotta have a short memory and take one play at a time.

[maroonmania]

Dak overthrows a LOT.

[ShotgunDawg]

Was Troy Aikman a perfect QB?

He is such an asshold to Dak every Sunday

I think it's the same thing that Bo Bounds does though. Doesn't want to sound biased so goes completely over the top the other way

[bluelightstar]

Dak will throw a dime and then throw one of the worst deep balls I've ever seen.

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak overthrows a LOT.

Every QB in the league over throws those all the time. The Eagles DB grabbed Gallup & that threw off the timing

[maroonmania]

Philly gained 30 yards in that change of possession.

[Commercecomet24]

Was Troy Aikman a perfect QB?

He is such an asshold to Dak every Sunday

I think it's the same thing that Bo Bounds does though. Doesn't want to sound biased so goes completely over the top the other way

You are correct. He goes overboard with it. That and him and romo were big buddies

[ShotgunDawg]

FWIW, Dak is 31-40 for 287 yards

[ShotgunDawg]

Good thing the Eagles missed that extra point earlier

[Statecoachingblows**]

Guess we will see what he's got coming up

[KOdawg1]

Alright Dak. Make up for everything bad that's happened today by marching down the field and winning this game.

[maroonmania]

Dallas can't run the ball when they need to. The loss of 4 on 1st down with Zeke set everything in motion for the Eagles to get the great field position. Of course Cooper not catching the pass hurt as well on 2nd down.

[ShotgunDawg]

17 all ya'll. Dak is a sombitch

[Commercecomet24]

Dak is special!

[maroonmania]

Well he didn't overthrow that one! Cooper has been a huge pickup.

[Commercecomet24]

And Dak still couldn't step into that throw and it was perfect!

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak 31-42 now for 361 yards.

Terrible game*

[KOdawg1]

Dak has some beachball sized nuts dude

[KOdawg1]

Dak 31-42 now for 361 yards.

Terrible game*

I believe that's a career high

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Look, Wentz overthrew an open deep ball

[ShotgunDawg]

The only way Dak will get credit is if he wins a Super Bowl or maaaaybbeeeee takes Dallas to the Super Bowl

He'll be bashed until then

[ShotgunDawg]

Look, Wentz overthrew an open deep ball

You don't say. You won't hear a peep about it

[maroonmania]

These refs absolutely suck! Both ways!

[Commercecomet24]

Dak has the ability to elevate his play in the 4th quarter no matter what's happened in the previous 3 quarters, just like all the greats. It's a quality not every qb possesses

[LC Dawg]

I've been enjoying this game and now here come the refs inserting themselves into it to ruin it.

[Quaoarsking]

The only way Dak will get credit is if he wins a Super Bowl or maaaaybbeeeee takes Dallas to the Super Bowl

He'll be bashed until then

If Dak had been drafted by Denver instead of Dallas, he would have a similar winning percentage, but he would be widely viewed as the best young QB in the NFL because the Broncos are universally hated like the Cowboys are.

[maroonmania]

These refs are now just throwing a flag one EVERY freaking play though that one looked legit.

[KOdawg1]

The refs are taking the game into their own hands

[Commercecomet24]

Officiating is ruining the nfl. It's terrible all over.

[maroonmania]

Officiating is ruining the nfl. It's terrible all over.

What did they call on #94 for Dallas? Was it because he tackled the QB in the pocket at the legs? What else was he suppose to do?

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Gregory with ANOTHER personal foul*



*for tackling the QB by the ankles

[KOdawg1]

Officiating is ruining the nfl. It's terrible all over.

They were doing okay earlier in this game, but they can't keep the freaking flag in their pockets now.

[BeardoMSU]

This is some bush league officiating...

[Commercecomet24]

What did they call on #94 for Dallas? Was it because he tackled the QB in the pocket at the legs? What else was he suppose to do?

That's exactly what they called he tackled him low in the pocket. Ridiculous!

[BeardoMSU]

Gregory with ANOTHER personal foul*



*for tackling the QB by the ankles

Pretty sure he made a "yo mamma joke" during the tackle.**

[ShotgunDawg]

WOW

[Commercecomet24]

This drive is on the officials

[maroonmania]

Dallas D has quit in the 4th quarter after dominating for the first 3.

[LC Dawg]

That's one of the best catches I've seen in a long time.

[RougeDawg]

Officiating is garbage.

[ShotgunDawg]

Alright Dak. Your turn

[maroonmania]

This drive is on the officials

Yes and no. The offensive PI call against the Eagles was garbage as well and cost the Eagles a TD.

[ShotgunDawg]

The officials have just inserted themselves way too often late in this game

[ShotgunDawg]

If you're Philly, do you inside kick with kickoff at 50?

[maroonmania]

Good grief, these refs are looking for anything to call. Cost the Cowboys 15 on the kickoff for that ridiculous call.

[maroonmania]

The officials have just inserted themselves way too often late in this game

That was not a foul at all.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just get the first 1st down

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Jesus, like I said, the Cowboys are digging deep into the rule book for penalties.

Trucking someone
Tackling the QB by the ankles
Touching the long snapper?s helmet

[msstate7]

If you're Philly, do you inside kick with kickoff at 50?

You can't be serious

[Commercecomet24]

Yes and no. The offensive PI call against the Eagles was garbage as well and cost the Eagles a TD.

You're right about that

[ShotgunDawg]

Why does he only overthrow Gallup & never Cooper?

[RocketDawg]

You're right about that

Dallas penalties after the PI were makeup penalties.

[LC Dawg]

Why does he only overthrow Gallup & never Cooper?

That last one was on Gallup for checking up a bit.

[ShotgunDawg]

That last one was on Gallup for checking up a bit.

Agree. He just always overthrows Gallup & not Cooper

Every overthrow is to Gallup

[maroonmania]

Elliott screwed that up. Should have run straight out of bounds. Cost Dallas a tiimeout.

[ShotgunDawg]

Unreal bad snap there

[maroonmania]

Back to back screwups by Dallas.

[ShotgunDawg]

The center completely screwed that up

[msstate7]

Big play fletcher

[maroonmania]

I don't understand why Dallas didn't call a timeout for a Hail Mary on 4th down?

[RougeDawg]

Terrible sequence of events.

[msstate7]

I don't understand why Dallas didn't call a timeout for a Hail Mary on 4th down?

No TO

[Dawgology]

Shit the bed there at the end. Wow

[maroonmania]

No TO

Yep, I was about to edit when I realized the TV graphic was wrong.

[maroonmania]

Shit the bed there at the end. Wow

Biggest mistake was Elliott not getting out of bounds. That was just a purely wasted timeout. Had he save that TO then the bad snap would have been easier to recover from.

[LC Dawg]

I'm a Saints fan and I love Dak but Fletcher Cox is a bad mfer.
Also, Darius Slay had a pick six today and Chris Jones got a sack in his ninth straight game. MSU is well represented in the NFL.

[Statecoachingblows**]

This feels like wathicng a state game

[ShotgunDawg]

Eagles are tired on defense with back to back possessions for Dallas

Zeke my end this on a jail break

[RougeDawg]

This feels like wathicng a state game

Yep. Bad penalties and bonehead plays at critical times. Good thing is that Dak should be used to games like this he has plenty of experience.

[maroonmania]

This feels like wathicng a state game

Agree, and WITH SEC officials.

[RougeDawg]

I?ll say that the two young Dallas TEs have been pretty good.

[Statecoachingblows**]

That last pass put Dak over 400?

[ShotgunDawg]

Fletch is playing out of his mind today

[maroonmania]

Smith is a holding machine. 3rd for the game.

[ShotgunDawg]

That last pass put Dak over 400?

397

[ShotgunDawg]

Smith is a holding machine. 3rd for the game.

He's been hurt. Probably has a lot to do with it

[bluelightstar]

Dallas holds an outrageous amount.

[ShotgunDawg]

Dak up to 423

[Statecoachingblows**]

I'd like to see play action to Zeke on the next 1st down. Bet Dak could forward roll into the endzone

[bluelightstar]

Dallas has run almost 90 plays for 560 yards. Incredible that this game is not over.

[ShotgunDawg]

Unreal terrible play call

[maroonmania]

I hate 3rd and 1 because Dallas cannot run when they have to.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Jarwin and Schultz ain't no Witten, but they're at least being serviceable replacements.

[ShotgunDawg]

I hate 3rd and 1 because Dallas cannot run when they have to.

It's amazing how bad they are at it when they usually run so well

[msstate7]

After a TO, id kick it.

[LC Dawg]

If you were going to go for it on 4th down why wouldn't you take a shot to the end zone on 3rd down?

[maroonmania]

Why would you not kick the FG here?

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn Zeke. Whew

[maroonmania]

Woo, barely!

[ShotgunDawg]

Here comes Cowboy's redzone issues

[ShotgunDawg]

2 min warning in overtime?

the 17?

[maroonmania]

Here comes Cowboy's redzone issues

Yep, if Dak had pulled that one I think he would have had good yardage. Not even sure that was an option though.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yep, if Dak had pulled that one I think he would have had good yardage. Not even sure that was an option though.

Nice thing is that the Cowboys are leaving Philly no time

[msstate7]

Cowboys may run it. If you throw it incomplete, eagles got 1:50 or so with 2 TOs. If you run it, you make em use a TO

[LC Dawg]

2 min warning in overtime?

the 17?

Did the Cowboys know that? I couldn't tell if they were waiting on it or if it surprised them.

[ShotgunDawg]

HOLY 17

[maroonmania]

Sometimes it helps to be lucky!

[Statecoachingblows**]

Just how it was drawn up

[LC Dawg]

That's a fitting end to that game.

[Commercecomet24]

Huge win!

[maroonmania]

What a game!

[msstate7]

Good win cowboys. Keep winning... I want them in super dome.

[maroonmania]

That's a fitting end to that game.

I'm just shocked there wasn't a flag somewhere on the play. These refs can't stand not being part of the action

[RougeDawg]

Good win cowboys. Keep winning... I want them in super dome.

If it happens I?ll have to meet up with you before game for some beverages. Superdome is a 10 minute bike ride from my house. Yes

[msstate7]

If it happens I?ll have to meet up with you before game for some beverages. Superdome is a 10 minute bike ride from my house. Yes

Sounds great

[Dawgology]

Good win. Great play by Cooper

[Pit Bull]

Looks like Dallas plays to win on that last drive!

[BiscuitEater]

It won't get to him & he'll make a play that wins the game

Nostradamas call for the win!!

[RocketDawg]

I certainly was pulling for Dallas, but I don't like the way the NFL plays overtime. Each team should always get a shot as long as there's time in the OT quarter.

[Cooterpoot]

This thread didn?t age well.
