Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Cowboys @ Pats

[A Defiant Goose]

If Mac gets sacked again and fumbles at the end of the first half we're screwed...we get the ball to start the 2nd half, so I'm ok with this. We go in with the lead.

Yea there's a lot of criticism the coaching staff deserves but running out the clock against the best offense after getting nothing on a first down run is really not that bad

 

[sambam94]

It's not like they are stopping the Cowboys offense. You need to be aggressive on offense to win this game. BB has turned soft.

 

[stcjones]

criticize him all you want, I still prefer Bill the coach over Bill the GM.

Bill the coach is very good….Bill the GM ? Not as good….

 

[Hammer of Thor]

Jim and Romo insisting they scored on 3rd down, but they didn't.

They don’t know that for sure, it’s their Cowboy bias coming through. Depends on if the knee hit earlier in the process.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Is Rhamondre in the 3rd down back role? I saw him catch a pass or 2 but wasn't sure who was in there in obvious passing downs

 

[Jlaff]

This is so unlike anything we have seen from the Patriots in years. He always let Brady try to get a score before the half, he should have let Mac try also, Mac has played well today !

Well, I wouldn't go that far. But they'd never kneel with a minute plus left.

Right now, neither is very good.

 

[Biffins]

we're going into the half with a lead, what don't you like?

That's ridiculous.

Are you saying you would like them to try and do something with the 1:32 (which should have been almost 2 minutes) if Cowboys had scored a TD and we were down 3 pts, but because of the fumble and we're up 4pts you like the call that we let the time run out instead of running a 2 minute drill?!?!?

That makes no sense. 4 pts is nothing. We should be trying to score of the possession.

We did this against TB, right? Not one of Bill's finest coaching games...

 

[DropKickFlutie]

Some O-line news: @DropKickFlutie will be happy.

Oh yeah !! OLine looks good

 

[farn]

Tipping the scales :
For NE - the holding that negated the TD
For Dallas - twice giving NE the ball within the redzone

 

[sambam94]

Our defense has played lights out, hats off to them.

Our OL might just get Mac Jones killed. He has made all the throws in the book when given time and protection.

lights out? Dac has 192 yards at the half

 

[patsinthesnow]

On the plus side I do think the weapons are starting to come together on offense. That may be their 6 best quarters of offense since early 2019 as crazy as that sounds.

 

[StrawHatPatriot]

Oh come on Bill.

Bill you little wussy. What the hell? Come on now!

Wow, bill is an absolute coward. You don't even try to score with 1:30 left?!!!

I can't till if it's a Bill thing, or a Mac Jones thing

Well

early signs for the 2021 Gm decisions are quite decent

in fact, this year, BB the coach is letting BB the GM down.

 

[sambam94]

I think he scored, knee wouldn't be done on the QB sneak.

 

[sb1]

I wish BB starts to trust his rookie QB sometime this season.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

So much potential there. If only we can get clean play out of our OL

 

[Redman443]

Halftime assessment. Honestly we should have been up by more if not on that BS holding call on that play to meyers. Dak has been dinking and dunking against the secondary all game but they’ve been holding in the red zone. I think we’re going to need more points to pull this one out
