Game Day Thread Official Game Day Thread- Cowboys @ Pats

[venecol]

Mac is 7 of 7 for 100 yds + TD and we're up 14-10.

Anyway you look at it that's a win.

 

[ashley]

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

Probably an O-line thing

 

[PP2]

I'm triggered.

How could it be a Mac Jones thing?

 

[Biffins]

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

Well yeah, since they should have not run at all when they had no Timeouts. You're using a bad outcome (no gain) on a bad call (to run the ball), to justify an even worse call (to kneel for the rest of the half).

 

[Twentytothree]

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

The usual suspects cannot deal with any kind of adversity. Like 5-year olds before any training in executive function in kindergarten.

 

[PP2]

I think the team senses that this is a defining game. If we win this game, we'll finish this season with a winning record.

 

[ctpatsfan77]

Well

early signs for the 2021 Gm decisions are quite decent

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

That and injuries and poor execution.

 

[BobDigital]

Well all things considered. Up 4 going into the half with the ball is better than most of us hoped. But the Cowboys won't be contained as much in the 2nd half. We need to convert on our offensive chances and put up some point. We need to take chances in the passing game. We need to run effectively. We need to be more creative with our play calling. Small ball won't win it for us. We can't play it too safe on that side, try to run the clock out and and put up 10 more and win. We need TDs. Probably at least need to hit 28.

 

[Patsgofor4]

lights out? Dac has 192 yards at the half

And have held an elite running game to 2.4 yds on 18 carries.

 

[sean10mm]

What a coward call with 1:30 left. Fcuk that.

 

[nowayback]

WE(I) looked pretty good 1st half, D esp in red zone. Mac good as usual . Hope we can keep it up

 

[ashley]

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.

I ask you, what if Mac goes back and turns it over again and Dallas goes in and takes the lead....we are leading going into the half and get the ball to start the 3rd

 

[Biffins]

What a coward call with 1:30 left. Fcuk that.

it only went to 1:30 since they didn't call the timeout immediately after the Cowboys ran the ball on 3rd down. They waited 30 seconds before calling Timeout. Ridiculous clock management.

 

[JayNM]

This year BB the coach and BB the GM are both horrible.

Any GM who might have correctly drafted the Franchise QB is doing a good job.

 

[Ring 6]

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.

10 points.

 

[denverpatsfan]

Getting outcoached and outplayed in the trenches. I have no idea how the Pats have the lead? Did Kraft write a bigger check this week than Jones?

 

[Biffins]

I ask you, what if Mac goes back and turns it over again and Dallas goes in and takes the lead....we are leading going into the half and get the ball to start the 3rd

Mac can turn the ball over ANYTIME he throws. That doesn't mean we stop throwing. I honestly don't understand your argument.

 

[JayNM]

Mac is 7 of 7 for 100 yds + TD and we're up 14-10.

Anyway you look at it that's a win.

Why we still not trusting him on 4th downs?

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Probably an O-line thing

Yep, shaky RT play with an obvious passing situation upcoming. Combined with the fact that you just barely make it out with the lead and don't want Dallas potentially knocking on the door again. I didn't love the decision but i can live with it I guess.
