PostGame Thread Official Post Game Thread- Cowboys beat the Pats

[PatsFanSince74]

How did the refs miss the facemask grab in OT?

They didn't want Tony Romo to yell at them...they both sounded like announcers calling a home game for a Division 3 team.

 

[TheRainMaker]

we had a choice between deebo Samuel, Aj Brown, di Metcalf, diontae Johnson, Terry McLaurin, and NKeal Harry.

Not once....twice!

I may steal that gem for my avatar.

It’s even worse when you realize that four of those fit the type of receiver that thrives in the Patriots offense more than Harry ever did.

OL needs to be the priority in the off-season. Wynn is made of glass and has underperforming when healthy, and Trent brown is dealing with injuries 2 years in a row.

Seems like every week Mac a rookie QB needs to put the team on his back to get a win or make it a game.

I’ll never understand it. It started with the famous group text chain started by luuked recruiting BB fan boys and listening to Chatham podcast slobfests about BB. Then the mods here really picked up the slack when that group dissipated

Funny…everyone from Team Tom remains active on this forum and giving honest, non-homer opinions / analysis about the Patriots (and have called it right about 90% of the time). Team Bill has been shrinking…not surprising. Maybe they’ll go root for Nick Saban and feel empowered again.

Excuse the bad visual on the 3rd and 25. If Prescott had hit Lamb in stride it’s a first down and possibly even a touchdown. The pass caused him to stop and come up a yard short. I have no idea what the defense is doing here.

The defense is being exhausted because they had played something like 60 snaps.

all I heard before the season from the Belichick club was how last year didn’t count and the team would win 10-11 games and make the playoffs this year

now we get to hear excuse after excuse. this moral victory crap after losses is the same thing we made fun of the rest of the afc east fans doing for 20 years. 0-4 at home now. Belichick’s bad drafting and baffling decision to blow money in free agency on mostly mediocre players is rearing its ugly head

0-4 at home. Last time that happened was 1993.

Some of it is because the O couldn’t stay on the field. And some of it because the D couldn’t stop them.

What does it means when a team has 567 yds of offense and was 3/13 on 3rd down? It means that Dallas had their way on 1st and 2nd down all game.

there was a moment in the first half where Dallas had more plays inside the Pats 50 than the pats had in the game. They couldn’t get out of the field even in the first half. Dallas punted once. I’ll give the D credit, they played though, they were excellent in short yardage situation and they made plays in the RZ but Dallas moved the ball at will

Not true, Rob.. Smith was used mostly as a receiver because he's been underwhelming as a blocker. Not sure wtf is going on, but he's taken a big step back.

Patriots TE have the hardest position to learn after the QB in this offense. It might be that he isn't effective until later in the year or even next year. Based on learning the full position responsibilities

Really, that's all you heard last year, with 23 new players on the team and a rookie QB? That's what "everyone" was saying?

Jesus, stop crying, they are developing a QB and a team. The Boys def threw some stuff on D that confused Mac, he was slower on his pre snap reads than I've seen all year. He's a rookie, get over it

Coaching scared lost this game. First quarter Mac Jones passed all over the cowboys. Then for whatever reason Josh remembered he was being too aggressive.

So we run twice up the middle have Mac throw. Use bolden on a 3rd and 1, kneel at the end of the half when you have nearly 2 minutes. And then go back to 2 runs up the middle in OT putting Mac in a difficult situation. Then give the ball back to Dak when you know your defense can't stop him.

It's scared gutless coaching losing these games

Oh yeah, calling out every decision that doesn't gain yards sure is intellectually honest.

Probably because Mac had a concussion from that hit. He wasn't the same QB after that

Regarding the Bolden run, Mac admitted to checking into running plays last week when he shouldn't have. Why are you assuming that was the call

If Mac has a concussion or is injured he should not be playing.

You're right. But how many times have players tried to cover that up
