I have some questions.
Was Wilcox out?
Remind me again why Lance Dunbar is on the roster much less in the game in passing situations?
Is Romo as the backup taking practice reps away from Dak?

Agree on Dunbar. McFadden is ready. He should take Dunbar spot.
No, it's still not.Southlake said:
Another reason this loss is bad is that now the Cowboys can't really afford to rest players. Tampa and Detroit are tough and the finale is away in the cold against a Philly team that will make the Cowboy game their Super Bowl - most probably in the cold. Also, now the Romo discussion is Germaine again causing further distraction.

At this point in the season it wouldn't make any sense to change from Dak to Romo. We would have to change what we're doing offensively. No more read option on occasion, less bootlegs, etc. I don't think it's happening even if we lost to both Tampa Bay and Detroit.

The bootleg is what got us our only TD yesterday.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:jtstanley4621 said:

which we seemed to have abandoned anyway the last couple of games. inexplicably.

Yeah, we ran a lot of play action and bootleg last night and it was snuffed out repeatedly. That's probably why you saw Linehan goto more straight drop back. It looked like they were spying Dak as well and preventing any QB runs of significance. Some defenses are just good. They were using the secondary to come up in run support while also not allowing any big play action passes.
This was all obvious during the game. Which is why I couldn't understand not going to some screen and draw plays. Change something please.
The only thing their D didn't do was stop the run consistently, we just went away from it for no real reason. Zeke had over 5 yards per carrry and was already over 100 in the third.jr15aggie said:The bootleg is what got us our only TD yesterday.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:jtstanley4621 said:

And we did run the read option... one of the times Dak kept it (which you have to do to keep them honest) and NY stuffed it.
They got us. Their D was one step ahead all night. I seriously doubt they could beat us a 3rd time if we met again, but I'm ready for new blood.
This is again where it would be nice to have seen some replays showing what was going on in their secondary. Or perhaps an actual sports journalist could release an article showing it. It's very possible no one was getting open.DannyDuberstein said:
With NYG crashing on the run and playing aggressively underneath, a guy like Dez has to step the **** up and make them pay over the top.
Yeah, I was a bit frustrated we didn't run the ball a bit more. Seems like we were trying to fool them by passing when it was probably a run down.PatAg said:The only thing their D didn't do was stop the run consistently, we just went away from it for no real reason.

honestly, even if we win next week but Dak plays poorly again then it needs to be a conversation.jtstanley4621 said:
Dez and Dak had their worst games of the season. Just had a coworker tell me he'd put in romo. The discussions have begun, but overall I think people should relax. If Dan Bailey gets about a foot extra on his FG, that ties the game. Lose to both Tampa Bay and Detroit with Dak struggling, and we've got a real conversation.
I've seen your poon meltdowns, and I don't think this falls under that classification.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:
not sure about the melting down or poon part but i posted last night that i thought the loss might actually be a good thing for this young team. as for Aggie football i'm sure there are plenty in agreement with me on what i think of our current leadership. if being certain our current leadership isn't going to win us any championships or even divisions qualifies as melting down or being a poon...then guilty as charged
thought i saw him too but the number seemed different i remember thinking. not sure though.Unthought Known said:
Wasn't McFadden active against the Giants? Probably took Luckys spot.

I saw him on ST and thought, wow, McFadden is on ST. And then they called a hold on him.
I still say it was advantage defense that game. There is a reason why Dallas's D also looked the best it has all year. The 60+ yarder to Beckham and a field goal from a drive that required the Giants to go for it on 4th and 3 are the only scores they gave up.Quote:
5. I think the Giants defense knew what was coming almost every play. Cowboys should look at film to see if one of the offensive players is tipping off plays. It just seemed like the Giants were too good.
