wrnmnro Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Barber starts, runs great! Pound the ball...sets up the pass. Then in comes the three headed monster of running backs...funny, cute plays...a QB who can't get his feet under him to throw...and Packers win...going away! To think I sat LT for Barber today....I am an idiot!! Bring on Shanahan!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outshined Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Their running backs did not lose it. The lack of a good game planning did. Barber - 5 carries, Choice and Jones each had 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpwallace49 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I dont think the RBS were the problem . . . losing 2 starting tackles sure doesnt help the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrograde assault Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 They got their butts kicked pure and simple. But Choice is their best back, they should be starting him and feeding in barber and jones from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grits and Shins Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) LOL ... here I was thinking the biggest problems were the lack of a true GM and the resulting powder puff doughboy head coach. The team is loaded with talent and 'led' (I use that term very loosely) by a head coach that couldn't coach the same team to a college championship.

The team is loaded with talent and 'led' (I use that term very loosely) by a head coach that couldn't coach the same team to a college championship. Easy guys, this is the same team that won 4 in a row and just came off a huge win in Philly and then met a GB team that just came off a humiliating loss to Tampa. The D gave up 7 points and the O lost this one on a few plays. GB was the more intense team Sunday that's all. Now the sucky thing is losing our Tackle and Safety. The O left the D out on a line Sunday. Still in good shape. Where were the Wade bashers on the 4 game winning streak. Cone on now. I agree the running game should have been more effective but hey GB came to play at home in a must win. Not a horrible loss. I thought we would come out of this two game roady 1-1. Now if we take care of business at home we are fine. Go Boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearBroncos Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was flabbergasted with Dallas's game plan. Their success recently was built from their ability to move the ball on the ground. After the first half of nothing going right in the air, you would have thunked that they would had changed strategies and pound the ball on the ground for a few. Wade Phillips should be gone after this season (which I think he is slated anyway with Shanahan on the table). Horrific coaching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish247 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was amazed at the lack of running plays as well. Inexcusable. This is a chronic problem with Garrett. After the game, you look at the stat line and you wonder how he didn't call 5-10 more running plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrnmnro Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 It is absurd to come out with Barber running well and then go away from him. The coaching, play calling is high school...predictable. You can tell when Romo is star-gazing...when he goes bad...establish the run until his head clears! I am dropping Barber tomorrow unless anyone has a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboyz1 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you don't think the Boys looked totally horrible in that loss then we must not have been watching the same game. They looked bad yes but I credit GB playing very hard. When you look at the game the fumble Roy changed the game but we still had ways to win. THen the blown call by the Officials really sealed it. I think we could have pulled this one out because the D was playing great and if we could have gotten one positive play and a score we could have taken Momemtum and pulled it out. Just seemed like we were one play away all game of winning a tough hard fought game. No worries though, games like this on the road happen. They will be ready for Washington, then Oakland and they will be poised for a good run. You got to give credit to GB with their backs against the wall took advantage of key breaks and won. Roy Willams dispite his drops had a solid game witn 100+ and nice TD snare. Positive sign. Then again I still don't know why Garrett abandons the run so early when it was working. Don't quite get that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quite get that at all. I think several things are going on ... I believe Dallas is making an effort to get the ball to Roy Williams (forcing the ball to the number 1 WR). Roy Williams seems to be good for at least one drop in a key situation. The team lacks discipline and makes stupid penalties. The team tends to play down to their competition. For some reason Garrett seems to want to pass the ball despite success in the running game. The three headed monster at running back isn't working. Dallas should have pounded Green Bay but ended up letting Green Bay dominate them. The fact that Dallas was dominated speaks to the inconsistency of this team ... which means they after the last 5 games of the season they are likely to be watching the playoffs from their living rooms.

Samson Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Easy guys, this is the same team that won 4 in a row No they are not the same team. They are lucky that Philly and the Giants are sputtering right now. It's like none of these three mediocre teams wants to win this division. Frankly of the three teams, I think Philly's got the most talent. Dallas the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrnmnro Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Barber is the number one back in Dallas. He is solid at goal line, catching passes out of backfield (Romo ignored him when he was always open and looked down the field), he needs 20+ carries per week and will give 100+ yds and TDs. This also sets up the passing game. The coaching in Dallas says now they have to get F Jones more involved! They are spinning themselves right into the ground! Dallas cannot survive on the play making of Romo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 IMO, Roy Williams lost that game for the Cowboys. He had that easy pass that he dropped and the huge pass that he fumbled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly whe you have hard running MBIII and explosive FJ.. you POUND the ball and you go with speed to the outside... AND THEN you nail them play action and go downfield pass. The Cowboys are going to fall short of expectations once again.. ie early playoff exit - if they make the playoffs if they dont get the ground game going. If the Giants get their act together they will win the division and Cowboys wont even make the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
