the worst play calling in the history of football

I understand not blaming the players for everything, as a coach you have to take responsibility. But that play was all on Romo. The whole comeback by GB wasn't all on him - but that pick certainly was.

 

 

They never should have been in the position to force throws at the end. They were running at will and had a 20 point lead at halftime. This one lies at the feet of the playcaller.

Dude, they're the Cowboys. This is what they do. That said, the Romo to Bryant TD sent me into the finals. So truck it.

 

 

On the flipside, that same TD is probably what will keep me OUT of the finals.

 

 

The four back-to-back-to-back-to-back TDs surrendered to Flynn didn't help either :sad:

...And they weren't. Someone just forgot to tell Romo.

 

 

They were behind with 1:30 left. What game were you watching? If not for the inexplicable play calling they are never in that situation.

 

Many games can be blamed on Romo. The Broncos game being one. Not this one though.

I was talking about where Dallas had the ball, up by 5, and in a very obvious running situation. Romo passed, gave the ball away and great field position with it. THAT one was Romo's fault if he did truly audible to a pass.

 

 

The other playcalling was bad too, though, no arguing with that. The loss was not ALL on Romo by any means - that was a group effort, one of the best I've seen out of the Cowboys all year! :)

The Flynn tornado made me a couple hundy on Fanduel. Best 5300 I ever spent on a QB. You know Dallas' D will screw the pooch. I'd roster Scatman Caruthers if he was going against the Dallas D. honda.

 

 

When my opponent started Flynn, I thought "Hmm. The cowboys D is bad, but are they really bad enough for Flynn to have a decent day?" After he scored 4 points in the first half, I thought I had found my answer. Then the second half came. :sick:

No way to say for sure if it would have impacted the outcome, but how did Shields not get flagged for chucking the ball up into the stands after that pick? If he gets 15 for unsportsmanlike or delay, GB is starting at its 35 instead of the 50. :thinking:

I thought he would get a delay of game as well. Apparently spiking the ball on the field will get you the penalty but throwing it into the stands won't?

 

 

:lol:

If you are a Cowboy fan, how would you feel if tomorrow Jerry Jones said that he's firing Garrett and he's stepping down as GM

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and after Washington fires Shanny he's hiring him as coach and GM? See it could be worse.

Wonder if C1 still wants the play caller fired.

 

 

Absolutely, there is no reason what so ever for the packers to have time to come back period. There were spots for at least 8 more runs that were incomplete passes. Those eight runs keep the clock running and the game is over. Romo screwed up again by trying to fit it in and make a big play for his team but in that situation, he has to know the only thing the can kill you is a pick. Punts don't rally a team like picks do. Punts don't fire up a team and kill your own like picks do. I want someone to have the smarts on this team to manage the game, and we don't have that person. Until we do have that person we will continue to lose tight games when the clock has to be managed better then that.

It was the worst play calling I have seen ever. I was speechless wondering what the hell Garrrett/Romo were thinking. How do you NOT run the ball every time you have the ball late in the fourth quarter? It kills the clock, force GB to us all their time outs and prevents turnovers (most of the time). The game would have been over, Dallas wins and they move onto Washington with a ton of momentum. Now, it is questions about Jones, Garrett, Romo and the Cowboys all week as they stare down the barrell of trying to win their last two games and make the playoffs.

 

As a Giants fan, i enjoyed watch Dallas self destruct. As a football fan, I was in utter shock.

Yep, yep and Yep. The thing that bothers me the most is that they don't learn. The Detroit game should have once and for all taught them that running the ball when your ahead is a must. Even if you don't make a lot of yardage you force the clock to keep running. There were opportunities to run the clock the entire second half that turned out to be incomplete passes or sacks. Horrible horrible horrible play calling. I know what Romo is thinking, "we are not going to win this game if I don't keep throwing". But that is false. Murray was your friend. He was averaging 7 per and you have to give him the rock. I was livid on the last two drives after we scored that they didn't hand the ball off. The screen to Murray just had me running hot. I could not believe what I was seeing. No team and I MEAN NO team or coach I have seen this year would have not run the ball in that situation. The only way they win is running the clock because the D was just giving up scores like a porn star. POUND THE FOOTBALL. The line was playing well. I just don't get it. I really don't.

Just when you think the Cowboys cant come up with a new way to embarras themselves, they surprise you. They absolutely suck. Any of you that hated Dallas while watching them win all those superbowls are now enjoying the flipside. They are the laughing stock of the NFL. Ware is so massively over rated its a joke. Run straight up the field and do nothing. Thats all he does. Sean Lee is a gutless little twat that is constantly in street clothes when he isnt getting decleated by Wide receivers and Romo just flat out sucks donkey balls

I nearly gave up on the game before the half was over, I guess I forgot who had the lead. Much like my Browns the Cowboys find new ways of losing. This one is firmly on the playcalling to start, compounded by the bad decisions by Romo. And of course the poor play by the defense.

 

At least you didn't score 2 TDs on defense and still lose :bag:
