Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)

SmootSmack · 11-20-2011, 05:15 PM

What a game that was. Too bad we lost and too bad we were 3-6 going into the game. I'm not going to lie though, I was kind of hoping we'd just go for two at the end of regulation. If we make it, it's an unbelievable way to win at the end of regulation. If we lose, well we tried and we don't lose any ground in draft positioning.

John Beck Wait, what? John Beck?! He didn't even play!...True, but when I see what this offense has been able to do throwing the ball the past 2 weeks it pisses me off even more that we wasted those weeks with Beck.

SmootSmack Dude's a straight up baller...but he was stupid for thinking "it's a good idea to put Beck in there to see what he can do" No, Beck sucks. There was no idea to put him in there to kill our season. Not saying Grossman would have won the games Beck lost. I mean Grossman hasn't won the past two weeks but you feel like there at least would have been a chance

DeAngelo Hall I mean the last play was not all on him. He slipped, Atogwe got turned around, Dez made a great adjustment, etc. But raise your hand if you, like me, had that sinking feeling Bryant was going to make a big play even after the Cowboys got pushed back on 3rd and long with a false start. But anyhow, you're out there one on one with Dez Bryant because you say you want to be the man DeAngelo...well then, you gotta be the man

Ryan Torain Yeah he's pretty much useless these days

Orakpo - I mean really. What happened to you dude? Were you even out on the field today or were we just playing with 10 guys?

I realize that they line up against different guys but Kerrigan has been much more of a factor all year....WTF Rak?

Yeah, disappointed in his game of late. We lost this game in large part due to a lack of qb pressure when it counted. I know we got 4 sacks & they hadn't given up a sack in 2 weeks prior, but a couple of those were coverage sacks. The secondary did its job on most of those 3rd down plays, but Romo was able to get out of the pocket & make a play w/out much pressure.

I was stating that yesterday that Orakpo was getting 1on1 with LT Doug Free
and got shut out on rushing the passer. When Romo got out of the pocket you Rak was no where to be found. Hey if you want to be a pro bowler then you need to make plays when the games is on the line.

Cant believe you left Gano off that list

I figure there was already enough complaining about him in other threads. Plus I'm not so mad at him for missing that 52 yarder. He's only had one miss from beyond 50 yards this year so yeah I expected him to make it. But I'm more upset we couldn't find someway on that 3rd down to move the ball up a few yards. That's where a running game would have helped us.

SFREDSKIN · 11-20-2011, 05:18 PM

Gano for missing 2 field goals and coaching staff for not playing Helu more, Torain sucks!

Can't lie, I was just happy to see a competitive game today

I'm not even mad about this loss tonight. This team should me exactly what I thought they would be. A competitive and scrappy team that were in the games, but barely lost out (or won) in the end. The previous weeks had been a disappointment because I thought the team was much more capable than what they had displayed.

I got labeled a D. Hall hater a year ago for saying he wasn't that good, and even went on to point out the stats. There are times when D. Hall plays tight coverage on the guy like he was his second shadow or something, and then turns around and gives up a 3 and 15 play. It's frustrating because the guy could be so much more, but plays with little discipline.

Not even going to hate on Gano for that missed 52 yard FG, but the guy needs to step it up. He's currently the ranked #31 kicker out of 34.

Orakpo seemed to be dominated the whole game by Doug Free. He needs to start developing a better move if he's going to improve on his career. Otherwise, it's going to be a flash in the pan one trick pony.

I'm going to say something about Kyle and not in regards to the play calling. The play calling was fine today, but why is he continuing to run Torain? Helu is averaging over 4 yards per carry and he's still trying to run that bum? Really?

I think this sums up my feelings for the whole team, especially the defense. I really feel it falls on the coaching staff to make sure that these inconsistencies.

DHall is a well-known stubborn mule who won't soften up his stance on how he wants to play the game, and this is why he is not competing with Revis as a truly top CB in the league.

Me too. We finally played an exciting, competitive game. It sucks that we lost but at least this loss is not so depressing.

On another note, I love Helu but he needs to develop more strength so that he can break more tackles.
