Shouldn't be a penalty but that's what the NFL is nowadays. Heinicke is a big boy and can handle getting sacked. 

The NFL is such a joke lol

This is so ugly

Gibson seems like he's worrying way too much about fumbling. He's playing hesitant and not fighting through contact because of that. We've all seen him run with way more power than he has been tonight. 

Launch Bobby McCain and William Jackson into the sun. Awful signings. 

Run blocking in this game so far doesn't look so hot.

Again… I’ll repeat… it was a good play but it wasn’t a huge tackle by Holcomb as the other poster said. Because he didn’t make the tackle.

Im not defending Holcomb by any means tbh. That whole sequence was luck based.

Just now, KDawg said:

Sure. But the post said huge tackle. Last I checked he didn’t tackle him

It took one man's failure for another to find success. Neither would have found success by themselves lol.

He missed.

He did, at least he slowed down the RB though because we know Jackson isn't stopping him with a full head of steam.

I was hoping more of our fans would feel obligated to show up for a team that’s trying to go on a playoff run. Kinda disappointed if I’m being honest....

This post seems kind of foolish if you aren't making it from FedEx Field. This team is not worth going to see on a work night. 

We are the "get right" team for every NFL team that is struggling.

DeAndre Carter missed that block on 2nd & Goal, otherwise Gibson walks in. 

All he needed to do was hold his block for one second and that was a TD

And if we end up drafting a guy then we're committing $10+ mil to a backup. When we have to give long term deals to McLaurin, Payne, Sweat, etc...

Meh, only one of those 3 guys would be a significant loss and I don't even have to say which one. There's a draft for a reason, you only should re-sign your absolute best players unless you are getting a bargain contract.

I don't think that's the case. If anything Young tries too hard to make the big play.

Trying to make a big play doesn't mean that you are tough as nails. He wants to make the splashy play. Look at how he plays compared to someone like Chandler Jones who just constantly grinds the lineman down. Chase appears to give up frequently.

Micah Parsons already has 9 sacks this year 

Chase Young would have more than that if he played the game with the same mindset Parsons does. Unfortunately, he plays soft. 

The age old question: Can one increase his average velocity at throwing the football at Heinicke's age? I definitely think some QBs have figured it out, like Brady who's arm seems to have gotten bigger over the years. I don't think it has much to do with strength though, it has more to do with how your nervous system is firing and it's more about fast twitch.

Not if it's a strong pass into the dirt. We've seen quite a lot of that out of McFlabb and Haskins.  

Why would Heinicke throw it into the dirt? He's already showed he's pretty accurate.

I will take accuracy and timing and smart football play over a canon any day. 

I would too but having a strong arm would make him much better. 

Heinicke would be unreal if he had a cannon. It sucks because that's definitely the only thing that holds him back IMO. He has all the other tools required to be a great franchise QB.

Its fine to criticize him for his on field performance. Lord knows I have. But he's allowed to maximize his earnings as a professional.

He can do this and then get the deserved criticism when he has a bad season. That's how it works and that's how it's currently working out for him. If he was having a good season nobody would be saying anything but now there is ground for speculation that he wasn't doing everything he could to improve his game. 

Chase must have beat a lot of ****ty offensive linemen in college.

Dan Campbell is one and done; especially if the Lions go 0-17.

I doubt it, that team has a shocking lack of talent. This should open a lot of people's eyes as to how good Stafford is. He carried this pathetic roster a lot further than most QBs would be able to.

Dallas has won nothing since 95.

They're still somewhere in the top 15-20 teams since then though. They can expect to be competitive week in and week out, also, they have had two franchise QBs post '95.

We've been bottom feeders

Second game in three where Sweat didn't show up anywhere on the stat sheet. Just wondering if we're allowed to criticize his productivity as well.

Is there ever any post of yours that doesn't have a bait and line attached to it? 

Sweat is at least looking like a solid 1st rounder, which is more than we can say about some other guy on our DL.

Jerry lucked into a franchise QB and took advantage of another team’s poor management by way of the Herschel Walker trade. They’ve been as incompetent since the beginning of the Snyder era as we have.

So apart from 3 SB trophies and winning much more consistently than us, Dallas has been just as incompetent as us? Dallas has been a much better franchise the last 25 or so years than we've been, this team has been a bottom 5 organization post '91.
