tmandoug1 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I enjoyed the game yesterday on multiple fronts. It was nice to see a solid running game against a team that held Dalvin Cook 27 for 115 and 1 TD as compared to our boy Gibson 20 115 3 TDs. That young man is pure badassery. A defense getting off the field on 3rd and anything.....so nice to see them stop a team. I know people will disagree but I do seriously think Logan Thomas resolves our issue at TE....he will only get better. Alex will be Alex.....but its hard to throw touchdowns when Gibbysan is running them in front 34 yards out. RR is the best thing to happen to this team in 30 years.  Be safe.   Link to post Share on other sites

Malapropismic Depository Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I just re-watched the TD to Cooper, and Darby literally turns completely around and stops completely for a moment and stares at Dalton, JUST AS the ball is launched into the air. Cooper did not stop prior to that, so what was Darby thinking, to cause him to just utterly stop ? If he does not do that, he may not have necessarily prevented the catch (or he may actually have), however he SURELY could have tackled him to stop Cooper from scoring Edited November 27, 2020 by Malapropismic Depository 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He inherited a lot of the mess but is going to come out of it with guys like Gibson & McLaurin to build around, while having a solid veteran QB that can buy the franchise another season or two of either developing Haskins or drafting a QB to sit & learn for a little bit before being thrown into the fire.  On defense, there is a lot of good mixed with plenty of holes to fill, but the progress is there. You're right that getting the division lead has something to do with it. For me, this te has been awful in primetime games for ages. I'm pleasantly surprised the inverse happened. Link to post Share on other sites

I can't figure out for the life of me why Holcomb would be graded that high.  He didn't miss assignments from what I saw. But he was slow to fill and late to tackle plenty of times and struggled with block shedding.  That said, I did notice an improvement on him playing downhill. He was in on tackles closer to the LoS than usual.  An 86.2 is way too high of a grade for him. But he is a starting caliber backer and I'd love to keep him on the outside moving forward.  they give bonus points for lifting people up when you tackle them 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Loss by a total of 7 points. And really for me, the first four games could have been more competitive with better QB play. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

joeken24 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) I guess Darby had a tough outing. But on the long pass, the team could have challenged for offensive PI. But it's Dallas, so it probably wouldn't have been overturned. But it was clearly a push off. Here's proof. Notice you don't hear **** from the unbiased broadcast talking about it. Ointerference.mp4 Edited November 27, 2020 by joeken24 add 5 1 Link to post Share on other sites
