F$ck Dallas! Game thread

[calia]

So frustrating. A missed kick here. A bad call there (several actually). We could have won it but honestly, Dallas seemed like they wanted it more. That is disappointing. We looked like we were afraid to lose, not gunning to win. No killer instinct.

Exactly.

KC looked like he was wound up like a jack-in-the-box. Missing open receivers. Afraid to make a mistake. Gruden played the whole game like he was afraind to lose.

The line struggled to block and the RBs couldn't pick up a blitz so KC was under pressure and forced to hurry all night. I thought he played pretty good considering.

He didn't throw a pick - that was good. Yes, he was under pressure. However, he did nothing consistently to make Dallas back out of it - either by passing over or around it, audible out of plays that were headed in to the teeth of it, or making pre-snap adjustments to the blocking. Maybe he did some of these, but I didn't see it.

Lots of reasons we lost - mostly b/c no one did enough to win. KC was very much part of that equation.

Kirk's reluctance to change plays at the line was definitely a problem. There were a number of times the Cowboys linebackers showed their hand with a good ten seconds left on the play clock and Cousins didn't make adjustments. He needs to get better at that, and there's no reason to think he won't.

Yes. Yes there is. There are plenty of reasons. Again, not a rookie folks.
