Cowpukes postgame finger pointing thread

[sdskinsfan2001]

Against good teams our offense has to play just about perfect to win. They were merely good today so we lost.

Need more players on D.

I saw Jackson tugged by the jersey no call, Whitner penalty shouldn't have. Personal foul called as his momentum had him moving and could not stop, many other bullshit non calls by their DB's holding in the endzone.

To me it clearly was a penalty, QB sliding down, Whitner late and leading with his helmet... Overall, considering how bad refereeing is this season, I won't complain about the refs on this game, some missed calls but nothing game changing IMO. We made enough mistakes on our side to lose this one.

I may sound monomaniac, but I really don't see what Whitner is bringing to the table... Missed tackles, slow, gets beaten on coverage, doesn't ever break out from his blocks... I know you may say he's not the one costing us the game but I really don't see why you would play him over Ihenacho. I'm fine with Duke and Blackmon.

He's the best stopgap available, you got someone in mind that would be better? Have to wait till next years draft to DL, DE/OLB, S, ILB. This team's defense is a player or 2 away from being excellent.

Agreed on that bolded part 100% !

Still not sold on Whitner, did he make a play since we signed him? I have a hard time seeing him as our best stopgap available since he misses too many tackles for my taste

Like I said, who else is available? Whitner is slow but at least he can tackle (maybe so-so lately). That penalty if you see it in realtime, he couldn't stop and wasn't late. The hit on Reed in the endzone should have been a 15 yard penalty.

Reed is a man!!

Jordan Reed plays through shoulder injury sustained early in loss, excels against Cowboys

They are a player or three away from being good enough that we will win because our offense rocks.....

Yup. We are real close.
I would say I think the offense was very good today. Yeah we didn't punch it in early but u nail the fg's and boom. We moved the ball with ease all night. 26 points. That sort of offense should win.

Keim agrees:

Gruden rolled the dice. But coaching decisions gave Dallas two shorter fields to drive. They converted both into TDs.

Didn't have a problem with either of Gruden's decisions. Remember Tampa last year? You win some, you lose some.

And last Sunday after the 4th down conversion we were all admiring Grudens big balls. Sometimes it's the right decision whether it works out or not

But I will say he fucked up big time by not calling a timeout until :11 left in the 2nd quarter. We wasted 15 valuable seconds there

Clock management could be a lot better around here. Also, I thought that the onside kick with over 9 minutes left was a very poor call by Jay.

Agree. There have been several incidents of exactly what happened before the half over the season. 26 seconds is a lot different than 11. 2 plays to the end zone or one? It is really that simple.

I like the onside kick. He said they got a look they wanted and had been practicing it. Hopkins kicked it a little too far, but that's the way it goes.

Our defense wasn't going to win the game for us, it was a play with huge upside that didn't work out but it was aggressive and playing to win on the road against a rival.
