Big Blue Huddle

Tough kid, took a severe beating today. Not much else to take away when the whole team and the coaches were outclassed. 17 points is the second most all season since week two. Sadly.

They should give Matt Barkley a start at some point.

Only losing by 39 points instead of 40. That's an improvement.

He has to fire a coach or two because he needs to turn this around somewhat.

The play calling and offensive execution is abysmal.

He's doing the best he can, and it's unfortunate that the team is in a position where someone with his experience and ability has to actually play. You don't go into a season expecting your first and second stringer to both go down. When that does happen, it's pretty hard to win. Panicking and firing an entire coaching staff in the middle of a season would be a knee-jerk move that would solve nothing.

You think they would fire the coaching staff in the middle of the season? Seriously?

The largest Cowboys loss in franchise history came in 1966, when the Dallas Cowboys defeated them 52-7. Don Meredith threw five TD passes for the Cowboys that day.

Dandy Don.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 12, 2023, 06:03:47 PMI don't get it. Did people think this game was going to be competitive? Look who we have at QB.

Yup, blame the QB. That will fix everything.

And that means the entire Coaching Staff goes. Wink included. This is bad, this is very, very bad.

So am I still overreacting about Kafka???

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 12, 2023, 11:09:08 AMYes, sometimes he did. So do most QBs on bad teams.

In the Dallas loss?

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 12, 2023, 11:00:11 AMI think it is also important not to give him too much credit if he racks up some cheap stats in the late 3rd and 4th quarter if/when they're down by three or four scores. That happened in the Vegas game, and those stats really don't mean that much. What matters is how he looks when the game is still at least somewhat in question. If he's awful during that period but then puts together some cheap late yards and a cheap TD when the Giants have zero shot, it's important to parse that data appropriately. That's almost as irrelevant as preseason play IMO.

Well, now you're setting the bar and inserting parameters. Did DJ put up garbage time points? 

Looking better than Glennon and Fromm. If he outplays DJ's game, that's a good benchmark.

Based on the expectations coming into the league, I would say his expectations were not high. Many claimed he was over-drafted. Based on the fact that he won a playoff game coming off a decent season and then received a 40 million-dollar contract, then he surely busted this year. That expectation was that he was looking to be that Franchise QB and his play and injuries negated that expectation.

In the true sense of the term Bust, he was not in the category of a Rosen, Akili Smith, Harrington or Ryan Leaf.

Good to hear you're ok. Most medical coverage doesn't cover outside the country. Maybe consider a referral to a pulmonologist, just to get the best evaluation.

You really want to make that determination after one start against a team than beat the Giants at home 40-0?

How about some points and less than 7 sacks?

Quote from: Bob In PA on November 12, 2023, 09:09:32 AMEd: So I see you finally decided to refer to the elephant in the room, eh?  (Yes, I know you've been hinting at it forever).

I wonder how many games we've lost because of that (over my lifetime). 

Ever since Eldridge Dickey (AFL) and Marlin Briscoe (NFL) then obviously Warren Moon, I've sat pissed off in the corner.  But I stand by my statement (somewhere, maybe not in this thread) that even the Philistines could not ignore the success of Lamar Jackson.  Second round?     

Bob

So do you think that the Giants would have broken Lamar Jackson?
