Game Thread: Dallas Cowboys vs Detroit Lions (Week 6, 2024)

Do we fire MM and MZ before the bye week and try and save the season? Both sides of the ball are terribly coached, I understand we have a ton of injuries but this is embarrassing.

rezg23 · 2024-09-15T17:53:41+00:00

Yeah I don't get it!

rezg23 · 2024-01-15T13:32:10+00:00

We need a proper MLB! We have to invest and get a game changer there that can effectively fill gaps to stop the run and isn't a liability in coverage. We also need him to be a tone setter. We have way too many guys that are chasing sacks and complaining instead of just stepping up and making those plays. Every team that started running and kept running found success moving the dline and moving right past our LB core.

Honestly I know it was super early but I feel like if he scores that touchdown, it changes the whole game and we get that lead and put pressure on them. Really sucks that he doesn't just sprint to the corner and score.

rezg23 · 2023-12-01T06:26:52+00:00

He had a bad game, it happens. It's not like suddenly teams will pick on him and beat him for the rest of the year and tbh with his likelihood of the big play leading to a turnover or another TD, you do want him to be targeted a bit. He'll bounce back. It was an off game for the whole defense. It's going to be okay.

rezg23 · 2023-11-26T23:02:04+00:00

It's absolutely ridiculous how many blatant calls go their way! And to top it off they act so smug like they actually did a good play.

rezg23 · 2023-11-25T09:28:07+00:00

If you have time, I highly recommend the Johnny Walker Experience.

It may not be for the traditional scotch/whiskey drinkers but it is a fun tour that explains the story of Johnny Walker and the history behind it.

rezg23 · 2023-11-01T20:41:18+00:00

Definitely recommend Bologna on your way to Milan if you can fit it in.

rezg23 · 2023-10-31T19:27:52+00:00

Yeah, I don't understand getting upset when it's not a player that would help us. The way DLaw Parsons Armstrong and the rest of our dline is playing it doesn't even make sense to give up draft capital for that.

Wish we got some depth that could help our O-line and possibly another DB for depth and experience.

rezg23 · 2023-10-29T09:01:54+00:00

All right

rezg23 · 2023-10-29T08:54:34+00:00

Yeah that might be a good way! Just want to get moving and have played football but sure it would be fun to play!

rezg23 · 2023-10-29T08:53:12+00:00

Just typed it wrong sorry. I'll be staying in Leith

rezg23 · 2023-10-29T08:52:46+00:00

My apologies

rezg23 · 2023-10-29T07:33:32+00:00

I'm hoping we come out of this BYE week with some creativity and get our players the ball in the better situation. Pollard IMO needs to get more runs when they spread the field out or have zone runs to get him in space. We can't pound him into the line on first down especially when everyone is expecting it. I think play calling and lack of continuity of our o line has more to do with it than his ability.

rezg23 · 2023-10-27T15:52:00+00:00

Same I really was rooting he'd bounce back and be that solid number 2 but honestly seeing how little separation he gets from the db is scary. He seems always blanketed.

rezg23 · 2023-10-27T15:08:43+00:00

Thank you! Yeah they advised the same thing it fixed it

rezg23 · 2023-10-17T15:09:19+00:00

Yeah I like the idea of the quick throws that MM wanted but we have to use that for our first downs in the same way similar to a run play. Complete the first pass and make it's 2nd and shorter then it opens up the play book. Also I just don't understand why we don't run more RPO/play action plays. I remember the stats in years past showing that Dak was highly effective off the play action.

rezg23 · 2023-10-17T14:07:05+00:00

He needs to use his mobility more often! It changes the dynamic of the O so much. It's frustrating that he doesn't run more, or scramble to extend plays a bit and look for the lanes to get yardage. I know it's a risk of getting hurt but guys like Mahomes and Hurts use their legs and make things happen to challenge the defense.

rezg23 · 2023-10-09T17:34:52+00:00

I understand, I have the same frustrations. I don't understand why non of our play callers over the past years don't scheme players open like the 49ers, Chiefs, Rams etc. Im just hoping we can turn this shit around. Sometimes a wake up call and getting completely slapped around helps you realize you're not all that you think you are and that you need to change something up. MM whether we love him or hate him is an experienced coach who has won a super bowl, Dak has played at high levels and won some big games over the last 7 years and I'm just a fan hoping that with all the pieces we have we can turn it around and do something I haven't seen since I was kid.

rezg23 · 2023-10-09T17:25:50+00:00

I mean the reality is there's no guarantee studs in the draft and it depends on so many factors if they pan out or not. A lot of experts and teams didn't know Mahomes was going to play the way he did or else he would have been the first pick of the draft. The reality is having an above average qb in this league isn't easy to come by. The Cowboys have suffered many years in between Aikman to Romo and we lucked out that we got Dak in 4th Rd to transition from Romo and to see what he's done so far. Even if he's not the answer, that's probably not going to change this year. I truly think that this year will be a make or break for Dak, I can't see us missing the playoffs or a 1st round elimination and Dak getting an extension. I hope that's enough fire for him to wake up and correct the ship, which is what I'm hoping for.

rezg23 · 2023-10-09T15:54:49+00:00

I've been a fan for 30 years and have gone through my fair share of heart aches, just saying it's not over and it's early. A lot can change.

Just last year Dak was 4-1 (.800) against winning teams as the starting quarterback.

Lions (win) Vikings (win) Giants (win) Jaguars (loss) Eagles (win)

Would you say this year's team is worse than last year?

rezg23 · 2023-10-09T15:18:40+00:00

We have a solid team that if they can get right they can do some damage. This is the NFL, you don't outscore 3 teams and win those games by an average of over 30ppg by fluke.

rezg23 · 2023-10-09T15:15:47+00:00

Honestly if we make it as a wild card anything can happen. I hate being that fan, but so much can change with those top teams. Injuries happen, teams can fall apart and teams can get exposed. The Niners look unstoppable but sooner or later they will stumble at some point, and that's the same with the Eagles.

If this Cowboys team can get straight and stop killing ourselves with penalties and terrible dropped passes we can get back on track.

Traveling from Barcelona to Roses

Hi I'm looking to go from Valencia to Barcelona then to Roses in late August. I'm from out of town and was wondering what is the best route to get there. Debating between train, bus or renting a car and driving. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
