Cowboys Blow It, Lose To Cardinals In Overtime 19-13

And just like that... the winning streak is over. The Cowboys coughed up a late-game victory and watched the Arizona Cardinals easily march to midfield to start overtime. Then on 1st and 15 from Cardinals territory, Almost Anthony Spencer came close to sacking Kevin Kolb but couldn't; and he dumped a pass off to LaRod Stephens-Howling. The entire Cowboys defense, which looked shellshocked the entire drive and was only aided by Arizona penalties, allowed the third-down back to weave threw them all the way to the end zone to finish off the performance.
In the most inexplicable of endings, Jason Garrett and the Dallas Cowboys literally kept themselves from winning the game in regulation. On a huge third down play, Tony Romo found Dez Bryant at the Arizona Cardinals 31 yard line with 20 seconds remaining. Instead of calling for a timeout, and they had two remaining, the team let the clock run down to seven seconds before spiking the ball. On comes Dan Bailey for the game-winning kick, right? No problem, right? For some strange reason, Chris Boniol and Joe DeCamillis tell Jason Garrett to call for a timeout, even though the announcers stated the play clock was not in danger. The snap and kick happened, and it went straight through the uprights... only it didn't count. To be fair, the Cardinals didn't try to block that kick, as they seemed to hear the whistle when the key Cowboys didn't. To most watching, it appeared that Jason Garrett froze his own kicker.
On the re-kick, Dan Bailey missed for the second time in the game as the clock expired. Pending the post-game presser, this is going to go down as one of the most befuddling losses in recent Cowboys memory. As I write this, [UPDATE] Aaron Rodgers drives GB down the field in 58 seconds and they kick the game-winning field goal. [/UPDATE]

With the Giants loss, Dallas could have wrapped up the NFC East with a win next week. They didn't want it. The offensive line couldn't protect Romo, as the Cardinals sacked him five times. That was their high total for the season as well as the most times that Romo ate dirt. DeMarco Murray had a tough game, running for only 38 yards on 12 carries. He was outplayed by Felix Jones, who ran the rock six times for 36 yards and also caught a pass. Dez Bryant made several big plays, and also had two key passes knocked away from him even though he got both hands on them. He was locked in a duel with rookie cornerback Patrick Peterson for much of the game in a great battle.
DeMarcus Ware spent plenty of time in the second half on the sideline, after suffering a neck/shoulder injury late in the third quarter. He would be in and out, but mostly out, with the game on the line. The defense did enough to win, until that end of regulation miscue deflated them.
The Cowboys got off to a slow start, although they had every opportunity to put Arizona in a big hole early. Three drives inside Cardinals territory, including 2 inside their 36 resulted in no points. Dan Bailey missed his first kick in 27 opportunities when Mat McBriar appeared to give him a bad hold with the laces left on a 53 yard attempt. The Cardinals took the opportunity to move on a short field, making their own 48 yarder to move ahead 3-0. Outside of the yardage allowed though, the defense was giving incredible effort.
Dallas forced four three and outs in the first half, which allowed a struggling offense to stay in striking distance until late in the second quarter. Pinning Arizona deep inside their five and making them punt, Dallas finally capitalized on the great field position when Romo found Jason Witten crossing the middle of the field to get inside the Cards 10. Two plays later, a play action slant pass to Dez Bryant got Dallas in the end zone for a 10-3 halftime lead.
The Cardinals started off the second half in impressive fashion. They got Larry Fitzgerald involved with two big completions and also opened running room for the first time. A Kevin Kolb scramble took the ball to the Dallas five for a first and goal. That's when the defense appeared for the first time of the half, and invoked memories of the Thanksgiving effort against Miami. Dallas stopped their opponent for the fifth consecutive red zone trip when a third down QB sneak was just short and a false start came on the fourth down attempt. Arizona made a field goal to draw within 10-6.
Dallas would respond immediately marching down the field 65 yards for a matching field goal to stretch the lead back to 7. The drive featured Felix Jones, who was the Cowboys best running back most of the day and also threw in a huge 69 yard kickoff return that didn't turn into points. The Cowboys stalled after a jailbreak sacked Romo on first and the team wasn't able to overcome the down and distance.
Arizona got the ball back without much time left in the third after the two time-consuming drives. DeMarcus Ware was injured on the last play of the third, and on the fourth quarter opener, the Cardinals completed their biggest play of the game. Terence Newman was covering Andre Roberts in the slot, and after a half-hearted jam, Roberts faked a comeback and streaked to the left sideline where Kolb found him. A few plays later, Roberts was spinning out of a Mike Jenkins tackle and stiff-arming his way inside the five. Beanie Wells would punch it in from there to tie the ballgame at 13.
On the Cowboys next possession, they quickly moved to midfield. On third and five however, Tony Romo did a little dance as he searched for an open man and was eventually taken down to end the drive. McBriar's punt was perfect, pinning Patrick Peterson on the sideline at their own 20.
Arizona drove to midfield before having to punt, giving Dallas the ball back at their 20 with six and a half minutes remaining. After another Romo rollout, he found Laurent Robinson along the sideline. Robinson went high to reel in the catch, taking the ball to midfield, where the drive would stall. The Cowboys would punt when John Phillips was stopped a couple feet short of the marker, but downed the ball inside the Cardinals five yard line with just under four minutes left.
Dallas forced it's fifth three and out of the game, and the D thought it turned the ball over to Romo and the boys for their third-consecutive late-game victory. A huge Dez Bryant return inside the Cardinals 30 was nullified by Orlando Scandrick's second illegal block on a punt. Romo completed a pass to Jesse Holley, subbing for a tired Bryant, to the Dallas 45. A pass to Witten for no gain took us down to the two-minute warning. A completion over the middle to Kevin Ogletree was followed by a hurry-up QB sneak for the first down.
Then Dallas decided to start shooting at their own feet. Montrae Holland false start. First and 15. Incomplete pass moved it to second down. Romo is up at the line telling everyone who to block, and forgets that there's a play clock. Delay of game. Second and 20. A quick completion to Dez made it a manageable third and 11, and then Romo fired it to Dez for the huge completion. There were 25 seconds left at that point... with two timeouts remaining. Yet, the Cowboys walked up to the line of scrimmage and clocked it at the 31 with seven seconds left.
On a field where players had been slip-sliding all afternoon. On came Bailey, and the rest, just like the four-game winning streak, is history.
With the Giants loss, at least Dallas still has a one-game cushion in the NFC East. They will duke it out for first place next Sunday night back in Cowboys Stadium. This team has a lot to work on this week to be ready for that showdown.

never seen anything like it
I don’t know what any of those coaches were thinking. This loss is on all of them to ice your own kicker will never ever make any sense to me. It makes Jason Garrett look like the dumbest coach in america.

joe d and chris boniol told jg to call a timeout. apparently, there was something wrong.

Not at critical junctures of the game
The HC is responsible – plain and simple. He needs to maintain the situational awareness to know if a timeout is a good or bad decision at that point in the game. There really is no excuse.

But the real
mess up, was with 20 sec? left after Dez made that catch, we had two timeouts left and should have at least tried one or two more plays to get closer or who knows a play might have gone the distance.
Garrett said he wanted to insure no “negative” play(s) that might have made the kick more difficult or not possible….I just hate strategy of “play to not lose!”
Play to win, don’t play to not lose!!!!!!
If the play works, never run it again. If it fails, keep running it.
First and goal at the one. Run it three times in a row, and then kick a field goal. Sound familiar?

you'll actually notice that everyone on the Cardinals stopped
if we didn’t call a timeout and the play kept going, then they may have blocked it… you never know..
by NUHuskyCowboyMinutemanCeltic on Dec 4, 2011 7:51 PM CST up reply actions
Possibly
but what are the odds they block the FG as compared to the kicker just missing after being iced? What do you think the Cards staff thinks – that they wished the TO wasn’t called so they’d have a better chance of blocking it?
by Tyrone Jenkins on Dec 4, 2011 7:53 PM CST up reply actions
I'm saying we may not have been set up the right way
And if that play had played out they may have run in untouched for a clean block… That’s why we called a timeout….

You're right
them blocking the FG was clearly a large possibility.

Absolute bull. Garrett should have called a TO immediately after Dez's catch.The real question is why is he learning
now what other coaches learned in high school. 2 plays and 2 to’s left to get Bailey closer. Garrett’s late game stupidity cost a win, a win that could have been very important on Jan 1. Garrett freezes in crunch time. Hell, he froze for 2 qtrs against Detroit. Totally inexcuseable. Tan, there is no better example of a loss NOT being a team loss. This is ALL on Garrett.

Although I agree with just about everything you said...
…I disagree with this not being a team loss.
Felix didn’t even look for a pass that should have been a td. Not on JG.
Scandrick’s penalties. Not on Garrett.
Spotty protection for Romo leading to 5 sacks. Not on Garrett, necessarily. I think the oline execution should take credit for most of it.
Tnew’s downright crappy play all night. Not on Garrett.
Bailey’s missed FG’s (especially the first one), not on Garrett. I’d like to add, one may very well have been a horrible hold, so maybe it’s not even on Bailey.
JG blew it when he didn’t call a TO with 25+ seconds left.
But make no mistake about it, this was a team loss. Always is.

they’ve been the weak point in the past but not today. Our offense should have scored more than 13 points in regulation

They gave up 13 points in regulation and on many of the sacks, Kolb had time to throw
but couldn’t find open receivers. The secondary is our weak point, as it has been for years, but I don’t blame them today.
"How 'Bout them Cowboys!"---Jimmy Johnson
"...and the Cowboys...STUN the Bills!"--ESPN MNF
the secondary
was consistently playing 7-8 yards off their man the entire game. No one can press the receivers or jam them at the line. We consistently give the opposing WR room to breathe, as if we don’t trust our safety help enough if our CB’s get beat off the line.
In order to play a tough 3-4 scheme, you have to have corners that can man up and press their man. You can not play scared, as we do with our secondary.

when a kicker gets
To attempt a kick even when a time out is called it benefits the kicker. Especially when the attempt is good. It’s basically a free practice kick.

I can understand the Murray love.
But really? He wasn’t successful on that slippery turf against a physical defense.
My most recent fanpost:
The Weekly Chessmatch: Cowboys @ Eagles
At one point Murray was averaging 5.6 ypc....
and he only got the ball 6 more times during the game. Murray is a beast and seems to get stronger the more he gets the rock. He didn’t run the ball that well against Miami but he got us tha yards when we needed it. I cannot believe that he only got the ball 12 times. Did Romo even throw to him? I believe that this game was VERY POORLY coached, and the play selection was atrocious.
Here's nother tidbit:
Murray doesn’t look for the sideline when he runs. He looks for contact, and the possibility of picking up a couple extra yards. In effect, he keeps the clock moving. I have to go back and rewatch, but this is something Felix does not do. I know for sure Felix was responsible for stopping the clock a couple times. May not be the biggest deal in the world, but it certainly has an impact.

Why are we
getting on Dan Bailey? Its not his fault for this
Seriously?
It’s Garrett’s fault. 100%.

It's nobody dude
That was pure luck!! The ball just doesn’t bounce our way in that stadium… What if Bailey had missed the first one (which by the way, I think the fact that nobody was trying to block it had a lot to do with him making it; he rushed the second one) and made the second one? He would be a genius for calling that time out. This happens in the NFL, Garrett and Romo gotta be better on time management and should’ve called that timeout instead of spiking it but it happens.. we’ve been on the other side of these games
That was FAR from his fault.

Yes we have seen anything like it!! How about the last two times we played in that stadium?
Relax everyone!! I can’t believe people are calling for Garrett’s head, when we are still leading the division. We stole the last two games, they stole this one. We are still in the thick of things, Garrett and Romo gotta be smarter but we are still in it. And say what you want about Romo in Dec. He’s playing lights out. Bailey will be alright…

but he’s a young coach learning. The Giants just spent themselves losing to the Packers at home. That loss did matter for the Giants because they are still behind the Cowboys.

This is December. We are lucky if we split the next 4 games and go 9-7.
We’ve beaten one team with a winning record. That really tanslates into an 8-8 OR AT BEST 9-7 TEAM. We need secondary help so bad. If D Ware isn’t in there and we get no pass rush, and the secondary is pathetic. The Cardinals are a better defensive team than we are. T New made their WRs look like All-Pros. Jenkins had Fitzgerald all afternoon.

Garrett's Decision-making
His decisionmaking was horrendous tonight and has been on other occasions. How do you not use your timeouts and then ice your own kicker? Please explain this to me!
I can't stand this team!!!!!!!!!
We are sub 500 football team. PERIOD. We have not beaten anyone of significance, yet we lose to crappy teams. And don’t feed me on “well Arizona is a much improved team.” They suck and so do we. We have some good players, but man of them are old and it shows. What Newman did in OT was so STUPID. He’s been around long enough to know that you need to play situational football. JG is a moron for calling a TO to ice our kicker but not one at 20 something seconds left to try and get a few more yards. THAT WOULD HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!!!!! We need to realize that we can probably make the playoffs, but to think we are capable of winning when we get there is pure homerism. I believe JG is the right coach for this team and Romo is our QB. The problem is our D. we have not had a quality CB since Dieon for christsake or a good safety since Woodson (except a few years from RW). We need some help in the secondary and up front. We never should’ve let JJ Watt go in the 4th. I honestly believe that next year and beyond we can compete for a championship but not until we upgrade our secondary.
All we are doing right now is falling down the draft chart and positioning ourselves for a first round exit from the playoffs.

Some people haven't completely mastered statistics.
Clearly, our friend doesn’t understand what “SUB 500” stands for.
Maybe the whole team only averages 497 footlongs per season?

No need to copy and paste this from the game thread.
And JJ Watt didn’t go in the 4th.
If this team was coached by a coach
That knew how to manage a game. The Dallas Cowboys would have one loss.
except that we've won most of the close games

Some of the close games should not have been so close
And most of the loses, were “in the bag”.

The same thing happened in SF...
But no one questioned Garrett since Bailey hit the tying FG in regulation. I would expect better game management from Garrett than this. After Dez catches the 3rd Down conversion, if Romo is stupid enough not to call one of his 2 timeouts with time left, it’s up to Garrett to call timeout.

right when Garrett called that time out what a bucking moron
Yeah like he knew bailey was gonna make it and said let's call a timeout to make it harder for him

Time Out
I think JG was just trying to make up for not calling a time out on the previous play when we could have taken a shot at the endzone. JG, and the entire coaching staff, seemed to be playing about 45 seconds behind all day.

Did you see Walker with that ugly hold at the end of the game?
It’s because he was about to get smoked off the line. Give him a bigger role in the defense, and it only gets worse from here on out. Walker’s a has-been. We desperately need to address our secondary concerns in the draft. Sensabaugh sucks in coverage too.
Wins are the best medicine...the ultimate cure-all.
Scandrick is part of the problem. He's not the answer.

What is it about the AZ Cardinals
It’s called scheme. It’s a coaching thing. Garrett gets out coached by good coaches.
And why didn't Garrett use a timeout
with 22 seconds left had 2 left get it closer for Bailey. Could of got a couple runs in.
that will be the main topic of the week

to me that was bigger than the timeout he did call
He needs to make an effort to be more aware of to remaining and game clock
That and...
Why this offense can’t score more than 13 points against this team. Yes the secondary sucked at times but if I told you we would hold the Cardinals to 13 points we would take it

If Garrett managed the games the way he should. this team would have one loss.
Yeah, it sucks.
Mostly because we had a clean snap, hold, and kick.

He's not the problem but...
he missed the kick. Good snap, good hold, missed the kick. I don’t blame him or Garrett for the loss. No win or loss should be put on one person in a team game. There was plenty of blame to go around for everyone.
something weird always seems to happen in the stadium
im not concerned about this game. we lost. the season isn’t over. we still have games to play. a 10-6 record will do it for us, split with the giants and win the rest of them.
anyone know the clinching scenarios for us?
This game only proves the Law of Averages...
If anything we can expect a big game next week
Newsflash!! Talentwise yes, we are average
But the reason we are winning close games is because we got heart and determination!! See if you can say that about last year..

Very ugly performance by the Cowboys. I have no idea why they ran the clock down with 2 timeouts. And then if that’s bad enough, to actually ice your own kicker. Arizona won their superbowl for the third straight year.

It's easy to focus on mistakes at the end of the game
but multiple missed opportunities and errors.

thats a
no brainer, it makes no sense. Unless Bailey likes 49 yarders more than 45 or 46 yarders. this is baffling
Texas Stadium has a hole in the roof so God can watch his favorite team play football.
49 yard fg is never a gimme.
I don’t care how good of a kicker you are.
especially since Bailey already missed a long one earlier
"Confidence doesn't come out of nowhere. It's a result of something... hours and days and weeks and years of constant work and dedication." --Roger Staubach
Isn't it obvious?
Bailey struggles when he kicks off grass. Case in point: Last miss prior to this week was in SF (on grass).
Wins are the best medicine...the ultimate cure-all.
True,
But all of his misses have come off grass. Perfect off of turf. Small sample size, true, but nonetheless….
Wins are the best medicine...the ultimate cure-all.
Just saying it's a coincidence.
Kicked 6 field goals on grass so I don’t think grass is the problem. Also kicks 20-30 of them in warmups.

I can’t help but want to root for one side or other other, makes the game more interesting, but in this case it depends so much on what still remains that’s it’s hard to know what outcome is better for us.

While I’m upset about the loss, there’s no point in standing on the ledge. Last year at this time, we were hoping just to stay in the game.
last year we were debating how high our draft position would be

Yeah, let's be happy about this loss instead. Let's be happy with the slimmest of leads in the division, with four games left, three of them against division rivals, two of them left against the Giants who are nipping at our heels.
Sure. Let’s rejoice the fact that we lost to a sub-par team even though we should have put the game away several times. Let’s be happy that our playoffs will probably start week 17 now.
Let’s not think anything negative, because that obviously makes us less-than-worthy fans.

I just followed the game on the Tracker, but I’m ready to set myself on fire.
Bad clock management is unforgivable in high school, let alone the pros.
Also, it seems the 1st down sacks were real drive killers today. Did Romo have changes to throw those away?

played ok, no running game, bad play calling, and hurt receivers. this is not on him by any means. also he put us in position to win again. and we did… oh wait we called a t/o so we didnt.. ughh

Your december "same old story" is what is BS.
2 of the last 3 years, Romo was either out or injured. Last year we fired our HC/DC. Only 2 seasons ago we went 3-2 in december and won a playoff game.
There is no december pattern for this team. You make me sick and make me wonder if you even follow the history of the Cowboys.

Leave With This Thought...
We have the same record as Denver, and the guy who everyone says is a worthless QB. So what does that say about our “QB”?
thats hes good and the reason we've been winning most of our games?
that he has the support of a great defense and romo, not so much?
what are you trying to say man?
Not this old crap again.
The D allowed 13 points in regulation. Dallas’ D is 10th in points allowed per game, and Denver’s great D is 23rd. Dallas’ D is 11th in yards allowed per game and Denver’s great D is 24th.
I’m not saying that this loss is Romo’s fault, but it’s ridiculous to keep trying to blame the D.

converted a 3rd n 11 to put us in position to win. our o-line was terrible. how is this romo’s fault? did he turn the ball over? did we have a running game?

For icing the kicker, missing tackles, not blocking are the worst! Without Romo we wouldnt be 7-5 we’d be luck to be 5-7 at this point.

i agree with people calling joe d an idiot, but Garrett is too.

Why the change from Romo holding snaps?
Bailey had hit 26 in a row so you switch holders to mcbriar and the guy misses 2 kicks. Another great coaching move at a boy JG
he was just filling in until McB's foot nerve would allow him to resume the duties
you don’t really want your starting QB holding kicks regularly

The starting QB holding kicks was the way it was in Dallas for a long time.
But I do wonder about bringing McB back in to do it before he was 100% ready.
On the first miss, McB looked angry like he knew it was his fault just like the NYG miss.
"I'm huunngray. I want some f**ken french tooast!"
For sure. Bailey even looked at him a little funny...

first this team never comes out focused, always playing down to the incompetence of their opponent
second: once again half-time adjustments smacked this team in the face like mandingo on a money shot.
third: clock management continues to be a recurring hassle. not only in late game situations but throughout the game. how many times must the team take 40 seconds to line up and snap the ball? it makes it so much easier for the defense to tee off.
fourth: the secondary is a mess. no playmakers. no one can press, no one can ballhawk, playing soft coverage on 3rd and shorts and such. too many dumb penalties. Andre Roberts had 600 some odd yards in two years prior to this game. He got 1/6 of that today against Newman
Time to tool up the secondary. Next year i think Nagy and Arkin can mask the interior o-lines weakness. but this secondary needs a major overhaul in the worst way

i didn’t see the game … was there pressure on kolb in the 2nd half? are dbs being asked to cover too long?
no the db's just suck
i mean if the pass rush played any better Kolb would be on his back every play. Any pass he didnt complete was because he threw a poor ball.
There was one play Jenkins broke up and that was it. Secondary has gotten shredded by some of the more inferior QB’s and passing attacks out there. Newman got destroyed by Andre Roberts. It was so bad they were bunching up on Fitzgeralds side so they could get Newman one on one against Roberts with no safety help and of course he got torched

I do hope I'm not bunched in with the idiots coming out in droves when we lose
I’m just a lurker to amped up to sleep :(
not only newman
but we need to replace spencer. D-ware goes out with an injury a few times throughout the game and you think spencer would step up and make a play? No course thats asking too much….we have one legit pass rusher on this defense, one and that doesn’t help matter when we got a secondary that couldn’t cover the lawn chairs in my backyard
to be honest, he almost got to Kolb several times
like when he almost sacked him before he threw it to Hyphen. Good thing sacks count just as much as 2 yard losses on the run or he would be useless

None if this matters....
I know it may feel good for everyone to vent…same for the Giants fans. We all need to face reality….each of our teams has a few more games to play and then whoever limps into the playoffs will get their ass beat.
The Arizona Cardinals….are you kidding me….if we are a legit team it shouldn’t even be close….we are healthy and have incentive to win and lay an egg. Kevin Kolb is not good and hasn’t played in forever. WE SUCK…WILL ARE NOT CONTENDERS. Our offense is average at best….against an average defense we can’t move the ball or protect the quarterback.
Nothing to get excited about.

But they've also won at SF in OT, had a game winning drive against Miami and Washington
beat Washington in OT, so the law of averages have balanced out. Why is the standard for the Cowboys that they are expected to win every close game?

We wont underestimate the Giants now ... next weeks game will be
best barometer of where the 2011 Cowboys stand. I’m expecting a lot from the Cowboys next week, to prove how much “heart” (and brains) they really have.
You bet they are looking forward to the giants too. I don't see anybody on this team feeling sorry for themselves
They’ll just come back work harder and fight harder. I see heart in this team. Bailey was a little sad but im sure somebody will go up to him and tell him that he’s won us bunch of games and we’ll need him. And he’ll also be back stronger. Belief in each other, it’s an underrated part of being a team. Don’t believe me? Ask the eagles?
I hate to say it, but if you have to wait until week 14 to determine what a team is, especially when they are so inconsistently up and down, they are just that:
Inconsistent. In other words, probably not hoisting a Lombardi this year.

by Tyrone Jenkins on Dec 4, 2011 7:38 PM CST up reply actions
He took the timeout, at the moment that seemed like the safest thing to do
having his two coaches in his ear telling him to take it…
Besides, are you a sooth sayer that knew he’ll make the second one and not the next one?
I didn't know he'd even GET a 1st one
But when the TO was taken, I thought AZ had called it. Didn’t think much to it. But when I found that Dallas had taken it, I immediately wondered why it wasn’t called 15 secs earlier so that the Boys could run another play to get closer.
But, calling a TO due to your asst coach telling you to is bad to me. JG needs to have the situational awareness to know that a TO at that point (with adequate tmie on the playclock, etc.) might not be best. I could see it if the Boys had only 10 players on the field, but that wouldn’t be the 1st time they’ve run a ST play w/ 10 players.
All I’m sayin is that if Bailey goes out an misses and a TO isn’t called, it’s all good, he just missed. But if he misses AFTER JG calls a TO, it oloks bad.
You honestly don’t agree?

I'm glad he trusts his special teams specialists
To make special special teams decisions. I mean, would it be surprising to you if they had a better understanding of the psychology of a kicker?
My most recent fanpost:
The Weekly Chessmatch: Cowboys @ Eagles
let's be real
I’m aware that the TO did not cause Bailey to miss the FG as there are several different factors to be considered. The hold, the crowd noise, hell even the air blowing from the air conditioning system. But, most of all, it’s the manner Bailey struck the ball.
I don’t know what the specific reason or reasons are but the ball didn’t go through the uprights. The TO COULD have been a contributing factor.
But if you don’t call a TO at the point, then NOT calling one is certainly not going to contribute as it’s the natural timing of the game. If Bailey needs a TO before every kick, then there’s something wrong.
by Tyrone Jenkins on Dec 4, 2011 8:16 PM CST up reply actions
Really? The psychology of their kicker was on their minds?
You sound so dumb right now.
The fact of the matter is, if there was no time out called, the ball would have been hiked, and kicked through the uprights.
Instead, a TO that should have been called as soon as Dez came down with the ball was called right before our kicker drilled the game-winner instead. After which, we tried to kick it again, and it missed.
This is fact.

Giants coming up next they haven’t lost in Dallas new stadium since it opened. This Cowboys team hasn’t really looked great in awhile. Secondary, offensive line, special teams has struggled some. Coaching today in my mind blew this game big time. Giants looked good today in there loss. Total opposite for this Cowboys team didn’t look good at all. Hopefully Miles Austin comes back and Fia he is a great fullback.

2010 – Romo out for the year, Kitna starting, HC/DC fired.

I often worry about my mental health because of my fandom. (j/k). I understand everyone’s complaints and frustrations. I would have called the timeout after Dez’s catch too. At the end of today we are in first place in the NFC with 4 more games to either win the division or pack our bags for Cancun. This team still has a lot of room to improve and I hope to enjoy the ride with the rest of you. All that said, I think we should fire everyone and let the BtB crew run the Cowboys.

I want to add...
I know that no matter how much moaning and groaning I do, it will never most likely never reach anyone of any authority within the Cowboys organization who can do anything to quell my complaints. I guess the “demand” part I mentioned was more of internal thing. I mean, this is the Cowboys we’re talking about, right? America’s Team?
The bar has been set.
There’s no room for complacency.
There should be no excuses.
The only part of what you said that I don’t agree with is this:
I’ll take the progress of this year over the lackluster 2010 season any day.
The bar was not set for me at “anything above or better than 2010”, so I cannot agree with you. I want more, but also understand it’s not always going to be smooth sailing. I just want the things within control to be correctly controlled, and random occurrences dealt with in a logical fashion.
Progress or not, there are fundamental things that are wrong or odd…inexplicable occurrences that keep happening within this organization- and make no mistake, they permeate all the way through the organization, from top to bottom. From the owner himself to the staff under him to the employee hiring/firings to media headlines involving players and general media spotlight, etc etc etc., and for some strange reason they somehow manifest onto the field and take many forms- bad bounces, for a while it was missed fgs, poor tackling, odd interceptions, inconsistent line play, a safety losing the WR running next to him who just caught the ball, a running back being stripped for a TD in the seconds before halftime on an inexplicable play call during a rivalry game, more recently it was a running back losing a perfect touchdown pass thrown to him, and then of course the mismanaged clock/timeout situation earlier. I could name more, but won’t. Fact is, it’s insane sometimes!
I though, for one, see a pattern. Not in the things that happen, of course. I mean, the crazy part is, these occurrences are completely random, odd, fluke things…but they happen so often it’s almost expected that a random, odd, fluke thing is going to happen. I look around and I don’t see these things happening near as much to other teams, nor do I see other teams play in close games (margin within < three points) near as often as the Cowboys.
I just want to know why. lol

But make no mistake, there is 2 road stops at this point that we dont have a prayer to win. too many question marks still on this team . damn T-New just had to join Ball in suktitude valley.

I agree that it was bad clock management, but firing him is a bit of a knee-jerk. Look at how he has turned this team around. I would take a Garrett-coached team over a Wade-coached team any day.

And Felix did more with his. How is that featured more? You mean he DID more? That I believe.

that felix was in more plays. After the last drive against miami I think Murray deserves the important carries no matter how bad his avg is. It only takes one run to make it change

I really hope we draft good defensive players this year
I love the Cowboys, but our secondary is killing us.
by me gusta on Dec 4, 2011 7:36 PM CST via mobile reply actions
yeah secondary
just not lookin good. Thought Jenkins played well though.
I was going to root for Lions but will now root for Saints.
At least we are still in 1st place. If we don’t beat the Giants then we just don’t plain deserve to be in playoffs. But I still think we can take them.
QUICK POINTS:
1. Jenkins and Scandrick are our best corners.
2. We need Fiametta.
3. Did Folk have a point when he complained about McBriar’s holds?
4. ST coaches told Garrett to call timeout. They should explain themselves.
5. With the exception of DWare our pass rush is questionable. Perhaps we should blitz more??
Lots of gut wrenching wins and heart breaking losses this year. It’s always the same with these cowards when we lose. Blame Romo. Blame Garret. Blame Jerry Jones.
but why didn't garrett use a timeout
with 22 second left to get it closer for Bailey?
1. might be why we extended scandrick that early, newman probably won’t be back
2. painfully obvious
3. I’ve been thinking that a long time
4. buck stops with the HC
5. I still can’t whine about the D, 13 pts in regulation
by Elv on Dec 4, 2011 7:40 PM CST up reply actions
been hanging by a thread
the last couple weeks, finally caught up. 13 points isn’t going to cut it. Having 2 timeouts and not using them is not going to cut it either. Inexcusable time management. You practice all week, game plan, practice some more and then fall flat on your face (coaches that is).
can't we not just post that gif of the girl in her underwear
so i can pretend we won and go to bed
Wow
A Cowboys loss and no one is blaming Romo? Had hell frozen over?
Tough loss, they should have won it. Now time to regroup and take it out on the Giants. Their WRs vs our secondary scares me, so they NEED to pressure Eli all damn day. Time for a new winning streak!!

I have just accepted the fact that the cowboys will always have losses is like this. This is the type of team they are. They will look really good 1 week and then look terrible the next. But as of right now they are in first place by 1 whole game. I am satisfied with that. But like you said if they don’t play like that next week, they will get crushed.

We could go 1-3 the last 4.hate to be negative but Eli can put up points and Vick already killed us.TB could be our only win
could also go 4-0 in the last 4
but then that’s why they play the games don’t they?

That’s a good way to make their pass rush back off so we can exploit their secondary. Oh yeah, and our O-line will have to actually block against NYG.
Wins are the best medicine...the ultimate cure-all.
the way the Giants played
they’ll beat us by 2 tds next week – hoping this game took a lot out of them. We will not beat them scoring 13 points.
Giants will score in the 30's on our D

i don’t know anymore. This team has struggled in December and this obviously isn’t a good start.
Mr "situational football" needs to take responsibility
The timeout call doesnt anger me nearly as much as not calling a timeout after dez’s catch and trying to get more yards! Thats unnaceptable. they had just witnessed bailey miss one long kick and get lucky making another off the cross bar. Yet he was fine sitting on two timeouts and kicking a 49 yard fg? WTF type of thinking is that.

Right.

the only reason can be a fear of a fumble right, it’s a judgement call that he probaly got wrong, just like the “icing” TO.
the more i think about it, i can’t believe bailey missed it by that much
he didnt miss it by much. another 5-10 yards and that same kick makes it.
they could have called a play action after dezs catch, the cards would be looking for a run up the gut. wtf

13 points against the Cards
is pathetic i agree. Alot of Jason Garrett’s play calling makes no sense to me.
about the running backs
how much did murray do before running over miami at the enf of the last drive last week, we fed him and he came good, why go away from that game plan?
Also, Orlando Scandrick deserves to be slapped for his 2 blocks in the back penalties
the one at the end of the game took the ball from the cardinals 25 and back to our 30.Baily would have been in close range and or the cowboys would have scored a td there. But no Scandrick has to run into someones back TWICE in one game. Just get the F… out of the way

True everytime i see highlights of the Cowboys game today
Announcers are laughing after the last 30 seconds or so. Dallas had 2 timeouts but they decide to not run another play and try a 49 yard field goal which is no gimmie. Then of course Bailey kicks it right down the middle and you see Garrett running to the ref to call time out. Something you would usually only see if the opposing kicker is kicking. Course i do see Joe D running up to Garrett to call a timeout i don’t know. What a disappointing end to this game though.

For some reason, I feel like we were a bit overconfident
I understand we don’t want to rush Miles back, but to think we could afford this game with him was being a bit overconfident. Also, I understand they were stacking the line, but we were 2 to 1 passes to rushes. Why did we feel the need to involve Felix so much? His yards per carry were better, but don’t we need to feed the ball to Murray? No passes to Murray that I can think of. This game felt weird at the onset and never changed.
Yeah
The way arz was racing up the field to get romo, you’d think a screen or two would work. I don’t remember any screen calls
Next week is now critical
If the Giants win they will be tied for the division lead. Their 2 games after that are extremely winnable Jets and Redskins. We have to play tough games against the Eagles and Tampa Bay.
Gotta’ win next week or we’re in deep trouble.

still too many wholes in the D, the oline is not ready and the WR’s are not on cue with the qb’s…….as sad as it is…..I hope for better draft position after the last 5 weeks…….we’ve veen winning vut too close against crappy opponents…….
We are still improving though
If you look at this team last year, where did you think we would be right now? We are in a kind of mini rebuild because wade killed our team, and I think that leading the division at this point in the season is an impressive improvement. Of course there will be holes, we’ve only had one draft and a lockout shortened off season to fix everything. Let’s see where we are next year and see if we have continued to get better. I am happy with where we are compared to last year.

Two, I think...
but, he wasn’t the problem… On balance, I thought he had a good day… He came up big on the catch at the end of the game. That was a tough catch, against double coverage. Peterson was playing outside (trailing) and they had a safety over the top ready to crash down on the deep dig (cross). Dez did a good job of crossing the face of the safety after he beat Peterson to the break point of the route.

Honestly games like these are so hard to take. We just didn’t need to lose it. We had it won. It would have been ugly like the last 3, but dang it, it was won. We kicked the fg. This one’s on the coaching staff, plain and simple. I hate to say it, but JG doesn’t have all the skills necessary for real contention. Not this year.

Good point
Just never looked in sync and that OL was getting Romo killed
Well Garrett has moments where I ask WTH is he doing?
Call a timeout with 14 seconds left. Run another run play pick up some yards to make it easier and call another time out. Kick the FG and win. You made it way to complicated. He played what if he doesn’t snap is clean and the clock keeps running game. Don’t worry about the worst. Set yourself up to win not what if’s.

Romo
can someone explain to me whhy we had two timeouts remaining and Romo rushed to the line to spike the ball? Why not just call one of two timeouts and not worry about rushing off a kick?
Also, he took at least one sack on 3rd down that he absolutely did not need to. He could have run for a first. I like Romo but I feel like everyone has beaten out of him his confidence to scramble for a first.
Also, on that 3rd down completion to Phillips he had a WR open for a sure 1st.
Oh well, I know I am getting picky, but it seemed Romo could have done a better job at the end. Its whats the difference between a good team and a SB team.

Man if u think Romo was the reason for the lost your bugging
Billion dollar dream and hundred dollar nightmares
Romo should not have hurried to the line only to spike the ball
That’s insane. What is the point of that? Call a timeout, let the kicker set up in a relaxed atmosphere.
And he did miss an open receiver that would have converted that 3rd down and he did take a sack unnecessarily.

After hearing the press conference, I'm letting Romo a little off the hook for not calling a TO.
Big Red is still in the doghouse with me, though. He should have for sure. The whole thing is just very disappointing.

thanks for your
perspective. I agree that our expectations are exceedingly high because of our winning tradition and history. I too have high expectations for this team annually. I am also perplexed by the fluke incidents that seem to happen regularly to/for our boys. My take on this is the converse to the adage that you make your own good luck. I subscribe to the idea that good luck favors the bold. The corollary to that is that bad luck and misfortune favor the timid. Organizationally, it seems like the team tends to expect good things will come to them because of the star on their helmet rather than going out and forging their own legacy and adding to the Stars’ luster!
Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

just watched it again,
there were 24 seconds when the play was over and they did NOTHING, dumdfreaking unbelievable. Joe D Freaking Camillias should get on the stand and say what the heck he wanted the timeout for. People get fired in the real world for this crap.
the really bad thing is looking at the reply, Garrett had no idea what was going on. Confused, nobody knew what the heck was going on, 10 days off and they didn’t know they had 2 timeouts or didn’t have someone in they wanted or weren’t able to run a field goal play with a full 40 second playclock.
all the communications in the world between
coaches and they didn’t know what to do after getting a 1st down with 2 FREAKING timeouts remaining.
imagine if this team had a real HC?
JG should be fired TONIGHT! not only for the bonehead mismanagement calls but for refusing year after year to run the ball. 12 touches for DM unbelievable!! Almost every time Romo throws more than 40 times cowboys lose this has been happening throughout JG’s OC tenure, year after year after year. It’s gotta stop. THAT’s why he should be fired. Against ARI to boot! we weren’t even trailing during the game. I really don’t get what is so difficult with sticking with the run. Imagine if we had a Coughlin type coach, who actually knows what he’s doing … Forgot the Boys this year guys, it’s just circumstances we’re in first this late in the year, it’ll correct itself. Starting next week. Can’t even get the players fired up vs a losing team for a 2 game lead in the nfc east… after a 10 day break!… sad….
Nice try
Garrett tried the run game. It kept on failing.
Yes, Garrett is the only coach to lose on the road against a losing team. Clearly he should be fired then banished to the shadow realm
kept on failing??
it kept failing after 12 touches to DM really? vs ARI’s vaunted rush defence?? well if it did the game plan, which he had 10 days to prepare, failed. same difference.

People who hate Romo find away to blame every loss on him
He made the pass to Dez, put us in a postition to win, Garrett should have called the T.O. The head coach puts together a plan if they convert or get in field goal range. The QB just doesn’t make random decisions on whether he should spike it or call a T.O.

I don't hate Romo. Nor have I "blamed ANY loss" on him, including this one. Ever.
Now put your Romo crush aside long enough to come to the realization that as the Quarterback, the leader of the offense, it is your job to know the game situation and the best decisions that need to be made in order to win. He did not make them.
It is also the Head Coach’s responsibility to know the game situation, and to make the best decisions in order to secure a W. He did not make them either.

I like the part that says between 45-55 yards, there is a 10% decrease in FG success.
Hmmm. 49 yard FG try. Preceded by at least 22 seconds to call a timeout and run at least 3 more plays before putting your kicker on the field.
Epic fail. Double face palm. And all those other internet pictures to describe what Garrett did at the end of regulation.

that’s fine i have no problem w/ that what i take issue w/ is if nobody is throwing insults ur way please don’t tell other’s how they should react.
name something u sit in.. chair.. try again.. big chair.. nope that's the same thing try again.. high chair.. that's still a chair.. chair.. say something other than chair.. what if i can't think of anything.. u can pass.. how do i pass.. just say it.. say what.. say pass.. chair
should be two
Course Garrett put a stop to that with the timeout but oh well.
wouldn't make a difference if the niners and saints have a better record obviously.
all what matters right now is keeping ahead of division.
uh ok
But still a 2 game lead would be nice. And to give away a game like this will most likely come back to bite the cowboys.
sure guy... sure. cant get too cocky now. i dont care as long as they win division and beat the giants.
i already knew the cards were gonna make us struggle. they always do.
same here
Just the Giants haven’t had a loss in Dallas for awhile now. Going to be a tough game. Especially coming off a loss like this hopefully they bounce back.
Have you noticed
how the Giants always play us tough? Even if they are 2-6, they will find a way to get up for our game and beat us.
Still 1 up
The whole NFC East is a mess this year.We are lucky that everyone else in our division is up and down as well.Who knows what Cowboys team will show up against the Giants but we should remember that the Giants have also looked terrible at times this year so what Giants team shows up?We can still take them

I've said for a long time
Garrett is a decent coach but is very inexperienced. He makes a lot of poor decisions that betray his lack of understanding of game management. Today we saw several decisions where he was clearly confused or panicked.
What was most frustrating was seeing our offense score 13 points on one of the worst defenses in the league. That’s just embarrassing.
Do you think getting a playcaller would help?
That way he is solely focusing on head coaching decisions.

great point bro
Houston is one of the best defenses in football. And have lost some star players on that side of ball but still playing great.
Yeah
I think he needs a playcaller. I’ve seen several patterns in his playcalling, and I’m sure other defenses have seen it too. He also needs a game manager, because his understanding of rick and reward is backwards. He gets cautious when he should attack, takes chances when he should throttle back. I do like the organization and discipline he’s brought to the team, but he’s green and it shines through at times, like today.
great post Kindablue
well said couldn’t agree more.
about his risk/reward..this is very good.
I have noticed it as well. I would like to her from JG what his thought process is, but unfortunately he is not very honest, open or upfront on that sort of thing. I sort of understand, since it may give away some sort of ‘strategy’, but his risk/reward thinking seems very off to me sometimes or confused.
Like his choices earlier in the game about going for it on 4th and 1 or trying a FG, and then 4th and 11 from same spot deciding to punt the next time.
Thought 4th and 1 risk reward favored going for it, and 4th and 11 favored the long FG. He got both wrong IMO. Same with his choice at end of game NOT to take a TO and settle instead for a long FG when his fG kicker had been unsteady in the game.

Garrett's quotes from the presser
"We very well could have taken a timeout there, we felt like we were in field-goal range. We have yard lines that we use as guidelines before the game. We felt like we were in range at that point.:
"You see so many situations where you have negative plays in those situations. We felt like we were in his range to give him a chance to kick the game-winner."
It wasn’t exactly a chip shot. Settling for a 49 yard field goal is not something I could see most NFL coaches doing.
Jason has to fall on his sword there and take the blame. Instead he chose to deflect blame.
Man up dude!

The problem with the second line is
with a negative play, the worse case scenario is that you go into overtime. With a FG over 50 yards there is probably an equal guarantee of making that kick, or getting closer with a pass or run.

Yep. It was 1st down after the Dez catch with 25 seconds and 2 time outs.
Call a time out, run a play, and even if we lose yards it is still only 2nd down with another time out in our pocket. And like you said, we could still go to OT anyway.
Do ya’ll remember a few years ago when we were 2 scores down against the giants with 29 seconds left? We scored, recovered the onsides kick and scored again to win.
"I'm huunngray. I want some f**ken french tooast!"
I couldn't believe his press conference.
Just admit you lost this team the game coach. 49 yards for any kicker especailly a rookie is no gimmie. You got 2 timeouts to run Murray and get it closer and you don’t? You try to use the excuse of well could of turned the ball over big bucking deal. You still need to get closer for the kicker you don’t settle for a 49 yarder with that much time and 2 timeouts. And he is the first coach ever to ice his kicker. Wtf does he even mean wanted to set up for a clean operation. I can see calling a timeout if you got to many men on the field. But Dallas was set and ready to go kick went right down the middle.
Exactly
You call a timeout if you have too many men on the field, or the play clock is going to expire or something. Not just “because”. At least look at what’s happening on the field. In fact, under those circumstances, nobody has a chance to “think”, they are just reacting and letting their muscle memory take over. That’s why the kick under duress what straight down the middle and the “iced” kick was horrendous.
Getting iced by your own coach has to be worse for the kicker than anything. Ugh.
One problem with Garrett
Is he almost never admits he made a mistake, even when it’s obvious. He’s clearly image-conscious and appears to be a little insecure. The only mistake he ever admitted was trying the Hail Mary at the end of the first half against Washington last year, which cost us the game. Even then it was two days afterwards, when the media and public outcry was so loud it could no longer be ignored.

wonder what Jerry Jones is thinking
anyone heard anything from him?
Jerry said
"We had an alternative. We could have run two, possibly three more plays there, but we have a lot of confidence in that kicker. It didn’t work. We all would have liked to have had 20 more yards. But that’s really speculating as to what we’d have done with the ball."

Honestly, this statement is perfect. Bravo, Mr. Jones (for once)

I see most of you are looking at the coaching for this game loss but I see it differently
Dallas lacks the personel to be an upper echelon team.Yes, some decisons made by the coaches derailed the team. So did Bailey, missing two today.
This team is missing some key players that should help tremendously going forward. Austin and our beloved fullback. We need them back yesterday!!!
We also need ONE MORE excellent pass rusher on the Dline. Another two good CB’s to replace Newman and cover 5 wides. A mean nasty Center and guard. Our O line was pourous and will continue to be.
Yeah, the defense let us down in OT

good post
can’t argue that one this team still has a ways to go to become a serious threat for a super bowl. Seems like Costa has struggled all year long hiking the ball. O-line hasn’t got the job done this season but they are young. If Austin and Fia are back for the Giants should help. But the Giants are one of the top ranked passing teams could be a long day for are secondary. I think Newman is about done.
Exactly
Just do not have the personnel to be elite.Stay on track,get the players and we will be elite again.Let garret do his thing and give him some time.He is still a young HC.

Saying you’re in “field goal range” at 49-yards with a weak legged kicker almost makes a mockery of the term. That was probably a 50-50 kick. Get it down to about 40 yards, which was very possible, and suddenly the odds of winning jump to about 85%. He’s just obfuscating.
I agree especially if your kicker has missed one previously

Think about where we were a year ago. Nowhere near playoff contention. We still have a chance and yes the supporting cast (see secondary) needs to get better. As far as the coaching-well sorry Garret isn’t tebow he isn’t perfect and is going to make mistakes. I mean I guess this is just his first year so lets not throw him under the bus yet. If you want to say this season is over and that Garret sucks then go ahead. I’m fairly certain this season isn’t over yet and win or lose I’m still supporting this team 100%. If the rest of you want to bash the team and focus on the negatives go for it. We are still first place NFC East and in position to make the playoffs. A little better than last year.

This forum is for fans to vent and talk about how they feel. That doesn’t make you more of a fan then me or anyone else. Some people think Jason Garrett lost this game today. Actually alot of people do. I don’t think he can handle being coach and OC. Maybe find a OC in the offseason i don’t know. But i like many fans that say this still and will always be Cowboy fans. I remember when they went 1-15 did i complain oh you bet i did. But did i watch every game and hope they would win of course. Just like now i hope they beat the Giants next week. I’ve never been sold on Jason Garrett as head coach. Thats just my opinion it may be wrong. And i would be the first to admit this if they win a super bowl or even make the playoffs this season.

Outside of the games against Buffalo and the Rams, Dallas has not been scoring points in bunches.
Since T.O. left, Dallas’ offense has been an enigma to me.

yes it has, 2009 was purely a run of excellent defense
even 2008 you saw the downfall coming.
2007 this team could hang 30 on just about anybody, now they win gritty 5 point games scoring no more than 20 but have a TOP of close to 35 minutes per game
i was shocked at how much they had to dink and dunk this year. and whenever they try and go deep Romo gets face-planted in the soil

I think
he ran the same routes 50 times because….HE CANT RUN ROUTES! It’s not the Garrett’s fault for his dumbass. Not everything is on Garrett.
Dude, watch the games...
He ran a fade into zone and man. He ran the comeback. He ran a dig. He ran the slant. On the fade into zone, he settled perfectly into the space between the corner and safety. On the last play of the game, he ran his route exactly as called. It was a dig. He beat Peterson to the break point and crossed the face of the safety, who was double covering him over the top. It was the route he also ran at the end of the second Washington game, except this time he won with the route and didn’t have to adjust to the outside.

Please
Martellus Bennett can run a fade. And a comeback. A sixth grader could run a slant. Plus, it’s not all about just running the designed route. It’s about getting leverage on your man and using your body and speed.
What do you think he did on his last catch of the game?
But, of course, you know more about what it takes to be an NFL wide receiver than Dez. I forgot…

I was unaware that I said I knew more than Dez
One catch and he deserves a trophy. All I’m saying is, it doesn’t look to me like Dez runs good routes when I watch the games. Do I know everything? No. But I do know that when I see, in games past, Romo yelling at Dez after a failed play because A.) he either over ran a route or B.) he ran the wrong route, that this is not a very promising sign to me.

No
that’s not my argument at all. I’m just wondering, cause I listen to a lot of sports talk radio around the area, I read a lot about the Cowboys from the local media and they all talk about, from training camp in fact, about the fact that Dez simply does not run routes well. He can run some, but that’s like saying “some people can kind of do their taxes”.
Romo, Witten, Austin, Garrett and anyone else with half a brain on the Cowboys roster knows this and this is a big factor why Romo does not trust Bryant. Why do you think Robinson has done so well in Austin’s absence? If Dez was so good, he would’ve seen increased production.
4th quarter
5 minutes left, we are in shotgun formation. Dez spilt out to the left, with Peterson pressing him. He runs right at Peterson and lets Peterson get inside leverage on him, forcing Dez to the sideline. Dez never recovers and Peterson uses his body to shield Dez all the way. Had Romo thrown the ball more inside, it would’ve been a pick for Peterson.
He runs fade routes, cause that’s all he knows how to run.
A few plays before this one, Robinson see’s the play breaking down and Romo rolling out right, to Robinson’s side. So what does Robinson do? He spins around, surprising his man, and beats his man, getting open for a first down.
Wonder why Romo trusts Robinson?? Hmmmmm??
Robinson has been a godsend.

Garrett needs an offensive coordinator
He’s got too much on his plate. That’s why he fails to call a time out. He also needs to designate one coach on offense and one on defense to keep track of the time out situation and help with clock management.
Romo is also not without blame. In that situation, he has to know going into every huddle how many time outs he has and where he should use them. The cowboys could have run another play and maybe gotten a few more yards to make the field goal a little easier.
Galveston Dave
I think you're right
Minutiae and strategy are not a good combo for a young HC.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Missed the whole game...
but if you lose a situational football game this is a good one to lose… I’d be more upset over losing at home to Detroit. I thought we would finish with 9 straight wins but if we lose on the road vs a non-divisional rival I’ll take it.
We will bounce back vs Giants at home. They’ve lost 4-straight.
It seems like the Cowboys made mistakes to lose but it wasn’t like the Cardinals outplayed us… I’d be more worried about the running game.
Glad to see that Felix is back to his old self… did we actually break one on a kickoff? A breakthrough for Special Teams and I’m sure Bailey will bounce back.
It's a very bad loss
1) Conference loss, which may affect playoff tie-breakers
2) A game in which they were the favorite
3) All teams in division lost, so a missed opportunity to separate from the pack
4) Your kicker MADE the game winning field goal but was iced by his OWN head coach and then missed
December Cowboys . . . . .

Felix broke one
but i believe the next plays involved a first down sack, a dump for nothing, a false start, a delay of game, another incompletion, and then a punt. after starting from the cardinals 45 or something.

We still have room to grow as a team and taking advantage of these opportunities in a game is the one area we can def. benefit from a little urgency.

Montana used to throw touchdowns with 24 seconds left from 31.
At the very least, run Demarco Murray for a couple of plays. Better yet, fake the hand-off and throw across the middle to Witten for 10 yards. Then Baily has a much easier kick.
Galveston Dave
You're actually comparing Romo to Montana?
I agree that they shoulda called a TO after the completion but, I wouldn’t throw again and possibly get sacked.
A breakthrough for Special Teams
They had their faults too. Scandrick’s blunder cost them a excellent punt return by Dez.
that was a picky call by the ref

One of the commentators brought up a good point there, if the NFL is going to make all these rules to protect receivers, shouldn’t they apply to the special teams guys flying down the field too? ie interference-type penalties

he’s come back to reality
Personally, I just don’t trust field goals. Too many moving parts, but it sure has seemed like we’ve conceded too many plays this year and just played for a FG.
As for today, I have more of a beef with not calling a TO and trying to get a few more plays in.
Oh, and I hate overtime.
Has the whole world gone crazy? Am I the only one around here who gives a s#!t about the rules?!?
about the Giants game
I’m not sure what to expect. Of course the game is going to be close. I wonder how much of a difference Austin coming back will make in opening up our offense by stretching the field. I think that will be the key to the Cowboys winning that game.

We got lucky in the Miami game and we were unlucky today
If you let bad teams hang around and play you tight, you’re bound to lose ones that make fans angry.
This was a return to the “what are they thinking” coaching maneuvers on the sideline. Delay of game in critical situation. Inability to manage the clock.
Shame on this coaching staff. The division, and maybe even a shot at the playoffs, may have been lost today.
Based on everything I’ve seen, I wouldn’t expect Dallas to fare well next week.

Its not lost til its lost. I do like the flair for the dramatic though. It pretty well sums up how I feel today.

tebow's team
is playing lights out for him. Well above expectations. The defense may just keep them in enough games for him to progress enough as a QB to be more of a passing threat. I’m still rooting for the guy. I live in Denver and maybe that makes me a homer but as long as they don’t play the Cowboys I hope Tebow and the Broncos keep rollin’.

It's weird.
The Cowboys have allowed less points over the past 5 games than the Broncos, but I keep hearing how the Broncos’ D is lights out and Dallas’ D is terrible.

and another low point, we know the o-line has its problems
but there was one sack, cardinals dropped 8 and sent 3. cowboys had 3 wr, 1 te, and sent the rb on a chip-release
Cardinals 3 man front broke through almost immediately and romo extended the play for about 7 seconds, 3 of the o-lineman were trying to move around and continue to block but alas Dockett got the sack and who do i see 5 yards up the field from the shifted pocket: Kosier and Costa staring at no one, turning around looking at romo eat dirt
there was also another play when paris lenon stacked up on the DT and costa did not call it out, (didnt help they waited til 2 seconds were left on the play clock for the 40th consecutive play), and when the ball was snapped costa doubles on the DT with Holland and lets Lenon fly up the middle unscathed and Murray has to charge 7 yards up the field and throw himself at Lenon in a desperation block but to no avail, Lenon and Campbell sack Romo three seconds after the ball was snapped.
bottom line, there is still some dead-weight on this roster and this team continues to show a lack of focus/mental toughness in games they should win by a comfortable margin. We not talking the steelers and packers, we talkin the dolphins and cardinals

for some reason im content that cowboy won on thanksgiving and not against the cards..
new york giants will be in town next week and its on!
I saw this play like it was happening in slow-motion...
all that was missing for me was the slow, “NOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo….” as Murray tried to fling himself

Jason Garrett dumbest coach in america
The only coach ever to ice his own kicker Mr. Carrot top himself Jason Garrett. Great hire Jerry this guy continues to lose games that the Cowboys should of won. He did it against Detroit with his play calling and New England. Now he ices his own kicker. And runs Demarco Murray 11 times lmao what a bucking joke this guy is. Please get a head coach in here in the offseason. Tony Dungy could barely talk he was laughing so hard at the clock management by Jason Garrett at the end of the game along with every sports show on. Wait till tomorrow it will be one of the top topics on every sports show and radio shows. Everyone will be laughing trying to figure out what was going threw Carrot tops head. Do coaches get drug tested only explanation thru out this game was Jason Garrett was stoned or something. Or he had money on the Cards in Vegas maybe he is like Pete Rose.
I won't go so far as to call him the "dumbest coach in America", but in my opinion, he did at least one very dumb thing tonight.
At first, I wondered why neither Romo nor Garrett called a time out after Dez’s last completion with 25+ seconds left.
After listening to Romo’s answer in his post game press conference, I had some understanding as to why Romo, specifically, didn’t call a TO. He needed to make sure that it was a first down…OK.
After listening to JG, however, I am shocked that he, Jason Garrett specifically, did not call a time out after Dez made the catch. According to Garrett, he knew it was a first down, he knew where the ball was being placed, he knew it was within the range of his kicker. Conventional wisdom tells me to then call a time out, knowing I’ll have one more after that, and try to either take a shot at the endzone (probably not the best idea here as it hadn’t worked all day) or have your surest-handed running back take the ball towards the side your kicker is most comfortable with, and hopefully pick up a couple more yards in the process. After which, you run the clock down to a few seconds and call your last time out.
I think any avid fan knows this, which is why it is such a head-scratcher coming from an otherwise semmingly very disciplined coach.

Ridiculous
With 2 timeouts, 24 seconds, and a first down where all you have is an iffy 49 yard field goal, you just DO NOT play out the string. I mean, seriously, since when is a 49 yard field goal considered “good enough” or a “gimme” ?
That’s ridiculous. You call timeout with 24 seconds left and you try and get, say, 10 more yards through the air. Even if you have to get 2 five yard passes to the sidelines, you move the ball to an emminently more makeable distance and by throwing the ball to the sidelines, you can still stop the clock. PLUS you still have one more timeout in case you complete a pass over the middle.
That was HORRENDOUS clock management. Which is to say nothing of the idiotic timeout that WAS taken. Look at the situation ON THE FIELD, Jason. If no timeout is NEEDED, don’t take one.
Horrible.
Go read the Revenge of the Birds 4th Quarter Thread
When Romo hits Dez, they are saying game over, we lose. Then they laugh as Garrett mismanages the clock and ices the kicker. It’s really sad. These are all direct quotes.
That’s weird, two timeouts and he spikes it?
Am I the only one confused here?Dallas just iced their own kicker
Here comes a miss/block
Wait did Garret just ice his own kicker?Ice him again Whiz!!!
LoL…I swear Dallas is going to beat themselves
…and they call him the jedi how silly. their coach iced him too.
Oh my god this is wonderfulJerry looks pissed
Seriously though,We don’t even have to beat Dallas, they’ll find defeat in the clutches of victory.

I think everyone knew he was going to miss that kick
There were confused looks on all of the Cowboys players and coaching. Everyone had that stare like WTF are we doing? Why didn’t we try to get a closer field goal and why did we just ice our own kicker? Has a team ever looked so lost or confused?

I don't know if I have ever been that confused watching a Cowboys game...
…but I hate to admit that there’ve been other times I’ve been close! lol

I'm glad i missed that game,
had a feeling it would be closer than people thought, can’t bring myself to watching it yet.
icing your’e own kicker !! Really ?. unbelievable but it’s the Cowboys so anything can happen .
better get their acts together for the Giants game or we have let them back into contention.
must have been rough to watch and take guy’s . feel for you all.
keep the faith.

Defense
We held them to 13 points in reg.This is the same offense that has put up 27 on the Giants and 27 on the Ravens and 20 on the Steelers,all pretty decent defenses.As much as I think we need some key personnel on the D,the offense hurt us today and really the OL.They have been up and down all year which we all should have expected with a new line and very young and no offseason.The Giants have their own problems and this years Cowboys can beat them,just depends on which teams show up
To Be Fair
At least to the Ravens defense, they didn’t so much give up 27 pts. AZ’s first TD came after a fumble by Flacco that they recovered at the 2 yard line, their second TD came on a 82 yard Peterson punt return, and their third TD came after a Flacco interception at the 25 Yd line.
Fact is, Baltimore did not allow AZ to mount a full TD scoring drive in the entire game. The AZ offense was only able to “drive” to two field goals.
As frustrating as the end of the game was, that’s not the concerning thing to me.
A team that can only score 13 points against the Cardinals this late in the season has zero chance to beat the Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees in a playoff situation.
This was just a bad game all around for a team that’s trying making a playoff run. There needs to be a major change in play calling and execution on offense, and good defenses need to be able to stop mediocre offenses when the game is on the line.
Next week, we get to watch a team that almost beat the Packers play a team that lost to the Cardinals. Oh boy.
One positive...
Romo kept his composure and played very well as the game clock was winding down. Earlier in the year, he may have handed the Cardinals this game. He did his job and kept us in it, and if it weren’t for a couple very suspect coaching decisions at the end of the game, we’d probably be looking at another W.
Yea but..
As the QB and leader of the team he shouldnt have had to wait on his coach to call a timeout. No way Brady, Brees, or Manning don’t call a timeout right after Dez catches the big 3rd down reception. He should have the authority to immediately call a timeout there and not worry about the coach screwing it up
Does Romo even have that much leash

Yes,but Qbs don't just randomly call timeouts
It is pre-determined. Garrett tells Romo, if you convert on this play and we get into “field goal range” bleed the clock and spike it

I can see "bleed the clock and call TO" but what is the benefit to spiking the ball when they had two timeouts?

I kinda understand, after hearing Romo in the postgame press conference...
…why he(Romo) didn’t call the TO.
I still have no idea what Jason Garrett was thinking when he decided to let his team “rush” to the line, wasting some 18 seconds in the process, when they had two time outs left.
I watched a different team the same day, almost simultaneously, in a more pressured situation (in that there was less time for them to work with, and the fact they had one less time out, I believe), pull off a couple plays before they wound the clock, stopped it with a TO, and kicked. Can you guess what team that was? If you guessed the undefeated, undisputed champion Green Bay Packers, you’d be correct. Don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful they did. But it’s just the smart thing to do. Some days, some players don’t execute well. Some days coaches don’t execute well. Other days, neither one execute well, and that’s what happened yesterday.

Instead of:
Next week, we get to watch a team that almost beat the Packers play a team that lost to the Cardinals. Oh boy.
You could have said:
Next week, we get to watch a team that lost at home to the Seahawks play a team that beat the 49ers on the road. Oh boy.
And I think that’s the quota on my positivity for the day. $#%@&.

yea mr ramiro put the team
in a position to win “again” despite that porous line he has to work w/, he’s the last guy i’m worried about its those other positions that need to straighten up.
name something u sit in.. chair.. try again.. big chair.. nope that's the same thing try again.. high chair.. that's still a chair.. chair.. say something other than chair.. what if i can't think of anything.. u can pass.. how do i pass.. just say it.. say what.. say pass.. chair
it's hilarious that we all feel basically the same way about the loss last night and who was culpable and why
and yet you people still can’t resist getting in a huff over people’s opinions because they’re worded with a rhetorical flourish that doesn’t quite mesh with your understanding of two-way football cliches. optimists vs. pessimists? please.
you are children.
So many names I don't recognize!
How could that be?
You're pretty new here. Maybe that's the problem.

No, I recognize names like.....

Or rather, folks who only show up after a loss.
I understand what you meant, just ribbin' ya.
Bad losses tend to bring out the worst in every team’s fan base, unfortunately. I’m going to have a hard time honoring the 24-hour rule this time, myself…

Then we are in the same boat.
I was talking about me.
Still only need to win the next 2 games
And we will automatically clinch the National Football Conference Eastern division.. I think..
Correct.
In fact, any 2 wins in the last 4 weeks, as long as at least one is against the Giants, wins the division.
