I love Schotty and the Run First mentality

Sure, the run was stopped, but Russ dropped some GEMs of passes right where they needed to be. We knew this was going to be a close game coming into it. We lost the time of possession battle because we were outclassed on Defense. Hat's off to Richard for calling a fantastic defensive game. Sadly, you won't be matching up against your former team next weekend and you will lose.

This loss came down to two things.

1. Being outplayed on defense, likely because we went up against the DC who JUST LEFT.

2. Special Teams. It's time for Seattle to find a solid kicker. Love ya Seabass, but ya screwed us buddy. Make that field goal and we either win or go into OT.


Hats off to PC, JS, Schottty, Solari and Norton for the best rebuilding year I've ever seen a team have. Now find us a damned kicker.

Don't forget the Dallas kicker missed a fg too so special teams was a wash. I'm not sure if I'd blame the defense since the offense keep them on the field the whole first half. Credit to the Dallas defense but we sucked a little too.

Losing a kicker and facing your former DC in the playoffs is one hell of a handicap.

Losing our kicker actually helped us. We went 2 for 2 on going for 2 and we went for multiple 4th downs that we converted that we might have kicked field goals instead. Don't you think we know a little about Kris Raichard too? Offense didn't get it done, blame Shotty or Russ, or Pete but this game is on the offense.

Yeah there is nothing to love about Schotty.

Richard taught hand signals? Norton et al didn't change them in a year? They didn't think of changing them?

Dak did not know the hand signals.

You keep believing that.

This team is special. You don't change a LB that's played in one system his whole career in one season. Period. LOVED this season.

Well I guess Ken Norton and all D coaches and Pete need to fired.

Dallas has a tough D. People seem to ignore that fact and blame someone rather than giving anyone credit.

I’m pretty tired of excuses being made for the lack of creativity in our offensive play-calling. I’m not calling for anyone’s head, but this is our game plan. We didn’t adjust our offensive mindset and we lost. I’m not even suggesting we should have bailed on the run game—just a smudge of creativity would have gone a long way. Instead we got square peg, round hole, for 58 minutes.

I agree. Pete and Scotty should not be getting a pass on this.

When other teams sell out to stop the run you need to adjust. Or you did a bad job as a coach.

The Carolina game proves my point. They did it before, they can do it again.

They failed.

They let the players and fans down in this game with the stubbornness, ego, philosophy, stupidity, ineptitude, insanity. For whatever reason it was why exactly they decided to continue to run into a brick wall for 2 downs, and put the QB in 3rd and long the whole game, but it was a joke, and completely dumbfounding. Aikman called it out towards the end of the game as it was playing out, and didn't understand what Pete was thinking.

It has me very worried about the future of this team. If Pete doesn't learn from this game, and refuses to adjust, were looking at a Marty ball kind of team. Go 10-6 or thereabouts, early playoff exit, every year going forward. With the apologists coming up with new excuses every season of why the team fell short.

This team should be competing for a Superbowl next year with an offense that is bringing pretty much everyone back, and a defense that just needs to make some improvements in the secondary with the young guys taking their natural steps forward, + an additional pass rusher. But all of that will be moot if Pete thinks he can roll out the same gameplan on offense every week, and then refuse to adjust when it isn't working. They will fall short, and underachieve. They will lose a couple of games in the regular season they have no business losing, which will cost them the division, and then maybe win in the WC round, but then be bounced after that.
