2016 NFL Week #1: New York Giants (0-0) @ Dallas Cowboys (0-0)

[Bob Sacamano]

A loss like this used to make me want to break shit but it has become such the norm year after year it's hard to tell one year from the next.

Garrett is a sub .500 coach but I would be interested to see what his record is in games decided by 3 points or less.

Yep. I'm not mad anymore. I just said a few curse words, typed a few on here, then over it already.

Let's see if mentally deficient TWilly fakes an injury or even gets a slap on the wrist. Any defensive player would be cut. Am convinced that TWilly is some Baylor favor to the Garrett family.

Is it just me or did anyone else notice that the offense was way more creative in the preseason? In the preseason they had Dez in the slot and ran several sweeps to Zeke. I only saw Zeke run outside twice in this game. One went for a TD.

yes, its maddening! Did they quit calling these plays or do defenses dictate what gets called? It felt like the defense was funneling the offense into playing exactly how they wanted Dallas to play

Also if Beasley catches that first TD they win this game.

or Dez, sick of those catches getting overused by the micromanaging rules

I'm happy with Dak's play. Could have been better. But good enough to possibly get us a win if not for T. Willy. Not bad for his first real game

Zeke was disappointing although he did get a TD he never broke off a decent run

Defense wasn't as shitty as I expected

I didn't miss Romo for a second

Lucky I had low expectations! This loss feels less painful than all of last seasons.

T Willy needs to be benched. Fuck that guy! He's too stupid to be a Starter

Wilcox actually made the stop when it mattered most! There is a first time for everything

All in all I don't feel as shitty about this loss as I should

Or if Dez doesn't bobble his TD we win the game

How many times have we seen Dez bobble a catch since the Packer game

It continues to happen. This time it cost us another TD

If Beasley catches that pass in the 1st it's also a TD. He dropped 3 passes that hurt this team.

I'm happy with Dak's play. Could have been better. But good enough to possibly get us a win if not for T. Willy. Not bad for his first real game

his accuracy was way off in the second half (sailing passes), but 2nd and long situations didn't help his cause.

 

[Doomsday]

or Dez, sick of those catches getting overused by the micromanaging rules

Well. The dez "catch" wasn't a catch, clearly. So there's that.

 

[Mr.Po]

Last place in division all by our lonesome after tomorrow night.

 

[MrB]

I thought Dak played well. Was under a lot of pressure in the 2nd half. Played well overall thoug for his first game. Play calling didn't do him any favors

 

[bbgun]

Are there any commercials without Peyton Manning in them?

 

[yimyammer]

Well. The dez "catch" wasn't a catch, clearly. So there's that.

right but my point is I still hate the rule regardless of how its been revamped

They do everything to create more offense in the league and then they micromanage bullshit like this.

Regardless, Dez needs to figure out how to secure the damn ball when he's falling down

 

[Scot]

Play calling didn't do him any favors

And it never will until Garrett gets fired!

 

[yimyammer]

+1 on turnovers, 37 to 23 minutes in time of possession, 75 plays on offense to the giants offense of 54 and still lost, thats the Garrett way

 

[ZeroClub]

Ill-timed penalties killed them too.

 

[Mr.Po]

Can Sunday Night Football opening theme keep getting any worse with the chicken legged Cary Underwood honky tonk howling that corny song and playing patty cake with players. This league just keeps trying to create ways to make it look more wussified.

 

[Scot]

I feel bad that Williams fucked up Dak's chance to win his first game

It's gotta be frustrating to have your shot at getting your first win as a pro taken away by some idiot

 

[bbgun]

jeez, could the Pats actually win this game without Brady and Gronk?

 

[theoneandonly]

jeez, could the Pats actually win this game without Brady and Gronk?

Yes coaches that can win under adverse conditions do exist. Just not in Dallas.

 

[Scot]

Just ask Del Rio in Oakland! Ballsy call to go for 2 with seconds left for the win instead of 1 for the tie!!!!

All I could think as I watched the Raiders win is Garrett would never even consider making that call. Ever!

 

[Omegasupreme]

The defense is still one huge running stopping gap in the middle. They get thrown around by bigger players but hey they have 245 lb Benson Mayowa as the sack artist and big time defensive upgrade. By the way Mayowas sack was after about 15 minutes of no one on the Giants team being open. Even Eb Ekuban could have gotten that sack.
