2023 NFL Week 15; Dallas Cowboys vs. Buffalo Bills

[Scot]

The Bills effectively Emmitt Smith’d us

They just kept running the ball because they KNEW that we couldn’t stop them

When this team is bad, they are really bad.

Still dont think the refs gave them any chance today, but the run defense is some of the worst I have ever seen. Probably since that debacle in Los Angeles in the playoffs a few years ago when they basically caught something on film and exposed the DL giving away line calls.

IMHO, we don't factor in variables such as the Redskins trading away their two best pass rushers or playing with a first year starting QB. Or the Giants playing with a UDFA for the first time, who had no preseason.

Then we play like we are playing in college and run up the score instead of going into a run mode and everyone on the website rejoices "look how good we are".

Are we a good team, yes. But we aren't as good as those scores indicate.

I think the Dak for MVP talk is probably history after today.

Total clunker of a game for the whole team. But he didnt throw it well today. Lucky he has only had one pick.

Whatever the Bills did with their coverages today has totally befuddled McCarthy and Prescott today.

MVPs need to win big away games.

Dallas peaked last week, stick a fork in them, they are done!

 

[Aggiepride]

Now if Buffalo wants to play like McCarthy does, the Bills will keep throwing and try to score instead of winding the clock down with the running game to run up the score to make it like an even bigger win.

I'm curious to hear what BS Broaddus is coming up with now. Instead of saying, "Look, we're overrated. We had some bounces go our way. We caught a couple of teams at the right time, but we're not as good as some of those scores suggest," he'll probably come up with BS like, "this team doesn't know how to handle success".

Well, the Dolphins were missing two OL starters (incl Connor Willaims, who is out for the yr now) and also Tyreek Hill, and they won 30-0 today and barely gave up a 100 yds of total offense in doing it.

But they are a team that can run the ball and have two really good RB's, the Lions have a great OL and two really, really good running backs.

If we cant play the run any better than we did today we'll get run off the field again. Dan Quinn better figure some shit out and he doesnt have much tie to do it, and we a really beat up team going into next week on both sides of the ball.

Both the Dolphins and Rams could potentially roll us, maybe worse than today. At this point I'd be happy with a split of the two, and even then to get one win would likelly have to be a shootout, because the defense Dallas put on the field today would need a miracle to hold either team under 24.

They are talking about how bad the flu virus is with the team. Apparently a lot of guys getting IV's during week, before game and at halftime.

Its not an excuse obviously, but it helps to explain some of the lack of energy or "slow" looking play.

 

[dbair1967]

Might be the only good news from the day.

I was wondering the same thing. I get wanting to get something positive going, but we had guys dropping like flies and Prescott taking a bunch of bad hits. Lamb and Ferguson both got hammered today. The defense got beat up with a sledge hammer.

I didnt understand keeping them in there. Especially with the team sick as hell anyway.

 

[dbair1967]

This definitely had that sort of feel. Unfortunately.

It's like we had 11 gimpy Jaylon Smiths out there today. And don't use Hankins as an excuse. They were beating us to the edges all day long.

 

[dbair1967]

Its now 33 quarters.

 

[dbair1967]

They obviously have to win out now, but I do think Philly will lose one or two games. And if they lose two and we win out, we'll be the 2nd seed. We could also win the division if we win out and Philly loses one game to the NYG.
