I bet they roll out these same scrub players on defense next year.
If leave if I was Miranelli.
One thing I'm thankful for is that we didn't lose due to Romo's poor play.
No ints. No fumbles.
Could you imagine the backlash had he turned it over?
Ps- I hate Murray
but throw the ball away instead of taking huge sacks
Romo was awesome the vast majority of this year and played extremely well in the postseason.
I don't hate Murray but that fumble today was an absolute killer. He was never a fumbler before this season, and I think they said that after the struggles he had early in the season he hadn't fumbled since week 7 or 8. He's really an all around good player and I love his fiery attitude, but I wouldn't re-sign him now unless it was a really cap friendly deal for us.
Bookmarked.That whole closing your eyes while passing though, brilliant too. Yes he is really that damn good.
main culprits
Sterling Moore
Murray fumble
couldn't get to Rodgers when it counted
Dez non-catch
clusterfuck before halftime. when you're inside their 30 with 40 seconds left, it is inconceivable that GB gets points before the half (either we score or no one does), but somehow we accomplished it.
3rd and 1 and decide to go shotgun instead of run
If Marinelli want to leave because of the friendship thing with Lovie Smith, there's really nothing we can do. If Jones can persuade him to stay with $$, I'm sure he will (or at least try)
There will definitely be some new players on defense next year.
Claiborne
wherever Jerry "finds" a guy, he rarely lets the guy go because he has no confidence that they can find a similar or better replacement, so expect Murray to be back. of course, Denver has proven that any back can be successful behind a good 0-line.
3rd and 1 and decide to go shotgun instead of run
Not recovering fumble on kickoff return.
dream on. Jerry doesn't admit to mistakes that easily.
NFL....National Flag League. Taking common sense out of the game for years.
If the ball is 1/2 yard down the field more and Dez does the exact same two step lunge and strikes the pylon or the goal line ball then the pops out on impact then is that not a touchdown or are stil nullifying the catch?
Since when is lunging for the goal line not a football move. Can't understand how you could not see that play any other way.
I would say he's 50/50 to be back. The things that help is there are a lot of good RB's in the draft and a few via free agency. Nobody is likely to break the bank to take him away. RB needy teams will have options.
That said, we have obvious areas where we need help too. That cap space could be best used on other positions, and then go with Randle and maybe a rookie RB next year.
Another interesting point... At what point is Dez down by contact? He makes the catch and contact is made by the DB before he hit the ground... If he were to not lose control of the ball and get up, they wouldn't have let him get up and run into the end zone. So maybe he should have been down by contact before he even stretched the ball out.
