***** Official 2021-22 NFL Regular Season Thread *****

[Millennial_Messiah]

I'm starting this because starting next week (Labor Day) I won't be allowed to post here as per my bet with BD24 and If I had to guess, without my presence there won't even be 100 pages worth of posts throughout the 18-week regular season. Just based on trends on this forum over the last 5-10 years. But I could be wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong :tu :toast

Wtf lamb

[MultiTroll]

1 and 10 21 yard line a minute before halftime and Dallas screws up the FGA.

All Dak had to do on 2nd down was throw it away. On a roll out no less with several steps between him and pursuing linebacker.
Retards sub zero football IQ by Brady Opponent again.

same old qb but with a bigger paycheck

[MultiTroll]

Nice offensive pass interference for the win.

I'd say Cow db should have shoved back but the auto Brady call would have followed.

[RD2191]

it's not the qb, it's the entire organization, they're losers, will be until the Jones's sell the team.

Weren't there 5 drives in the final 2 minutes of the Half

[FrostKing]

No shame in losing that close game. You will likely win the East and earn a rematch.

[FrostKing]

I think so too. Ended the game. There was still enough time to call it and force them to drive it. Instead they just allowed them to heave the ball out of bounds 3 times.

[RD2191]

No shame in losing that close game. You will likely win the East and earn a rematch.
I don't have faith in the cowboys tbh, they always find ways to fuck it up. 8-9 9-8 season tbh

nope, football's team year Fitzfuckingmagic.

Ya there is.
The strategy before halftime 1st down at Brady 21 yardline and Dak allowing himself to be sacked followed by a 3rd down holding call was pathetic.

Thats the kind of ish RD2191 is talking about.

[MultiTroll]

If anyone finds media with a clear view of the game winning offensive pass interference please post the link.

It’s a beautiful thing

[lefty20]

Weren't there 5 drives in the final 2 minutes of the Half

Pretty sure Tampa had like 9 total carries in the first half. Don't recall the total for Dallas, but I doubt it was higher.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Barring injuries I can’t see how they don’t win that division comfortably. They took the champs to the wire in Tampa despite a banged-up Dak, no Zach Martin, Zeke being a complete nonfactor, a horrible no-call on Godwin, and their kicker missing a PAT and a 31 yd fg.

They’ll be fine

[pgardn]

Dallas should win the division but they still suck.
They finally got a huge advantage with the TOs, one of which should have led to a TB touchdown. Also Tough “dropped” TD pass by 14 when Brady adjusted the pass beautifully to the open area. And two incredible little tips that could have been easily caught by Evans for TDS.
Dak is a good QB but he routinely misses wide open players, especially in the end zone. He did it again tonight. He should not have to rely on tThis being another 400 passing yard a game season with Dallas again failing. Dak should not have to make all the big plays falling backwards. You can feel the crunch time choking. Dallas can’t seem to manage efficient easy plays, it always has to be difficult. They are bad again in the red zone, even against a depleted team at DB.
First round loss in the playoffs seems almost inevitable. They must be able to run the ball, just cram it down and get an efficient win. Zeke Elliott has no burst left. He can be fast, but none of those overpowering acceleration change of direction runs. That’s in the past.
Things are just too difficult for this team. They manage to make almost everything way too hard. From FG kicking to actually getting momentum from some very timely turnovers. It always something.

I thought Chris Collingsworth had a bit too much praise for this game because it was high scoring and close. TB won’t win the super bowl with the secondary they had tonight. They need help.

[Will Hunting]

Imagine what kind of career stats Brady would have if not for being surrounded by shit talent for most of his prime.

yep this team has had a loser mentality for as long as I’ve watched. Idk what it is about them. I always gave Dak sh1t about disappearing on the road but he played pretty well last night. But it’s the Cowboys so they’ll still find a way to lose some other way. Defense choking, kicker sucking, offensive lineman getting called for holding penalties after timely first downs, icing their own kicker etc.

i don’t even care about the moral victories. They’ve been doing this crap for decades; put on a great game against an elite team only to underachieve the rest of the season. Don’t see it being different this time around imo

Zuerlein lost the game for the Cowboys.

[Robz4000]

So what do the Cowboys go? 8-9 or 7-10?

[spurraider21]

he's been a good player for a while tbh... cowboy fans just cringing at the idea that their black qb is an accurate pocket passer and good leader

he's a good player at home no doubt, but up until last night you can't find a good performance he's had on the road vs a good team. Maybe his rookie year against Pittsburgh and that's it but that was really more Zeke. That's been my knock on him this whole time. But last night was a positive step in the right direction, hopefully we see more of it

tbh I don't care who the quarterback is as long as he's good. he can be a sub-80 IQ spear-chucking, BLM protestor as long as they help my team win games imo

[leemajors]

I was pretty happy the team showed up ready to play, tbh. Would like to see McGovern at LG, Connor to the bench. And Anthony Brown got cooked up.

lol obviously a rookie will usually need to be in a pampered situation to thrive. but Dak has been a good QB for much longer than just his rookie year

both his road games last year were good. week 1 vs rams where they lost because of a weak OPI call (ironically they lost opening week this year with an OPI non-call)... and in a close loss vs seattle. cowboys actually held a 4th Q lead and prescott had a massive game when they had no run game

i think everybody plays better at home, look at team W/L too. but i dont think its as drastically bad as say, andy dalton in primetime

When Dak got sacked I was thinking to myself that's the difference between him and Brady. That's the play that separates the winners vs the losers. Brady just gets rid of it. Dak loses yards and gets out of FG position... but their kicker sucks anyway so maybe it doesn't really matter :lol

[KobesAchilles]

Also can we unban MM from the game threads. Places sucks w/o him

Dak did it again on the final Cowboy drive.
Drops back, everyone covered. Scrambled sideways then threw back the other way to Zeke who either fumbled it or got tackled behind the line. Either way, while Dak was dicking around and making that silly sideways floater pass, his OLineman held. It was not a Tampon Tom call, the lineman really did hold. So instead of 2nd and 5 or whatever, back the fucker up 15 yards.

What the Cowboys really needed was another 1st down thus to milk the clock to as low to zero as possible so BradyRef would not have had the chance to convert on the Pass Interference set up for the short field goal game winner.

tbh the all around home/road splits are misleading because you factor in every team he's played on the road. I've watched him turn into Joe Montana against sh!tty NFC East teams on the road, which would inflate those stats somewhat.

Instead, I'll just go year by year each road game that IMO was against a playoff calibre opponent

2016

@ Green Bay: He played fairly well in this one, but GB looked awful early in the season. They really didn't get hot until they won 6 in a row to end their season

@ Pittsburgh: Played well in this one, I'll give him his due. This was the one road performance that I would say was definitively good

@ NYG: Completely sh!t the bed. Sub .500 completion percentage w/ 2 INTs. All around terrible performance

2017

@ Denver: Denver pretty much geared up to stop the run, forcing Dak to beat them. Terrible performance and they were blown out 42-17

@ Atlanta: Another embarrassing performance. A good chunk of blame went to Garrett in this one too, since the f@ggot couldn't adjust with a backup LT in the game but offense does nothing all day and they lose 27-7

2018

@ Carolina: One of the worst performances I've seen from him. Simply completing a forward pass in this game was a struggle. Lose 16-8

@ Seattle: Again, offense barely does anything. Lose 24-13

@ Houston: Another loss, 19-16 in OT. 18/29 208 yds and 1 TD 2 INT...Uninspiring per par etc

@ Washington: A big divisional game where Washington was looking like the only real threat in the division. They lose 20-17 in OT in another uninspiring performance. Had a huge turnover resulting in a fumble recovered for a TD

@ Indianapolis: Shutout 23-0, ROFL

2019:

@ New Orleans: Cleary rattled in this game. Defense played well and he had plenty of chances to lead them down for a touchdown to take the lead, but ended up losing 16-10

@ New England: Shutdown by a great defense. 13-9 loss

@ Chicago: This was the game he earned the "Garbage Time Joe Montana" nickname. Pretty much did nothing the first three quarters only to statpad in the 4th quarter in a 24-31 loss where the stats were very misleading

@ Philadelphia: Biggest game of the year against an injury riddle Eagles team for the division, and he can't even get his team into the endzone :lmao lost 17-9

In 2020, there's no way I'd consider his game against the Rams good. Maybe you could say he played well in Seattle, but that was also a COVID game with literally nobody in attendance. I seriously doubt he plays like that in a packed house with one of the loudest crowds in football

lol im sure a lot of great QBs will have bad records against winning/playoff teams on the road

doesnt rodgers have that really bad stat against teams over .500 too?

[Mark Celibate]

rofl yeah I'm sure most QBs are sub .500 on the road but not "Dak Prescott" bad. His last road win against a good team was his rookie year. We're probably just talking past each other at this point. I think he's above average, but there's no way I'm giving him the contract he has now if he's basically guaranteed to sh!t the bed against a good team when he's not playing in Dallas

And yes, Rodgers has had a similar thing for years which DoK and I call out repeatedly everytime the media jizzes their pants when he leads his annual heroic comeback against the Lions

Bucs' Chris Godwin appears to get away with pass interference on game-winning drive: 'Bailed out again' | Fox News (https://www.foxnews.com/sports/bucs-chris-godwin-pass-interference-cowboys)

[FrostKing]

"On the final game of 1972 season, Falcons running back Dave Hampton reaches 1,000 yards for the first time in franchise history. The team stops to celebrate the achievement at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, presenting Hampton with a trophy. On the next play, Hampton loses 6 yards. He doesn't get another carry and finishes the year with 995 yards."
