Thursday Night Football: Cowboys @ Bears

Overseer : 12/5/2019 6:46 pm



Crucial game for Chicago. Seahawks or 49ers have 1 of the 2 WC spots all but locked up. However the Bears still play Green Bay & Minnesota, so they’re still alive if they win tonight. Trubisky is rather clearly at this point not the answer and does not deserve to be signed long-term. In a draft with Mahomes and Watson, it’s a kick in the balls for the Bears who – amazingly given what a classic franchise they are – have basically never had a good quarterback (post Truman administration, anyway…)

Unsurprisingly, the race for the NFC East is between Dallas & Philadelphia, neither of whom has been particularly impressive.

Go Bears.

Take a look at those schedules

and you see The Eagles have the easier schedule BUT, the Redskins can still win the division (how bad is the East) if they win out and Dallas loses out (a possibility) and Philly loses to the Giants twice. Wow, what a shitty division.

Anyone else just notice after Zekes longest run of this season?  
trueblueinpw : 12/5/2019 9:33 pm : link
He rips off a 30+ gash and then stayed on the field and got the ball the next three plays. It seems like every time Barks rips off a nice gash he gets a blow the next series. Never understand that about Murmur.
Looks like a broken leg

I know he just up that catch but he had great coverage on all three of those targets. Wish we had a LB like him.
Jason Garrett is one great HC-

I like how the Cowboys score on their first drives, then the other team adjusts, and the Cowboys suck the rest of the way.

And if that's a Giant in coverage, they call PI on that play.

Its a replay of last weeks Cowboys game so far
The NFC East this year makes me want to punch a nun.  
an_idol_mind : 12/5/2019 10:23 pm : link
Just consider: if the Giants were sitting at 4-8 right now, we'd be running playoff scenarios to consider how things would have to break in order to make the playoffs. That's how bad the NFC East is right now. A 4-8 team would have an outside chance of taking the division.

It's one thing to just suck in a normal season. It's another thing to see an entire division full of garbage and know that if this team could have gotten its head out of its ass at all then they'd still have a shot at the playoffs.
Yes. Eeeexxellent.

No, it's not you. He sounded ridiculous when he tried to claim that it was not intentional grounding.
Yeah he kept harping on being out of the tackle box

to help him decide if he cuts Garrett loose in the morning. They will probably indicate that JG will need to fly home on a different plane.
Both Buck and Aikman were hard on the Cowboys tonight  
GeofromNJ : 12/5/2019 11:47 pm : link
Talked about how unprepared they seemed, with no sense of urgency. Aikman made the point that, while it's possible that Garrett could be let go during this season (actually said that), there's no one else on the staff capable of being a head coach. I was shocked at how down on the team and the coaching staff both announcers were. Aikman admitted, obviously, that if Dallas wins out, they win the division and they're in the playoffs. But then he added that "once they're in, they're going to have to win a game."

If you're referring to Buck and Aikman, what you're saying is not true. Aikman had lots to say about Nagy and the great job he's done this year, specifically as to how his coaching has impacted the play of Trubisky. Aikman also applauded the Bears' ability to field a highly competitive team despite the number of starters on the sidelines.
This is what I was talking about

I was surprised by Aikman.  
idinkido : 12/6/2019 6:31 am : link
Thought he was impartial in his reporting, highlighting the Bears strong points, and panning Cowboys play and poor execution. Basically said, Cowboys do not correct mistakes and emphasized how Dak was off target throughout the week. He was also surprised by Trubisky throws, some of which were highly dangerous but somehow ended up as completions.
Earlier this week Aikman was very critical of Jerry Jones  
Rick in Dallas : 12/6/2019 6:55 am : link
Stating that of all the NFL organizations, the Cowboys are most non traditional team. Stated the toughest coaching job in NFL is the Cowboys due to Jerrah.

Some of Trubisky’s completions were absolute gifts. He’s not getting away with that all the time.
In the early 90s when Jimmy was coaching the Cowboys,  
rnargi : 12/6/2019 8:32 am : link
the team embodied a confidence that was reflective of Jimmy. They expected to win. To dominate. They were a good football team, though irritating to watch from the perspective of a non-fan because they had the attitude, "it ain't bragging if you can back it up".

It's obvious that this Cowboy 'attitude' never left in their down years and when other coaches not as brash as Jimmy have been in Dallas, and that includes the Tuna. Jerrah wanted to be 'the man', and he and his 'attitude' has permeated this bunch like a weak but omnipresent, annoying stench ever since Jimmy left.

Players go to the Cowboys as if their going to a country club or the red carpet, to be celebrated. They assume they're winners without putting in the effort. We've seen this time and time again. While talented for years, they have always lacked mental toughness. While capable, they've always assumed more than they've earned.

This team is a not, in essence, a 'team'. It hasn't been since Jimmy left. Jimmy is the last real coach to hold them accountable. That's Jerry's fault. Even the Tuna knew he wasn't the man, but who could fault him for taking the money?

Arrogance humbled. Again, and again, and again.

What a waste of talent because of misplaced hubris.

Usually Aikman is pretty fair when he does Cowboy games and pans the Cowboys when called for. Last night however, I did notice that he did seem overly concerned with the Cowboys play, perhaps a sign of exasperation with his team.
