NFL GDT: 2018 NFC Divisional Round: (2) Los Angeles Rams vs (4) Dallas Cowboys

[Halladay]

Coming in this week it was about how the Rams couldn't stop the run. Well, they held Zeke to 47 yards on 20 Carries. The Cowboys got pushed around.

Wait, this is before my time, but didn't McNabb have Westbrook running the ball behind him? Wasn't he a game-changing RB?

He did, but Westbrook didn't start who he was until 2003. That was Donovan's 5th season. Before that is was basically Donovan and Duce Staley running the ball. The Cowboys skilled players are much better than his at that point.

Lol McMabb was drafted in 99 and thrusted into the starter role. Wouldn't have thought.

In his rookie year, the starter ahead of him at the beginning of the year was Doug Pederson. Luckily he is a much better coach than player .

That O-line for the Rams is awesome.

 

[Terry Yake]

garrett is going to become the next marvin lewis isn't he

or he might already be actually

 

[BKIslandersFan]

Another one who's play I only saw later in his career but McNabb always came across as a borderline superstar (never consistently there) to me. I'd easily rank him above Dak.

Yea, seems like a lazy comparison.

 

[John Price]

Wasn't Dak's fault they lost yesterday. D was flat out bad. Gave up like 260 yards rushing. That by far was the most yards they had given up on the ground this season

 

[YEM]

Brett Favre often came across as a dumb as **** QB though. Granted, I this I'm biased because of the 09 championship game but he feels like a guy who bought into his own hype too much and it led to some really, REALLY ill-advised throws.

favre is so overrated
equally capable of winning the game or pissing it stupidly away

 

[Habsawce]

That O-line for the Rams is awesome.

That's what happens when you dont have any injuries. Most Olines in the NFL are on their 3rd or 4th guy at this time of the year.

The Rams deserved this win and were by far the much better team. As a Cowboys fan, I think the future looks bright for the Cowboys. I know for certain they will have a new OC and a true QB coach next season. It’s a must that they have a different offensive scheme going forward. Hopefully next year, they could be the team with a 1st round bye and have those playoff games at home.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He desperately needs a TE to catch passes. Needs a WR to complement Cooper.

Just a tight end and a dependable one. I think Gallup can be a good #2. The biggest issue with the Cowboys on offense is the scheme sucks. Zeke is the best player but Dak is at his best in empty or spread formations. Need to find an OC or a way to make that work.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He misses too many throws. Always been this way and always will be.

So does every QB. This is a lazy argument.

Expected to come into the thread and read pages about how the Rams run game looked dominant and the Cowboys LBs were completely ran over. That was the story of the game, and really the only story.

But instead to many people.. it's Dak's fault?

I just don't get it.

I don't bother anymore lol.

To that point, maybe there is a reason why the Rams had such an easy time running.

Lol Rams were 13-3 and treated by most in the media as underdogs. They're allowed to talk trash after dominating them.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

I have clue how he survived those 3 consecutive 8-8 session and that was almost 10 years ago

That’s like straight out of Any Given Sunday

 

[John Price]

ESPN is having a field day with their talk shows today

Eager to see what SAS has to say about the meltdown Saturday

"Cowboys have lost 8 straight road playoff games (last win 1992 NFC Championship)"

 

[Troy McClure]

That’s like straight out of Any Given Sunday

Even if it is exaggerated, it points to one way the extra week of preparation lets teams with the bye week to dig in on who they'll be facing.
