When were the flags for the IHTTF penalties actually thrown? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I seem to remember them being thrown close to the end of the play when the result of the play was evident
This is the kind of game where we shut down Pooka and everybody acts like Orlando and gang fixed our defensive woes only for us to come out and play like crap the next week against TCU
It's stupid to me that a 5-yard penalty on 3rd and 10 like Illegal Hands to the Face results in an automatic first down. Why couldn't it just result in a 5-yard penalty and replay the down?
The 49ers are missing their 2 starting tackles and are the only undefeated team in the NFC. The big difference between us and the 49ers is coaching. Shanahan is Isaac Newton compared to Garrett. If we lose to the Eagles this week I wouldn't be surprised if Marinelli gets fired or Garrett completely take over offensive playcalling in an attempt to scapegoat someone (i.e., Moore or Marinelli)
Yes Dak should definitely shoulder some of the blame but the offensive scheme and playcalling doesn’t really do him any favors or maximize his strengths. What happened to all the motion and RPOs from the first few games? The offense has gotten increasingly more vanilla throughout the season which points to Garrett meddling more with the offensive playcalling and gameplanning as Tony alluded to yesterday
IF Garrett finally gets fired, who would be good candidates for the job? Riley would be an obvious option but who knows if he'd want to leave what he's got at OU. I remember Bieniemy getting a few looks from teams last year
To think “experts” said this was the most talented Cowboys team since the 90s. What a fucking joke. I said it last week and I’ll say it again: this team will NEVER accomplish anything meaningful with Garrett charge. He deserves to be fired on the tarmac like Lane Kiffin
I still find it borderline miraculous Darnold recovered from Mono so quickly. If we lose this game Garrett should be fired on the spot. I know, that’s wishful thinking
Pretty sure Orlando was asked about possibly running a 4-man front during a coordinator media availability last season and he said he would stick with a 3 man front and players just needed to stick to stick to their assignments
Maybe I’m overthinking it but a lot of the offensive series felt like 2017 playcalling all over again. About the only thing we were missing was the play where Sam rolls out to his left and all the routes go to the opposite side of the field.
I think if they somehow miss the playoffs, he’s gone. If they don’t win a playoff game he may be gone. Other potential openings like the Falcons or Texans could be tempting too if Riley really does have any NFL aspirations. Both of those teams have legit offensive weapons and aren’t complete rebuilds like Washington.
