[stbugs]

Interesting. It almost seems like they think they are down by 14. Need to score before the 2 minute warning or it doesn't count?

 

[The General]

Gets the game tying TD and passes the 2 point conversion to himself to win the game.

 

[Deamon]

There's more action in here than the Saints / Cowboys GDT

this IS the GDT

 

[GreenNGold]

ugh, CMike looks terrible

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

We did it.

 

[Deamon]

Gets the game tying TD and passes the 2 point conversion to himself to win the game.

Does he get 7 points for unconverted TDs?

 

[btemp]

Putting him in cold on a key play like that was dumb. Also, can't figure out why they aren't feeding Randle. He's no Murray, but he's clearly the best back and why not feed him for a game and see what happens. Might end up with a Devonta Freeman.

Thinking he gets the pass and receiving TD.. HB toss, too back to him, he takes it to the house

 

[Donnybrook]

Critical 3rd down coming up. Cmike time?

 

[Deamon]

It's obvious Cmike is gonna get carries next week.

 

[RBM]

Randle nowhere to be found in the 4th qtr.

 

[The General]

whoa

I'm convinced McFadden has compromising pictures of Jerry Jones dressed up as an Arkansas cheerleader.

 

[bagger]

On pace for:

4 carries

-8 yards

need to take out his top 3 runs.

 

[The Dude]

Would be a little disappointing if it took a month for him to learn short yardage,

 

[N Zone]

Awesome, T-Will Tochdown!

 

[Interseptopus]

Would be a little disappointing if it took a month for him to learn short yardage,

Especially if THAT is what happens.

At this rate he just might get positive yards after the Cowboys bye week

 

[EastonBlues22]

I'm beginning to wonder why they even activated him if this was their "plan" for him.

Maybe he has an aura like the character in a moba computer game. C-Mike's presence on the battlefield causes +15 strength, +15 speed, and +15 agility to all allied warriors within a 100 yard radius.

They activated him for depth. The notion that he was going to get 5-20 touches was completely absurd.It's amazing how blind people can become to "their" players.

Are you suggesting that it's normal for teams to dress a 4th RB for "depth" when said RB doesn't play special teams?It was pretty reasonable to assume that they activated him to actually use him in some capacity.

You can reason your way into anything. The fact is they haven't put him on the field, at all, yet.

Dressing a 4th RB who doesn't play special teams for "depth" is far from normal practice. It was perfectly reasonable to assume that the Cowboys would use Michael in some capacity if they activated, and the inherent logic of that was evidenced by the overwhelming number of outside observers (fans, writers, analysts, etc.) who came to that very conclusion. Claiming that such a belief is the product of bias simply doesn't pass the smell test.

The bias was the 5-20 touches.

Anyone who flat-out expected 20 touches, sure, but that's not the way that quote reads to me and I doubt that's the way it was intended (since 5 carries was included in the range).

All I take from that is that he might hardly be used at all, or he might be heavily featured, or anything in between...nothing would surprise.

Evidently

 

[The General]

Can he rush the passer?

Five touches is hardly "heavily featured."

Why do you refuse to acknowledge the extremely wide range of possibilities contained in the phrase you are quoting? You're choosing to focus on half of what that phrase implies...and it just happens to be the half that makes the guy you're quoting look bad.

 

[Capella]

Looked great. I'm all in.

5 plays is all the Cowboys would have needed tonight if cm played them. That is heavily featured

I'm capturing the entire range....that is again the point. I'm not going to keep helping you see it.

 

[The General]

Overtime is about to get Cmiked.

 

[bulger2holt]

Overtime is CMike time

 

[RushHour]

C-Mike can still seal the win in OT!! LET'S GO.

 

[EBF]

They were saving him for OT all along.

(just kidding they will keep running McFadden at 2.2 YPC and lose the game)

 

[slackjawedyokel]

They are saving him for the 4th quarter.

Or overtime.

*Ahem*

 

[Interseptopus]

I'm surprised Cmike wasn't out there calling the coin toss

 

[mquinnjr]

I'm surprised Cmike wasn't out there calling the coin toss

 

[AAABatteries]

How many times was "WE DID IT!" said?

 

[Deamon]

Apparently Cmike Sneezed during the FG attempt and caused it to go left.

 

[mquinnjr]

There's more action in here than the Saints / Cowboys GDT

this IS the GDT

Evidently

It's bigger.

 

[The Man With No Name]

I'm surprised Cmike wasn't out there calling the coin toss

He should have been out there to block the field goal and return it for a touchdown

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I'm surprised Cmike wasn't out there calling the coin toss

I've reached my quota of likes for the day

 

[SengerCJ]

Could've been CMike

 

[RushHour]

Spiller has no sense for the occasion.

I don't need help seeing anything.

"The notion that he would get 5-20 touches was completely absurd" is explicitly stating that expecting any outcome in that range was absurd.

It wasn't.

If conveying that wasn't your original intention, then you expressed yourself poorly up front. If that's exactly what you meant to express, then I think you're missing the mark on what was a reasonable expectation and we can agree to disagree to that effect.

 

[FreeBaGeL]

Best -1 yard run I've ever seen.

 

[Interseptopus]

I'm surprised Cmike wasn't out there calling the coin toss

Cmike would have won the coin toss and the saints never would have gotten the ball

 

[The General]

Next week, 2 carries.

 

[georg013]

LOLOLOL ?

 

[jurb26]

Played 1 snap despite Dunbar injury.

Next week should be more involved.

 

[RBM]

Not saying Michael is the guy, but the Cowboys desperately need a running game.

 

[EBF]

I would say his role will increase next week, but the Cowboys seem hellbent on sticking with this Randle/DMC pair. At this point their logic eludes me entirely. I half expect them to sign Felix Jones and give him the start next week.

 

[bulger2holt]

maybe he'll get a series next week?

 

[Interseptopus]

I would say his role will increase next week

Yep. He might get two plays
