Cowboysfan8....these eagle fan knuckleheads that post on here believe that they are like rocky balboa....they still think being a philly fan means nobody should say anything or they will get a fat lip...it’s a joke...they cry every game about injuries and penalty’s and there eagle thread says it all...f...the eagle fans on this board...they can’t stay out of cowboy threads and it’s ridiculous...good luck being us...not gonnna happen...wentz may never win a playoff game...Foles is gone next year and Ertz isn’t an AP all pro...nufff Said...
It made the final score closer by not having him. That is a fact. But it would have hurt them if they did recover the onside kick.

You live in Philly?Retire to Philly?

That is Schottenheimer all his career. He is one of the worst and most predictable offensive coordinators of all time.
He has never had a top 10 offense in his career as a coordinator.

You’re drunk tonight. You should probably just call it a night.
ETA - or at least it seems like you’re drunk because I’ve never seen you lash out like this over something this trivial

What made it really bad, is Dallas spent the entire game daring Seattle to pass on 1st down, with 8-9 man boxes constantly, and whenever Seattle did, they had success, which was like 3 times, but still.
Seattle really beat themselves today, there were 5-6 teams that didn't make the playoffs, that this Seattle team doesn't beat. If I were a Dallas fan, I'd be concerned they had to squeak this one out, instead of dominating. New Orleans certainly won't play like this, and likely neither will the Rams.

Where was he at before Seattle?
When the run is getting stuffed like that really surprised they didn’t put the ball in Russ’ hands.

Yeah who knows what would have happened. Losing any ability to kick FG's and XP's is not ever going to help out was my point.
Jets from 2006-2011
Rams 2012-2014
And he even failed hard at Georgia in 2015 in the college ranks.

Text gets misunderstood at times. It’s seriously best you read much of the critical stuff I say with a smile.
I have VERY good friends and family (some have lived there forever) who are Cowboy fans too and I’ll bust their balls the same way. The ones who have never been get it the worst lol.
I have no animosity toward any of these guys personally at all. Like I said, I thought they’d bomb Seattle and even beat the Rams next round too. But I’ll rib Cowboys fan and Steady forever lol.

Gotcha - it's all good. BTW - I'm not a Cowboys fan by any means. I'm a Steelers fan (born and raised in Pittsburgh
) who lives in Philly. I respect your posts and knowledge about the Eagles. That's why I was a little surprised by your posts in this thread. Thanks for clarifying that it was all in good fun.

For the record I would rather you guys had your kicker. Losing him turned Russell nto a 4 down team and that’s scary AF.

And likewise to you. The only people I like talking to have just a BRUTAL sense of humor. Nothing is off limits except not being funny.

Yeah man. We could all hang out and it would be a good time. Seriously just messing with a couple guys and that’s it. Looking back I can see how someone could come to that conclusion but it really wasn’t meant to be harmful. Just messing around. @Cowboys4Life and @Steady Mooobin if I did anything to offend I apologize. Going forward if I take any jabs please read with a smile. I’m just busting balls.Gotcha - it's all good. BTW - I'm not a Cowboys fan by any means. I'm a Steelers fan (born and raised in Pittsburgh

It's honestly kind of sad. These guys are at practice for however many hours every day for something they already do really well. They really should have these guys spend 30 minutes of their practice every day practicing the other guy's job in case of injury.
An NFL punter putting in 30 minutes every day for years kicking field goals should be able to kick a 21 yard FG no problem.

Destroyed like OU losing to Bama or will it be closer? Care to make it interesting?

I guess I’m surprised at what an incredibly crappy kickoff that was at the end of the game.

I'm pretty sure of the 52 guys (Well now 51) available, 49 can put a ball sideways on a tee and kick it hard into the ground. It might not go perfectly 10 yards but it would have been better than whatever abortion that was.

There were several moments when we all just looked at each other, speechless with wtf the Hawks were doin......that "onside" attempt summed it up nicely.....all those passes into the flats with no blockers.....2 yards and a cloud of dust 1st 2nd and 3rd.....4th and 6 Russ completes a miraculous throw to baldwin....strange decisions.....the Cowboys D played a huge roll obviously, but still, poor playcalling

Yeah, I'm guessing this isn't right.
He is All-Pro punter this year and he's been doing that drop kick thing his whole life as he grew up playing Aussie Rules. He just screwed the pooch there, it happens.

Seriously, anyone that played soccer as a kid can do this. Obviously not as well as a pro, but the mechanics/technique are fairly basic.
Controlling a drop kick is levels of magnitude harder on the degree of difficulty.

Sounds like you should be able to easily line up a job as a special teams coach in the NFL

The thing about dropkicking though is that it offers irregular spin on the ball, it should do crazy things when it comes off the foot that players are totally unused to.
I think Dickson’s kick was a standard rugby kickoff. If you’ve ever seen rugby or Aus rules football, the kickoff is a high pooch and teammates run under it. The problem with Dickson’s kick was it was too long and low. Really it’s just surprising to me he didn’t do it better, I think the dropkick could be pretty spectacular if given the right practice time.

They had a similar situation earlier this year against the Bears. He tried to angle it like a comventional onside kick and it was just as bad an effort. All-Pro punter but this is obviously another skill that he doesn’t have for some reason.
Haven’t heard him talk about it but I’m guessing if he were being honest he just say he choked.
He’s had some other squirrely spots in games as well (see end of Detroit game).

I don't expect that to happen....Dak would have to play the game of his life and the defense would need to force a key turnover or something

On that play - most anyone would have been able to figure that out.Sounds like you should be able to easily line up a job as a special teams coach in the NFL
Kick a stationary tee'd up ball into the ground versus timing and aiming a drop kick. The margin for error alone (as we saw), makes it an easy call.
I mean maybe nobody on that team played soccer? Has the punter never done it? I can't imagine these were the case.

It is the weekend, anyone with doubts can go see for themselves in the backyard.
Prop a crushed beer can under the ball and kick it into the ground (it is hard to miss the ground), then drop a ball at their feet and time their kick just after it lands (hard to do right when you realize the ball isnt round).
Do each a couple few times and there you go. May be harder to do a few drop kicks after the balls fly in all directions and distances.
