Did Dallas play dirty yesterday?

Recommended Posts

I don't know if anyone made a topic on this, I know it was talked about in the game discussion yesterday.  I found it obvious how DeMarcus Lawrence went straight in on Daryl's knee.  To me it was a complete cheap shot.  Then today I thought about Greg Olsen's injury, which at the time I didn't think much of it.  Yet the more I considered what happened to Daryl, and wonder if the Cowboys made a conscious decision to play dirty?  Both Olsen and Williams came into the game hobbled.  Everyone knew Olsen had foot problems last year, and Williams came in with a knee injury suffered in the preseason.  How is it Olsen gets his foot stepped on when the ball didn't go his way on that play? (Someone correct me if I'm wrong)  Again, we know how Lawrence dove at Williams' knee.  I'll tell you like this, knowing these Cowboys, I wouldn't put it pass them if they went Greg Williams' bountygate style out there.  All I can say is, we bet not see these punks again this year, which of course I doubt they make the playoffs.

Dude totally went after William’s knee. 

100% dead obvious and it was bush league, Lawrence was quiet outside that fumble recovery early in the game, then after he placed the crown of his helmet into WIlliams' knee after the play was over while on all fours I saw it soon as they did the replay.

What really sucks about the NFL is that this sort of thing happens all the time with no real repercussions. Dude should be sued if he blatantly costs another player money because of a short career.

    • Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.     
    • With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4. 
    • Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
