The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling.....

lol... nah, not this time.

Like I said, I'll be the first to congratulate Canales on a well called game, and this was his best one yet.  Sure, there were a few head scratching calls, but on the whole, this game was night and day compared to what we've seen out of him here so far.

This game was everything I was saying I was hoping to see in that other thread last week, if you can't see the difference between these two games, then you just don't know football at all.  We kept the defense off balance all game and the big Rico game wasn't because of just a small handful of big plays, but by constant chunk yardage all game long to put up a huge game.

Still things to clean up, and this was against one of the worst defenses in the league, but this was a game you can look at as a positive movement forward for what feels like the first time since Canales has been here.

I think your boy scored this time but overall that was pretty much last week on repeat 

what?!?!

This was nothing like last week, last week we had 2 monster plays and then mostly dink and dunk plays.

This week was chunk yardage gain after chunk yardage game, we had I think it was 6 runs last week of over 5 yards, the announcers called out today that we had 12 runs of over 7 yards while I think it might have still been in the 3rd quarter.

Last week was because of great plays by Rico, this week was because Canales' play calling kept the Cowboys off balance all game long (although yes, credit to Rico again as well)

T-Mac scoring has zero to do with this thread, c'mon now

    • frank, that ball was very catchable where it hit his hands. I don't even think he bent at waist until after he dropped it. He actually slows his pace to position himself to catch the ball. That will never be a pass I'd blame on the QB.   NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-54-54.mp4
    • https://overthecap.com/position/left-guard   Lewis is the 9th highest paid Left Guard in the league. I bet it was higher when the deal was done two years ago.    https://overthecap.com/position/right-guard Hunt #3 highest Right Guard   There is a tab in the upper left portion of the graphic that allows looking at the different positions.   
    • It was a great play, but a better catch than throw. The TE boxes out Moehrig for position. Jumps to catch the ball. Catches it and turns 180 degrees while he's still in the air. Comes down and toe taps to stay in bounds and lunges for the goal post. That first part where he boxes out Moehrig for the ball is huge. If he doesn't do that and simply fades back to catch the ball (this is why Bryce doesn't trust XL), then Moehrig likely undercuts the pass for a break up or INT. Stafford trusts his receivers to make plays for him. Here I slowed it down so you can see it. Great play but amazing catch and score by the TE.  NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-45-32.mp4 NFL+ _ Live Games on mobile, NFL RedZone, NFL Network and More! - Google Chrome 2026-01-15 13-44-37.mp4
