Moore set to be 4th starting QB for Cowboys this season
While my family enjoyed the holiday season in the background, completely oblivious to the travesties that is the Cowboys 2015, I remained an unyielding structure in front of my television.
On the receiving end of those mistakes were safeties Calvin Pryor (4 tackles, PD) and Marcus Gilchrist (1 tackle, PD), along with cornerbacks Marcus Williams (1 tackle, PD) and, of course, Darrelle Revis (1 tackle, PD). “I’m sure that will be a decision coach Garrett makes as we move on, and we’ll go from there”. “Playoffs or not, we have to string some games together”. It wasn’t pretty today, all of them are not going to be pretty, but good teams win the ugly games.
It’s a different offense than Dallas runs with Romo though.
The Dallas Cowboys will start the quarterback Sunday at Buffalo who had three interceptions in his previous game over the one who had only one pick.
Though the Jets would have been in the playoffs after the end of the Week 14, the team doesn’t control its own playoff destiny, meaning a loss to Dallas on Saturday night would have been a devastating blow to the team’s surprise postseason chances.
If they’re being honest with themselves, they know they can not commit seven penalties, miss an extra point and a field goal and have no rushing attack in the first half and not be trailing by at least a couple of touchdowns by the intermission. Moore was an intelligent, highly accurate player at the college level. Oh, I bet they wanted us to get excited, but there’s an old saying in Texas, “Fool me once, shame on…shame on you”. We just felt like given what the circumstances were, that was the right move for our team at the time.
“We’re developing a way to win games”, Fitzpatrick said after the Jets’ 19-16 win Saturday night. He also missed a point-after attempt (their first such miss in 289 attempts, including the postseason), costing the Jets four points they could’ve had, which would’ve made it harder for Dallas to come back. Dez Bryant had 50 yards (nine targets, four catches) and a TD which shouldn’t feel like a big game but it just his third 50-yard performance since signing his big deal. He had a 70.6 rating and the Cowboys are 1-6 when he starts.
Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick recorded his only touchdown pass in the game and regained the lead for his team 16-13 in the fourth quarter, when he connected with wide receiver Eric Decker for a three-yard score. Cole Beasley caught three balls including a big 23-yarder in the fourth quarter but had two more in his hands that fell to the ground. “We’ve still got a lot of football left”.
Coming in to the 2015 season, National Football League experts were all over the map in predicting just how the year would unfold for the New York Jets.
Thompkins did this so he gets my game ball. He nearly got the Cowboys to overtime with a drive inside the final two minutes to get within the range of Dan Bailey, who is having an all-Pro caliber year.
On the fifth play of the series, Fitzpatrick hit Kenbrell Thompkins deep down the right sideline for a 53-yard gain.
Yet, although Fitzpatrick is doing everything – and at times even more during the Jets current four-game win streak that the Jets have asked him to do – he can’t do it all alone.
