This aggressive style may lead to some mistakes but is a welcome change… the Cowboys could not wait to get out of the stadium last night. Surprised the Bills signed him, does not look like the type of player McDERMOTT likes and Leonard Smith was a beast and more in control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no doubt in my mind that’s what Dak was doing there…a split second before that hit he looked like he was fighting for every yard and you’re not really giving the defender any time to react to giving yourself up. Looked like number 9 on the cowboys tripped rapp up a bit also As has been pointed out numerous times now in this forum over the last couple days, Dak was five yards past the 1st down marker and could have easily run out of bounds, untouched, as he was right there near the sideline, but he didn’t. Instead, he turned upfield to fight for more yardage but then he saw a few Bills coming at him fast, and at the very last moment, he decided to slide down. It should not have been a penalty AT ALL. We need more guys like Rapp, to be aggressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hits hard and occasionally makes a good play which is great, but he's out there trying to end guys careers. That hit on Dak, as he was sliding, was ridiculous. We were lucky that martin got flagged. Not a smart play.. please on trying to end the guys career .. he barely touched him. Flag yes outrageous no. He hits people, not a great cover guy. But an upgrade from S3 from last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a QB tries to abuse it, and gets lit up, then that's his choice, imo. The Rapp penalty was 15 yds for intent/appearance, which IS NOT a rule. Barely touched him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was risking health of starters on offense for points which make no sense other than to ego. Coach McD learned that in P*ts game a few years ago. I'm guessing the rationale was build some positive momentum for the Fins game. Really stupid decision though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had the most tackles in game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I was a little pissed on that 3rd and long completion to tyreek as i felt both he and taron johnson played it wrong. But he had a big pass breakup and INT in crunch time, so the man made plays when it counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
