Skip Bayless reacts to Cowboys Week 1 loss against Rams | NFL | UNDISPUTED

I had a great

week

end. Shannon had a great

week

end. I just don't know what her weekend was like. How are you? What is that to anyone? Don't do this here. Do not do this to me. today let me know what it's for wait are we talking about lebron james are we talking about aaron rodgers or who are we talking about we're talking about everyone maybe maybe it's in honor of tom brady that's what we're doing the goat the real goat not the goat false hello tampa jameis resigned uh because he could have what was james winston throwing pigs left and right was that to wait was for the lebron james that I saw play seven minutes of the fourth quarter in what was that Saturday night in a beating of 30 points trying to fill the stat sheet trying to get to a triple-double that I predicted and it fell short that lebron james the faker maybe kawasha played 30 minutes in the second half and stopped wasting these big leaguers oh, i have this idea, What I have to say is how was that ref last night at a cowboy game?

Don't do that referee, don't do that, yeah, let's talk about that referee, it's really going to be about that, okay, okay. uh okay, I'm going to explain exactly what happened with the lost

cowboys

, we had a packed show, this is what happened. The Cowboys missed some late chances to tie the game against the Rams last night, trailing 20-17 with over 11 minutes left. Dallas failed on a 4-3 attempt from the 11-yard line instead electing to score a field goal, the Cowboys almost got it close enough for a game-tying field goal attempt with less than a minute remaining, but a 47-yard completion to Michael Gallup was called again due to offensive pass interference Mike McCarthy said he was surprised there was a call anyway after the game and the officials waited for the call saying it was a clear and obvious quote on the field Shannon, don't laugh right now, did this cost the

cowboys

the game? no, no, normally, when you watch a ball game before i pull that scam, they can move on if he stays for the rest of the season, aldon smith will be back as player of the year cam ben roethlisberger, let him go, it's over, I have it.

For a visual wrestler he's out for five years and plays like he's playing and he's only going to get better, so he's going to be the comeback player of the year. Jump, it was a foul, you can't extend your arm back and Jaylen Ramsey did a great job selling the flame, you know, jump, put his hands up and says, oh man, but he showed that he extended his arm, but in the process of a ball game, jump because, average, I just want to know one thing: Aldon Smith hit Jared Goff. in my head when he threw the interception it's not a back and forth yada yada yada it's a simple yes or a simple no, you can answer is yes, okay, thank you, during the course of the game, what time was it that I received a question simple?

I have a simple question for you. What time was the game? It doesn't matter. Well, I'm asking a simple question, just give me a simple answer. It was in the second half. It was late in the third quarter. He was still one. even in the fourth quarter, go ahead, thank you, but it happened with a closed face, the next question happened, okay, there are some things that go, you can look at the stat sheet and, without looking at the game, you look at it and say, it's OK, were there any turnovers? that the team that lost had turnovers because if you turn the ball over you tend to lose, especially when you turn it over more than once, no, Dallas didn't have turnovers, okay, go and look at the maximum time of possession, only 25 minutes now. the best indicator omits what you were on third down, your efficiency on third down and omits what was dollars on third down, three of 12. oh, okay, 33, yeah, you plan on winning a lot of games, okay, so there You go again and that's what happened,

skip

, I thought. zeke ran the ball zeke looked like zeke from oh he was running hard uh we did a great job catching the ball out of the backfield the offensive line is going to be a problem you're right tiger you need to get that direction but

skip

the look the course of the ball game the calls will be equal they missed the call I think they made the call you can't say it in a moment like that because there are many times that you say in a moment like that the game is on the line, you let the players decide it well, he did it, michael gallup decided to extend his arm to separate himself from jalen

rams

ey and the official through the flag, it's as simple as that, so there was no official cost in the game because if Look, if the cowboys are what you say they are, They shouldn't even have been in this position with all that talent man I just don't have it Jen I ran out of food because I was serving a smorgas at a buffet the cowboy elves came.

Books came with scissors, dolphins came, how about a skill with food? I have to compensate for all the

loss

, all the lost income that I had during the quarantine, but you are going to put me back in business. They would have a restaurant. that only goes for

loss

es because that's all you take in this program, so you're used to losing, what about what I do? You take them here, you serve them there. Do I understand my friend? Yes, I understand my friend. That's another topic for the next one. topic yes, I have 42 cases less than you, now it's my turn, I'll give you this.

My team didn't play well enough on either side of the ball to deserve to win that game and be in a position to win that game, especially in the second half, my offense didn't play well enough nor did my quarterback play as well. good enough to be in position to win that game, but with 20 seconds left, my quarterback made a great throw and michael gallup made a great break on a really good play corner that is now the highest paying corner in all pro football jaylen

rams

ey and he took a big step forward and the shot was right on time and right on the money jaylen ramsey was defeated and all they did was make your hand normal and predictable fighting there was no clear extension of the right arm of michael gallup, didn't push it back, but to jalen ramsey's credit, knowing that he got hit because he was stoned and was going to be embarrassed on Sunday night national television on nbc, he sold it. he threw his head back like he was in a car accident and he got away with it because the referee bought him i don't know why maybe because he's watching it's jalen ramsey he can't get beat that bad he's the highest paid cornerback in football I have to throw some yellow because he told me to throw yellow and I reacted subliminally to throw yellow.

There is nothing wrong with what any of the players were doing. They are doing what can be seen on every other past play in the National Football League. It's called a hand fight, there's no push, there's no full extension, you're defeated, in fact Michael Gallup didn't even need to fight him because he had him in one big stride and you can't make that decision at any point in the game. but especially if you're going to decide the game because he caught it clean, we didn't have any situation in Green Bay, was it a sack or not, desk dez caught it in Green Bay, Michael Gale clearly caught it there and the point is he went down cleanly with the ball and when I saw a yellow flag waving in the picture I thought surely it had to be something completely off the ball, surely maybe cd lamb was being held up in the middle of the field and the dallas cowboys would just reject the penalty, but no, wait a second he's in that spot yeah you're kidding because worst case scenario that would almost certainly give you extra time because you've got the ram kicker of yesteryear you've got Greg the zerline leg by the In the way in which Greg, the leg had baptized himself a cowboy, as most cowboy kickers do, had missed a 53-yard field goal that for him is like an extra point with the leg he has and he missed it wide right and the The point is your point about: Is it okay?

Did Alden Smith run his hand across Jared Goff's face? Whatever the shield is, I assume he had it on. Yes, he did, it should have been an interception. No, it shouldn't have been the cowboys who won with a field goal. Mind you, but they hadn't missed a field goal before from 53 yards away and the point is that those things cancel themselves out, but in the end it's fair to say that a false ref flag cost the Cowboys a chance to win. at least make it to overtime, I don't know, maybe they would have scored, they had 20 seconds left, really who knows, they could have scored, but where are you going to blame Mike McCarthy for going ahead on fourth down, okay and not taking the fear?

That's a whole different topic if you want to get into that, but I think you just agreed with me. No, it shouldn't have been a flight. No, I didn't agree with you. I told you from the beginning about the flag he spread. I didn't agree with you, well I think everyone agrees with me, so you lose, it doesn't matter who that is, me, me, five followers on Twitter, that's the ones that agree with you, three million, oh, oh , those, those, okay, let's go. give it your all, you took the l, the guy extended when he didn't have to, you said he didn't have to, okay, let's go back to 11. 46 left in the game, there's still a lot of ballgame left and the cowboys have it third and six down on this, on the right 14 yard line and they're on a roll, they're starting to cook, they finally found some rhythm on offense and cd lamb had just backed off a 20 yard punt that just brought up the sideline.

I live and Mike McCarthy goes with the flow, he goes with the momentum, I have no problem going forward on fourth down, but I have a big problem with the play that was called on third down, here we go again, it was in Minnesota last year on Sunday. The night, again, Dax starts to warm up, you have three potential 1,000 yard receivers split, you have Zeke who caught three of 31 and one for a touchdown and all of a sudden you run like a draw action play for Zeke trying. to trick him trying to trick him that maybe he can hit the right box and maybe he can find something that cuts them seven yards, sure enough he got three and all of a sudden you're stuck and now it's fourth and three. and I think they had already decided that we're going to go, we're going to run this play and that play, I tweeted it, I tweeted it was that, I'm going for it on fourth down, say whatever you had.

I already planned to do it, yeah, okay, so they run shallow crosses, yeah, everyone crosses and a rookie playing in the first game of him will be. I think he was the main one in this play. I'm not sure, but it looked like it was supposed to. There's supposed to be a draft pick for him, and by the way, I lost my tight end, Blake Jarwin, last night. I used to call him Shannon Jarwin last night because I thought he was going to have a big successful year. I'm not saying he. He would be a pro bowler.

I thought he would become a force in this attack. He knows how to execute those pick plays better than Dalton Schultz off the bench and Blake Darwin is probably gone for the season with a torn ACL on one play. that was just weird where it wasn't like he just planted it he planted it and it just exploded it's almost like an achilles injury okay so now cd lamb my guy runs a shallow cross and the point of this play is you don't You don't have to run your surface cost three yards deep because you're going to run for the first down because he's the best run after catch receiver they have and Dak's throw was a low bunt and a bunt afternoon and that Jordan boy.

Fuller, who is a six-round pick out of Ohio State, who was a first-team all-Big Ten safety last year, breaks the ball like crazy, like a demon, and just na cd had to slow down just to touch and he wasn't ready and they just hit him from behind and I say advantage battering rams, I say he was just a great defensive tackle, he did a great job because he didn't get caught in the wash, he gave himself enough room to back off and see how it played out. and once you saw him on the show you know he's going once he takes off inside, he knows how to make shallow crosses so he drives the ball so the only thing Shades could have done is keep pushing up, keep fighting to do it bubble even more, as you like. the guy bubbled even more yeah but once he didn't make it bubble it was dead right it was it was there he just nailed it he didn't cd he didn't even see it coming and he wrapped it so tight that he went down around knees, you know where you are, you're just dead right and you can argue, that's the game, except there was still 11 minutes and 46 seconds left, so here's my problem with my team, here we go again last year.

The team was one and seven in a one-score game. Yeah, some of them were a little tricky because they would seriously rally and get back to a one-score game, but they didn't really have a chance, but you know and I know what happened. in new orleans last year remember 12 to 10. remember what happened in the jets 24-22 uh, i told you i just mentioned the minnesota game 28-24 whenthey went from dak to giving it to z zeke and new england was 13 to nine and I'm not going to, I'm going to throw out the Chicago one, it was 31-24, but they were way behind, but Philadelphia was at nine.

My point is here we go again one and seven last year and this is your, this is your. chance to win the first game so guess what it was 15 of 18 in the first half for 187 yards that's right that's cool man and at halftime he was tweeting like that nice to see says amari gallup cd cd amari gallop and z and zeke and it looks like oh here we go here we go again it looks like this could be the most explosive offense in football in the second half dak prescott went 10 of 21 for a total of 79 yards and to your point in the second half They did one of eight on third down, how are you going to win a road game when your quarterback throws for 79 and you go one of eight on third down?

He should have run the ball more jumping, they were 27 for a dollar 36, they are averaging five yards per clip, uh, uh, what was Tony Pollard? Tony Pollard was doing a great job running the ball, even he didn't used to be Mike, but now. he's Tony, he earned your respect enough to become Tony, even that was getting out of harm's way, he was getting the first try, but I think what the cowboys wanted to do, the cowboys want to show it because the problem you had with Jason . It's just that you didn't feel like he was aggressive enough and didn't take risks, you're sure sometimes you have to show that you have confidence in your team by going for it.

Mike McCarthy tried to show that I have confidence. on my team especially and he's kind of driven right, what's his favorite word? It's about tempo. get six yards and two plays and we'll call them, we'll have them ready to go boom boom, let's get back into rhythm at the line of scrimmage for fourth down and they still didn't get back to the line fast enough. from scrimmage because they let the battering ram give the cowboys credit on defense because the battering rams blew this up they sell it for field goals they got mr p-a-t okay but the battering rams were dishing out the battering rams were really going to jump up and down the field and then the cowboys would blow their backs and keep them out of the end zone and make them settle for field goals, so their defense gave them a chance, gave Dak and his offense a chance to get back on track and get back to get up because think about a jump when it was 14-13, the cowboys were ahead at halftime after having played so poorly in the first half because the cowboys defense had done a great job holding down the cowboys offense.

Rams off the football field, but jump, there's one guy playing for the other. team and you say when I see him I never see him pop, he never jumps off the TV, guess what in five games against my team he finally got his first sack and it was a coverage sack that Dak couldn't find anyone on. and he waited and waited and finally aaron donald let go and fired him, way to go, can we?, can we play a little bit of that tape. I want to show the guy that jumped, he said you know he doesn't pop, puppy, look at this jump. look at this look at this skill now that's why it doesn't stand out because it's going to oh that's quite a pro that 70th guy is going to the hall of fame and he just went through that that's what's called a coverage look classic. that guy over there look at this look at this that's zeke's ability zeke elliott weighs 225 pounds and made him look like a five pound bag of flour i hope he can do that to any running back he lets loose with, i hope so if he's the best player, tell me he is the best player in all of football, the best player in all of football.

First of all, did you see it in that short, in that third, in short, where he got knocked backwards and he turned completely, sir, have mercy? You don't see him beat the guard first, well if you have to be the guard and then you have a running back come at you and he still hits the quarterback, that guy is special, but that's how it was. I want to remind you that it was his. first sack in five games against my cowboys and in the first four I was the whole game and I ended up saying wait a second if he played tonight if he was hurt and I had to look for his participation oh he played every play and I No, I didn't notice it, but Wait, if I'm not mistaken, his team has won more games than he has lost against your team.

I'm right? Yeah, okay, okay, but that's the point you're making. saying it's reggie white are you saying it's lt or charles haley? I just don't see it again. I think he is one of the best. I will give you the best player of 20, but he is not the best player in professional football. What are you talking about? Not playing quarterback is fine and some of the guys who play quarterback don't play well at that position. Do they play quarterback as well as he played? That's not the point. He can only do so much as a defender, but he guesses what you play as a quarterback.

You can't win games, you can only do so much and by the way, my center, my perennial pro bowl center has retired, he's been forced to retire, could you do it? But you know going into the season that he retired, I have Joe Looney as a backup. center to center, okay, last night I had someone named terence steele, an undrafted rookie free agent out of texas tech, starting and finishing at right tackle, he played every snap last night he played 72 snaps at right tackle and because lyle collins is obviously in his right, but I actually thought the torn steel fought against his tail and held his ground, well, I mean, his throw was huh, it gave the belief that he was fired late, but overall I thought it was decent given that it was an undrafted street free agent, I'll really take it. yeah you keep talking about aaron donald you got a guy on the other side who makes 21 million dollars a year okay where was he?

I don't know because, to your point, I kept telling you that I believe in Jay Glasser's assessment of Alden Smith and that five years out of football I think he's going to come back and be a monster and he almost took over the game, he almost did well, that bodes well, that gives me some hope for the future and, by the way, young Travon Diggs in high school. Last night, Stefan's little brother from Alabama, I had to tell them he was all over the field and that gave me heart and hope because he's a playmaker who was always around the ball, he almost went down with a slanted interception and I'm not saying that he's going to be the defensive player of the year, but to me he looked like a player, yeah, so I have two things going for me on defense and yet, what did I tell you last week, Earl Thomas, why didn't you hire him? ?

Again, my safeties are just guys, they're good kids, they try hard, but Earl, I don't care how much trouble he caused in Baltimore, Seattle, he makes a difference, he made the Pro Bowl, but if you bring something, I don't. It doesn't matter how cute and cuddly he is if he's going to destroy your house, why would you want to have him there? Why maybe he can help you build your house before he decides? Maybe he has a year to build your house and is in his prime. but not the best behavior, but the best behavior because he grew up a cowboy fan in south Texas and went to the University of Texas and always wanted to play for this team, maybe he would behave better if it's better than what they have, have two.

Decent young kids who said their young guys were safe, but they're not this guy, this guy still made the pro bowl last year on a team that had 14 and two jumpers, they wanted him out, they wanted him, they wanted him out. Seattle won. him out, I give it to you, but you want it in your young locker room, yeah, because it would scare you if it was in my locker room, well, you know I would, I would, it would scare jerry, yeah, but it jumps at the end of the day that you couldn't put this on that call you had opportunities if the three of twelve is the one on the jump that we didn't go up on fourth down you're one of three on fourth down and you only had the ball for 24 and a half minutes, yeah, so who are you waiting for? win by having the ball? 24 and a half minutes, three or 12 on third down one or three on fourth down without family, the ramps ran 153 yards, that's why that time of possession is 36 to 24. you ran for a dollar 36 is fine, but it's not What did the rams do well when you, well, here's the thing when you have the ball if you stop throwing it in every doubt and stop thinking that you are running it, you have pats on my houses.

Well, my pat that my houses threw for 79 yards in the second half isn't good enough, but it should have been a 45-yard bomb for Michael Gallup eventually. At worst, it didn't exist in the army, if you thought, what did he say? What do you expect me to say? We screwed it up, no, no, he said it was clear and obvious, boy, I missed those past interference reviews, you get there, the challenges because I would have won that one, you were going with the other one, they overruled it. of like 50 they dunked like five I understood it but I would have won that one because it was a decisive game you know it and I know it so there was a metallic ray of light what happened last night what happened happened earlier in the day your eagles with your quarterback carson w-i-n-c what are you talking about yeah when I look at them they are up 17-0 in the first half and carson gonez proceeds to throw an interception they lose a fumble and throw another interception and lose 27 to 17 they get they were outscored in the second half 20 to nothing in washington and they let dwayne haskins beat them and I still look at the stats and I still don't know how they did it but they did it and I guess which eagles and cowboys are in the Exact same place except your quarterback had a qbr of 14 in a scale from zero to 100.

Mine was a 73, which is pretty good, actually that quarterback was a 69, but that's not here, there's no difference between you and me I got a 73. Okay, you know what? hop? You, because it's your day and they were broke in a new stadium, I'm going to give them a 90. But you got a l, he got a 90 QBR and had a beer that screamed the worst of Dallas or Philly, I think Philly. , TRUE? Now it's doom and gloom, I think in Dallas too and right now Philadelphia is saying is Jalen hurts the answer maybe let's talk about that is he the answer, but I tell you what I don't hear all those Randy Moss comparisons. don't listen to anything about those cd labs oh he looks so good, he's going to be the number one receiver, he's better than Gallup, he's better than Amari, how did what happened happen?

You see the 20 yard punt return also lit them up so if you're going to be and by the way you were the only one who said it was randy martin no I didn't say that no you said cd lamb changed fortunes that's why that press got us an MVP candidate the cowboys oh the cowboys going to the super bowl I didn't say that. Yes I said you're putting words in my mouth like always. Sorry, I'll tell you what I put. Yes, I'll put an l in the other column. Oh, I put one. I feel a lot better because the cowboys won. the nfc this now we have five cases on that, thank you very much, okay, really who would have thought, after our first week, that washington would be the only team in the nfc with that victory, so it was kind of interesting, I know the name. football the football team is in first place in the nfl thanks for watching you can subscribe here to get the latest from the show and be sure to see more of the best clips from
