There were many problems with tonight’s game but it certainly exposed Moores’ inability to coordinate an offense. He has no idea what he is doing out there. You have a less-mobile QB, no offensive line and lackluster screen patterns..........cater your calls to the aforementioned problems please.

Dak played behind an all-pro line for years and was completely mediocre. We wasted our OL for him. His fans thought Linehan was the problem, when this whole offense is built on the foundations Linehan set that completely simplified everything for him. But Linehan never went away from the running game and knew Zeke was the bread and butter.

Yes, we have some good defensive players. We might not have enough of them, but there are a lot of problems with the scheme Nolan is trying to use that make the defense worse than its players.

2 scoring plays over 60 yards... horrible

The defense was put in a horrible spot. I put this on the offense.

I put it on both. I'd put it on special teams, too, but it didn't really matter in this one that Zuerlein missed a FG. It does look like we should have kept Forbath instead, though, but then we would have missed out on the watermelon kick.

We threw screens because of all the pressure Andy was seeing.

The only thing Moore has done is thrown more on first down than his mentor Linehan. Moore completely abandoned running the ball with Zeke this game, after he adjusted by starting to protect the ball with two hands. Dallas has been needing to establish its offensive identity back, but it got worse. Moore didn’t even bother with play-actin.

This was the absolute worst game Moore ever called.
He was probably absent the day they taught magic in coaching school. Honestly, what plays would you have called when your RB can't hold on to the ball, your O-line can't block for more than 2 seconds, and your backup QB seems to want the other team to have the ball?

the history of Dallas. Romo had a respectable D and the O choked against Giants. We built a line and no D.

contrast with Giants and eagles who balanced the D to offset the O and rode those to SB wins while we wandered lost in the wilderness

Last week, I can't remember who said it, but one of the broadcasters was talking about players not playing with their eyes. I think they are so focused on their responsibilities in this scheme that they are not relying on their instincts. Players can look really bad when they are thinking instead of playing.

No accountability. Tomorrow Stephen Jones and Jerry Jones and MM and Nolan will all say they love Jaylon. The Cowboys have been irrelevant for 25 years because of the culture around the team.

Stars president Jim Lites went on the radio and called his two best players out publicly for being complete ****. THe team turned it around and made the Stanley Cup.

Romo talked about that, I believe.

This might be the worst Cowboys team within the past 20 years. It's up there with 2000, 2001, and 2002.

Again you thinking we need MORE zeke tells me how much of a troll you really are, either man up and say this offense is WAY better with Dak..(hell even i thought we would score 20's with Dlaton).. or for real say you have mental problems .....there should be no qaurter for the Dak haters right now ....that was bad WAY BAD the opposing ofense had thier worst game by far and we scored 10 points...this was a winnable game with Dak

It was actually Romo who said it last week in the Giants game.

Monday morning I would take the stars off every helmet in the facility and take Kellen Moore and Mike Nolans playbook and be the first coach to call plays on both sides of the ball

Right after i call every player in a meeting and cut and bench them

Dallas needs to re-establish an identity. Who cares if that was happening? You sacrifice a little for the long run.

The irony is Zeke actually started to protect the ball with both hands, but they decided to bench him and they completely abandoned the run.

The owner wont hire a coach with the power to do that.

Zeke is a star
Jaylon is a star
