Game turned when they put Zeke back in for Pollard

Momentum seemed to have shifted.......................Cowboys were driving down the field and Pollard had just busted loose for couple of nice 18-20 yard runs. 2 more than Zeke has had in 3 years. It looked like Pollard was just primed to break one more tackle he would take it to the house.

Then they got stupid and put Zeke back in. And that's where it all stalled. If Pollard plays 80% of the game, the Cowboys win.

Anyone see the ball bounce right off stone hands chest on the 10 yard out on that final drive?

Why they continue to feature Zeke in the run game remains a big mystery.

Pollard: 9 carries for 57 yards.........6.3 average (Looked like he was just getting warmed up)

Zeke Idiot: 18 carries for 2.8 yards

Can we blame the KMoore packages, the KMoore red-zone play-callin', the KMoore RB shuffling, the KMoore creativeness for FGs, the KMoore predictability on downs, the KMoore absence of Pollard in a hurry-up offense?....Can we?

At this point he is in complete control of the offense so there is no excuse. At the very least he can bench Zeke after fumbles. We haven even see that.

That's all you can come up with? I hope you love KMoore as the imminent HC. I hope Zeke is out of here too.....it would be a favor to him with all the penchant for ALL the blame. And Pollard would want out too.....giving the misuse and revolving door playing that both are under.

Do you think he even has that capability with Jerruh's company flushing funds into Zeke's bank account every week after that "stupid" contract? LOL

If only coaches could actually coach and do what needs to be done for the Cowboys...<sigh>

Tony Pollard 9 57 6.3 0 20
Ezekiel Elliott 18 51 2.8 0 10
yeah I was hoping pollard would get the whole game, but ewok wanted to play.
If I was HC , I would not even have let him suit up, and left him in dallas.

It should be noted that Zeke has ALREADY lost more games without Dak than Dak has lost without Zeke.

Remember that the next time some idiot tells you that Zeke was carrying Dak.

That was already a stupid narrative before and looking dumber all the time. But to be fair, Zeke was the focal point of the offense those first two years.. but it has clearly shifted to Dak now..
