You mean like when Pollard was in pass protection and Martinez ran through him like a sheet of paper on his way to a sack?
Did I say Pollard? No, if I was going to throw the ball, I’d have Zeke in the backfield. He’s a great blocker and we still have the threat of a run that the defense has to honor. An empty backfield there is beyond stupid. Sorry if you can’t see that.

David Helman is a joke to begin with. The empty backfield doesn't bother me. The lack of design and pick plays does. NFL runs on crossing and set passing plays but we are still playing in the 90s.

I am never going to be critical of the Cowboys for not running more pick plays.. for the simple reason that they seem to get called for it more often than not. I don't trust the refs to allow the Cowboys to get away with what the rest of the league does.. The times when we HAVE run picks we've been flagged.. so I understand why they don't do it more..

Why not run the ball and let them use their last timeout, eat the clock and get the TD with no time left and we have 3 timeouts in case we need them???? this is why we have a back like Zeke...

Our coaching staff has cost us more than one game this season, we would have won our division weeks ago with smart coaching.

2 yards per attempt … 4 attempts = TD .

Not to mention in those situations last week he averaged 3.5 yards per attempt.. I can almost excuse not running him today as he was gimpy.. but at least keep him in the backfield so that he can a) help pick up the free runner and b) force the defense to play honest. By going empty you gave the d-line license to pin their ears back against a patchwork o-line. A recipe for failure.

This was worse than MM not challenging that catch

At least you can spin that and say upstairs let him down.

Glad ill never be forced to watch these bums ever again

Nothing was worse that not challenge that play !! MM Gift time....Stupid end for a stupid season with stupid decisions.

Empty set with 1st and goal? on the 7 yard line ?

RUSH AND MAKE THEM USE THEIR LAST TIMEOUT.

Totally. Going empty with how bad our protection had been played right into the teeth of that defense. Dalton did such a good job getting the ball out last week... this week, completely the opposite. Hs clock and timing were off all game, and KM did not adjust to help the offense out. Settled for far too many FGs (again). Our red zone TD % has to be in the bottom 1/3 of the league.
