Back in yesteryear...the Washington Football Team used to run the counter tre 20 times a game...n Mr Riggins usually made positive yardage. Couldn't stop it.
Go Cowboys!
I agree on everything except being in the right defense to stop it. They were in the worst defense to stop it. They were watching for the run. CD was running free on one DB. The play action held them up and it was over 1 second into the play when CD waved his hand. All Dak needed to do is hit him in stride.
they were keen on stopping the run and taking cooper out of the game, daring us to beat them with CD and rest of the WRs....the strategy somewhat worked, because they were testing Dak and Moore's patience, forcing us to dink and dunk most of the time. That strategy took their best CB out of most plays, as Coope stayed to the outside and deep. what hurt them that we stayed patient, by 4th quarter we had 65 plays to their 28. their defense got tired.The Pats were clearly trying to stop the run all game and were making Dak beat them
Dak easily accomplished that.
Right that’s what I was saying. “If” the patriots were in the right defense to stop it. Dak would have changed the play at the line or would have just handed the ball off instead.
It was 51 and 36 of those were money, Einstein.Easily?
It took 50+ passes and OT to do it. It was anything but easy.
You're delusional.It was 51 and 36 of those were money, Einstein.
3 times back to back on the final OT drive. I guess if it's not broken, why fix it?

Sure, but if they had let the TD stand , it would be blow out long before ( would have been 27-14) and Pats would have been forced to pass more and not run ( their running with OL holding - with no calls for us, is what gave them the 3rd score ) they went up 21-20.
Dont forget the penalties which took away so many plays 120 yards.
six it seemed like goal line defense between the 30s at times LOL

Yep. That’s 90s Cowboys style. You could know what play they were going to run and still couldn’t stop it.Great "man beater" play design when they have outside leverage.
You keep running plays until they stop you.
We have shot ourselves in the foot many times this year to make games that should have been easy very hard. A couple of our games should have never been close even in the first half. It is gonna burn us eventually.Okay, but none of that matters because what happened happened.
All of that happening made this anything but an easy game.
How anybody can say the Pats game was an easy win is beyond me. It should have been much easier than it was. Mental mistakes combined with a bad head coach made what should have been a game that was over by the start of the 4th quarter into an OT thriller.We have shot ourselves in the foot many times this year to make games that should have been easy very hard.
