Dak need to scramble when pressured and throw ball to Pollard out at 10 yards more often to break up the coverage schemes of defenses. Stop screens and other passes behind line of scrimmage. They never ever work.

If there is anything i hate more, is having 3rd and 3 or less and you throw a one yard pass or even behind the line of scrimmage and fall short. Arrrrrggghhhhhh......come on now, you gotta have at least 4 or 5 yard route.... :banghead:

Someone needs to step up today in a big way. Dak certainly does. Wilson and Brown need to step up as well. I expect the Raiders will double Gallup and make Dak throw to Wilson and Brown - possibly Malik Turner. In the meantime, they will do what KC did and pressure, pressure, pressure. We'll see how Tyron Smith feels, and if our RT is settled.

I can see it already, the Raiders will play up close to the LOS to take away the run. They will press the WRs and send pressure after Dak. The only thing is being at home, the OL has an advantage in that they can hear the snap count this week. Dak needs some quick snaps, and varied counts to keep the defensive line honest. They need to open some holes for the RBs.

Hoping for an Atlanta type bounce back game.
Also hoping that they don't lay an egg in New Orleans in the following game.

Prefer a nice winning streak in December and January provided they make the playoffs. I know, almost a given at this point so no collapses allowed, lol

I believe Quinn's defense will keep improving. I think the key will be if the offense can return to its earlier season success of more balance and better red zone touchdown production.

They got a good shot if the offense can prove to be able to do that against the playoff teams.

Another one and done should not be acceptable to the front office or fans. This team is as good as the other 4 or 5 true championship contenders. They hafta play like it. Depends on both all the players and all the coaches doing their jobs and the front office holding those performing these jobs responsible for the outcome. This is the year.

No more excuses.

Thats an easy first down with proper blocking. The problem is the blocking has sucked.

And let me guess.........................Moore is to blame for the play not working correct?

I knew it, I knew it, I knew it.....total BS....NO WAY were they going to enhance the chances of Dallas winning on Thanksgiving....even though several players from other teams in the past have played after being knocked silly.

And people don't think there is conspiracy to crush the Cowboys....lol. Nope the league wants us just relevant enough to sell tickets...And boost ratings. But we will never win a title as long as Goodell is running things.

Oline needs to step it up. And the WR's need to learn how to catch today.

I’m hoping the Cowboys as a team will come out angry, embarrassed and take the a** whoopin they took last week and take it out on a bad Raider team. Everybody that is left playing needs to just do their job and execute. We are still a better team than them, even with back ups. GO COWBOYS!!

Zeke needs to win this game. He’s traditionally good on TG and Dak needs help right now. If Zeke gets 100 yards and the defense plays good, we should win.

We need a running game today. The Raiders have a pass rush they have 24 sacks. Hopefully the bad Derek Carr shows up. He’s up and down he can have 3 picks one week and 4 TDs the next. Have to keep an eye on DeSean Jackson he seems to always catch a long touchdown against us. We need to put the Raiders away early or this could end up a dog fight.

Its not easy 1st down if the CB are playing up close and the OL or TE cannot get out in time to kick him out. So keep guessing, it depends on the situation. If KM calls it at that time, then yes he is to blame. Other times it could be the poor blocking. The fact is run a dammm route that gets you a first at the point of reception especially if you think the poor blocking is the problem.

It’s strange to me to still hear Jimmy Graham’s name. Feels like it’s 2008 or something.

The same with DeSean Jackson his rookie year was 2008 and he’s still going. Got to keep an eye on him today. He’s been a Cowboys killer.
