Season isn’t over yet. And guess what.. We made the playoffs. This loss sucked and if we lose Saturday it will also. It’s the game after that when the party starts..

It’s a long offseason. We have seen flash winning streaks and loses. And everything in between.

We lost Gallup and Wilson is ok but not Gallup..

It’s a long offseason. Let’s enjoy the ride until it’s over. This is a different and better Defense so you never know. And Dak and the Offense will catch fire..

I agree. Having said that if we don’t start running the ball it’s over. Everyone talks about Rogers and Brady but GB has Jones and Dillion, and Brady has Fournette. Both teams run it and run it well.

This didn't kill my excitement for the playoffs, but it definitely hurt my confidence level.

I have gone to bat for Zeke over and over again, but I'd love it if we started Pollard. We need to shake things up. Maybe he gets hurt and maybe he underperforms starting, but I'd love to try. Right now the run game is flat terrible. I hope come playoff time Dak stops hesitating and runs early and often as well.

I hope your right but there aren’t any more Falcons or WFT’s left once the playoffs start. We just flushed our chance of playing the Eagles in the first round down la toilette.

I agree. But they won’t do it. It would catch everyone off guard, but they won’t do it.

The season isn’t over yet but the writing is on the wall.

Pollard didn't do any better than Zeke....it's not our RBs, it's our play calling and OL play.

This maybe why we are only running up the gut and running 12 times a game. Letting them heal. That long run by Elliot look like the old Elliot. Our O-Line play needs to pick up.

I know the oline is a big part of it. I'd still try Pollard because he can pop one and Zeke can't. Zeke is for dirty yards.

We just need a shake up. Can't run for 40 yards in a playoff game.

Can't call 12 running plays in a any game and expect to win. Moore and MM are to blame, not the RBs

Because of no sweeps or tosses. Up the gut. Elliot’s had a long run last night was almost off tackle and looky there. Except the hold that looked like Shultzes hands were inside the shoulder pads.. lame call.

Lmao. Me and you both. I kept waiting for our Defense to crush the qb and get a turn over or Dak to get started. Stung the confidence for sure..

I was starting to feel it too. Yeah bad teams and bla bla, that doesn't mean you should be able to beat the living crap out of them. We were beginning to hum right along...

If they play as they did yesterday, then yes writing is on the wall.

What we saw yesterday is pretty much what we’ve been seeing the second half of the season. The difference yesterday was we faced a much better QB than we’ve been facing. He didn’t turn the ball over like the backups we’ve been going up against. This is the Cowboys team that will be going into the playoffs.

Was stupid and I called it early. I said if we get down by 3 points we will abandon the run. That leaves everything on Dak and the O-Lines shoulders. Fire the O-Line coach to start. Undisciplined.
