When your kicker is so inconsistent that he misses an extra point, you don't wanna put the game in his hands, especially from twice the distance.
I'll put in the kicker's hands everytime when all you need is a FG to win the game. The Cowboys did the right thing. You would have crucified Garrett if Dak throws a pick or gets sack or gets sacked loses the ball and turns it over on a fumble. If the FG kicker misses it then that's on him and him only.

I was okay with running the ball, but why run it up the gut every single time? They were moving the ball all day, right up until the game's on the line, then they get away from what's been working.

You run it up the gut because you most likely aren't going to lose yards. If you try to go outside you could possibly lose yards or get a holding call or some nonsense like that. Just play it safe and vanilla as you can get.

Just came to my mind how this team didn't just get back to back wins for the first time this season, but they got back to back road wins when before Philly this team couldn't win on the road,

When we had a dependable kicker, I agree.........but Maher is a loss waiting to happen.

People need something to complain about.

No one's kicker is dependable anymore. You just have to take your chances with your kicker in that situation.
