Looked like an actual coordinated and in-tune offense to me. Finally unpredictable. The Giants were on their heels and had no clue what was coming.

I was a bit concerned at first when passing was 2-1 over running early in the first, Cowboys have always been a pound the rock NFCE Type football team but hey passing is great when you can make plays which is something we couldn't do very well the last couple of years, so he has done something with this offense that others couldn't do and thats create plays that actually work, lots of guys wide open out there today so he is obviously doing something right.

We looked good. Play calling and execution. Lots of love for both after this game but I wonder which will falter first when we lose. The calling or the execution?

Moore has Dak attacking all parts of the field. That’s what impressed me most.

There are throws I just thought Dak was either too conservative or hesitant to attempt.

Today he made them all day, up and down the field.

I just like how they just ran the score to 35 and then went vanilla on offense. I would have liked 42 points though to just smash the NYG

What I noticed:
More slants over the middle. More deep seams. Deep middle had been a no go zone for Linehan.
Lots of passing on 1st down. The anti-Linehan.
Pollard playing in early downs. Zeke fresh for the red zone. Is it legal for the coaches to make sense?
Olawale is a weapon deep. Put a big LB on him, and it will be no contest. Dak just needed to throw it to his outside shoulder.
Misdirection in the run game. Lots of different guys getting carries. Cobb, Dak, Pollard, Austin. This is what I wanted to see from Moore. He delivered.
I didn't expect Cobb to be one of these guys. He looked good at it. He looked better than I expected. The offense is loaded with play makers.
Gallup looked better than expected too.
Slants we quick hitting. We're attacking the whole field in time and space.

What did you notice?
The Giants just KNEW that Dak was going to throw to the sidelines and he didn't. Over and over. And when they slanted to the middle... TD to Coop on the side!
That's gameplanning on the fly.

I can't say enough about Moore.
Aggressive, 1st down passing, crisp tempo- more time to survey the D and adjust, Getting multiple receivers involved, good timing and getting the ball out quickly/decisively. Great use of play action/gun play action. Something I've been SCREAMING for years. Not handcuffing Dak and lack of prefictability. Not over reliant on the run and playing down to the opponent.

Key drive...nyg scratches and claws to a fg. Next drive...deep to Coop off the break. FOOT ON NECK!!! Gonna be a fun ride.

We are talking about the giants here:

Too many emotional posters tooo happy even though like all of us I’m glad we won. I agree we need to definitely pump the brakes but hope it continues in this direction of course.

I was impressed. I know, first game but as wise man once said ‘a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step’

No, I expected them to handle a weaker team in the Giants. I’m still at 12-4 for the season. They should be one of the top teams in the NFL.

I saw more motion pre-snap in this game than I saw Scotty do the entire time he was here.

I love it!!!!

it was a good deput. lots of movement before the snap. lots of options. we did play against a pretty bad defense. I said it in the summer. first 5-8 games are not tell tale signs because he is new and DC are learning, but give the DCs 8-10 game tapes and they start to figure out a few things. its how he does in the last 6-8 games that will be telling. can Moore adjust to the DC's adjustments. there is a learning curve, so everyone is guidy today, but sometimes in the middle of the season people want his head in a basket and fired and throwing OC names around...I will wait until the last 5-6 games.
