I was expecting them to run the ball, if for no other reason than to force the Giants to use their final time out.

That said the oline can't let a DE come in unblocked like that, just terrible.

You mean Terrence Steele blew an assignment? Weird.....:popcorn:

Not sure who you blame.....

A. Steele for sucking.

B. McCarthy for starting Steele

C. Kellen for thinking Steele could block.

Empty backfield. Didn’t even give the defense a chance to second guess a run that close to the end-zone..

Awful

What????? Ever heard of a QB draw? Was the perfect place to do it.....Steele just happened to blow the assignment.

Feel bad for the older fans. Might not ever see a real HC here again.
At least we can remember when this franchise was the envy of the league and a dominant team for 18 consecutive years. Then again for 5 years in the 90's. Apparently that is all we will get. Good luck to the young fans. You may never see a dominant Cowboy team ever again?

You have to run the ball.. or at least give the defence that appearance. Even a 'typical' zeke run for 2 yards gives you a much better chance than an empty backfield sack. At that stage you need to 'play small'.. at the very least you advance the ball 2-3 yards. Get within 5 and make them burn the last time out.

If our team can't pound out 7 yards in 4 plays with zeke and pollard.. then we are doing something very wrong. It was a woeful call.

I can tell right now we’re about to waste another decade training a coach that thinks he is smarter than what he is. You run the ball on that first down 10 times out of 10 and make them use the TO. Hell I would even run it on 2nd and milk more clock. This idiot wanted to score and give the Giants the ball back with as much time as possible.
Empty backfield no less with this garbage OL and a statue for a QB...

Cant rush for 7 yards with zeke in 3 downs ,??

there is something wrong with the playcalling not the OL.

The run game was and had been horrible.

The backs were 3 ypc. Run defense gets much easier inside the 10.

We have a great trio of receivers, 2 average tes, a bruiser at RB and another Rb who can make plays in space. No excuse to struggle in the RZ

Now talk about the oline.

I think Dalton was sacked 6 times today.

Just terrible terrible

you have Pollard and Zeke and you dont run it on first down
That’s my only concern with him, as a young former QB, he really doesn’t get the details of the running game. Garret didn’t either.

The naked boot was brilliant tho.

Our offensive genius that everybody loves...

Too bad we haven't had a recent example of a supposed genius who never really earned anything....

This sequence blew the game for us. We had a chance to control the clock and score. This has been a problem for over a decade! Throwing the ball on all three Downs from inside the 10 with strong running backs. Could it be former quarterbacks turned OC? almost predictable.

Dalton is not a good QB. He struggles in the redzone.


I should clarified it was a general comment about this offense dating back to last year even. Even with Dak this year they weren't producing like they should. Imo it lands on Moores feet
