QBs passing 50+ times were 1-16 last season

Totally agree.

Remember, though, Dak threw several quick outs behind the line of scrimmage to a WR who then used other receivers blocks to gain yards downfield after the catch, so that's almost the same as running the ball behind or around O-Tackle but while avoiding the heavy rush inside a normal run would have to deal with. I believe this was smart on Kellen Moore's behalf. Sure, it was a pass, but in reality, it was more of a WR catch and run to the receiver's side of the field.

They are just really long hand offs. I hope this week we drop some dump offs to Elliot or Pollard right over the line. They will come after Dak again.

Why do people have such a hard time with cause and effect?

When you're losing, you have to pass, so you throw a lot of passes. Usually you lose anyway, because, well, you're already behind. That's the large majority of 50-pass games.
When you're winning, you start running the ball a lot, so you end up with a lot of rushes and rushing yards. Usually you win, because, well, you're already ahead.

If you can't understand the difference between most 50-pass games and what was happening last week (and why it happened), you need to watch more football.

This so much....

Honestly it's not about how many times you pass it.

It's about being efficient and scoring TD's in the red zone. Scoring 1 of 4 or was it 1 of 5, either way it's too low when you can not rely on your defense at all. We need to score TD's atleast 40% and always walk away with points or it'll be close loss after close loss.

Yes we need to get the redzone fixed but until we stop allowing 30+ a game we will lose more than we win..period it is the ultimate death stat

Agreed on both points.

Kellen Moore has to continue being creative and keep opposing Defenses off-balance. He did a great job against the Buccaneers. Hope he continues it against the Chargers. Them quick dumps are excellent counter attack plays against a constant heavy rush. Keep hitting them with these quick dumps, thus forcing the opposing D to loosen up, then hit them mid-to-deep with our WR talent. This could also help open up our rushing attack. We will soon see. It's going to be an interesting game.

GO COWBOYS!

Not shocked at all. Prolific passing simply isn't a winning strategy. Not to mention gassing your D.

K, how is prolific passing gassing your D?

You do know the Cowboys held the time of possession much more than the Buccaneers did, don't you?

I think he did a great job 85% (KM)...I'm going to be screaming at the TV again today for him to use the SCREEN...the dirtiest Matchup we have is once again our O-line agasint the D-line (mainly Bosa vs Steele) my god if he does not draw Bosa in and get Martin and steele out behind him for Elliott to eat I'm gonna lose my mind. This does so much for Bosa later in the game...he can not pin his ears back and go after Dak he has to start reading the play and thats going to help us in the redzone...FOR THE LOVE OF GOD KM PLEASE MAKE BOSA PLAY, DONT JUST AVOID HIM !!!!

I think we would press the running attack more this week if it wasn’t for the bs suspension of Collins.

you dont know that

Our 3 interior lineman weren’t getting any push at all on their DTs and their LBs were up at the LOS

Thier LB's (not a suprise BTW) played a great game..it helped though that they were clean 90% of the game...when we were able to get Zeke outside it did work.

They suck at evaluating talent for defenses. It's not that they haven't signed free agents, drafted players etc it's just rarely are those players developed into good players. So for now if we are to win it's 90% on the offense 4%defense 1% st

Andf if that does not change we will be picking high again this next draft...that just will not beat good teams.

We are so good on offense we can lose the starting QB, a bunch of linemen, and still not pick top 3.

I think that speaks more to how bad our division is..the lost QB part.

He was 2-3 vs division.

I will have to check but I dont think he played 5 division games last..Seattle and Atlanta take 2 of the 5 he played at quick memory.
