I felt like the one KM mistake tonight was the play that ended up in a strip sack/TD for the Eagles. Not because of the result, but that close to the goal line, CW and the center seemed to just pretty much allow the DTs to eat Dak for lunch. Slow developing play there was probably not the right call.

The Mannings talked about that one and put blame on Cee Dee for doing too much dancing before cutting in when he should know that Dak needs to throw it quick. Who knows?

Not really KM fault. Ceedee Lamb was one on one with a LB but he was slow with this break.

Sometimes I think CeeDee just isn’t thinking or maybe he just doesn’t understand how fast a blitz can get to the QB that doesn’t have a ton of room to operate from the 1 yard line but in all fairness he did indeed fall down when trying to make a cut in & that ball would’ve been completed.

I’m tired of the jet sweeps inside the 20. He can ditch that play call as far as I’m concerned. Perhaps he’s just setting up something for later in the year… Although to be fair I think we’ve run more successful screens so far this season than we have all century.

I was really more upset with the Dak QB sneak. Man, just give it to Zeke who has been eating all night and he will power it in just with his momentum alone. Yeah, he actually got in barely and wasn't ruled a TD.... but i still feel it was not the best sure call.

If the Cowboys continue their success we won't have to worry about Kellen Moore next season. In fact, the Cowboys may lose both coordinators prior to the 2022 season.

CeeDee stumbled coming out of the break. You can tell Dak was about to throw it to him but saw him stumble and held it .

It was a bad idea to go empty backfield from your own end zone. Keep Zeke back there to block and not let D know you are passing.

I also didn’t understand why we went away from power run game with Zeke/TP in 2nd half.

I liked how Moore used McGovern at fullback early. Although that may have been only drive he did that. He still got a little too cute at times but overall a very good job.

KM is still a problem. The blocking particularly the run blocking was just so dominating it didn't matter what he called. The 2nd and goal from the 4 reverse was pathetic.

The QB sneak at the goal line was another. Give the ball to Zeke. He is a monster at the goal line.

Dak should have thrown it away when CD stumbled. CD should have not danced and made his cut sooner so Dak could dump the ball quickly. It needed to be abamg bang play, can't hold the ball there.

Probably had some of Garret's old notes mixed in with his own. Hopefully they dispose of them at the nearest paper shredder.
According to Garrett's old notes CeeDee was supposed to clap 4 times before making his cut on that doomed slow developing play.

That is the one thing Dak does not do well.
Know when to throw it away.

100% agree. You don't make that call in that situation and if you do the QB has to know get rid of it quick one way or the other.
