3rd and 4th down was not long yardage certainly manageable with runs not passes 45 and 46

and how did Dallas get to the 3rd and 4? Dak pass to Schultz for a gain of 16. I would have had no issue had Dallas tried to run it but I also have no issue with throwing it. You guys want to limit what the offense does I don't, key is making it had Dallas ran the ball and failed then you have people doing the same thing why did you not throw it.

Probably because Dak can't play under center and the shotgun runs usually suck. The biggest reason is Dak likes to change the runs to pass when the defense fools him. Like usual.

You're asking a Jason Garrett disciple why he hates the running game?

Really because DeMarco Murray was the NFL leading rush in 2014 Cowboys did it again in 2016 with Zeke and in 2018, you don't accompish that by not running the ball.

Cowboys are top 10 in run vs pass %. So I wouldn't say he hates it at all. Now should we run more? Probably and I think you can easily make that argument. But, the hating running the ball agenda is a little misplaced based on facts

This was discussed during the Rush games. Will they stick with a more conservative offense or try to air it out with Dak? We're seeing the answer, unfortunately.

How much of that is Moore and how much of it is Dak changing run calls to passes, I don't know. But the defense has gone from holding teams under 20 to allowing 60 points in the last two games. It looks too much like what we have seen come up short in the recent past. Get back to what was working, please.

Absolute truth here.
They gave up conservative yet winning ugly for stats and losing pretty.
It's all on Dak or the OC or both.

Yes, but that's not the point. We are severely limiting what the O does by refusing to run the ball. When the D knows a pass is most likely coming, it's much easier to play D.

You're pointing to the aberration years to try and make a point.

That appears to be the case.

No the point is people here love to exaggerate. They do not take into account down and distance or situations within a game. I'm all for balance and keeping defense on their toes. For the most part this past game Dallas did that to the tune of 28 point the most points GB has given up this year. When I see the thread Moore hate the run? give me a break. I take it then a lot of OC around the NFL hate the run, Minn OC hates the run when they pass to a 2 to 1 margin? it is laughable

I’m not advocating limiting anything why is running 34 who showed fresh legs hard to tackle on 3rd and 4 “ limiting things “ or Pollard with a burst of speed can take it to the Casa at any carry from anywhere . People act like running the football on 3rd and 4 as a sign of surrender


:huh:

Never mind the fact that passes 41-46 never would have happened had the defense done it's job in the 4th qtr.

The Cowboys also had two first down running plays in OT (total of 25 yards) wiped out because of penalties.



i really dislike conspiracies but when 66 is called for a holding call on a great run by Davis but Dallas can’t get a PI on a receiver wearing a GB Packer on his back as winter apparel i rest my case your honor .

Dallas was killing it in run game but yet Moore like to air it out. Face it Dak is a Jag qb. Moore thinks Dak is Marino. I guess money talks.

It takes patience and trust. I'm not certain those are his strong point.

Not at all and I said I would have had no issue running it but I also know after the fact fans are never wrong. Running was an option but does not mean it would have worked or not. I don't get into hypotheticals. I had no issue with run or pass in that situation. The fact that we threw it and if did not pan out does not make it the wrong call. I will say on the 4th down when I see WR and TE less than 5 yards apart I know damn well someone ran the wrong rout or at least a poor rout which eliminated them on the rout. No doubt this team has to clean things up.

They gave up 31 pts to a team that averages 17. Them running the all all over our defense and completing two long passes for tds has absolutely nothing o do with our offense. Up until the 4th qtr time of possession was virtually equal (in fact we may have been slightly ahead) so the defense wasnt tired or worn out, and the game was played in nice, cool weather with no humidity.

That's garbage defense and it's total BS for people to keep trying to put blame anywhere other than where it belongs.
well I predicted in my JFF game GB would score 13 points, so year the defense did not do that great, but in nfl a team can average
31 points a game and only score 6, and one avg 17 can score 45 on a good defense. It depends on a lot of factors.
and other teams offense is one of those factors. turnovers is another factor, that is where GB got some points too?

The other thing is the dallas pass rush was their main strength ! so if the other offense can bypass that with scheme and game plan,
dallas Def is average or below avg.

That’s what really lost that game… forget putting dak in bad positions and blaming him. You don’t see Baltimore making Lamar pocket pass all game or Brady rolling out all game. Play to our strengths. Don’t throw 45 times leading majority of gme. You’d think we couldn’t run the ball then I tell you we had like 6ypc and your baffled
