2-10 when Zeke is under 75 yards.....If you don't see the problem there's nothing I can do to help you out bud.
24 pts is not exactly a monster performance but overall Dak after the longest of times looked good back there against a top ten defense playing single coverage pretty much on every down.
What do you mean by "single coverage?"

Ok, agreed. If you stop just one of Zeke and Dak we don't have a chance against a great team.

Did that take you long to figure out that we go up with our 2 most important players and down with our 2 most important players? What's our record when you stop Dak?

I was on the Dak is a bus driver wagon but he is evolving and getting better right before our eyes. Tonight the problem was force feeding Zeke when it wasn’t working and this will fall at Dak’s feet because Zeke didn’t get his yards. Dak balled out.

I can’t recall all the games but tonight they lost not because Zeke was ineffective but because they didn’t know when to stop feeding him. It was clear tonight was not gonna be his night.
Classic Garrett. Trying to pound your head a brick wall to prove execution wins. Someone please tell Garrett You take what the defense is giving you.

Again....2-10 now if you're wanting the 2000 Ravens defense sorry bud we don't have the coaching or Cap to build that for you.
It's not the Cap for why the D fails to stop the run. It's your buddy, Marinelli, convincing Jerry to draft total duds for why this D continues to get run over.

Did you see TJ Watt tear it up against the Rams today? We should have gotten him!

Between Taco and the Jury is out for Meatball man (Hill) not impressed indeed.
But maybe he have all rushed to anoint #54 #55 as Great LB?
Anyway, expect the same defenses by opponents till seasons end and hope our Off-line holds up as if they start faltering all will truly be lost.
Dak is not the same QB on away games so there's something else to factor here.
Tough road ahead.....

Dak was lights out tonight. Defense couldn't stop a toddler from grabbing things off the counter. Run game was too predictable, and we should have played more screens, and played Pollard more. Take away the blatant pass interference at the end of the game, and I'd have felt more comfortable about the loss. That was a massive blown call.

Doesn't Dak actually play good on away games most of the time? The problem on run blocking is the Oline. That falls on Colombo.

2-10 Now when Zeke is under 75 yards rushing.
Vikes played single coverage pretty much all game long.

P.S. Dak did better than his usual game but the above needs to be addressed......

PSS: Not on Dak... it's on Garrett...

Yes, stop Zeke and win the game as long as the coaches don't actually make the opposing defense pay for selling out to stop Zeke.

Doesn't matter, you're going to blame Dak anyway, so yeah, sure, it's Dak's fault. It's especially his fault that they took the game out of his hands at the end. But, I'm sure that's because he sucks so badly, so it was all on Zeke.

Sorry, I'm mad because this was on the coaches, and it was on them not trusting Dak and not making an opponent pay for completely cashing in on stopping the Cowboys RB.

Zeke sucked this entire year. First, he hasn't been a factor like he was during his rookie. So Zeke doesn't really need to be stopped.

Secondly, our moron of a coach keeps running him up the middle against stacked defenses. That doesn't give Zeke much room to succeed.

Noticed how the Vikings used Dalvin Cook. That is how our offense should be. But our idiot of a head coach has no idea how to use Zeke.

Lastly, if you haven't noticed Dak has been carrying this team this year. Not Zeke, not the defense - Dak.

Get used to it. He's going to be here for a very long time.

That's not what happened. Minny is strong up front and they stopped the run on a regular basis with just their front 7.

The Vikings DB's are not that good, and Dallas had the receivers and QB to take advantage. That's how we got 393 yards and 22 first downs passing. It would have been interesting to see how much more the Cowboys could have done with a few less runs and a few more passes.
The Saints did the same thing.

Tonight Dak would have won but Garrett wouldn't let him.

I'm convinced Garrett is just following orders down there and doing what he's told to do. By who I don't know. Because nobody could be this stupid.

It's incredible.

Carrying this team to a 5-4 record having played 5 terrible teams such as the Skins,Fins,Giants x2 and Jets is really nothing to be proud about record wise.
If he's here for long haul I guess your expectations for our Cowboys are average at best.
Maybe you're under 25 years old and have never seen the greatness of America's team therefore you're excused I guess.

You don't get, PappyDog. You refuse to get it. The game was lost because the Oline sucked royally trying to open lanes up for Zeke, not because the Vikes dared for Dak to beat them (which Dak carved them up). Cowboys lost the game because they stubbornly tried to feed Zeke late in the game even though it was obviously Zeke and the Oline struggled all game to execute. Had the Cowboys coaches stuck strictly to the pass, I guarantee you this Offense would have outscored the Vikings. Guaranteed. The Vikings wanted no part of Dak in the 2and half. Cowboys dumb coaches gave them a gift by trying to run the ball.

PS: our Defense got run up the gut and scored upon over and over because they still suck at stopping the run.

You can bet that the Vikings coaches and fans are grateful that the coaching staff didn't actually allow for Dak to beat them. Yes, some say that Dak should have changed up the plays, but it's still problematic if the QB has to constantly change plays and coaching isn't reliable in these big games.
