He needed a blow? lol Are you kidding me? Needed a blow? What a participation trophy millennial thing to say. The best guys on the team don't take themselves out for a blow on critical downs...that's weak, that's what wrong with this organization.. 25 years of this country club non-sense.

Needed a blow on 3rd and 4... lmao.

His 31 yard splash play gassed him.

Can you imagine Emmitt Smith coming out of the game against the Bills in the Super Bowl on the drive we shoved it down the Bills throat and took control of the game?

Call a GD timeout... especially since Pollard was out. He has to be on the field on that play IMO in that situation.

this is not on Zeke, it was designed Play while he was out.. did it matte,r this wasn't even on the FB.. sure critical play blown by DAK..

Lets check to whom is at fault ,

last game similar play would have been walk in TD, someone passed the ball at the ground near his feet, this game a few more to EE uncatchable...balls being thrown high, low behind wormburners all night.. if I had to guess Olalalwe read the play correctly and Dak panicked threw a hot route when he should have saw Olalwale run the called play..regardless cant hold EE responsible for bad execution while he missed one play!!

Dak had bad night., Zeke getting 90% of the RB load every game doesnt include just runs, he blocks, runs out in routes and in this game was only RB available.. he has to come out sometimes.. jeez

you do realize Zekes not the issue this year, it bad playcalling, scheming, and decsions and throws by the QB of late. Zeke started off the GB, NE, BIlls and CHI games HOt nearly 6YPC having 60-70 yards at the half, in the first half ,only to have the defense and poor pass game put us in the whole and the coach panic an stop handing it to our best players..

IDC about what Zeke makes he got paid, ive watched all year and recently he could have had some huge stats but game situations have caused his great starts to be wasted..

EE is not the issue to th haters that have been trolling him since his deal..

No its not on Zeke its on Garrett for not making him stay in or have somebody in the game that knew what play to run . Let Austin play RB for a play if Zeke is too out of shape . Its not even close to being Daks fault we needed 4 freaking yrd and a 1st not a FB trying to be Jerry Rice , get a grip on the situation .

This is why we lose games and I think Jerry has finally had just about enough of us not being prepared

On third and 4 on the 24 why was Zeke the guy we just paid a fortune out of the game . Why was some scrub who never plays the intended target on such an important play and why was he unprepared .

We came away with no points on that possession because our kicker missed again but should have been able to drive in for a TD if Zeke was in shape enough to play instead of on the sideline .

This possession changed the game IMO and sealed Garretts fate with another coaching error in a big moment

Are you talking about the play where the FB never turned around for the ball?

He has not played all year and has been a waste of time from the start?

Yeah, strange personnel decision that cost us

Another Kellen Moore call?

That was awful. Pollard would have been much better for sure.

Yep thats the one I believe if Zeke stays in he knows the play and catches it for a 1st then we have a good chance to score a TD and a better chance for our horrible kicker to make a FG if we cant punch it in .

This is why we lose poorly coached and unprepared for situational football

I think Dak should take himself out of the game every few plays and let the Rush kid take some snaps...

….that was the Super Bowl....this team shouldn't be compared in any way, any form to something that grand.

Shouldn't that be on Kellen and JG?......maybe Kellen more needs to take his #$##$$# to the press box to understand situations better.

Another question is why did this team go with a fullback for their backup RB?

Why not promote a RB for the week when they put Connor on IR and it was looking like Pollard would miss the game.

The OT they signed was inactive...

2 were hurt and 1 was away tending to a family death

Guys, this is why they all love,love,love Garrett

If it's 3rd down On New England and you raise your hand, you're gong to get flipped off.

And if the player is hurt and gets hurt further, or is winded and gets hurt because of it. you'll be crying why didn't he taken him out.

B/c he did all the work to get them there and needed a blow.

Are we doing this again?

This!

PAPPYDOG · Dec 6, 2019

Personally what I'm seeing is this offense and esp Zeke has given up on Dak. They have grown tired of sacrificing there bodies and efforts on a JAG QB who in the end is looking at getting a mega-deal which they will have to cash for him for the rest of their careers....

I you are a 26yr old NFL RB and are winded after a couple runs you are doing something wrong with your training and flat out not in shape
When you are the highest paid RB in the league you are getting paid to be in Olympic condition at all times and not have to sit in critical situations unless injured

Umm because without him this game wouldn't have been close, players are allowed to get tired from time to time right...? I dont think money dictates how tired your allowed to be. Plus the more fatigued you are the more susceptible to injury you get.

The Cabo Ewok gets tired a lot, needs rest.

Tom Brady chews out his WRs on the sidelines for 15 mins for dropping a ball on 3rd down against Houston.

And we wonder why they play in the SB almost every dam year and we are a sub .500 trash team.

Chrispierce · Dec 7, 2019

That’s why....that they wouldn’t expect it. The the play was there...FB just didn’t have it down and kept running without turning around. That’s a M-F issue. You’re going to see more of this stuff...like you’ve seen each week. Because there’s no staff voice now. Don’t dwell on these plays though ...it’s a bad situation and that’s what you get in them. It sucks for us as fans...it does. It’s not fun to watch a lost team look lost.

Aviano90 · Dec 7, 2019

I wonder what Zeke’s “feed me” to “rest me” hand signal ratio is this year?

It’s unbelievable the excuses make for this guy.

Now it’s Garretts fault because Zeke “the work horse” couldn’t handle the load. Funny, on one hand people defend him for being an every down back and that’s why he was worth the contract but on the other hand it’s the coaches fault, the chupacabras fault, Neil Armstrongs fault...anyone but the actual Ewok for needing to come out of the game. It wasn’t even just that play, he had his hands on his hips and was clearly out of breath several times during the game, even on short drives and runs.
