He's a microcosm of the entire team.

Screw talking about the Cowboys. Why in the dang world would that 'very attractive' young lady, in your sig, do that to herself by going full Arnold mode? And no matter how long I stare at 'Image A', I can't figure out the equation that gets me to 'Image B'. :huh::)

He had one catch yesterday. Dropped another one. He only has 1 td in the last 5 games.

Road games and top corners seem to be this guys kryptonite.

Yes, I know he saw some bracket coverage vs the Rams, but that is not something unique to him. Deandre Hopkins gets it too but he has a minimum 5 catches in 17 straight games (NFL record).

If we're going to beat Philly, he's going to need to wake up from this slump. I don't want to be sitting here a week from now trying to figure out Greg Ward Jr. outplayed him.
In all fairness..

he has a knee, foot and other nagging injuries.

WRs are like quarter horses.

Small injuries add up quick with those guys.

Look at him. He's thin and a bit fragile to begin with.

So it is what it is.

Has he been healthy? Seems like he has been fighting things off since the beginning of the year. Plus it's not like we aren't moving the ball. There is a reason the whole offense started to work when he came. Defenses had to account for him and that opened other things up.

I'd be much more worried if we weren't moving the ball well. Even in our losses we've moved the ball.

So a guy can't play poorly if his unit plays well? Interesting take.
dude figure it out, there only so many balls to go around Amari got like 2 targets in NE we ran the ball a lot and got behind and with wet balls and a great defense stuff happens ..But in agame lie yesterday 2 100 yard backs spread the ball around in limited pass plays , he didnt get enough targets to judge.. only so many balls go around..it rotates game to game.. if the eagles somehow shut our run game down in stretches Amari and Dak should have big day if Dak doesnt throw so many off target throws like the last 2-3 games..it all factors in..

Im betting Amari has his bounce back this week..game plan run run run , was simply limited..

I think Cooper is hurting he's had a lot of little nagging injuries this year they seem to be trying to take him away also but that's okay that opens up a lot of other stuff it's almost the same thing as having a shutdown corner same idea before anybody goes off and has to correct me

It is supposed to be raining, cold with possible snow or sleet.

Run the ball, screen and QB runs

true bat after they watch film on our last game they may put 9 man in the box LOL we might have to throw a bit more and given weve seen it in NE and CHI im sure they have the cleats, gloves, and mental picture of what it takes now..they can practice this week outside its cold and windy through Thursday..

i agree our best chance is tio run run run but sometimes team can plan to overload and shut our run down like the saints did and we have to get Dak and Company a chance to prove they can be successful when this happens..a good balance would be best..

Our TEs need to be featured in this game.

Quick passes and move the chains.

Philly only has TEs to throw to.

I would go 2 TE sets and be physical,

One of the Rams team goals was clearly to shut down our passing game with Ramsey. Dak obliged them on that by killing pass plays for running the ball on several occasions. So in this particular game, it wasn't so much that Amari and the WR'ing squad was shut down, they just weren't what the Cowboys were doing. KM needed his play-calling modified on the field by Dak but it worked. It's good to see the Cowboys can be adaptable to what the defense is putting on the field and that's a credit to Dak reading the defense and making the needed corrections on the fly.

We don’t need him to wake up to beat Philly, we just need to play well as a team. Having said that, Philly is a bit of a dumpster fire so he should go off.

Don't think you can say he is fading after a game he was held in check.

I guess the Rams fans are saying Gurley is fading then too?
You think it's just been 1 game? He's been absent most of the season.
