10-7 game, 20+ degrees and we pass the ball 37 times

Q_the_man · Dec 11, 2016

How do we pass the ball 37 times and freezing weather, then we have like 5 post talking about start Romo. Horrible coaching, why does Jason Garrett continue to pass pass pass, 37 passes is embarrassing in that type of weather.

Zeke had 8 carries in the 2nd half. 8 carries in the 2nd half, 8 carries!!!!!!!!!!

We did not give him a chance to get into a rhythm. First round, run for three yards, second down pass. Incomplete. 3rd and 7, take Zeke off the field, incomplete. Awful. Hopefully Zeke gets in Garrett's ear like he did with Urban Meyer and tell him to give him the ball more.

While Zeke looked effective on the stat sheet the running game was pretty uneven.

AdamJT13 · Dec 12, 2016

Elliott had nine carries in the second half. He averages 11 in the second half -- and that includes more than two carries per game when we're running out the clock on a lead in the final six minutes. We didn't have that luxury tonight.

When you can't convert on third downs, keep turning the ball over and are behind in the last few minutes, you don't have a chance to pile up the rushing attempts.

Lazy and irresponsible to make claims based on the box score alone without context.

The passes called were within the flow of the game. Play calling was fairly even given circumstances.

Yep... some good runs, but got stuffed a lot too. Of course, when the other team doesn't think you can throw the ball over their head...

NO, they ran on first down and passed on second down, even my wife was calling the plays in the second half.

Biggest issue is teams are shutting down the short to intermediate and daring the team to run 10 yards per attempt. they changed things us but when you get to 3rd and long you can pretty much forget about the run as a defense.

A PSR of 58.3 percent is slightly better than Elliott's season average of 57 percent, which leads the league. A running game doesn't get much more "even" than that.

Yes, Linehan failed tremendously.

Run on 1st down, 5 yards or less, pass on 2nd down, incomplete, pass on third down, short of the sticks or incomplete, punt, rinse and repeat.

It got very predictable.

It's been slowly turning back into the Pre-Dak Prescott offense.

Daks running has saved us the last few weeks. All of a sudden our WRs are glued to DBs while they blitz.

yea this is pretty easy when you are as bad as this team has been on third downs the last two weeks.

Again, they had ZERO respect for our passing game. And even if they did respect it a little they quickly realized we weren't going to beat them vertically. So you saw as the game wore on them moving closer and closer to the LOS and we couldn't make them pay.

i think the play calling was fine. Dak and the passing game was awful for the second week in a row.

Dez slips, Williams has a ball go right though his hands, holding calls, interceptions and fumbles.

The turnovers are starting to come with Dak and that is the most concerning to me.

should of been 38 times

3rd and 11, down by 3. Romo picks those up all the time. unfortunately we knew we had zero chance tonight and ran it.

Can't convert on third downs because of all the bad throws/dropped passes. From Garretts mouth to every pass happy fans ears, "we need to be more patient with the run". Close game, bad weather plus passing game not working - run the dang ball.

37 throws is a bit much SMH

Dak was off target all night, unless they roll him out he would have just missed it. His passes were all over the place. Wet ball maybe?
