A historic win: No run game

I don't know what it is with the Buccaneers but every time we play them we are a one dimensional offense.

VERY painful to watch. Dysfunctional running game all night. Dowdle 1.8 ypc with a long of just 6 yards.

But hey that Zeke one carry for one yard and a TD looked great. :thumbup:

It is almost like they have a monster DT that helps stop the run. Not just a monster sized DT that walks around lost.

Oh between this game with no rushing yards and the Washington game where they turned the ball over 5 times....both are lucky to have won.

The Zeke anytime bettors tonight are laughing all the way to the teller.

Weird game, but a win is a win.

That offense looked a little like what I think they wanted Dak to do,,, quick reads, quick passes to substitute for a running game,,, Cooper Rush ran it like a pro.

Man, imagine how good this defense would be with Vita Vea in the middle. Hard to believe the best we can do is Mazi and Osa.

Why is it hard to believe? The Cowboys practically ignore the position.

I believe it starts with a V.

A V. V. To be more specific.

It's hard to believe that we see great defenses year in and year out plug up the middle and allow their guys to flow to the ball...and we give more attention to special teams that we do interior DL. I don't understand it.

Tony Dorsett had 14 rushes for 3 yards in that game. Herschel Walker was the star of the RB class with 9 rushes for 28 yards (Doug Cosbie also had one rush for minus-3 yards).

You got a great memory, Mark.

I fully believe the Cowboys would've drafted Vea if he was still on the board.
I was wanting Quinton Nelson in that draft.

Maybe. Crazy how DaRon Payne was picked immediately after Vea. I wanted Roquan Smith but that was a pipe dream. I was ok with the LVE pick, but unfortunately he fell victim to his draft profile. Injury prone. I firmly believe he would've been one of the best Cowboys LBers ever if he could stay healthy, but it was a longshot from the beginning that would happen.

Catpappy · 2024-12-23T01:27:29-0600

We need a running back with a see ya gear.

RonWashington · 2024-12-23T01:47:09-0600

And Tampa fell in love with Irving running the ball and lost . I was waiting for Mayfield to throw to the opposite side of Bland .

MountaineerCowboy · 2024-12-23T05:51:30-0600

Dak doesn’t win games when we don’t get 100 rushing yards.

If Dak played tonight it would’ve been an easy win for the Bucs.

our oline is terrible in run blocking. The Bucs have an elite dline when it comes to stopping the run. I think next year we need a big upgrade with our oline coach. Solari isnt getting it done.

Bland had a quietly good game and showed out at the end.

I remember they were hyping up a possible trade up right before the draft. Maybe if he fell a couple more spots they do it
