I say we force a ball to Robinson on a 9-yard out pattern. The Commanders will never see that coming....:rolleyes:

If the Cowboys don't end up beating this crappy skins team on the road good luck beating the Giants on the road in the season finale with a playoff birth on the line.

FOX guys *****ing because we "aren't running the ball". Murray and Felix combined for FIFTEEN carries in the 1st half.

Do these idiots even watch the games? Shoot, at least glance at a box score.

Yeah they are watching.

We do need to run the ball. Continue running the ball until it works. And it will. The biggest problem I see on offense is that when our run doesn't work, we essentially give up on it and become entirely one dimensional. Sometimes 3 yard gains aren't a bad thing. Especially when your QB is getting tons of pressure everytime he drops back and he has multiple receivers with no idea of where they are supposed to start their route and end their route

Running takes patience, and the running game requires a patient playcaller

Some may be overreacting to the first half but let's face it so far the Cowboys have not looked impressive against a bad Commander team that's on a 5 game losing streak. If the Cowboys lose this game they're going to be in an uphill battle to secure a playoff spot.

At this point and a loss to the Commanders I am not sure playoffs should even be a consideration. I would be willing to admit this season is about a lot of things but it aint about going to the playoffs. Of course that is as a fan...the players on the other hand better get to steppin.

Rex Grossman makes the Skins a different team, he gives them a chance to win football games. Of course he can be a turnover machine at times too, but so can Romo and a lot of other QBs.

Mike Shannahan posts at CZ now? ;)

They need to stop the bleeding. Commanders have the momentum. They have confidence they can move the ball. They get the ball in the 2nd Half.

If we keep giving them the ball on our side of the 50, they can move the ball. The short field killed us at the end of the half.

Unless Fiametta calls the plays to Romo in the huddle, there is definitely something going on here. Commanders have us figured out again, or Romo is just having another one of his REALLY bad games.

Also, die McBriar for that 23 yard punt.

The execution on offense needs to get better or we aren't dominating nothing.

Romo and the receivers need to get on the same page!!!!!

I really hope someone kicks some *** in that locker room.

The guys seem like they're sleeping out there. I want to see someone make a play and get these guys charged up again.

Unless Tony Fiametta is the one kicking tail than it won't matter. No run game, no time to pass makes it too easy for Grossman.

Choice told Shanahan all the stuff Dallas was going to do.

Run the ball, get the ball to Witten a couple times and Ware has to step up and put some pressure on Grossman

They weren't even getting three yards in the second half.

This offense needs to get in some sort of rhythm, Romo's just dropping back in the shotgun waiting for plays to develop down field.

Garrett is really overrated as a offensive coordinator/playcaller, and he's not even that great of a coach. I don't see why he's here.

No doubt we can, question is will we?

You can't just turn it on after you come out flat like this

Pretty much the kind of tough game i expected. I just didn't expect the Skins to be able to punch it in the end zone for 2 TDs.

The offense needs to put some drives together. For the most part, I think the Skins D is winning that battle.

I used to be disappointed that certain posters would avoid the gameday threads like the plague. They could interject some commonsense into the weekly chaos, but really? Would it matter?

No it would not and that's sad.

Better find a way to come back and win, even if it's by a Point. The Skins always get up for Dallas no matter what their record is. We Need this win and to keep winning to stay on track with the Giants.

WAKE UP COWBOYS!

The execution just isn't good. Nobody is in-sync
