[USArmyVet]

Week 1 Red Zone chances: 0 for 0

So they have improved in that at least they are getting in the Red Zone now.


That said, against the Rams Dallas had 2 possessions within the Rams Red Zone and came away with 2 FG's so it isn't as if they came away with 0 points. The same with the game vs. WASH as they had 1 TD and 2 FG's within the Red Zone.....so while TD's are always preferred the fact is they are scoring when in the Red Zone.

We've been having Red Zone problems ever since Romo and Dez left.

Fraudo was QB that game.

ad 3rd down conversions, TDs, more offsne Period but hey 46% of toy think this Kid Rush is the next coming of Aikman and saying delusional things like theres a controversy and daks 2022 Job is on the line..

Umm not a chance, Rush has played beyond exceptions for A BACK UP, I was on board day 1 many weren't on staying with rush the week leading up to game 2 many called me crazy but thought a player who knows this offense won that game last year had the best shot to steer the bus..

I was correct Now that ive seen him play he held up his end to a minimum. hes not starter nor anywhere close to daks talent level and let me say I am correct again, Dak plays as soon as hes ready.. His injury is healed make no mistake , hes simply testing and getting his arm, shoulder, and body prepared similar to a mini camp..he could play Sunday night im sure of that but they want to work him back in with more practice but who knows might be the #2 tonight and be used some in many situations, like we are way down, way up , or close game that needs spark on offense.

unless you leave out we were the #1 scoring offense last year, huh ??
also 2020 Dak and this offense before his ankle injury were red hot scoring what 32.2 YPG?? we were losing because of defense. nay true RZ issues were dak post injury in 2020 and this year rolling with once again backups.

Not sure where that came from soem teams have slump in the RZ but its not been an issue for some time with Dak as the starter.

I have never seen anyone compare Rush to Aikman but the fact is Rush is a starter and has been for 4 (possibly 5) weeks now and has gone above and beyond in not turning the ball over and doing enough to help Dallas win. When Dak comes back will he be able to do the same thing or will he have a chip on his shoulder and do the typical Dak thing of pressing and having to 'prove' he is a top passing QB?

It cracks me up that some people think this will change the moment QB1 returns.

Thanks for the reminder. When Dak and Zeke used to run the read option we were great in the redzone. Wonder what happened to those calls?

Rush isn't Aikman or Brady that's a straw man argument.
What is being shown is this team doesn't need their overpaid franchise QB. They've been calmer and more successful without him.

And that's what really has the Dak stans pooping their panties - he's been exposed as the fraud he is.

#1 scoring offense managed 7 points in 3-1/3 quarters vs SF in playoffs and saw 5 punts, 1 TD, and 1 INT in their first 7 offensive series: 44 plays 114 yards 2.59 yards per play

And it got worse after an entire off-season of Dak claiming he was in the best shape and ready to dominate.

True, great point, throw Witten in there.

They like the swing pass at the 8 with 11 defenders around the goal line!

hey, don't look over there, look over here defense

geez dude, its not about Dak...its about Cowboys....the OP is right, we need to fix the redzone offense.

but understanding that Dak lives in your head rent free, and you are sooooooooooooooooooo obsessed, I get your response

p.s.

one of those chances was a gift from special teams, which they actuallys screwed up. how often do you get gifted a ball at opponents 20 yard line. get 5 yards and a field goal and here are the Fans with an agenda, saying that was a good thing.

so now, lets flipt that on you. what would have been your response if Dak did that in exact same situation. be truthful, but I doubt you can

 

[reddyuta]

the main problem is Moore,he completely loses his marbles once we get to the red zone.

fact is Rush has done exactly what a back up QB is supposed to do. don't lose the game, let the rest of the team win it. don't screw up, and he hasn't screwed up.

people here compared him to Brady, Aikman was their low bar....

You're absolutely right, it has to get much better, and fast. While they've been winning the past 4 weeks, it's putting a lot of stress on the defense, and if the defense snaps, they're probably not recovering from that in one week. The offense has got to be at least 40-50% of the reason they win.
