The oline isn't dominant anymore...thats the difference. Zeke and Dak both suck when the line struggles. I mean that's basically it.

Zeke without Tyron in would look much like he did earlier in the season when he was averaging under 4 yards a carry. With this vanilla offense, Zeke would get devoured.

When opponent scores over 30, Cowboys are 0-4.

When they score less than 30, Cowboys are 5-1.

Defense continues to be the problem. It becomes even more apparent when the offense is short-handed and can't put up 30 of their own.

But it starts with the defense. It's not good enough. Hasn't been for years.

This team is built for an elite run game which includes a back like Zeke and a stud O-line. Take away one of those two(or both) and this offense can't function. Everything has to be perfect for it to hum, see last season or Romo's in 2014 with Murray.

The offense needs a complete overhaul, including the coaches. Beat your man only works when all is right in the world while avoiding injuries and suspensions.

The passing game is a total joke.....

Yes, but not a surprise with 71% of the cap space assigned to the offense.

It's actually by design. The offense <is> expected to put up nearly 30 a game for this team to win.

Cowboys are 0-3 when scoring less than 20.

There is no such thing as *the* problem.

The defense is terrible but Dak should not get a pass.
He is now dealt with what most other QBs in the league are dealt with. An average o-line and mediovre running game. He has yet to carry this offense. His level of play starting to get very concerning

Zeke is a game changer. Zeke gets yards after contact. Morris, a serviceable back, does not. That is the difference. I saw another couple holes open that Zeke would have popped but Morris doesn't have it. Zeke is an MVP caliber player by himself. With Zeke, Dak is an MVP caliber player.
