There are other receivers on the team not named Dez. What were their stats?
DAK seems to just throw it into coverage with Dez..

We were doing better throwing to whoever is open like we were doing when Dez was out.

It was making it hard to defense.

Not not so much now.

We have to see Dez more as a decoy than a primary guy.

I was listening to The Lunch Break (www.dallascowboys.com) and they said Witten was open for 1st downs on two of those throws to Dez. The counter-argument was, though, that if Dez is the first read and he's one on one, you take that throw.
Yes but the throws were one thing the accuracy of a lot of those throws were another.

It actually doesn't.....

Every OL except #70 had multiple missed blocks.....

Our WR were blanketed for entire game minus 1 play......

We ran a terrible game plan......where were the screens? the quick slants (oh yeah Dez fumbled one).....

We took Zeke out on fir the most part on 3rd downs.....

Their punting coupled with our stupid penalties killed field position....

Again, we missed so many blocks on 2nd/3rd down.....completely killed.......

Stacked box of 8 with 2 players shooting same gap with stunts on 3rd & long--we literally didn't have an answer[see Romo get killed on these plays]....
it was a refined Philly gameplan, NYG has better personnel than philly. Philly was not sending all out blitzes but they were overloading blocking assignments.
