I keep seeing all these click bait articles about how the Cowboys running game is going to be a problem all year just because they only ran for 80 yards on Sunday.

Well guess what, the Cowboys were playing from behind, so those numbers will be skewed. No mention of that!

Also, the most expensive backfield in the league (Iggles) only ran for 63 yards. Where are all the articles about that? Yeah, they played from behind as well, but not a sliver of an article about Murray. Nothing.

Can you imagine if the Cowboys had Murray this year, and he only ran for 80 yards vs. the Giants? All the "experts" would be saying he's washed up, the Cowboys are doomed.

Don't click on the bait.

Considering we are 3rd in total offense, and our RBs accounted for 200 yards of offense, I don't see it as a problem.

I hear ya man.

For the writers who want to see the Cowboys fail, the running game and Dez being out is all they have to hope for.

Couldn't agree more. Every opportunity they get to spell doom and gloom for the Cowboys, they will. Even during the off season, they would rather focus on our offseason losses (players we decided to let go), rather than the players we brought in that actually made the team better. It really is sad.

I'm not buying it. For one we were not behind, at least by that much. We had a chance to go in at halftime up 13-3 and boom Beas fumbled, and then the ole' pass to Witten got intercepted.

We passed the ball a lot! It's not like we were down 21 or anything. Romo had 24 passes at the half which is right around what he averaged for the game last year.

We owned the clock because of sustained drives and Romo snapping the ball at 1 second the whole night.

I'm hoping it was just a game, and not a trend.

ESPN has already dubbed our running game a failure after one game.

Good!! Idiot "experts" who don't know, or refuse to acknowledge, exactly what was going on in the game that dictated more passing, should remain idiots. It's the law.

We were behind nearly the whole game. Weren't you watching?

Yes, and were never out of it, even after them driving to the 3 with 2 minutes left. Just because you're behind doesn't mean go to the Mike Leach offense is my point.

I hated the offense and the way we played, it reminded me of our last OC. Let's hope that changes this week.

I loved the way they played and I don't understand how any fan can get upset with it.

We won the game first of all and we weren't gonna get back in the game by running the ball. McFadden and Randle aren't the type of backs you give the ball 25/30 times like Murray. They're finesse backs. Very good backs and we used all three of them like you're supposed to when you don't have a pure #1 type guy.

Just like teams like New England have over the years. We were down 10 points in the fourth quarter and the versatile passing game brought us back in it and yet people are still whining. Unbelievable. Be happy with the win and the fact we're showing some diversity finally.
