Kellen Moore is a still a problem

[Tommy]

Yes, but we have to keep the clock moving instead we take virtually no time off the clock. It is mistakes like this that will kill us in the playoffs.

You drain the clock by getting first downs. Not by running 3 plays and punt.

 

[big dog cowboy]

This is laughably wrong.

Dallas is 5th of 32 teams in carries. 5th most carries in the NFL.

Then why are we throwing the ball so much in the 4th quarter when they should be running out the clock?

 

[GMO415]

He had a winning plan. Good enough.

 

[Floatyworm]

Run game was totally ineffective tonight. Runs would have at least eaten up some clock.

But your right. He is so pass happy and always will be.

In a pass first league....you got a problem with a guy that wants to throw the football. Might want to look around the league...everyone is throwing the football. It's todays NFL

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

I agree with the OP. Because our pass blocking right now isn't too good, and we've been turning the ball over too much. A strip, sack, fumble at that junction in the game could have lead to a comeback. So, Moore's play calling chewed 18 seconds off the clock, when running it would have taken two minutes off the clock.

Like I've said before, when we have a late lead misdirection run plays need to start being called. It's not about how effective the run has been, it's about running time off the clock.

That's just my opinion and opinions vary. I don't need anyone to agree with my opinion, because my opinion is mine alone. And there's nothing anyone can say to get me to change my mind about my opinion.

 

[T-RO]

And there's nothing anyone can say to get me to change my mind about my opinion.

Wow. Hope I never treat my opinions that way.

I'd like to think that if someone gives me a good argument that I'll weigh it and consider it. Perhaps do a 180 if I'm wrong.

Do admit sometimes I'm too stubborn or vain to do that.

 

[Clove]

Kellen and Mike are not showing anymore offense until the playoffs. Teams get what they get.

There is no such thing as a right or wrong opinion. I know that and that's what makes me stand strong on my opinions.

 

[jazzcat22]

Any dumber than someone complaining about another blowout, double digit win and scoring 27 points?

Despite your 18 million dollar RB averaging 1.8 ypc? Maybe Zeke should do his job better?

Maybe Dak should stop throwing picks, so they don't have to run the ball.

 

[Cmac]

so tired of this narrative. KM is fine. go find a different excuse for Dak.

.....there we have it........Presser coming soon(3-4 weeks from now).......Air Coryell Jr is the next Dallas Cowboys Head Coach.

I might have called a different play but if they get a 1st down then they are in a better position to burn more time. Running you know they go 3 and out. I personally prefer to keep the ball get a 1st then keep the clock running. Even better if they could run for the 1st.

 

[Gaede]

1st down

Run up the middle

Rinse

Repeat.

And if they dare to throw on first, and it's incomplete, 100% chance the next play is a run up the middle

My thoughts are you drain the clock even with 3 straight runs, Titans have to march down the field with 4 minutes left and still need another score afterwards.

 

[blueblood70]

Maybe he should just stick with play design and concepts but he is oblivious to situational football. We are up two scores with roughly 5:30 left to play and throw the ball 3 straight times. No attempt at draining some clock. This shows up time and time again. The play calling cannot continue like this. MM needs to take over if KM cannot understand this.

*Mod please fix the title KM is still a problem.

Thank you

that wasn't great BUT how can he trust that run game to do anything, they were trying to close the game with completions get the first than kneel down. io get the frustration but how that game went in the run game the way our OL was being shoved around they believed that was the best way to get 1st down and end the game. I do agree wish we just ran it 3 times and punted but hey i understand his thought process.

we won by 14.. 10 point spread on the road, let it go

 

[Havic]

Poor game management will rear its ugly head in the playoffs.

 

[Surfguy]

I will not leave my wingman.

 

[tyke1doe]

I don't have a problem passing when the opponent's defense is better at run defense than pass defense. However, as many have pointed out, Kellen Moore appears to lack situational awareness. With five minutes left up 2 TDs, you run as much time off the clock as possible, and the most effective way of doing that is to run the ball.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I am talking about situational football in the example provided. We were already up two scores with 5:30 remaining. Let's take 1:5 minutes off the clock, even if they are failed run plays, instead of giving them back the ball with 5 minutes left to play.

Does it really matter? Sounds like another fan nit picking and looking for something. How about picking up a first down?

so your advice is what? Run 3 times and punt?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Maybe Dak should stop throwing picks, so they don't have to run the ball.

That would certainly help as well. Or the receivers can actually catch the ball.

I love having the problem of 35 points a game.
