I don't know why Moore gets a hard time. We had the number 1 offense last year in yards and points. Even if you think our stats are bloated by playing in the NFC, it's still a top 10 offense.

Dak needed the preseason -- there was no play calling that was goign to make up for those throws last week. Running against the Bucs also isn't an easy chore.

Need to give Kellen Moore credit. He was told by his head coach to call a smarter game, and sure enough, Kellen stepped up and called a much better game. Big difference from the garbage he called against the Bucs during last week's game.

Kellen Moore stepped up...as did Oline Coach Joe Philbin and the rest of the coaches. The whole team showed up to play and literally could have shut out Joe Burrow and the Bengals if our Cowboys had not committed ridiculous personal foul hits, committed other costly penalties and given up 1st downs during 3rd and Longs.

Clean up those dumb fouls/mistakes, keep improving and keep maturing, this team can become what their potential shows they could become.

Bag on him all you want....but in the end.....He just wins. That's what he does. He's a winner. :clap:

Back up QB......No problem

60 million RB....dead legs in the 2nd quarter....no problem.

All pro left tackle...out for year....no problem

Rookie left tackle......no problem.

Undrafted right tackle.....no problem.

Injured TE.....no problem

#1 WR......traded.....no problem

Head coach....poor clock management.....no problem

Defense.....bends....but doesn't break.....no problem.

NFL referees hates us......No problem.

All that and more.....and yet all this guy does is keep this franchise afloat....and in the hunt.

Enjoy the win :)

we've got 15 more to go. Keep it going Kellen.

KM was mediocre. He did not do well in the second half; and nearly lost us the game.

Moore came out with a strong gameplan and then got away from it. He trusted Rush to make tough throws and was mixing runs and passes perfectly. Then once the Cowboys got up 17-3 they went too conservative. It almost cost the game.

From here on out Moore needs to trust Rush and unleash him the entire game. Dallas could have scored 27 or more points today if he did.

Agreed with all of this. When Kellen is at his best with calling plays like in the first quarter, he left the defense not knowing what to expect. But the rest of the time a lot of it is just flat out bad.

Go back and watch....Zeke got tired...and ran out of gas after 8 carries. Those 5 and 6 yards runs in the 1st disappeared....changed the entire game plan.

True. Kellen Moore got more conservative. What hurt the team in the 2nd half were the many ridiculous fouls and our D-secondary (looking at you Trevon Diggs!!!) giving up costly 3rd & Longs that allowed the Bengals to keep their drives alive and score costly points.

The problem with Moore is he can't make adjustments. Like he thinks nobody can make adjustments either. Did you see the 4th time they ran that little flip to the running back, they are lucky we didn't lose the ball there. Zero adjustments in the 2nd half almost 0 points.

they made an adjustment. They started pound Zeke. Which basically killed our offense completely.

Or he could've thrown a pick 6. Hypotheticals are unjustifiable.

I'm confused. Rush did not throw a single interception. There were some close calls but those passes were either tipped or the receiver ran the wrong way.

some of the “Dak till I die” fans will even go as far as inventing phantom Interceptions that never took place. They won’t go gently into that good night. Secretly and not so secretly, rooting for Rush to fail even if it means the Cowboys lose……they’re showing themselves.
