Kellen Moore screwed up this victory

[Redball Express]

From the game's onset analyst Tony Romo repeatedly said the multiple TE sets were telegraphing to the Steelers what the Cowboys were going to do in those formations -and that those plays would not be successful.

Then - as the game unfolded - we all saw how Garrett Gilbert possessed pretty good running ability that helped put Dallas in the lead for nearly all of the game --BUT-- OC Moore deliberately went away from that strength in the last quarter.
I will rewatch the game tomorrow to point out significant plays and series to bolster my opinion.

You don't need to waste your time reviewing for us.

Moore stopped calling pass plays rolling out Gilbert.

We know.

He left Gilbert in the pocket the entire 4th Qt and let the Steelers just squeeze him like an anaconda with a piglet.

When he wasn't running Zeke on 2nd and 13 he was throwing out routes on 3rd and 17. Netting 6 yards.

It was a complete failure on Moore's part. Just like with Dalton, Manucci and Dak.

He can not call plays for anybody but Dak.

Why is McCarthy doing this?

I guess he wants Lawrence too.

Moore is a QB Killer.

No but they're liable to draft a tight end.

LLLOOLLL

Loser! I can't stand people like you.

That was my mom main Man. We did not miss an episode. Loved Kojak, Hawaii 5-0, Cannon and Barneby Jones and Mannix.

BS..... Moore did a great job considering. Only issue was over playing zeke.

The play action early was getting the QB killed the OL play is so poor. Same with deep routes, no time unless you move the pocket. OL is trash other than Martin and you can't do much with a trash OL.

The oline did better than expected against their league leading pass rush. Everyone thought Gilbert was gonna be a sacrificial lamb tonight. They needed some play action and slants behind the backers. They don’t take long, and slow down the aggressiveness of the D.

Moore called a great game. Not sure what the hell you were watching.

He called a "good" game.. I would not go so far as to call it "great." He still wants to shift in to that damn 5 wide empty look in the red zone. I think it cost us as least 11 points today and probably a chance to win the game. He has been doing this since he became the OC and it makes me sick to my stomach. Even when the running game gets clicking he will not stay with it when we get close to the goal line. If I had any hair I would have pulled half of it out today.

You're not very smart if you dont want to play in NYC.

The problem with playing in NYC is you also have to live there.. Most southern kids have no use for NY/New Jersey weather..

Every loss over the last 10 years has either been on Jason Garrett, Mike McCarthy, or Kellen Moore.

The players have been undefeated for over a decade now according to the Zone. Wish we had a real coach.

At some point, the players need to be held accountable...and once again mistakes cost us...thas not on coaching, that's on the players.

No one including Jerry and family wants to win the rest of the way.
Stinks but possible glory can only be had through this misery riddled season!!!!!

We’re not tanking for Trevor, we’re not drafting a QB.

This bye is a good test for this staff They have players returning and time to prepare if the Vikes are a epic fail, this staff is a fail.
Team played hard yesterday but the Steelers did not.

What about Starsky and Hutch?...Baretta?....The Rockford Files?

 

[Runwildboys]

Moore called a very good game. I don't think I've ever seen a game in which every play worked for the offense, especially with what, a fourth string QB? And that's behind a makeshift O-line, with a RB who had a few good runs, but still seems to prefer running into people, over running through gaps

 

[Proof]

Exactly I was worried we were going to win there for a minute.

Giants got a W.

Jags lost but at least it was to the Texans which the Dolphins hold their pick.

Cheering hard for the Jets tomorrow.

Since the dolphins hold the Texans pick, wouldn’t we have preferred the Jags won?

.....I've been saying this for some time now.....His offense is pass-happy, predictable, and a penchant for trickery....nothing conducive to a RB like Zeke.....and compound that with a withered OL....it is what it is for the QB and RB. Pollard runs well today, and then he's out....Zeke gets something positive...he's out. When Dak went down....it has been more exposure on KMoore. I get the fumbles by Zeke earlier and the death sentence imposed on him by the base....I'm just mystified by the lack of criticism missing when grading KMoore. He's baffling every game and the base generally looks the other way.

Question: Can you name one game KMoore has clearly showed evidence as an Offensive Guru in the making or had a defense confused?

Well I guess if football allowed rolling to gain yards then the criticism would be the offense is roll happy. It is not just about the scheme or putting the same calls on auto-play, but also player execution and minimizing penalties. We played competitively against the Steelers in all phases of the game. They have not lost a game yet this season. Our offensive line is performing better but it still is not a full strength or as capable as it was in previous seasons. The Steelers were behind our line of scrimmage, instantly, way too often.

I am quite impressed with our acquisition of Gilbert at this stage of the season. He performed better than Dalton.

Me too.....I thought GG did very well considering all the circumstances.

Question: Where was Noah Brown in the offense for the Steeler game?

5th string qb....decimated offensive line....hurt and pass his prime RB. I mean you have to do something to generate something on the OL. Common sense IMO. Doing what we have been doing since Dak went down has not been working.
