Jerry, you are the GM. Fix it.

We lose when this happens. Are you so incredibly out of it that you don't even notice this? Fix it.
Yep once again, whether it’s Dak changing the play or picking a deeper route or Moore calling pass plays. We once again just like the bucs and egirls game got away from the run. MM needed to recognize this and correct it. We should have ran and threw only short passes with a 14 point lead. Move the chains. But our Defense once again could not stop the run.

Unfortunately K It’s more complicated that just fixing it.

Jethro wants Dak to be a prolific elite type QB. He’s not going to pay 40 million for a Rush type bus driving QB.

And his puppets on the sidelines are going to carry that out.

We are like 40-4 in Dak era when Elliott rushes for over a 100 yards.

We know what the winning ingredient is. And Pollard had well over a 100 yards but when your defense gives up a 14 point lead in the 4th qtr you feel the need to pass to win the game.

Kellen Moore is the worst play caller in the NFL not named Nathaniel Hackett . He’s so bad it’s borderline sabotage. I don’t understand how he’s employed .

I read this morning in local paper this was first time in Cowboys history we lost a game after leading by 14 points in 4th qtr.

Cowboys were 195-0 including playoffs when leading by 14 points in 4th qtr until yesterday.

That’s an easy answer. He’s a great puppet for the most dysfunctional owner in the league.

And it's Jerry who needs to take a hand. Stop w/ the ridiculous statements that we scored 28 and it should be enough. Not how it works. Our O couldn't move the ball in the 4th resulting in our D having to face Rodgers too many times. Just a few more 1st downs and we win the game. Throw some short passes, why does everything have to be 20 yards downfield?
To “justify” Dak’s money?

If the offense had gotten even a FG in the 4th we win...Dak went 2-6 for 9 yards on 2 drives.

To be honest, I have been wondering if Jones has been telling McCarthy, Moore and Prescott that passing is what makes watching football exciting and he wants his money's worth.

Pollard was our path to victory not Dak throwing 50 times. Stupid playcalling.
We dont agree often but we do here. This team has thrown with the lead even in the Romo days. The Detroit game comes to mind. 20 point lead at half. Throw 20 more times. lol Makes no sense.

The Cowboys had never lost a game in franchise including the playoffs when leading by 14 points. 195-0. There’s no responsibility on the defense?

Of course there is. Doesn't negate any of what I just stated.
It shouldn’t have mattered is my point.

If a top 10 defense can’t hold a 14 point lead in 4th qtr when the offense has already put up 28 points , why isn’t the defense the focus of criticism ?

I seriously doubt Jethro wants to pay his 40 million qb who he’s hyped to be an elite and then watch him be more like a bus driving Cooper Rush. That’s not very entertaining.

Wasn’t everyone entertained yesterday? Lol

1)Our run defense is bad. Teams run stretch plays. East-west running and misdirection.
2)We pass too much. Is that all Moore, Dak audibles, or a little of both?

I do not disagree but that is not what I am questioning. What I would like to know is whether the owner/GM/president of the Dallas Cowboys is voicing or instructing his head coach, offensive coordinator and/or franchise quarterback to pass more than what they want.

If true, that action would be meddling by definition. And detrimental to coaching and/or player execution on the field.

You want the Owner/GM to interfere with the coaching mid-season and "fix" the offense?

Slap yourself.
Done slapped the crapp out of myself.

You don't want to fix this obvious problem? Hit yourself w/ a brick upside the head.
