Unless this team makes an effort to run the football, we may find ourselves "One and Done."

In order to run the ball, we must have all of our WRs in tact so they can't tee-off on us in the run game like yesterday.

I'm not upset we lost the game. Everyone knew we were going to mail it in.

BUT....

We haven't made an effort to establish the running game.

Yesterday [and the Philly game] would have been a perfect time to run the ball.

Clearly, our passing game was going to suffer. [No TO, Romo in for a half, Brad playing the 2nd half]

We have a Pro Bowl back and O-Line.

I wonder what they are thinking sometimes.

We also have to find a way to hide Jacques Reeves a little better if we are going to have a chance :) .

Please this team can not run unless the passing game is working it has been that way all year. We have to pass to set up the run. Barber 1st carry was -4 yards a couple time Barber tried to bounce it instead of cutting up inside for positive yards.

Despite Barber hard noes running he trys to bounce outside way to much instead of going up the cut then cutting

I saw that, Barber isn't a bounce to the outside runner, he is better mixing it up between the tackles.

they can make the effort all day long, sir dunce. but until we have a solid #1 rb who can actually break a tackle and not be so enamored with the backside of our own OL, why run it?

do you really go "i can't wait to see julius run!!!"??? or are you like the rest of us (stupid question) and when you see him run you just realize we gave up a down?

running game is a top priority in the off-season.

Maybe Alan Ball can take over. Unless they're gonna keep calling PI on him when the receiver tackles him. Reeves is approaching Jason David territory. If he has anything that he does well, I don't know what it is.

Him or Mario Edwards.

The Refs and the opposition absolutely loved him :laugh2: .

Yep....looks like we desperately need Owens back.

That didn't help against the Eagles.

I agree about the lack of a running game. It's very troubling that we can't run it.

you take a good game, others take our historic bad play where we set a record in suckiness.

a little consistancy before the playoffs would have been nice.

yeah I agree consistency is always a good thing. I just dont put anything into yesterday.

I would like to see us play with the intensity we had against green bay. the look on the players faces and coaches faces in pregame against green bay told me how that night was going to go.

I expect to see that same intensity and focus.

I just really dont put anything into yesterday, maybe I am wrong, but to me it meant nothing.
