I know some people are blaming Prescott, but I don't see it that way. It all came down to the 4th quarter. They were 14 points up in the 4th quarter and you allow one of the best in the game to split your cheeks, down the middle of the field.

Not cool. I felt like we could have had this team if we had unloaded Zeke on them to wear the defense down. And it was really the defense that put the Packers back in it.

Dallas missed Zeke this game. More than even I would have imagined. But I can say without a doubt that the Cowboys missed Zeke Elliot today.

Hilarious that you types continue to stick up for Zeke. Even after pollard goes for 250 yards and 4 TD's over the last two games without him. Dak hasnt gotten killed and Pollard handled a full load today. And he still averaged over 5 ypc in both games. Lots of myths busted in the last two weeks.

If Zeke played in this game the Cowboys probably get blown out.

We missed a pounding inside runner, yes.

Dak was terrible in the 4th.

Davis and Pollard were both running well up the middle. In my opinion zeke could be substituted for either and it would have been good. I don't know if it was play calls or audibles, but they should have ran more in the 4th.

There were a bunch of times, i was saying "run the ball" to the tv this game, and they kept passing. Although I woulld have said they should pass the ball if they failed running

Why are they playing this guy elite money then? The packers are a piss poor team and this cheap QB got rattled.

I hate to break the news to anyone but 34 Davis looked fresh hard to tackle and in OT rips off a 16 yard beauty that’s called back because 66 is caught in hand to hand combat which happens in every NFL run play on the interior . No 34 could have been exactly the kind of weapon to wear down GB if used properly .

Exactly. It was entirely the kind of stupidity you'd expect from Moore. Davis looked like a bruiser in there, and he was hungry. Better limit his touches, especially at the end.

At the very least hopefully 34 has broken this teams infatuation with Dowdle Davis should be a part of this teams offense with or without 21 at the expense of having the luxury of 4 TE’s suit up .

They can continue working Pollard this hard every week and he will be useless in the last third of the season.

There were a few other issues, but I agree and said the same thing in the 3rd quarter. I also agree Davis could also have been used similarly.

Just a couple games of Dak being back, and we're back to that ridiculous passpasspass mentality. I don't even care who's responsible, STOP IT. IT DOES NOT WORK.
