We have a RB running all over the defense and a big lead and we pass the ball. Especially late in the 4th.

If you are him, how do you even show up for practice after this and listen to these jackasses?

If E. Smith played with this Cowboys team he would never have broken the NFL rushing record, much less made the HOF. The coaching staff would have figured out a way not to give him the ball. Today, with the way the running game was running there was no way you can justify abandoning the run; especially when the Cowboys had such a large lead.

So teams typically run more with the lead huh?! What will be the excuse now for neglecting Murray? Kinda reminds you of the Lions game a year ago, useless pass after useless pass til the other team won.

Bump and not just in the 4th qtr when we have the lead like some suggest. Try quarters 1-3, then cementing the game with more in the 4th. Said it all season, Murray should never go a game without 20+ rushing attempts. NEVER!! Less Romo Is More.

2nd down and 6 with 2:58 and Murray is averaging 7.4 a carry. Why pass? Run the ball and run the clock. Terrible play call there and terrible play.

Garrett deserves to be fired for that game mismanagement.

This is a really dead horse. Even when they can run they simply choose to play Chuck-ball, just like Brees and the Saints today...33 rushing yds with 2 INT's in one half of football on the road. Simply disastrous!

Seriously I don't get it. We ran the ball AT WILL. Then abanadon the run after having the lead and continue the pass?.

Just be glad god granted you the sense not to understand it. If you did you'd be Jason Garret, because he's the only person who thinks like that.

This game was just a more painful replay of the Detroit game a couple of years ago. Garrett will NEVER learn because he's a *******.

Murray would have only put us in 3rd and long. Keep going to our strength, passing. Its our only way to move the ball and score because we have too many receiving options for the opponent to matchup with us. Why run, when this is a passing league and we have a $100M QB and unguardable WRs? Doesn't make sense to run, EVER!!

I saw a lot of plays in the 2nd half from the shotgun. Even on 1st down. That's all on the play caller(s).
