Twitter: Red Zone Offense: Unbelievable

I knew it was bad, but yikes.

That is horrible. Can’t invest that much into a running game to get this type of red zone production.

Maybe the #1 culprit of failing in red-zone isn't Prescott or the OC... Maybe it's the offensive line.

I hope Sunday is the day the light bulb comes on. I hope we score early and often. I can dream.

Is a .6 yard gain/play average not good?

Boom!!

0.25 yds a carry is some smashmouth football right there.

no.its mainly Dak and Linehan.I dont see creativity in the red Zone and even when they get creative it doesnt work.

1st down run
2nd down pass
3rd down sack
4th down FG hopefully it goes through

That's how it's been going lately.

Too many injuries on the o line and Dak is sometimes limited.

So I was right. I keep looking at these opportunities,and seems they either lose yardage,gain a few,or pick up near nothing. Only Garrett....he’s the only one who can pull a rabbit out of his hat each season,with odd and obscure records for futility. But this year,he threw in a extra cherry on top with the most sacks given up too.

Scott Linehan's "changeup": stop getting into the red zone.

Throw bombs to Amari Cooper from outside the 30, as it's the only plays he calls that work.

Its Dak. A defense can easily stack the box when there is no threat of a good throwing QB.

 

[MojaveJT]

Even an elite defense can’t overcome that. That stat is just plain ugly.

We ranked 5th and 7th in the red zone the last two years.

Tell you what, they certainly just as much to do with the issues as anyone else.......

Keep in mind it isn't possible to have a play greater than 20 yards. Much better would be to look at it comparatively.

Not so much
But if you get 50 carries it adds up
Still games to play

This alone should get Linehan fired.

I don't think I can recall any team ever having the NFL's leading rusher yet ignoring him to be clever with goal to go like this idiotic staff does.

This game is not nearly as complex as they make it out to be.

They make it harder because they have actually fallen into the pattern of doing what is clever. They coach scared and don't have faith in their best talent.

If you want to play Bully Ball, you don't go all finesse with a score on the line.
