Watch Bryant drop a perfect pass on 3rd down that probably would have won us the game late in the 4th, stuff like that all the time. When someone needs to make a play on offense no one does even when the ball hits them in the hands

yeah the 2 drops by our 13 million dollar diva killed 2 of the drives.
Dallas not correcting the pass rush problems led to sacks and pressures that killed other drives.
Poor play calling, and abandoning the run early on even though we had the lead !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To me, it seemed like we got next to nothing on first down, just took what they would give us on 2nd, which left us facing a situation of having to make a 3rd down conversion to get almost every ten yards and a 1st down. That means our basic offense just slogged along a bit and punted because too many steps had to be executed correctly in order to move the ball down the field. Net result was TOP looks good, but we're sort of running in place while the clock is ticking.

They may not be able to go more than 30 yards per drive, but there is not a better offense in the league that can get you 8 yards when you need 9.

During our 7-game skid, we haven't been that bad at piling up the yards and controlling the ball. We rank 9th in the NFL with 33.7 yards per drive, 4th in plays per drive, and we actually lead the league in TOP per drive at 3:15.

Of course, that only goes to show how important yardage and TOP stats really are -- that is, not very. The most important offensive stats relate to scoring. In the category of TD per drive, we rank 27th over the last 7 games.

I missed the game. I know our run game struggled. But, why did literally every drive stall?

Buy NFL Game Pass and watch the replay or watch the replay on the NFL network. You must suffer with the rest of us who already saw it.

I am going to watch it, thanks hopefully NFL network replay. Sounds like poor coaching.
