Well, I got a question for Mike Evans

If the Cowboys are so simple then why didn't the rest of the NFL figure them out?

The Cowboys have a 12-5 record, with the #4 offense and the #5 defense in the league.

Maybe the Cowboys are that simple. They are simply going to stroll into Tampa Bat and whoop some Buc azz.

Simple enough, Mike?

Is anyone surprised? We are running the same offense we have had since Garrett became OC in 2007. It literally has never changed. He took it with him and all Linehan did as OC is call plays from Garrett's playbook. Kellen Moore became OC and guess what? Using Garrett's playbook and tactics.

This offense is nothing more than "go out and beat your man". No adjustments, no scheme, no creating mismatches. We line up and go at it. Outs and curls. Predictable playcalling patterns. It's been talked about for years about how predictable this offense is

You know, I agree with the guy. Dallas offense does look simple to me. But to be honest, so does Tampa's offense.
Tampa can be had with a team that gives effort and recognizes a flawed position (i.e. Panther CB as an example....2 weeks ago)

......then why is KMoore getting interview opportunities? Never been impressed and certainly don't understand the immunity he gets every week.

How tough could it be when you feature Zeke over Dak or Pollard? Run Zeke up the middle, run Zeke up the middle. 3rd and long............Tee off
Anything is better than handing the ball to a slow and plodding, way past his prime, RB that struggles to average 4 ypc and rarely can score outside the 3 yard line.


Zeke gives a better chance at winning than Dak does, the way he has been playing and throwing interceptions.
Moore needs to learn how to put Zeke and Tony on the field more and utilize that without being predictive on the plays.

People laughed at me when I said. I could call most of Dallas plays from the couch. I believe him. Simple-Vanilla-Kellen Moore. I just hope some other team is dumb enough to hire him!!!
and somehow consistently when daks starting our offense is and has been top 5 and at times the #1 offense in the league..how does that happen LOL we have an overrated and overpaid QB, no #1 wr, bad coaches, simple schemes and b2b 12 win seasons with playoff berths.. lmao umm ok i guess most nfl defensive coordinators and players are all ignorant and yet you ALL are somehow so smart, you know whats coming and they do not??

you all debate our team as if we are the jets or bad team and somehow struggle to get to 7-8 wins yearly. right umm ok sure you are i guess the egales D was stupid to allow Prescott and Moore light them up from the most points and yard then any team they played this year and lost, odd huh crazy we pay them, twice year and they still couldn't stop it.. and yet we spotted them 10 point leads twice and still beat them..crazy simple schemes..;):rolleyes:

you have to be simple when your QB has issues processing what he sees, but let's blame Moore.

Some of the best things in the world are simple. Don't confuse being simple with being incompetent. Our D can handle the Bucs enough to keep us in the game. It will be up to our offense to keep up and overcome.

I'm no Kellen apologist, but he has consistently had one of the top offenses for a while. Which kind of makes me wonder, if they're so simple and easy to figure out why does that continue to be the case? I'm not buying that we have superior talent than every other team either. I think it's a combination of both good players and good coaching. With some head scratchers thrown in here and there.

Why does having the top offense in the regular season never translate come playoff time?

I dunno and don't claim to. Just giving my opinion. If I had the answer to that I wouldn't be sitting at home posting on a message board.

Its coming

sorry but 27 isnt that much considering it took the eagles 60 years to win ONE let alone we have 5 aitu gon our 6th, took the chiefs 51 years between their wins, Bengal's 31 between losses, and many teams with zero still waiting and other examples i will not go look up for you but even in other sports like 100year curses were broken and those fans felt great..

18 other teams around the nfl have not be to sb since 1996 , i get the frustration but this is not the worst drought n, not even close and our time will come again. lie i said at least we are awaiting our 6th..makes it easier that we had 3 in the 90s to hold us over

soem\of us choose to see it like that vs all the negativity,..

Yep, simplicity is what most, gets things done.

Well, how is our offense so good then?
Is it the players? Is our offense just so stacked that we’re one of the top in the league while running a peewee level scheme?

If our offensive philosophy is so simple and predictable, who deserves the credit for it being so productive?
How do we score so many points and win so many games?
