Elliotts production masked most of our weaknesses which we knew or suspected were there including on defense and our passing game with Dak.

Our strength has been our dominating running game. Without it , this is what we’re reduced to.

I disagree. its more than that. the running game hasn't been a problem. we are still churning out enough yards to keep defenses honest. the OL is playing awful, there is protection breakdowns every where and we are not winning our 1-on-1 battles.

same thing on the DL, yesterday was the first time I saw us blitz extensively because Marinelli finally realized the DL is in a lull. the DL has not stunts, just straight ahead win your battle against the OL and we are not getting to the QB. wentz and rivers had ton of time throwing the ball and they started to find their WRs down field. add an average secondary to an average DL play and you get disaster.

Idk, I see Morris doing a fine job and this week Smith looked good as well. Much bigger problem imo is our coaches and lack of an actual secondary.

I really thought we could win without Elliott. Boy was I wrong . Looks like we have some weaknesses which Elliotts absence have exposed on offense.

If that is the case, then Elliot is greatest athlete of all time!

People are such shallow thinkers

What's crazy is the Cowboys have run the ball well the past three games, and these clowns still think EE solves all! As if Elliot wasn't on the field when Denver ran us off the field. Remember that?

Is it possible for people to think beyond 10 seconds ago!

So frustrating

We beat San Fran. San Fran is terrible

We beat Washington. Washington has lost 3 of their last 4.

We beat the Chiefs. That was a mirage because their a fading team. They lost at home to the Giants. And in retrospect the Cowboys not good offensively vs KC when you consider how bad KC is on defense

So those three wins w Zeke, lead us to have false confidence in the team.

The team would've looked awful the past threee weeks w Zeke. His suspension spared him from being associated w this mess, and led many fools to miss analyze his true impact on the team.
