since the Vikings attacked us just like Philly did but with a better front 7 I was shocked that Garrett didn't make any adjustments to slow down that Viking pass rush.

Did Ogletree even get any playing time at WR today?

Next year's starting WRs for the Cowboys will be Ogletree and Austin.

I too was completely baffled at running absolutely ZERO screens, smoke routes....NOTHING deep at all. I know Romo could make many 7 step drops (if any) but how about running a few shots deep on first down to keep 'em honest. The screen has been money for us and w edidnt even try one against their wimpy corners. UNbelieveable (sorry, couldn't resist).

you guys are idiots. first of all philly plays deep off of the wr.

minnesota plays tight.

second minnesotas linebackers play deep for LBs. and they faked the blitz often.

they got pressure iwth front 4.

so you have lanes clogged with LBs. and corners on top of WRs.

we had deep plays unfortunately romo was running for his life.

so no chances.

What about the halfback screens? I would have liked to seen some of them.

Looks like Garett simply can't ajust in a game.

On some Barber's running I swear if it was Jones it would have been at least 8 to 10 yards but the slow Barber couldn't turn the corner and that was zero.

I still can't understand Garett being so blind.... and still play Barber over Jones and even Choice.

we saw like 8 against philly and i didnt see one used today.

Well, how often did Philly blitz? How did the Vikings blitz? Screens go nowhere if not used on a blitz.

You Don't Run A Screen When The Front Four Is Getting To The Qb. If 4 Are Rushing That Means 7 Are Dropping In Coverage. How In The Hell Would A Screen Beat 7 Guys In Coverage??? Man Do You People Understand The Game Of Football???

garrett seems incapable of making adjustments. but the offense played like crap yesterday so it's hard to say.
