Scoring Summary Regular Season through 13 games

CeeDee- 6 Tds (5 games)
Giants 1, Washington 1, Chicago 1, Packers 2, Indy 1

Gallop 3 Tds (in 2 games)
Washington 1, Indy 2

N Brown 1 Td
Bengals 1

Schultz 3 tds (in 2 games)
Giants 2, Packers 1

Ferguson- 2 tds
Philly 1, Chicago 1

Hendershot- 1 td
Detroit 1

We have the best non scoring wrs is more like it. Lol

If our wrs are so good how come they aren't catching many TD passes and we have to run to score 3 times more often

If we're the #1 scoring team since Dak has been back it has nothing to do with TD passes from Dak at all lol

CeeDee is a stud 6td wr is more like it. Ha ha ha

Completions and yards matter but most peeps are overlooking the most important stat of all which is crossing the goal line with the ball in your hands against good competition.

That's why we're gonna be allergic to prosperity in the playoffs.

Our wrs and tes can't hit their head on the goalposts in the regular season so why you believe they can in the post season is ludicrous.

Ya stop the run scoring and this team can't carry the scoring averages

Sf can
TB can
The eagles can

And they are all on grass. Our defense couldn't even hold a 2 TD lead on grass against gb lol
They choose to run the ball in most short yardage situations, and most of the time, our TDs are short yardage situations. With as little room as there is to throw a TD in short yardage, the throws need to be pinpoint accurate. Running the ball is safer and more effective, not because of the receiver, but because of the run blocking, in comparison to the pass blocking, combined with the congestion in the end zone. A high jumper like Dez was helpful, especially with the familiarity he had with Romo, but guys like him are few.

It’s not even about TDs. They’re great but we’re having a ton of success running the ball in the red zone so I’m fine with that.

It’s about dudes being able to separate and get open.

Outside of Lamb, we have a bunch of JAGs. Everything is rainbows and butterflys now but Im not confident in the playofffs when we play a team that clamps down on our running game and makes us throw and we have 1 WR capable of consistently getting open.

We all knew when we lost coop that we didn't have a number one. Its hard to throw to a 2 and a 3 especially when the three is just now getting in shape and healthy. It was incredibly irresponsible for the Jones’ to give Dak the receivers that they have. They think just bring in a rook it will be taken care of. At least now with hilton he can max out at a 2 and be a deep threat. Great route runner but imo we still dont have enough. These knuckleheads always let a position group go every year! Im not sticking up for Dak either he has been off alot this year they need to go up tempo all game Dak loses his urgency. Seems like we have a bunch of 2’s and 3’s on this team!
Umm CD is top 7 in almost all passing category's, thats out of what most teams use 2 wrs every play so 7th out of 64 WRs LOL hes a #1 took 1/4 of the seaosn to adjust and for Moore to figure out how to use him but he performing every bit as good as Coop if not Better on rookie deal, not a 22mil anchor to our cap...

issues are more to this,

we have one of the bottom 5 Pass win rate and pressure OL, you see that? daks being hit, under pressure, moves of fhis spot, KM has issues either with design or how the Wrs are running routes IE one of the worst septation groups in the nfl, and some how we ignore that..LOL

so there issues with the pass game that being ignored and dumped on Dak as usual.. also being hes 6-1 in his return and would be 7-0 had the defense not blown that GB lead and Hes impacted the total offense from bottom 5 to top 5.

NEXT ignorant narrative to bust??

However, we are 10-3 so these problems are what exactly? Dak would be undefeated since his return, if the defense doesn't blow a 14 point 4th qtr lead


i mean i come to this place daily and think, are we 6-7 because fans believe we have all these issues and problems that our record says we do NOT. i mean is this the twilight zone? are we in backwards world?

Lastly, we also added TY and Washington that will help very soon.

Stop saying the defense blew a 14 point lead, when the offense is at least equally responsible.

what if we're trying to score and we're not in the red zone then?? Huh

I saw 2 instances where we were in the Red zone last week and our #2 wr and #1 te dropped the ball.

We're not capitalizing on any big plays or intermediate plays for tds unless Pollard runs it in for 40 yards.

Were lacking a wr and te that can go up and get a ball in one on one situations

Simply put We have more possession type receivers who kinda lack those go up and get a ball skills or separation skills

We're playing small ball really well but the big play dynamic at wr is lacking since Coop left the building

we're saying were just more focussed on the run but there's a reason why we are!!!

Little Jalen is throwing bombs and we're just dinking and dunking js

The "go up and get the ball" type receivers are what I meant when I mentioned Dez. There just aren't that many out there.

As for our #2 WR dropping one in the end zone, did you see the friggin' hit he took? He went up for the ball, and the instant it was in his hands he was absolutely drilled from behind, and he held onto it until his body then slammed on the ground. (Which speaks to my assertion that there's so much traffic in the end zone that it makes it much more difficult to catch a pass.) Even then, had he been 2" closer to the ground when he got drilled, his second foot would've been down for the TD.

I doubt there's any receiver in the league who could've held onto that ball. Most probably would've dropped it as soon as the defender slammed into them. No way in Hell Cooper would've held onto it.

Well I mean that’s kinda my point…we’re fine in the redzone but when we need to throw the ball to help get us there we have a bunch of dudes that can’t separate (outside of Lamb).

Lamb’s our only threat.

The problem is you dont understand football. And even if you dont understand what you are seeing you can always look up the stats for reference.

And he's even less of a deep threat with Cooper's Absense

Lamb has been about a 6 TD a yr wr over these past 3 years.

When you have 2 lower echelon #1 wrs like Coop and Lamb you just can't cut one of them and expect a low end #2 or #3, or #4 to step up and fill those scoring averages

The only thing we did right was use Pollard this year and improve our Left tackle and defense some

How is trying to replace Cooper with James Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Ty Hilton not costing us money and draft resourses??? Monopoly money at that. And we're still not as good as we woulda been had we just handed the ball off to Pollard and Kept Cooper

Zeke and Pollard are the same guys they were last year. We just had the pecking order mixed up.

Most peeps said pollard was the best rb on the team. Including me.

Just keep feeding him first because Zeke can't make those big chunk plays anymore!!!

And somebody has to do it.

Enough about Zeke already. Let's see what Pollard and Davis can do between the 10 yard lines first

I think you'll all be surprised!!

No he’s not. Lamb is top 10 in 15+ yard plays.

But yea, outside of Lamb the WR room is a problem. We did a terrible job of replacing Cooper.

THE REAL PROBLEM IS PRESCOT! His slow starts tell me that he has a real problem reading the field, DCs have figured out how to control him and Prescot doesn't have a clue on how to counter their moves. Which results in him throwing to covered receivers and TEs and when he does throw to an open man his passes are either too short or over his man's head which also results in interceptions. Prescot is a mess at this point and time which and should be benched in favor of Rush. MM has to realize Prescot isn't leading this team anywhere and anytime soon!
