1. Couldn't stop the run. Need more talent on the DLine
2. Couldn't pressure Goff. Need more talent on the DLine.
3. Dak was mediocre, needed to be better.
4. Playcalling was not good. Example: Running into a stacked middle on 4th down. Oh, and into what might be the best DLine in the league.
5. Lack of aggression on D. It looked like we were playing prevent the whole game.
6. Lost the battle at the LOS. Both sides of the ball. This one ties in w/ 1 and 2.

There are many smaller reasons, of course, there always are, but these are the biggies.

The Rams

holding every freaking play has a little to do with it.

The long td run by Gurley... Heath was being held by his facemask and shoulder by Whitworth...unreal no call there.

Linehan and Prescott are huge reasons as well.

What permeates all of your points is that this team is full of over-hyped, over-rated players that are the products of Jerry Jones' propaganda machine. They aren't near as talented and top-level as they are purported to be, and the effort tonight exposed that dramatically. It's a joke when you have a left offensive tackle make all-pro, when he isn't even the best in his division. The defensive line is a paper tiger, and it showed tonight. The "all-world" linebackers were playing matador defense most of the night and looked like deer in the headlights. But what makes it all go is the clapper/spitter......thanks, Jones, you idiot.

That a good summary. The Rams dominated the Cowboys playing Cowboys football.

Dak had his moments but as a whole turned in a decent game. The fourth down stop where Zeke ran into the entire rams d was a crap call. Easy to say when it goes badly but Id have liked to of seen us run another read option or something outside. The rams lines were tough all game.

They scored more points than we did. It's that simple...

You could have stopped at #1.
