Which will suck less?

That will likely decide Sunday's game.

wow, didn't realize Tampa was that bad on RZ defense

The "Resistable Force" vs the "Movable object"!

Resistable object vs. stoppable force.

A battle of the ages.

Win and in, baby!

Evidently Scott Linehan does better with scoring outside the red zone a la 75 yard bombs to Cooper. Once in the RZ- especially inside the 5- there is some kind of amnesia that hits Linehan, forgetting that he has a top 3 NFL RB to hand the ball to.

Our offense will suk less.

Cowboys clinch division. 19-9. Lol

Some of us chose to look at it as who will be better. But to each his own.

Scary part is that I think we will stop ourselves

This is my lock of the season for the Cowboys.

Then we’ll rest against NY and roll into playoffs 9-7 with a hope and a prayer vs The Vikes or Hawks.

Linehan dind't call the 75 yard bomb to Cooper. They freelanced it.

I think the problem is we’re limited in playcalling because of Daks weaknesses. Dink and dunk isn’t very effective in Redzone.

When our most effective play in redzone is Dak running it , you’re pretty limited.

 

[DogFace]

Still can’t believe Sunday after our first shutout since 2003 wasn’t the right time to move on from Linehan.
This equals the Alexander hire in severity of poor decisions.

I think Tampa struggles a lot with the run game and feel Zeke will have a big game, I also think Dak and these WR will make enough plays to put up points. If Cowboys defense plays to their ability I fully expect the Cowboys to handle Tampa

Its not,, but that's when you turn to your running game. Unfortunately, Linehan turns to trickery to try to fool the other team into making a mistake. He did it again against the Colts when they were losing 7-0. Imagine if they get into the end zone and tie it 7-7? The Cowboys never took the momentum back from the Colts after giving to them about 10 times. I would love to see them just go 4 quarters without a holding penalty. What's interesting is the Bucs have almost as many holding penalties as the Cowboys, just not nearly as many sacks.

Are you kidding?

After second franchise lows for scoring in 2017, the organization decided to double down with Scott Linehan. Despite the total mishandling and bungling of the Chaz Green game in Atlanta, they gave Scott Linehan anything and everything he wanted.

He wanted Frank Pollack gone as O-line coach? Poof! Pollack was gone and in comes Paul Alexander. Remind me again how that went?

He wanted Dez Bryant hone because he couldn't take anyone daring to question him. Boom! Bryant hone, but not until they allowed him to twist in the wind for months. How'd that whole WR committee thing work out?

And they allowed him to install his stepson Kellen Moore, a guy who never deserved to be here in TE first place, as his quarterbacks coach, no experience necessary. How's that working out?

No, the organization made their bed on Scott Linehan, so they deserve what they're getting.

The 31st ranked red zone offense in the league.

5th and 7th in the red zone the last two seasons with Dak, Zeke, Linehan, starting OL, Dez, and Witten.

Missing those last 3 elements this year though.
