Cowboys O needs more e plosive plays. Since they’re not getting that in passing fame Tony gives them that in the run game.

Zeke needs to pound them and wear them down and Pollard can reap the benefits. Pollard should not be running between the tackles very much, that will slow him down. Use his strengths and use Zeke's strenghths

Moore called run the ball 28 times in the we threw it 31, I would call that balance.

Two of the 28 were kneel downs.. so it was really 31-26. In a game where the backs averaged 5 ypc it should have been 25-35. Especially in that sequence around the two minute mark where we were trying to eat up the rest of the clock and we throw a sideline pass to the rookie on 3rd down. And he promptly gets pushed out of bounds.. Why the hell are you throwing there? Run it one more time eat up another minute off the clock and then kick the FG. Instead because of the pass you leave the Giants almost two minutes to work with. If you're facing a Rodgers or a Brady that kind of stupidity gets you beat.

I'm sorry I like what Moore is doing, he is calling a balanced game they even pointed out at halftime where pass\run are the same. Dallas is not going to run it 100% of the time, you have to be able to pass. On they play you mention it was a boot leg pass if you pick up the 1st down the game is over and even if he stays in bounds and runs some clock they would still be getting the ball back. The TE made the mistake of getting knocked out of bounds. I felt the game plan was very good by Moore and I hope to see it continue. We just do not agree on this.

Zeke is never going to get the ball enough with Moore calling plays., Zeke ran for 9.9 yards in two carries on one drive and Moore called a pass play on 3rd and inches. We ran it down to the 2 foot line and Moore called another pass. In both instances we had a chance to inflict more punishment on their defense and take away their heart.. In both cases we let them off the hook with a pass. But "yards are yards." I am not even inclined to complain about it anymore.. It's not going to change until Moore is gone.. and I fear we will have wasted another generational talent's career by being stupid..

Not only has Zeke been wasted, but IMO, his entire career has been sabotaged, and that includes his rookie year.
