The Dallas Cowboys’ 28-25 loss to the Baltimore Ravens once again featured a familiar issue: the inability to run the ball when dared and the inability to stop the run. While there are many issues facing the 2024 Cowboys, this problem has been a constant one for Dallas over the years.

  2. Run game – dry close… but defense by a little. If you can stop the run. Get your defense off the field gives your offense more time of possession you can compensate for a lackluster running game by doing screens passes out to the flat reads so I had to pick I think improvement needs to come on defense.

  4. Tom…when it comes to the Cowboys, some things never change and never will. They will draft a stud RB in the draft and do the same things they are doing now that arent working thinking that will fix everything. Its what they have done for more years than not. Its in Jerry's DNA!

  5. This organization will never win a Super Bowl with this front office. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ So sad what this franchise has become since the 1990’s.

  6. Through 29 years what’s been the one constant? Jerry. The game the true meaning of the game which is to win championships has passed him by. To him a successful game is a full house and the team being the talk good or bad on ESPN

  8. This organization will never win a Super Bowl with this front office. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ So sad what this franchise has become since the 1990’s.

  9. We lose this Thursday against the Giants the season is officially over if not already. Bottom line this franchise sucks and will continue to suck until we have new ownership or Jerry out of the picture. I see no hope in this team!

  14. Ok this is the real issue cowboy fans. …..1. fewer preseason games and practice times cut. 2. Ever stop to think that new Orleans and the ravens actually are top 10 NFL rushing teams. And we are still trying to find out what talent we actually have and at this point they look weak and don't appear that the young guys are doing much out there. 3. Coaching needs to simplify the playbook. Obviously the young players don't know they're playbook. So if I was coaching I'd find players who want to learn it fast 😊

  17. It's the oline and play calling that is affecting the run. If you send duece to Kansas City or San Francisco and he will look like Berry Sanders. Another big problem is these guys play soft..they play like they have no grit or fight in them.
