The perception is that the Cowboys didn’t take any shots down the field.

Elliott was held to a 2.5-yard average (51 yards on 21 carries), although he had his first touchdown, and the only one for Dallas. That positive gain could have given Dan Bailey a chance to kick a game-winning field goal, but Williams has to do that right thing before the play ends.
But when Tony Romo comes back in a couple of weeks, he should get his job back even with Dak playing well in his National Football League debut. Why? But I think – the overriding thought I had, especially after watching their offense, was that, you know, to me, I think that if you’re gonna play Dak Prescott, you’ve got to open it up a little more than they did, and I think you’ve got to let him throw the ball downfield a little more than they did. Time simply ran out on the Cowboys. Despite having three timeouts, McAdoo didn’t stop the clock until the Giants were faced with third-and-3 at the Dallas 9 with 13 seconds remaining. It’s reason for encouragement, and while the Cowboys lost, it certainly wasn’t the fault of Prescott – indeed, were it not for a truly bone-headed decision from Terrance Williams that ended the game, the Cowboys might have even won.
So instead of drastic solutions, like hanging tacky curtains in Jerry’s billion dollar palace, the only thing that the players and fans can really do is… You want me to keep going?
“I was excited for him”, Manning said. The Washington Redskins are going to be waiting for us at their place at 1 o’clock Eastern Time on Sunday.
“I was trying to make the first guy miss, and then just dive out of bounds, but it didn’t go as planned”.
Beasley and tight end Jason Witten were targeted on 26 of Prescott’s passing attempts, and running backs and a backup tight end were targeted on five more passes.
In the Giants’ heartbreaking 27-26 loss here last season, Rashad Jennings and the offensive line failed to put the game away in the closing minutes, in part because Manning told Jennings not to score.
On a day when America mourned the almost 3,000 lives lost during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, it seems only fitting that Cruz would score the game-winning touchdown in his return that so few thought was possible.
We’ve got a lot of work to get done, got a lot to work on.

I was hoping for a better day, for sure. He had good communication in the huddle, good execution. No matter who made the play a Cowboy or Giant the crowd was loud.
