The Dallas Cowboys owe their fans and the Monday Night Football audience an apology for the way their offense played against the Giants.
NFL Twitter definitely doesnāt follow the old advice that āif you canāt say anything nice, donāt say anything at all.ā
We know that because Twitter had only mean things to say about the Cowboysā offensive performance against the Giants on Monday Night Football.
None of it was particularly unfair either. Dallas didnāt manage to score a touchdown until the final seconds of the third quarter. They dropped passes, missed field goals and generally looked a mess.
NFL Twitter wants brain bleach after being exposed to woeful Cowboys offense
Mind you, the Giantsā defense was playing without defensive lineman Leonard Williams because of an MCL sprain. They still made life miserable for Rush and the Cowboysā offense.
The Cowboys are still playing without Dak Prescott, whose injury in the season opener was definitely a setback for the offense. However, Prescott and company scored just three points against the Buccaneers and itās clear that just getting the starting quarterback back wonāt solve all the problems.
Dallas is certainly under fire for their decision to trade Amari Cooper to the Browns. While the receiver is thriving in Cleveland, the Cowboys look like they could use a reliable receiver like him. Instead, theyāre having to rely on pass catchers who havenāt done a great job of stepping up to the plate so far.
At least the rushing attack looked effective. Ezekiel Elliott scored at the goal line while Tony Pollard broke loose for a 46-yard run. However, a capable run game only works if youāre willing to ride it.
