Was Dak the one dropping passes? Was Dak the one calling the terrible situational calls by going for it on 4th down inside the opponent's 20, instead of simply kicking the FG? Was it Dak's fault his Oline struggled to block Aaron Donald or give him time to find receivers running deep?
I don’t agree with the MM call but I think it was a combination of no faith in his defense and giving his QB a chance to go and take it. Call it a test if you want but it failed.

Thats a poor excuss. Let me get this straight Dak needs a top five OL, a top five RB, and a top five recieving core to be sucessful ? Sounds like he needs to take less money than 40 mill a yr so we can help him.
Tell you what, tell me what good qb in this league that wins and goes to the playoffs often, doesn't have a good OL, RB, and Receiving corp? Since we're only one game into the 2020 season, Dak only has one of those top five units that you named and that's at running back. He doesn't have a top five offensive line and we don't know that about his receiving unit yet. On paper, it looks good. Need t see more.

I'm not saying scoring 6 points in a half is acceptable, but I do think he played good enough to win under another statistical circumstance. Not saying he was the bees knees by any stretch, but the game came down to essentially 2 plays. Let's not jump to conclusions about a game that could've easily been won.

The loss is not only on Dak but at some point if he wants to be paid like a top 3 QB he needs to find a way to win these games and for the last couple of years he hasn't. He had the ball twice in the last 5 minutes down only 3

Looney at center, an undrafted rookie free agent at right tackle and Conner Williams against Donald is a bad match for Dallas. There should have been a lot of Zeke in the flat throws in the game plan and a couple of screens as well.

Sometimes it seems the gameplan isnt for the receivers to run more than 5 yards down field

This the the qb position people. When you lose you take the blame, when you win you get the credit. Eli manning is a hall of famer not cause of a regular season, because he won big games.

Anything less than a deep playoff run for this team is inexcusable. Forget stat piling against bad teams. I want wins, meaningful games. Especially from a guy that wants top 3 money.

Is is not unreasonable to expect more from this guy? Either he gets it done this year or we move on.

The defense gave up a whopping 20 points dude.
The defense was on the field for 36 minutes dude. They made the Rams punt for the first time inside five minutes left in the 3rd quarter. Which means they didn't give their offense many opportunities.

Really? Cause they got the offense an extra possession with an INT, means our offense had the ball one more time than the Rams offense did today

ok. That's just dumb though. Does Dak play defense? Did he have two critical drops that Schultz had?
So Dak needs a top defense, and a top TE in addition to his top highly rated o-line, a top RB and one of the best trio of receivers in the league? Now he needs a top TE too? Holy crap his need list is growing! Not many are saying Dak sucks...most are just saying he is not elite and needs to be paid like a QB to needs to leave enough cap space to get him the supporting cast he needs to have true success.

Elite QBs worth 40 mil a year elevate the players around them they dont need top players at every position but Dakstans blame everyone but Dak.

I dobut that is the gameplan. It's the circumstance. If you can't block the other team. You get the ball out quickly. If you have a rookie UDFA at tackle, you don't call long developing plays. Football is really a simple game sometimes and sometimes fans act like the offense is out there playing against air.

all you guys want them to go empty and pass 100% of the time.

You guys all get mad when they run the ball.

Well if you want to throw a lot then you are going to end up in long yardage situations requiring you to throw more...if you do not run enough you will allow the defense to pin their ears bak.

this all played out tonight and you guys are complaining. This is what everyone wants. They want passing passing passing.

So what's your other option. Would you have paid Deshaun Watson what he got? Is he significantly better than Dak? What about the Wentz deal? We can all agree that Dak is a better player.
