DC talking heads on Cowboy's website seemed to be calling out Dak

[Swagger]

Yea but we saw the game. Clearly these drops were catchable passes.

My point relates generally to dropped catches. I'm not a fan of it being used as a definitive stat for one QB against another unless people go through every single throw/dropped catch for every single supposed dropped catch for every QB (which I don't have time to do). Otherwise it's not 100% clear and irrefutable.

Alright guys, time to go to work so I will see yall later.

Beast out.

Moss and Johnson say with out a doubt it was OPI I will go with them. You have to stop the homer view on everything. I bet that hit to the head no call on Goff was correct too. All the excuses, when when will they end.

The coaching excuses will end when the coaching actually contributes to winning. The defensive excuses will end when the defense actually contributes to winning.

When is this team going to have a legitimate defense? That is the real question you should be asking.

Now if your opinion is that we only have a shot to win it with this horrid defense if we have a QB like Mahomes then I agree with you.

 

[Brax]

In games like Sunday night, where the offense or Cowboys didnt get it done in the end, I tell myself I am not going to defend Prescott this week. I think he had a solid game, but at some point we need to win these games regardless.

Then the morons come on and that all goes out the window.

The offense tied the game and would have won the game, but MM and the refs took it away from them.

In close games these are the type of things that matter. We got out coached on both sides of the ball again. The defense was terrible. Those are the bigger issues yesterday.

MM you may be right the refs didn't do anything but call a legit OPI on Gallop. On Dak he did have a solid game , great 2nd quarter but didn't get it done again as you say he needs to get it done. We just have to see what happens the rest of the season. As for the D they gave up just 20 points. My fear is MM may be a JG just a little bigger one.

Flip side to that coin is the "interception" that Goff threw should have been a penalty against us. We were 6 points down at that point with 3 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter. That would have taken them up to around midfield with every chance for at least 3 points. So the rest of the game would have likely played out very differently. We can't just raise one questionable call when another which was even clearer and irrefutable should have gone against us at another big moment.

Dak had at least two hits to his helmet that were uncalled. Those would have helped sustain drives as well.

 

[shabazz]

I see this season is picking up exactly where last season left off

This tremendous leader folds in yet another loss and his fanatics put out the same lame excuses.

No matter how many games the anointed one fails to score even a single touchdown in an entire half and goes AWOL, all will be blamed on coaches and other players.

Coaches have changed but the mediocre quarterback is still the common denominator and the game looked exactly like last year. Vanilla, soul-less, uninspiring, and putting no fear in any defense

The D gave up 20 points, the high power offense only put up 17, the D did thier job, can they be better yes but stop with the excuses.

The coaches changed but the playcalling is the same. Doesn't matter who is driving if you don't change directions.

I understand that but we are talking about this game I thought.

MM you may be right the refs didn't do anything but call a legit OPI on Gallop. On Dak he did have a solid game , great 2nd quarter but didn't get it done again as you say he needs to get it done.

Cmon, if that was legit PI then every play is offensive PI. Ramsey was hold him back and they were hand checking and Gallop had get his arm off like they always do. That happens on just about every play in the game. NO way you make that call. And you could see Ramsey flop. Looked like Marcus Smart out there.

That game plan yesterday was a scared game plan that focused on establishing the run. Thats what we had under Garrett. If that going to be the MO then hiring MM was a waste.

 

[Trendnet]

Well he did drive us down the field at the end of the first half, did he not?

He would have driven us down the field at the end of the second half if Gallup had kept his hands to himself, would he not have?

And if Dak had led them to a touchdown they would have won the game!

And if I had guessed the correct lottery numbers I would have won the lottery!

And if I had not taken an arrow to the knee I'd be an adventurer!

And if....

And if....

And if....

 

[cej757]

I'm starting to think Dak is telling the offensive coordinators that his favorite route to throw is the comeback route because that's all I see routinely . Only 1 shot taken down field all game. Way too conservative offense last night.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Jesse Holly said , "If you want to get paid like Rogers, Mahomes, Wilson, Brees, ect....then you need to be spectacular on Sundays, not just "well he played ok". Holly said that when there is 45 seconds left on the clock and Rogers gets the ball down 4, the other team is terrified. There is a "belief he will get it done as opposed to a hope he will get it done". You do not have that with Dak.

Nick Eatman basically said Dak is not clutch, he doesnt bring the team back to win games and the stats prove it. In the Cowboys last 8 games decided by one score, the Cowboys are 1-7. Dak getting the ball back with a minuet or two and driving the team down the field for the winning score does not happen and he said he was actually getting concerned about it.

Spags, usually Mr. Sunshine, was surprisingly critical today as well. Mentioned the same 1-7 record and said they just cant win close games. He didnt really single out Dak specifically like the others, but you get what he was saying without actually saying it.

Now do I blame Dak for the loss? No, he played ok but he was not spectacular just like Holly said. Now like Eatman said, the stats do show that Dak does not win close games for whatever reason. Blame it on dropped passes, blame on poor protection, blame it on the refs with bad calls, blame it on whatever but the fact still remains the Cowboys have lost 7 of their last 8 games when the winning margin was within one score. Dak was the QB in all those games, so the question seems legit of "why cant he win close games, especially if you want to be one of the highest paid QBs in the league.

Did you watch the game? Obviously, you didn't or else you wouldn't be here spewing your lies and hatred for Dak!!!!

Everyone saw how the officials once again stole the game by wrongfully calling pass interference on Michael Gallup, even though Jalen Ramsey was arm-barring him the whole way down the field and even wrapping up his arm in order to prevent Gallup from getting past him. Gallup never fully extended his arm out or push off either. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. So enough with your false criticism and hatred on a false story. Enough with the lies!

 

[CouchCoach]

I wouldn't narrow that game down to one player when the D gives up 150 yards and 2 TDs. Plenty get to share in that.

However, any team that is going to make their QB a top 5 paid one better have one that shows up when the lights are the brightest. QB's that are in that rare air need to produce with the game on the line, that's what they're getting paid extra to do.

There seems to be a pattern at the end of games, in crunch time, with the DC's that have spotted something on film. It is standard to ratchet up the pressure on any QB but they call a lot of stunts and get bodies moving in front of him and try to get him on the run. DC's have their choice of weak spots on the OL for attack. Add to that, the TE is gone for the season.

One thing McC and Moore need to focus on, if they're not already doing it, is getting him on the move more and develop a moving pocket. Every DC will use that film, they don't all have a Donald so it won't be as effective but this OL is beyond suspect now. What was the strength of the team just a few years ago and the reason he had a great rookie season is now the weakness. Doesn't matter if they have a great WR corps if he can't get the ball to them.

 

[CowboyRoy]

The D gave up 20 points, the high power offense only put up 17, the D did thier job, can they be better yes but stop with the excuses.

Anyone that says the D did their job didn't watch the game. The D was terrible. Not even passable.

 

[CowboyRoy]

And if Dak had led them to a touchdown they would have won the game!

And if I had guessed the correct lottery numbers I would have won the lottery!

When you lose, thats what happens................the reasons why you lost get discussed. LOL

 

[WillieBeamen]

You should hear about it. Dak made the throw. He got the team into the red zone.

I don't care if it was OPI, by definition. You don't call that garbage. You know that, it just doesn't fit your position on Dak.

Shut up


It was OPI. Stop being a fan boy

Cmon, if that was legit PI then every play is offensive PI. Ramsey was hold him back and they were hand checking and Gallop had get his arm off like they always do.

Agree on MM, I had my doubts, but lets give it the rest of the season. I still find it funny you hire a O mind to upgrade the O but everything stays the same. I know many don't want to hear it but I believe MM is a Jerry yes man too. But lets see where this goes, he may surprise us.

 

[Future]

Shut up


It was OPI. Stop being a fan boy

A) It wasn't
B) You don't call it even if it was

If they called that as OPI every time it happened, nobody would ever score.

 

[Philmonroe]

I love Dak, I am in the pay Dak club but even I have to admit I don’t trust him to win one score games. I am terrified of Russ and Rodgers when they have the ball in those situations. Cowherd stated that if Dak was a better quarterback then the Rams would have went for it in 4th and 1. After rewatching the game I agree. Dak better win this year (NFC Tiltle Game)or the Cowboys might turn the page on him. Good news is that 9-7 will win the NFC East this year. I look at the Saints game, Vikings game, and Eagles games. Dak could have won those games but did not. The Rams game was there for the taking and we lose again. Dak cost us that game.

You love for off the field reasons and I don't roll like that. How are you in pay Dak club but don't even trust him to win one score games? Whaaaaat? Yeah you guys that like him for off the field reasons can have that. He's just not that good. He plays just good enough to have folks split on him but no better aka he's Alex Smith or Kirk Cousins.
