Does this count for Dak?

they didn’t though.

And like I said, I'm not going to diss Dak for this game. He did a lot in the second half, but in all honesty we should've lost this game. How often is it the other team that does something stupid on the magnitude of leon let touching the ball against the dolphins. Usually, it is our team that does boneheaded plays that cost us the game. This time it was Atlanta. I take it for what it is: a gift.

I'm not going to blame Dak any this week, but if Atlanta would have jumped on the onside kick like they were supposed to, then Dak would've gotten blame along with the rest of the cowboys for losing the game. I'm a realist, not an apologist. Atlanta bailed out Dak, Zeke, The offensive line, the defense, the whole team from being blamed. You can pretend otherwise.

So that means your giving Dak credit for playing his tail off today then right? If and but and blah blah blah. He got the job done. There is no asterisk.

From what I saw... missed first 3 quarters, just now looking back at it... Looked like he had a very good game.
There are a lot of games left... let us see what happens...

Gallup looked like Dez on that catch... I loved that.

I've been saying it since last year. Gallup is Dez like with the ball in the air.

So does Dak get credit here? Just asking.....

I dont think Atlant will have winning record by end of season so it doesn't get him off the 20 months without beating winning team but I thought Cowboys played well late. Seattle would be real test.

Dak gets all the credit. No offensive tackles. Pathetic defensive showing. Bad play calling. Imagine the anti Dak threads if we lost. I bet before the on side kick recovery the anti Dak trolls were ready to press send. Would love to see what the trolls wrote. Can’t wait to hear the morning talk show trolls tomorrow morning. Cowherd and the gang.

I can't wait to here Stephen A Smith, Skip and of course Michael Irvin lol.

Of course he gets credit. Heck of a performance down the stretch. I was most impressed by the fact that our offense didn't tank even with the absence of our starting tackles.

Again I will point out if he and the offense don’t put us in a hole early then maybe we don’t need a miracle win.

Seattle next week. Don’t give me a 15-30 lethargic performance. I want to see him play well vs an elite defense

For the second half He played good. I don't blame anyone for a win. I'm just being real and giving credit where credit is due, we won because Atlanta had a Leon Lett Fail moment. Are you saying that Dak wouldn't have been blamed if Atlanta did what they were supposed to. Be Real.

this was mostly all Dak. Granted the first fumble was not his best moment, but not every qb can make this kinda comeback.

I think my biggest criticism of Dak is that our offense too frequently stalls out for long stretches of games. It happens against good teams, bad teams and everything in between. This is supposed to be an offense that turns up the heat on the opposition, and that's what I demand to see if we're going to pay the QB big bucks.

To be fair, most of today's miscues didn't come from Dak. He had the fumble where he was trying to to be cute and get a last-second pass off, but otherwise the issues were fumbles, terrible coaching decisions, and as expected-suspect defense.

Don't forget that Andy Dalton came in for that one play which willed the team to victory. Had it not been for that one handoff we would never have had this incredible comeback.

It was actually an incomplete pass by Dalton, but it set the tone for the comeback.

He for sure gets credit. He had a heck of a game. I don’t think many people argue that he doesn’t have great games. Dak is my QB and I will root for him week in and week out. When he has his next ineffective game I will criticize him for that too. Nothing much changes from a perception standpoint. Just happy to go into this week with the Dak I can be proud of.

For sure. Imagine if the dude had a defense that could get stops; however, I think he excels in these shoot out type of games.

I'd like to see what anti-Dak fans say now? 450 yards. No interception's. One fumble trying to do to much. One or was it 2 rush TDs. In a game when he really didn't get going until the 2nd quarter. That has to get better is the only bad thing I can say about his game today.
