Y'all don't get it.

Sometimes you have to pass that many times when the game dictates it, especially if you fail to be able to run the football effectively against your opponent.

Our Oline was unable to open holes for Zeke and Tony because of having to go up against the #1 ranked front 7 defense (SB Champs as well), so the Cowboys had no choice but to use their WR weapons and pass the ball 50+ times. Guess what? The Cowboys almost won...and actually should have won if it wasn't for mistakes by several key players, so that proves this theory wrong.

Had the Cowboys forced the run just to please the critics, they still would not have rushed for anywhere near 100 yards and most likely lost by a lot more than 2 points.

What is the record when a QB passes 60 or more times in games?

Its amazing to me that this it what people see, not..."whats the NFL winning % when the team gets 30+ scored on them"....some people saw Anthony Brown in coverage and said "Damn Dak for throwing the ball and scoring a TD..look what it did, it brought Anthony Brown back on the field"

Yet, every time we get threads started about how many yards Dak threw for…

It doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things but too many of our fans care about the wrong things.

There is a diference between saying...Dak played a great game..it sucks we lost..opposed to Dak threw the ball 50 times thats why we lost.....No

The problem is and has been Dak has to throw the ball 50+ times lately because we can not stop anyone....I get some do not like certain posters or players but that is no excuse for being blind to what the problem this team is having really is...If you seriosuly think HC and QB are on the sidelines saying "lets pass some more those stats are cooking" then Reality left the building a while back....More likley they are looking at the defense saying "yeah...we need to score and keep it comming as they are not slowing down...

It's more likely they didn't lose because they passed 50+ times but they had to pass 50+ times because they were getting blown out.

58 is even a lot more than 50.

Fwiw, Kellen did not call 58 pass plays.
He called 46 (still a lot).
Dak checked out of 12 run plays.

To be fair, Tampa had the best run defense in the league last year, but only the 21st pass D.
Through the air is your best shot vs them, normally.

Im more upset we could not figure out how to move the front 7 sideline to sideline more as I think it could've helped in the redzone...again I completely agree with not forcing runs into the middle as we were at a severe disadvantage....butI dont feel like we attacked the edges right in that game to give ourselves any threat down in the redzone. my opinion of course.

It’s not ideal of course and won’t happen most weeks but if we passed 25 times we lose by 20 plus points last week. Each week is different. Not sure why that is tough to grasp.
