Dak was terrible and so was the defense. Parsons was the only one who showed up defensively. We couldn’t stop the run and Diggs looked like he did last season. We couldn’t tackle. Our defense reverted back to looking like the Keystone cops of last season. It was a troubling performance all around against a 500 team.

Disagree.

I''m not a Dak complainer. However, when a player insists on top money and holds out to get it, then he needs to deserve it.

They just don’t want to believe that it’s been about the money and the cap implications. Just a couple seasons ago Dakota finished the season ranked 18th in QBR so he was not playing at this elite level they claimed he was

Fast forward to this season and he’s played at a high level but games like this should give pause to the contract size and his ability to uplift the offense in games like this......we all want to see him achieve regardless of what his contract is

Lol!!!! Dak dropped those three first down passes and missed all those tackles!! He didn't play well, but get the hell outta here with that crap
Yeah, while I agree with that. He over threw 2 TD passes at least. He was lost. Looked like 2017 after the chaz game.. Something is wrong. Should have been running this between the tackles all day. 5 yards a clip but they kept trying to pass it.

No matter the arguments, 0 pts thru 3 quarters. Dak, if you want 40 million/year, then that is absolutely not acceptable. Stop w/ the excuses.



Terrence Steele is not an NFL LT and Collins was marginally better on the right . Philbin and MM need to go to plan B like possibly Nsheke at LT and either 78 or 71 on the right the alternate swing tackle.

And I could swear I saw a number of drops , the receiver has to do the job too . Team sport .

If Dak gets most of the credit for all of the wins and#1 offense then he must accept his due responsibility for the losses when an egg is laid offensively.
If you listen to fans who give all the credit for a win or loss then you're detached from reality.

Dak has a history of playing poorly until the 4th quarter over the last few years. It is no secret and has been the subject of a lot of threads over the last couple of years. Did you really think paying him $40 million a year was going to change that? There is no need to act surprised at this point. The truth of the matter is that a lot of Dallas fans got a Dak reality check today. He was never a Tom Brady , Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers. After this game , is it okay to say that Dak’s injuries are a problem?

The whole team looked tired and thought all they had to do was show up. Denver made them pay. This beat down was overdue. It keeps players in check. Dak missed some throws badly but there were some bad drops. Defense couldn't stop the run. Ughhh what am ugly game. Just move on and hope they don't look line thus next week or they have some real problems.
It was a letdown after that big night game against Minn. Team had to get amped up to win that game with Rush. Felt like they would manhandle the Broncs with Dak back if they could beat Minn on the road. They got punched in the mouth by a team with something to prove after a week of listening to how badly they'd get beat. Classic letdown game. 9.5 point favorites? My god...

Surely. But to mention what he's getting paid after the team is 6-1 and his name was in the MVP conversation beforehand is a little off-center, isn't it? It's not like we were 3-4 coming in fighting to stay in the playoff picture.

I’m not sure you’re grasping the point .

Me ranking our problems today.

1. McCarthy crushed us with decisions early.

2. Dak not be accurate at all with the football.

3. Putting Steele at Left Tackle turned out awful. That should’ve been La’el.

4. Drops.

5. Diggs awful in coverage. (Is he healthy?)
Gotta wonder if he sustained an injury in that last game at Minny.

Gets the praise when things are clicking. Gets the blame when they're not. The team was bad today. He had a big part in it as the guy who handles every snap on offense. I'm sure he'll bounce back next week and play great but this was a terrible performance from him. There's no other rational way of looking at it.
That's dumb. Dak wasn't the one dropping passes that would have been converted to 1st downs and kept drives alive. Dak is not the ones who sucked at blocking well both in the run and pass. Dak is not the one who failed to make tackles or stop Denver's offense both against the run and pass.

Was Dak part of the problem? Yes, but the whole team and coaching staff contributed to this embarrassing performance of a loss.

Dallas was destroyed on both lines of scrimmage. Cooper dropped an easy pass for first down. Diggs was trash. Dak was as well. The point is a lot of players were today not just Dak. But I will say that yes, the money Dak is making he can’t have too many more games like this. Every QB has a bad game.
