PART of team play. PART of the offense to be exact.

You are getting there slowly.

Get where? This isn't the team you think it is. If you want to jaw on the Jones family jewels, go for it. For those is us that have been down this road before,, it's familiar. Putting up numbers without the win means NOTHING. Other teams win "next man up", why do people like you make so many excuses?

Well thats a trick answer.

Its the team I THINK it is because its injury riddled. So I dont think this team is anything special.

It was and it will be when we get all our studs back healthy.

YOU on the other hand think this is the team that went 6-1. Its clearly not. Big time players missing. And actually more.

Entire starting Dline missing the last 3 games. 3 out of 4 missing for almost all the season.

Lawrence, Gallimore, Urban, Gregory.

I just dont think you are much informed. More of an emotional layman to be honest.

This was a very entertaining game. Were you not entertained ?

Fans often forget it’s not all about winning . This is sports entertainment at the highest level.

Our dysfunctional owner has even stated priority is being “ interesting and relative “. This is who we are.

And those aren’t just excuses they are reasonable explanations. Injuries play a major role. Putting up big numbers without a win means those players with high productions aren’t the sole cause of losing.

I’d really like to know what a lot of your standards are because people are actually accepting of his performance today and using his stats as a shield to defend his trash play.

You understand he is a 40 million dollar player right?

Was he gutsy at the end? Sure.. But he was mediocre and not accurate all game.

He gets paid too much to just sit around and wait for everyone else to make a play.

Also, I feel validated for my opinion about Carr and Dak being basically the same player.

It's like de ja Vu all over again.

Yeah I’m not going to get in big arguments anymore about Dak.

Ive seen him play a level of football I didn’t think he was capable of.

What I’ve seen the last 4 games is the Dak I have always seen prior to this season.

We aren't doing anything if his level of play doesn’t improve. He’s back to being a mediocre player. A Derek Carr.

Well, you are wrong. I am fully aware of who is injured, who is available, and what the team has been facing all year. At the end of the day no one gives a ++++ who was in out, just whether we win. We had plenty of opportunity to win all the games we lost. We've been getting turnovers and actually playing good D but the offense just can't get it done.

Guess you conveniently forgot how bad Denver kicked out butts and we were fully stocked on offense.

Only a layman doesnt factor in injuries. Hasnt it been obvious the difference?

The Denver game was the game that Dak had just come back after not practicing for 3 weeks. He was the definition of rusty.

Tyron Smith was out that game. That was the game the Oline began to fall apart.

I expect more. He's missing guys and not really utilizing his legs all that much. I think the play calling is a little suspect as well. Teams want to be able to stack the box, and Dallas invites them to by running from all these large formations. I'd like to see some more spread formations for running plays.

Quit trying to insult me. Only a layman doesn't understand that injuries are part of the game. Great teams overcome, the rest make excuses. If Dak wasn't ready, maybe he should have put on a headset. I live in Denver and they suck. They beat us so bad it is embarrassing. You make excuses, I see reality.

This team was over hyped at 6-1. We’ve ran into a rough patch with injuries and tougher opponents. We’ll see how we weather the storm .

But I don’t feel any different about this team . We are who I thought we were. If we have everyone back healthy we’ll be a tough out. Beyond that I have no expectations.

All great teams don’t overcome multiple key injuries. And who said this was a great team to begin. Totally over hyped. We are who we are. If we get most all of our key people back we’ll be a tough out.

I put him below Carr quit disrespecting him. he played with a lesser team and played better and got the win

I believed big time after the Pats game. But he’s sucked ever since. Don’t know anymore I feel like he needs everything around him to be perfect. And that’s not an elite QB.
I’m sure it doesn’t have anything to do with his injury and those around him since Pats game. He just decided to start suking. Lol

So you agree you are a layman?

Nope great teams fall because of injuries all the time.

The reality is that Dak just threw for 375 yards, 2 TD's no picks and a 106 QB rating.

Thats the reality you face.

Duh.....................but the Denver game. LOL

You are reaching and struggling now.

Exactly..

Tampa Bay Dak I think was the best I’ve ever seen him play and I was excited because of that game.

Now I just feel like the old Cowboys are back and our 50/50 brand of football and slightly above average QB have all come back.
