no he wasn't and its 4 qtr game he got it done when it counted to get us into OT..the defense should be your focus but your troll hate nature cant see that..

so shut that noise own its obviously your hate reaction..
I love how you overlook his crapping the bed in OT by missing a wide open receiver. Those are throws that differentiate a clutch QB that is being paid primo dollars.

Yes he was


You must have been watching a different game. Dak had 200 out of his 372 in the 4th quarter. So please explain to me, how did he show up for all 4 quarters?
does it matter when they come shut up already.,..they got the scored toed and went into ot..move on trollface

Because we shouldn’t base all of our thoughts on the last 2 or 3 games anymore than the first few games. A 17 game season is a Marathon.

I’ll be more interested in how we’re playing and our standings in late December and early January. And if we’re healthy. This isn’t the same team with multiple Star talents out.

This team was over hyped from the beginning. We continue to struggle against average to above average teams. The best 2 teams we beat were 6-4 LA and 7-4 NE which both came down to last kick.

We are marginally better than average. Have been from the beginning.
We’re 7-4, despite the over abundance of penalties, several of which WERE ridiculous, which PROVES we’re quite a bit better than average. But that plays against the agenda that we’re doomed to fail (mostly because of Jerry’s GM machinations). Two things in your favor: 1)No one can PROVE for a fact that refs are influencing outcomes, and 2)If the Cowboys lose the SB by one point on the last play, people can claim validation of their season of doubt—“See, I told you they would lose!”

Stop Box Score watching

Dak and the offense were MIA for 3Qs of the game. They finally went more uptempo when he didnt have to think as much, and finally started moving the ball.

He didnt get them in the EZ on that last drive of regulation (would of won us the game)

He went 3 and out on the first drive of OT and threw a horrific pass to Noah Brown.

The Cowboys need more from a player making $40m a year
I agree with everything you're saying here. However. They arent in the position of OT without him and his dimes to Gallup down the sideline. He played AWFUL for the first half. Honestly I think that "fumble" that got overturned thru the whole team for a loop. My biggest gripe was the throw to Shultz that wasnt called a DPI when Brown was being called for much less. Shultz would have walked in for the game winning TD on that throw. It is what it is. I think I am honestly going to take a break from the board until the season is over because this place stresses me out lol. Also have a lot of stuff going on at home so maybe the break is needed.

You need to understand something, Dak is the version -1.0 of Tony Romo, Tony Romo was better because he generated plays, Dak was not. Much of this was discussed before the overpaid hiring of Dak, it is clear that he is not a franchise QB, or elite, in the game against Kansas City, leaving aside the defensive pressure, Dak had critical passes that were poorly executed by the , and in this game he also had them, despite A. brown's fouls, the game could have won, but because of Dak's poor execution it was not possible; A bad hiring for that amount of money, if it had been less (half) it would be understood, but if they are paying you 40M a year, you have to respond in those critical situations, without excuses, Aaron Rodgers does it, Bradry does it, They are elites, 126M guaranteed by a QB like that? a real crap. This situation will lead us to the new version of Tony Romo, which will take several years to start over, and to be able to get rid of Dak, Dak is not going to take the cowboys to the SB, it is a waste of time and money; Players like Micah Parsons, they deserve that kind of salary, he is a true elite player, the only chance to get rid of Dak is in 2023, it can be cut after June 1, and be able to save a lot of money, but of course there will be Dead money for the rest of the contract, but with that money saved, they could have the possibility of investing in good players and the cowboys need to start looking for another QB in the draft, Dak is a waste of time and money, he is a mirage, this team is a mirage,

In the end much like handicapping and predicting individual games those with keener insight and instincts do need to be recognized if things turn out closer to what they imagined than others.

I’ve said from the beginning this was a playoff caliber team and with our offense healthy and an improved defense we could be a tough out in the playoffs . The only thing that changes for me during our 6-1 run was the turnover differential which I added that if our defense hovering around average could continue creating turnovers we could emerge to be more of a conference threat with our offense.

Nothing has changed in my predictions which aren’t a doomed thought. They are much more grounded than those who got caught up in all of the SB hype and hysteria . A more of a wait and see mentality to see how the season developed which all look much wiser at this point .

Injuries are obviously playing a key role as well. And we haven’t beat 2 of the Elite teams on our schedule in Tampa or KC. Thus far two 2 teams I mentioned are only teams above .500 currently we have beaten . So we are more of an average to above average team at this point. That’s a very honest , realistic and humbling portrait.

Yes it matters dummy


You cant stink it up for 3 quarters, then light it up once we are already down multiple scores and then not even make critical plays to win us the game. Especially if you want to be seen as “elite”

172 Yards in 3 quarters isn't necessarily and lol. Especially with all the drops he had.

stinking up?? idiotic statements and blind and must have memory loss, ok..im ignoring you after this reply...

they scored 2 tds in the first half one each qtr, that would equate to 28 point for a full game and that should be enough to win if you have a defense also scored 14 in then 4th which is the 28 i spoke about, should be enough to win a game..hes playing with weak defense inconsistent at times and the run game has disappeared the last 4 games. Yet 14 points should be plenty in the first half , they had rough 3rd QTR abut made up for it with a great 4th.. so they actually had scores in 3 of 4 qtrs. for 28 points and add the pollard KO td.=33 points

this is a team game the team scored 33 should easily have been plenty to win the game..

thats disappearing?? how ignorant are you? two scores in the first half and 1td, 2 fgs, and 2points conv for 14 in the 2nd its called a game, its how you score for 60mins not each qtr..dumbazz chit right there..its about total points at the end

Stupid 5th WR can't bail out the highest paid QB in the universe.
Not that stupid 5th WR can't make a play, that's why he is 5th and getting paid minimum.... Can't expect much more from him. He is what he is at this point of his career. A great special teams player

Why are u so bothered by this? There were people here who thought we can cut cooper and lose.gallup and use brown instead....

Again. Not defending the throw. It should have been perfect. It wasn't perfect. Brown needs perfect. Even then he drops a few....it's ok. We had what we had and the job didn't get done

@ESisback

I just wanted to add that If this team even makes to the championship game our dysfunctional ownership definitely would deserve some accolades.

Im not in the “ never “ crowd that we won’t see a SB again. It’s just more difficult with the type of Mgmt and how this organization is ran.

I’ve also maintained much like with Switzer that if we did amass enough talent it could be enough to over come our challenges and obstacles our dysfunctional ownership presents.

And maybe like with Bill we might finally have brought in the right coaching which Jethro so he’ll deserve credit for as well.

I understand you get frustrated with my message but it’s much more in the middle than you often want to present. Results matter to me. And when they come in I will lead the cheer. But not before then. That’s a major difference with my approach. Thanks and happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.

Yes, although it’s also honest to say we lost to last year’s champ in their house because of a chip shot FG miss by a still injured kicker. We also beat the Pats and the Chargers—two very good teams, not to mention wins over Carolina (who at the time had the #1 D) and Philly (who the pundits are now fussing over).

I still believe once we’ve got all our starters back, we’re one of the top 3 or 4 teams in the league.

You’re certainly entitled to believe that but until we are beating some of the current top 3 or 4 teams I need the results to quantify. At the end of the season LA and NE could fit that description but not currently or even at the time we beat them . And why results matter to me.

We had a 3rd place schedule this year so we don’t have the opportunity to play all of the top teams at least in NFC. Tampa and AZ look like only ones.

And I’d agree when we have all of our starters we are a solid 4th seed . But when we don’t we are an average to above average team.

What other division in NFC would we be picked to win?

Actually, the NFCE can’t currently be called the “NFC Least”, as 2 other divisions have a worse collective record.

But yeah, no one has faith in the Cowboys except for the group of loyal homers. The “realists” could NEVER survive as Lion or Jet fans!

I don’t understand the faith concept without proven results . Why would we have faith in this team this era winning something they haven’t yet.

And I’ve been a fan of my Alma Mater for as long as the Cowboys and we have been a Dormant, average to above average at best team most years . The first time we win a conference championship in 50 years , we called it “ Miracle on the Brazos”.

I know all about being a diehard for crappy teams . It’s a completely different mindset. You expect to lose hoping you win . I’ve been to several of these Dormant NFL cities like in Detroit and in NO when they wore bags over their heads. Great diehard fans . But they knew who they were. Lol

We were a very special franchise 25-50 years ago and we believed because we had been there before. Now all we have is Hope.

If you don’t have faith, what have you got? Nothing’s guaranteed, except death and taxes. Hope is a good thing, and all the other cliches, yada yada yada!

I’m not sure how faith with complete trust or confidence applies to sports. I have faith in those close to me I depend on but not my favorite sports team. I agree with the rest.
