Um....I mentioned them. In reality our only win against a good team.
Coming into this week Washington was on a 4 game win streak and many of our own "fans" were saying we were going to lose. Washington also beat the Bucs. We beat a good football team, on the road, in our division. I dont care how. We won. Enough with this we havent beaten good teams. Aaron Rodgers has been beating up on bad teams all season minus 2 games, same with Brady, and Kyler. You play who is in front of you. Thats it.

Yeah, that’s not what happened. You’re trying to shoehorn a generality and make apply here. Schultz stopped when Dak stopped to create a throwing window.

Beyond ANY OF THAT, Dak is not obligated to make a poor throw. He also isn’t required to make a careless throw without understanding the positioning of the defenders on the field.


Greg Olsen himself said that Shultz should have kept running. I guess you know more than him as well?

Y'all agree with this? I hope it's true.

Not impossible by any stretch. Zona are on our schedule so beating them is a big swing. They still have LAR tonight (can the Rams step up?) and Indy, who can certainly surprise. They lose either of those and we win out we'd jump them.

Green Bay have B-more and the Browns the next two weeks, my guess is they'd have to lose one of those for us to have a chance cause Minny & Detroit should be easy wins for them.

But Tampa have an extremely easy schedule to finish the year, so it could all be for naught. I just hope we return to form on offense and roll into the post season all guns blazibg in all three phases.

Yes, it's funny how Romo is held with such high praise and that some feel Dak couldn't compete with him. Meanwhile Romo had plenty of 3 INT games during his career and there was a narrative for a long time once the calendar turned into December Romo couldn't get it done which many forget. Meanwhile Dak has had 1 3 int career game. Not saying Dak is better, just that Romo put up his share of stinker games and off stretches.
We tend to romanticize the past. Honestly if it wasn’t for his success as a broadcaster I think there’s still a tinge of Romo-negativity left. Once he became America’s lovable play-predicting commentator the nation softened up on him. Man did he used to get bashed back in the day.

Had many middle school/high school arguments defending him :laugh:

Dak was awful today but I also remember when Romo threw for 6 ints against Buffalo and they still won. Hopefully Dak will get it right.
Brady threw 3 picks in last year's NFCCG and won. Just sayin.

Yes, but he is human. He really has only had 3 really bad starts in the last 6. The other 3 were just not up to standard. I don’t know why it would happen either, but I think he has proven to be a good QB over the last 5 years and I have to assume the last 6 have been nothing but outliers, not the truth. Of course, maybe this is indicative of something more but for the sake of our franchise I hope not.
If we don't get our running game going, this type of play will continue from Dak. Teams do not respect our passing game if we do not have a running game. Stack the box and they want Dak to prove to them that he can beat them. So far its not worked.

Those individuals always expect defeat, and when Dallas wins, the other team was not good. You cannot argue with those who have loser mentalities.

The running game was reasonable yesterday. I believe it goes deeper than that.

Another explanation is it's Dak Prescott.
I have one foot being dragged through the ballast of the Dak Express and I’m just about to jump off.

That W was really an L. Another 5 mins and we blow that because of Dak’s disgusting play. He had a 9.9 QBR yesterday. Just let that sink in.

Really bad route by Shultz there. Dak can't throw that pick but Shultz was bad. He saw Dak settle and he settled which allowed the backer to undercut it. He should have kept moving towards the sideline and/or Dak should have thrown it where he should have been and made him go get it.. bad play by both players at a really bad time.
