Before you blame Dak

[bigE79]

Huh? Watch the last two series of the game again. Dak did not "fumble the game away"

He most certainly did,if he doesn't fumble on that drive,there's a decent chance we get points,and if we did..do we lose the game? Mind you the final score was 25-22

I'm thinking I may never see another Super Bowl win for the Cowboys in my lifetime.

So to summarize

Dak needs EVERYTHING TO GO PERFECT

Dak can't over come adversity

Dak lost this game for us. Easy completions out there. And Zeke is garbage as is the oline.

 

[GINeric]

I agree. He is overrated

Well Hall of Famer former players, coaches and gms have stated differently. So why should I believe cowards like you over HOF'ers and my own eyes??

 

[pitt33]

Yes, I remember that.

Yep

‘94 title game against the niners when he hit Harper on that slant.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

A bullcrap statistic that is bolstered by 6 games played against division opponents that are weak.

It is still pretty unbelievable for a team to look so bad on offense yet lead the league in both major offensive statistical categories.

If if if...

I'm talking about what actually happened.

He fumbled.
Cards kicked FG.
Dak drove team to score TD and 2pt. conv.
Refs missed forced fumble by Dallas D.
Game Over.

Did I miss anything? Yet somehow Dak's fumble ended the game.

 

[charron]

Somewhere in this, you failed to mention OL.

They failed to carry Dak. My bad.

 

[boysfanperiod]

Wow, such a long time ago. RIP coach. Yes, I loved his way of explaining things. His booms and drawing on the screen.

Dak doesn't fumble,we don't give up 3 points which would mean we would go to overtime since the score would be 22-22..but since he did,we lost.

Good post except one thing. Establish the run game? KM gave up on this years ago. We put up 56 points last week, and our top 2 RBs only ran the ball 17 times. Dak throw the ball almost 40 times in a blow out. The fans want the team to run more (or more precisely Pollard to run more) but KM clearly only cares about the passing game.

Can't build an exciting resume on a bruising ground game. Hoping he leaves after this season. McCarthy can bring in his own guy. This thing went horribly wrong as soon as somebody decided that Prescott (and not the running game) was going to be featured. I don't believe that Dallas can't run. I believe that they won't run.

 

[star-ving]

I contend that the receivers dropping passes was the effect of a terrible QB being outta sync and not throwing in a fluid rhythm The team is conducting a symphony and Dak is two beats off. The passes that were on target looked jarring. Dak has no touch.

Like the 10 yard rocket he fired at Pollard across the middle. Why throwing that hard necessary?? Pollard was open. Too hard.

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Ok and if Greg the leg didnt miss a fg. we would have won. So by your logic, the blame is on him... not Dak.

 

[Slick]

Bingo. He's a bus driver. He just doesn't know he is a bus driver.

Except he’s paid like a formula one driver, to deliver.

 

[Ren]

He missed Cooper by like 10 feet over his head wide open on a 5 yard route, not sure how Dak is not a problem, is he the only problem? Nope but your 200 mill QB shouldn’t be part of the problem at all

 

[Redline360]

This is who Dak is. An above average quarterback that will never be elite. He does not have the tools or the ability to put the team on his shoulders or make players look good. He's surronded by one of the most stacked offenses in football and Dallas history in the cap era and is still not considered elite by anyone with brains. Been saying it for awhile. He's just to streaky

Now with that being said damn near 3/4 of the league would take an above average quarterback. Dak is still good enough to win a superbowl however we have some serious issues to work out before the playoffs. Play calling should be number one issue

When’s the last time you had your eye exam?

His fumble was costly which gifted the Cardinals 3 points and turned it back into a 2 possession game. So technically we can say Dak cost us the game, amongst all these events.

1) Dak's fumble (The only turnover that came at a critical time)
2) Greg's missed field goal (We may still have lost on that final Cardinals drive, but today they were the tying points)
3) Poor fake Punt coverage (Big momentum shift and terrible execution from Wright)
4) Questionable officiating (We couldn't find rhythm on offense and a big reason were drive killing holding calls that took good plays off the board. Then you had a questionable PI call gifting Arizona a 1st down, then the missed fumbled at the end of the game)
5) Playcalling (It really feels like Moore has a hit a wall with playcalling against solid defenses. We run the same stuff over and over and fail to establish a consistent running game. I wouldn't mind if Moore left to see what a new coordinator brings.)
6) Inconsistent throws (The Cardinals defense lined up a lot of guys near the line and made Dak very uncomfortable with those looks. Every QB has throws that get away, but Dak was off target on quite a few throws and really didn't push the ball down the field. Lot of underneath dink and dunk stuff. I think some of this is a result of #5 and why Cowboys receivers aren't getting as much separation as they should.

 

[Cmac]

No, you got it wrong......they failed to block today. That's all. The OL is not that good with such. And it's not a new problem......been that way all year. Can't understand the mystery behind this.

So does that mean HOF'ers who know the game ten times better than you need their eyes examined too???
