Finally got to watch this game and this game was not on Dak

[SteveTheCowboy]

So its daks fault there were 4 3rd down penalties on offense and 5 batted balls and the team rushed for 2 yards a carry

I've never played NFL QB....but can't Dak be more aware of that technique and do some evasion/ fakes/lofting?
{shrug}....seems like he just kept throwing it at them.

 

[DenCWBY]

LOL, tipped or broken up passes can still be bad passes.

For example, Budda Baker dropped a clear pick 6. That was not a great pass. There was also the bad pass to Schultz that Aikman pointed out. Schultz ran like a 5 yard out, was wide open and Dak threw it high and inside him. How was that not a bad pass?

I did think the same. He could see the defenders were just waiting for him to throw and time their jump to bat down his pass. Some other quarterbacks stare them down as well so it isn't just Dak but surely there's a better solution than just risking an interception and a likely batted pass!

 

[Hook'em#11]

Dak is in his own head. He just isn't right. It's been a huge slump that hasn't gone away. Is he the guy? For this year, he has to be. Probably next year too. The owners are gonna think they are close, with the defense being better than last season, so, they aren't going to wave the white towel on Dak just yet. But, yesterday's game plan should've been attack the secondary. I am not sure if it was play calling (never liked Moore, still don't), execution, or what. I'm not on the sideline or in the huddle. But, this offense is bad. Defense didn't help much either yesterday, but, they sure were on the field a long time. I don't see this team doing much in the playoffs. Such a bummer too. But, now, it'll be another 2 yrs at least with Dak under center and a team that is hype.

 

[Hook'em#11]

Yeah, I agree. There were more than 2 bad passes by Dak.

Problem is, he made up possibly 1, or 2 of em. But, there were more then 2.

No its up to the o line to block their men effectively and help create throwing lanes.

 

[Hadenough]

Dallas has a 17%conversion rate on 3rd and 7 +. If that is true what the commentators stated. I can only laugh at the fools gold we have at QB.

 

[Miller]

Hey whoa bro......didn't Bob ask us to remain respectful and civil? Why you gotta do this?

I never said "Dak doesn't get the most hate". I Was simply pointing out other people get a lot of blame too. TONS of anti zeke all over the place.

As the big dollar QB....it's only natural Dak is a bigger target. He runs the show. It's the way it's always worked and always will. Fair or not.

Its like a cult. It’s strange. I’m not a hater at all but if you even admit the guy doesn’t play well it’s off to the guillotine with you!

This is the lunacy.

Welcome to it.

 

[DonaldM]

Our D sucked. They couldn't stop minime to save their lives. And the o-line allowed too much pressure. Dak sucked but not so bad.

Yes because every qb in the league THRIVES in 3rd and long....

 

[Adreme]

I still do not know how everyone can call that fumble clear. I see a left elbow that may or may not be down as the ball is coming out. I have absolutely no idea whether that call would have been overturned even if they could have challenged it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No its up to the o line to block their men effectively and help create throwing lanes.

And also create running lanes?

 

[blueblood70]

Ya'll haters are crazy with hate.

This game was not on Dak. If anything, Dak kept us in this game.

I counted 5 batted balls and 2 drops. That is 7 of his 14 incompletes for the game.

There were 2 passes I would deem bad by him. 2.

His fumble in the 2nd to last drive...it sucks, but it happens and was a great play by the defender. I am more happy that he ran the way he did making people miss (more than Zeke did all game) and not afraid of his leg. If that 22 yard run didn't get called back, he had 2 less yards running than Kyler that you all think is the 2nd coming.

THis game was not on him but here is what was the cause of the loss:

• The total lack of a running game and threat of the run. Just anemic. No one respects Zeke as he is clearly hurt.
• Horrible penalties. Many advantageous 3rd downs turned into much more difficult 3rd downs.
• Another crushing missed chip shot fg.
• Jayron dropping that gimme pick in the end zone.
• The HORRIBLE non-fumble call on a clear fumble at the end of the game. The defense finally made a play and the refs screw us. We last saw the ball with over 4 min left...never get it back. Clearly this is Dak's Fault.

You guys are all dejected and blaming our QB but I am encouraged. I see us beating them in the playoffs. I really do. I expect our defense to clamp them down even more and I expect our offense to not shoot themselves in the foot like they did today.

I agree
the OL play is the biggest issue, refs small amount and others less. lost by 3 imagine if the ol didn't have 5 penalties and could block better...they killed drives took away big plays..dak wasnt perfect but iof we need our QB to play perfect we are in trouble..i men the rams wins 2 game sin row with Stafford throwing 5 IJTs and not playing well at all..seen the jets nearly beat the bucs saw the eagles struggle with wft, took cinci a big comeback i mean they got it figured out as team but our OL kept torpedoing drives, period..

hanging this on dak once again signing out players with big deals and not using common sense is futile.

 

[Whyjerry]

He is underperforming as well in proportion to his contract. But Prescott has the ball in his hands before offensive snaps to influence the game like no other player. The lack of deep shots against a depleted secondary was particularly concerning. That's also on Moore but Prescott is in his 6th year...surely he can change the call and take a deep shot where appropriate.

This team is 11-5. Dak is top 10 in nearly every statistical measure. He has had a few bad games this year. Mahomes was terrible in the beginning of the year. It happens.

Sorry. I am worked up over the Dak hate. Team is 11-5. Every single one of us would have taken this back in August.

Erik Williams made defenders pay if they jumped up attempting to block passes.
- He would punch them in the gonads.

 

[dckid]

Dak didn't have his best game but when you are down by 3 points and have ~4 minutes left, you'd expect our supposed vaunted defense to make a stop and get the ball back to the offense with some time left.
The Cards were able to run out the clock. That was pathetic.

That was pathetic, they missed on so many chances to stop the Cards on third down. It was like playing against Manning. He would always ice the game on offense.

That means nothing. Live in the now

When these teams play again in two weeks, The Cardinals win by 15
