Surprised Dak didn’t choke after the first two series. Credit for him playing behind an OL that gave him all day to throw, against an offense that was in reality not a threat at all to control the clock or wear down the Dallas defense with the 32nd ranked rushing attack in every category. The fact TB was even given a chance was that nostalgia of Brady, bit he’s effectively done and Dallas can get pressure rushing 4. With no RG, it was easy.

That being said, Moore basically owns defenses when he’s in his rhythm. The cadences he has Dak run force the defenses into coverage and Moore then calls a play in real time. That is the “hurry up” they essentially run and Moore actively sets up plays.

The first TD to Schultz, Dak was going there the whole time as pointed out by Eli. He just had to hold the 1 deep safety to the left,

The TD where he bailed the pocket was all him and Schultz, as pressure was up the middle and forced him out.

Manning brothers were basically laughing at TB on the bootleg roll out, as they called it from the beginning.

Again, teams have never been successful against the Blitz. This OL stifles it and it’s really just desperation. As I said, even when Dak sucked in 2017 he was the highest QBR against the blitz. Denver last year hardly blitzed him. It’s not rocket science, but teams continue to do it.

But as @mattjames2010 pointed out this week, Dallas is better than TB in every respect and will destroy them.

This was like the Vikings game and the Vikings were pretenders as the Giants demonstrated. Sam Darnold threw for 340 yards against the TB defense for 3 TDs and 1 INT. Their pass defense sucks, as they are as bad as the Vikings, giving up a lot of TDs and can’t generate TOs, bottom of the barrel defensive team, just like the Vikings.

The only surprise is we actually carried over a typical win we have to an over-rated opponent into the playoffs. We will only really lose against bad teams if Dak does his choke job.

I mean, we're getting molested next week against the 49ers but it feels good finally beating Brady and ending his season to boot.
Not going to happen. We’re going to beat up on the rookie quarterback.
