Twitter: Dak Prescott owns the NFC East

But the QB has to be the one to compensate for the lack. If the D is having a tough day, he's gotta score until they figure it out. The "the entire team sucked" just means the QB didn't do his part of the complimentary football. And when the D does play and the QB sucks...well...not hard to see what the issue is: An overpaid mid QB who CAN'T make up for the D and compete when there's real pressure.

Right there it is!

"dak sucked"
"no..it's a team game"
"right...dak sucked!"
"no...the TEAM sucked!"
"dak is part of the team and he sucked too!"
"NooOOO! It's a TEAM GAME!"
etc, etc, etc....

No problem with your post. I respect it. But you still haven't given me the name or names of any quarterback or team in NFL history that has ever won a playoff game committing a league record 14 penalties while facing an opponent with a number one ranked defense.

If no team has ever done that, then why would you expect Dak and/or the Dallas Cowboys to have done it? Again, im just talking about the first 49ers playoff game.

Then you said "the quarterback has to compensate for the lack. If the D is having a tough day then the quarterback has to score until the defense figure it out".

Again I respect your take. So my next question to you is, why was a GOAT quarterback and first ballot HOFer unable keep scoring until his defense figured it out and got beat by a team led by Eli Manning TWICE? Eli Manning who isn't even in the HOF was able to figure out the way to lead his team to not one, but TWO Superbowl wins over a quarterback like Brady who's considered the GOAT?

You care to explain how that was possible according to your logic of what quarterbacks are expected to do? How does a HOF GOAT like Brady fail to compensate and keep scoring until his defense figured it out TWICE against a team led by a quarterback who isn't even a HOFer?

We already adjudicated this, like last year sometime. Some of those "14 penalties" were on Dak too. It was his unit. And I believe it was for like 89 yards.

Ok, you've outed yourself as a closet Dak apologist. If every single box needs to be checked BEFORE you can blame "the guy", you have a bias. It's OK, just a shame you won't say it with your chest. You hide behind protecting your pet player from "hate".

It's a really bad stat for Dallas when you look at the bigger picture.

Washington and NY have been pretty awful since Prescott took over in 2016 and as a result, those 4 head-to-head games have given us a 3-1 "start" for our season. In the old 16 game format, it meant 7 wins and 5 losses from the 12 takes us to 10-6 which "looks" good but covers up the mediocrity.

We have either failed badly to capitalise on the 3-1 advantage or we just weren't that good.

Don't believe we've failed? Just look at the AFC East in the Brady years. All 3 East opponents were poor throughout (a few decent Jet teams aside) and it allowed the Patriots to garner easy wins. They picked up good (not always great) Ws outside their division which coupled with their 5ish in-division wins, landed playoffs constantly AND regular 1 seed.

We need to talk to Brady and see how you turn playing in a weak division nets you a half dozen Lombardis.

It does mean something. It means they can handle the division. Handling the division is a step towards winning the division which is a step towards winning the conference which is a step towards winning the SB.

We haven't stepped anywhere. We've managed to tread water at best.
 
The nfce hasn't been good for quite a while though besides some years by the eagles.
 
Dak will go down in DAL history with Romo, Quincy, Leaf, Weedon, Walsh, Henson, Pelluer, Hogeboom, Pete, Wright, Kitna, McGee, Ortin, Rush, Lance, and Mat Cassel.

Nah im definitely not a Dak apologist and im not protecting anyone. I don't have to. I've blamed Dak for a few situations he failed us, and I just spoke of them in recent posts.

I'll tell you what I am and what I do. I use the same narratives hypocrites like you come up with and place every other quarterback under those same rules to show how stupid you really look for having a narrative for one quarterback, but a set of different narratives in the same sport/position group/situations.

You're a coward lil bro and im talking in terms of how you conveniently dodged the questions I asked you.

Let's take Dak and the Cowboys completely out of the situation.... now give me the name or names of any quarterback and teams who have won a playoff game vs a number one defense after committing 14 team penalties? Dak has only been in the league league for 10 years. The NFL/pro football has been around for 100 years.

You can't name any quarterbacks/teams who have won a playoff game vs a number one defense after committing 14 penalties in 100 years of professional football? Yet you expect the Cowboys to do it?? Hmmm... thats interesting....

You also said that a quarterback is supposed to keep scoring until the defense figures it out.....

Yet you failed to explain how the first ballot HOF/GOAT Tom Brady wasn't able to keep scoring until his defense figured it out and loss TWO Superbowls to a team led by a quarterback who isn't even in the HOF?

Again, this is the narratives YOU created and im respectful enough to abide by them. Care to explain how a HOF/Goat couldn't do that, but a non HOFer Eli Manning could? TWICE??
 
Funny, I just rewatched Dak's best playoff game - The Buccaneers where he may have thrown 5 TDs.

The first 5 minutes of the game he was deer-in-headlights Dak. CeeDee had one legit drop, but after that Dak went high, low and off. Aikman said, "Man Dak is still a little jittery in the pocket..." after 7 offensive plays and most of them passes.

It was Tony Pollard who saved Dak's bacon and opened up the game. If it weren't for the fact that the team we were playing was not very good, we lose that game too.

The opposite is also true.

If you can’t look at any issue without attempting to put it on Dak’s shoulders then you might consider your own bias.

The problem with this statement is Dak does his fair share if not more, to helping us lose in the playoffs. If you are telling me we need a top 10 defense in order to squeak out a win then I'm telling you our QB is mediocre.

The 2 games against San Fransisco were there for the taking. The defense kept us in it. The offense led by Dak, let us down.

But your right, it's still on the jones for thinking Dak was the answer. Meanwhile, 10 years later, still in the land of mediocrity.

Well it could have been dak, but Mike was running the offense for those 2 games, and he was a big part of why the team failed, more so than dak.
No team is going to go far in the playoffs with a weak defense or bad coaching.

Dak has always had mediocre to not very good HC's, and same for defenses.
Sure he isnt great ,but lets see how he does with the new regime of coaches, if they get back to playoffs.

Might as well accept dak for now as he will be here no matter what for 26 & 27.
Also to get one better than Dak is not easy to do.

You've made alot of great points about the Cowboys having mediocre to not very good HCs and defenses for lots of seasons. I wonder why those particular issues were conveniently left out of conversations when talking about the Dallas Cowboys for over a decade.

You let some people tell it, we've had HOF coaching on the level of Reid or McVay or something or great defenses who were GOOD vs the running game for years or something.
