Fans blaming Dak

[jazzcat22]

Not sure if you're being sarcastic...but Dak plays bad football at times...when he does...he should be called on it. But this defense showed ZERO resistance. Out coached, out physicaled, out talented on that side of the ball.

He is, he hates everything. And at this moment, I can't blame him one bit.

 

[Relayer]

And I am

And Dak would probably prefer to face the run defense and pass rush of the Cowboys!!!!!!

Maybe he'd accept a trade?

Well said. That pick was huge as far as momentum goes. We finally stopped them on defense. We prevented a scoring opportunity by getting a TO and then Dak throws the pick. We lost all momentum and our struggling defense came back on and gave up a TD. At that point the game was basically over.

Everyone contributed to this loss. We couldn’t get out of our own way. Our big money players literally dropped the ball, or missed the kick, and we just sucked. But to try to say Dak didn’t contribute to this loss is false. He did what game managing type QBs cannot do, he flipped the momentum on a very careless play. Even taking the sack would have been better. Anything but a TO.

Exactly, he has to give the defence something there for getting a takeaway. It feeds belied to the defence. Even if we punt, at least it keeps the chance of momentum swinging our direction. Outright turning the ball over like that was the difference, as the score shows

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Rusty, it’s not possible to have a 21 point swing. 14 is tops. Lol

Well, because there was the possibility of us scoring, but still, fine. 14 point swing, but still the difference.

That INT at the end of the 2nd quarter is something you see from a young QB. Not something you think a 10+ year vet would risk. Came back to bite us.

But, overall, the defense was the worst "player" of the game.

 

[StarBoyz83]

The offense, defense and coaching are all to blame for this loss.

 

[Acceptablename]

I couldn't really see on my iPad but the trenches got their butts kicked it looked like to me. That's were we spent our big money. Very surprising

 

[Acceptablename]

The offense, defense and coaching are all to blame for this loss.

I think so

They were beaten and beaten up.

I've been critical of Dak since the last half of 2016 after I had an opportunity to watch him in games and I've said this for 10 years now: Dak doesn't process information fast enough against really good defenses. It's not all his fault tho'.

If you are blaming Dak for this loss....you should be banned from talking football. This defense was a sieve.

Dak’s stupid interception was the difference in the game. The Giants time of possession strategy would have fallen apart if we had taken the lead before the half. Instead it’s a 14 point swing in the wrong direction due to Dak’s boneheaded INT.

 

[cguy610]

The int was like a short punt. Giants had the ball on their 45 yard line. Defense folded like wet toilet tissue

That interception at the end of the first half was a game changer. It was a horrible decision. I will agree it didn’t cost us the game but it turned the game in the Giants favor.

I'm sorry. I'm normally a Dak supporter, but he has a huge hand in why we lost. That pick before halftime was likely the dagger. He's not the biggest problem. But he didn't help us there. As long as he just throws it away, we likely go to halftime 7-7. Unfortunately, he threw a duck that sapped any momentum we had going our way out. So, yes, the loss is partly his fault.

I expect growing pains from the defence, but they did make a couple key stops. That takeaway could have been the momentum we needed, but then the pick happened, which was inexcusable.

He is the “biggest problem” in the sense it’s year 12 now and the offense has been catered to his skill set for years. When the Giants in the previous years were blowing coverages, it wasn’t their sucky defense, it was the “powerhouse” offense..

Dak, as usual, puts points on the board when the game is essentially over, defenses soften up and now with “gambling”, the league most probably plays for the spread…. It is becoming common-place on this league for teams that are getting pummeled to “make the game interesting” by the fourth quarter to be “coincidence”..

If you are trying to sustain good football in the playoffs to make a run, you can’t continue to do the same things year in and year out..

That interception gave the Giants the lead and they never relinquished it.

We'll his boneheaded play at the end of the first half led to a TD. The culprit of this loss was the D but Dak also contributed to it.

I mean it was a difference of maybe 20 yards (assuming good specials teams which I assume good nothing based on yesterday) and about 7 seconds. The Giants went 55 yards in 29 seconds (leaving 20 seconds to spare). I somehow doubt the additional yards change anything especially when even if you make it a FG its still the exact same problem where the Giants are able to score a TD on every drive so you cant come back (and only 2 possessions in second half anyway).

 

[csirl]

You'd normally expect the highest paid player in NFL history to be a difference maker. He wasnt. Could have gotten the same outcome with a $5m per year solid backup.

The inexperienced starter on the other team was able to control the game and keep our offense of the field....Dak wasnt, even when it was clear our D was struggling and needed our O to control the game.

 

[NoLuv4Jerry]

it's obvious Dallas fans do not watch the entire NFL. Was Dak perfect? No! No one was or EVER is!!!!!! But how you can walk away from that game and your FIRST critique is the play of Dak? My mind is blown!!!!!!!!

 

[DFWJC]

I wouldn't blame Dak for the loss. That'd be silly
The D got dominated.
But Dak did play a role and was nothing special, but not bad either.

I suspect some here who are pointing at him are just tired of the CONSTANT Dak-fluffer threads for the entire offseason.
And then those same Dak posters try every angle to tear down other QBs in the league to prop up their hero.
It gets to be so comically embarrassing.
