Dak never makes the play

[Davidlee1973]

Shouldn't the list of people killing you be a bit longer?

No Pickens was open at the goal one. Dak was paid to lose

 

[Captain-Crash]

I'm confused. There is a long thread saying he's a better QB than Aikman.

He might be slightly better than Gary Hogeboom

 

[Shotgun Dave]

I must've been watching some other game then. Pickens was nowhere close to being wide open. But Dak should have at least tried to get it to him but he didn't want to risk a turnover.

Correct. Because they could force a tie with almost no time left. Which they did.

And then the defense gave up a huge long pass completion to allow the game-winning kick.

But, yeah, whatever. Dak sucks. Or so the brain trust here says. Never mind the historically bad defense. Dak is supposed to snap himself the ball, block for himself, complete every pass, and run them all in for touchdowns, and THEN go play defense.

No amount of logic or reason will ever sway the “Dak sucks” crowd. If we don’t win, it’s his fault, and that’s all there is to it.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

you mean the pass that would have been intercepted if Lamb doesn't drag the defender and somehow get a flag thrown on the D?

Now you’re angry that abut a rare call that went OUR way?

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

As predicted, he gets 31 points and the narrative is he failed

It’s silly season on Cowboyszone.

Dak never comes back and wins in the final 2 minutes. He probably has 2 or 3 of them in 11 years. But this was a coaching loss. First and goal from the 2 and a half yard line, what the hell was that? That was a joke in play calling. Then give the Ravens the ball at the 35?

Remember when the Giants kicked the ball out of bounds giving us the ball at the 40 and we kicked a FG to tie? The only difference here is our coaching staff purposely gave them the ball at the 35. How dumb is that?

Special teams coach needs to go. How many times a game does “butter” give the opposing team the ball at the 35 or 40.

Oh yeah, the same " lowly commanders types" that Dak carved up last week, beat the reigning Superbowl champion Seahawks today.

Yeah....

The Seahawks turned it over 3 times.

 

[NeverBeGameOver]

It always happens in big moments with Dak! Both defenses were bad. The better QB won!

This isn't a big moment though, it's September. When we win games like this, the skeptics just punt to January with Dak like always.

This whole forum needs to relax.

 

[DarkVader33]

The defense played their hearts out in a hot, muggy stadium against a tough matchup.

It was there for the taking in the end. Fail.

Giving up 34 points is great for you? I'd hate to see if they didn't play their hearts out.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Dak never makes THE play.

Never.

He is the one that even gave us a chance.

But I get it, the bar is at perfection for Dak
Everyone else gets an excuse

 

[pitt33]

Our 11 year quarterback should see the wide open receiver.

Shotty is trying to cover for him. I'm sure he said to throw it away if he doesn't like it. Dak didn't like it.

A 33 year old quarterback should make that throw.

Agree 100%

Shotty was covering his ***.

Shotty is an ***.

You really don't understand what you're watching

 

[GINeric]

Kirk Cousins
Andy Dalton
Daniel Jones
Geno Smith
Kyler Murray
Marcus Mariota
Carson Wentz

All on this list as well. Have some shame

Okay now name me the other quarterbacks on the list that you conveniently left out of your posts. Then tell me what the ranking order is, not just the players on the list.

I'll patiently wait for that.

Until then I originally typed my statement because the OP lied and stated what Dak has "never done". I destroyed that with just one link.

Facts over feelings my man.... facts over feelings....

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

11 years and still waiting

You can go.root for another team, just like your buddy broke back mountain

As of the end of the 2025 season, the Cowboys’ own statistical notes had Prescott at 24 game-winning drives from 2016–25, which was 5th-most among all NFL quarterbacks during that period.

Look it up.

You say “two or three” and the actual number is 24.

Just slightly off.

Not this **** again.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

How about the $60m man with the $35m and $27m receivers score a td so it wouldn't have mattered

How about the 10M TE not cause a false start at the 2 yard line

No, that crowd will never accept it.

 

[DarkVader33]

So because the defense couldn't make every play means dak doesn't have to make big plays?

We asked the defense to play average. They did....and we still have to blame them to protect dak.

Insane craziness.

In what world is giving up 34 points average?
