Well, at least we know why Dak threw his first interception

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about what the media says. Why do you guys get your panties all curled up about what they have to say?

Dak didn't play his best game. We still won ... pretty big.

This was a statement game. I don't want to hear any excuses other than Rodgers was getting boo'd.

Maybe QBs lose 10 points per fumble/int, now that makes sense! Seriously though how does pff grade QBs? Do they review tape to determine the optimal throw for yards that the QB hit or missed?

So he wasn't perfect is what you are saying?

117 qb rating and 76.6 total qbr suggest he was pretty dang good in green bay against a good defense run by a defensive mastermind.

The fact that you have to point out that he dropped a ball and got hit while throwing, which were both probably going to be big plays, should tell you that you are exaggerating how bad he played.

And yes...he did throw an interception yesterday...he is human after all.

Again, easily could have resulted in us losing if the defense didn't keep the Packers to field goals. You think these are little things, but Dak was extremely careless with the ball yesterday. Worse he was careless in scoring positions.

3 turnovers 3 tds should result in a bad grade. QBs have bad games. He responded to a lot of crap play by doing enough to let the team win comfortably. Im fine with any adversity he faces because he hasnt dealt with much. Its ok to admit when a player on your favorite team plays poorly and it should be easy to do win the team wins anyway.

PFF has no credibility.

When Austin broke out in 2009 PFF had Roy Williams our highest rated WR at the end of the season.

I will never forget that and never take their grades seriously. Even if they got this one right with Rayne.

He put up some decent stats but I thought it was his 2nd worst game of the season behind the Giant game.

The offense was a mess for about 24 of the 30 first-half minutes.

PFF doesn't make sense half the time.

Dak was fine.
He had a few issues, but few people go through an entre game against a good team without something.
.

Put it this way, Dak will still be starting after the bye week

PFF has given Dak many good grades this year and I believe overall he is still one of the highest graded QBs for them this year. I don't think any QB with 2 fumbles and an interception is going to get a great grade, and most of our big plays were more on coaching. Dak also didn't do much with his legs and overalls probably had more utility in his higher scoring games.

We get to ignore the fumbles and interception because the Cowboys were good enough to overcome them and won the game going away. Romo never had that luxury.

That is more you not understand what the two things are which is no slight against you.

Pressure means the quarterback is actually pressured or sacked. Blitzing means that the defense brings more than 4 rushers. So The defense can bring more than 4 rushers and still not get pressure. You can also get pressure without blitzing.

I think we've all walked away from PFF because we've seen real inconsistencies, but they are on to something with this performance from Dak. I was stunned ho much praise he got. He missed a lot of key throws, and turned the ball over twice, and almost did it three times. These turnovers could have cost us the game if the defense didn't play as well as they did.

Bingo. Everyone only worries about a W for a QB and glosses over their individual performance.

Dak was mediocre yesterday. Tony would have hung 50 up on em and sat with a giant grin for the 2nd half.

Or thrown 3 INT, got sacked 5x's and we lose by a game ending FG

I would not give him a bad grade but I don't think it was his best outing to date. However after what seem to be a lull in his play he regrouped and got things going again. In some ways this was a very big outing for him since he was able to overcome some adversity in his play. Fumble down in the redzone then the Int down in the redzone. He kept his composure and finished strong.

I would give Dak a C for yesterday, he did some good things and he did some very bad things. Lucky for him, the QB on the other team did more bad things and thus we were able to win the game. But his play yesterday was not as good as it has been. He actually looked like a Rookie at points in that game.

Um, what? Romo hasn't been good at Lambeau since 2008, and then he was 17-for-30 for 260 yards with one touchdown and one interception, i.e. lesser numbers than Dak's day.

He has a 117 rating, leads the game clenching drive, and you give him a "C?" God, Cowboys fans are ridiculous.
