This is Dak's latest "real test"

[Ranching]

I know it has become a bit of a running joke every week, saying that this is Dak's real test. Well, I think this is a real test for Dak. How will he react to the adversity he's faced this week. He really hadn't been criticized for quite a while.. He's been riding high for he last three months and then the stuff hit the fan. As a fan of the Cowboys team and not necessarily individual players, I am rooting for this kid to bounce back, step up and grab the bull by the horns, give 110% and any other cliche we can think of.

 

[DogFace]

I agree

 

[DandyDon1722]

He'll bounce back--

And if he doesn't we've got a great option. Either way we'll be fine.

 

[DFWJC]

I think hell respnd well.
Taking care of the ball is always important,.
But If you're not going to throw for a ton of yards and/or TDs, it becomes even more critical.
Do that and the Cowboys win today.

8 turnovers after 13 games is still good though

And win or lose, next week will be his next big test.

 

[Bleu Star]

Big W tonight. Dak and the rest of our offense gets back into a groove. The town criers fall back in line.

 

[Joe Realist]

well, this game decides a lot this season. They win, I feel they got East and bye. Lose and I think they lose out.

 

[Sarge]

And win or lose, next week will be his next big test.

Exactly.

Agreed. I know the "real test" thing has been a joke, but this week really is. It's the first time he's faced much criticism, he knows there is a chance of a QB change if the offense continues to struggle, and the season could legitimately be at risk of falling apart. I'm looking forward to seeing how he rises to the occasion. (Of course, with the full acknowledgement and understanding that he's a rookie and has a ton of maturing and growing to do -- it's not fair for the fan base to tear him apart if they lose tonight.)

The test never ends. You are only as good as you've played recently. This is true for everyone who has ever played the position. Just look at the flak that Aaron Rodgers was taking earlier in the season.

True that, what have you done for me lately?

I just think that this is a really good opportunity for the cowboys to maybe do something in the playoffs if they lose tonight its going to go south for them in a big hurry the giants are playing really well and I don't think they will lose another game if they end up a wildcard team going into they playoffs this will be a collapse of epic nature

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Our real test will be our pass rush with no Lawrence and Thornton.

Sean Lee is gonna half to make 50 tackles like he did last week.

 

[Undisputed]

Running joke or not, every game is a test when you're a rookie. I have no problem with that. If Dak is going to be our QB of the future, I want to see how he handles himself every week given a new set of variables.

 

[Jake]

Coming off his first loss in 3 months, with a division title in sight, this really is a test for Dak.

 

[Risen Star]

Our real test will be our pass rush with no Lawrence and Thornton.

Yes, how do we replace those 2.5 combined sacks on the season?

 

[Nexx]

well he's flunked the past three. i hope he passes this one.

The giants defense made Stafford look like a rookie today.
I'm hoping they are just playing that good and that Dak and our offense didn't get exposed.

Wow they really did, I think they are that good..But we need to find a way to deal with strong D's and tonight wont be much easier Tampa has a good D, I hope we have made some adjustments
