Dak lost this game

[Swagger]

The defense allowed 13 points on the road, that should be an automatic win for most teams except for a Garrett coached team.

Yep

Unfortunately people without any awareness or a basic understanding of NFL fail to appreciate what you state - the defense gave up 13 points on the road where the Commanders have averaged 21 points this season yet some still try to pin blame on the D!

Comical yet embarrassing insight from some fans.

 

[Bdubsgottagrub]

Do we really blame Dak? Yeah, I don't see him being ELITE...but I see him playing much better than what he is doing now.. he needs a new coach

Look how much better Bryon Jones and Anthony brown are playing with a new coach.. people were ready to get rid of these 2 guys last season!

Dak with a better coach could result in a Cheap good QB that can consistently do just enough to get the job done and with a cheap paycheck...thus, more money spent on Defense and Oline.

Still can’t believe that fumble. I was hoping boneheaded plays like that from our QB was a thing of the past.

For a guy who likes to remind everyone to quit living in the past you sure do spend a lot of time talking about it

 

[Sinister]

You can't blame zero run game. Dak is the reason we have zero run game.

People actually liked this idiotic comment. PFFFFFFFTTT!!!

 

[Broges74]

Blame dak, but also blame (see QB list under JG) for .5000 seasons . (Never blame the coaching ) smh.

2010 Tony Romo (6) / Jon Kitna (9) / Stephen McGee (1)
2011 Tony Romo (16)
2012 Tony Romo (16)
2013 Tony Romo (15) / Kyle Orton (1)
2014 Tony Romo (15) / Brandon Weeden (1)

2016 Dak Prescott (16)
2017 Dak Prescott (16)
2018 Dak Prescott (5)

Hey let's not let historical facts get in the way of people's agenda. That's not allowed here.

Dak doesn't trust his arm to throw balls in tight windows but that hasn't been the case always. Romo trusted his arm entirely too much as well. He's on year 3 and if he was a 1st rounder, no one would be calling for another QB draft. 2020 is the year for getting a QB in the draft. I think you give Dak 2019 to right the ship.

Yeah Romo loving Dak haters don’t like being reminded of Romo’s boneheaded plays which caused Dallas to lose. You guys want to think of him as perfect. Dak has that Tony Ohno play yesterday which cost them the game.

 

[JayFord]

Dak? Dak was the only reason we pushed back and could have gone to overtime

They shut zeke down and dak missed some throws yes but he made some big time ones as well

 

[Brax]

You should win with that stat line.

You should unless you waste a 13 point defensive effort, single hand-idly give the other team 7 points on one of your fumbles, miss wide open receivers. Dak boys are out in force defending poor Dak, WR's stink, OL stinks, Zeke is trash, even D stinks letting AP run like he did, Coaching stinks, this game is just another example of how Dak can win games, for the other team that is. Say what you want Dak is the reason they lost. Scoring 20 points for this Dak led offense just doesn't happen with regularity. This is what a Dak led offense looks like, we should all be use to it. Game planning against Dak is simple, Stop the run, pressure Dak and he will find a way to lose the game. Dak is a good QB if everything works to perfection and he has a lot of pocket time, as soon as anything starts to break down Dak becomes average, when the pressure is on Dak becomes poor, just the way it is, cheer for him, defend him, adore him all you want it just will not change the facts that Dak is at best a average lower tier QB .

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Not even because the fumble on the goal line. Dak is not getting the ball out fast enough, not throwing the receivers open. He also constantly did not see open receivers for crying out loud. I like Dak but he has not improved his pass read skills. He should also get his eyes examined.

I'm tired of this win on lose one BS we have endured for so dang long. Arggggg!

Dak didn't lose anything.....this is his game same as it was at Mississippi....Deer in the Headlights,falling down thinking your being sacked, unable to read down field etc etc etc man 2016 was dream for Dak welcome everyone to his nightmare reality of today......Pepsi anyone????

Dak is the only reason we had a chance to win this game. The OL and Zeke was none existent in this particular game. Dak showed up. What millionaire on the OL showed up?

 

[Brax]

Well that's what these guys told us.

it's even worse than "these guys" told you, he found a way to throw for more than 200 yards and still loose the game when the D gives up only 13. Dak is the other teams secret weapon.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I still think it's possible to call out Dak and hold him accountable for the mistakes, poor plays, or poor decisions that he makes. And at the same time calling out other players on the team to hold them accountable for their bad games, bad plays, poor plays, bad decisions, and mistakes as well. For example when there is a QB who is struggling with trying to be consistent, trying to improve his game and make the offense more productive, it doesn't help to have WRs to drop balls that hit them right in the hands. Or Offensive linemen who get penalties at the worst times wiping out the actual big plays and first downs that the QB and offense does manage to get.

Problem is some are so Anti-Dak that they want to give more of a free pass to the rest of the team to put most of the blame on Dak for losing the game. And even if the problems with him are address, even if he is benched and a new QB drafted the issues like WRs dropping balls and the Oline getting penalties that wipes out big plays aren't going to do a young new QB any favors. An young QB certainly won't be done favors if the game plays out like yesterday where the run game is getting stuffed because the O Line can't run block and when they are struggling in pass protection for their QB.

 

[iceberg]

Dak was under pressure most of the game since our OL lost the battle of the trenches. Our receivers need to help Dak by at least catching the ball when he hits them in the hands, chest, or facemask.

yep. dez had some of this problem also.

none of that changes the fact dak doesn't seem to be able to read the field fast enough on a consistent basis. many in here seem to be making up for daks flaws by bashing other players. dunno why.

yes zeke should have caught the ball. then again zeke i don't think ever had a 1 ypc average like he did yesterday. or what, 2? whatever it was it was horrible. our OLine certainly has fallen from grace. not sure if conner williams is just growing up or just doesn't have what it takes but we've got the rest of this year to find out. we also need to find a better C than looney. he's "ok" but that's about it. i don't see him able to QB the OL like fredrick could and that is hurting us also.

i'm far from saying dak is working under perfect circumstances, not even close to going there. but when he has time he's still making the wrong reads. but every once in awhile he'll throw a beauty of a pass. yes he sure does. just not often enough. he's also hampered by the play calling and unable to work around it with reading the D for example. i don't envy the situation dak is in and it's not like i get up in the morning and just exist to find new ways to bash him. in year 1 i loved his success as much as the next cowboys fan but i couldn't help but notice the bad throws and tipped balls all seemed to go our way. now it just seems we used up his quota in year 1 and they simply don't fall our way now.

i also wish we have a legit #1 wr but i don't see that helping dak much more than the herd of #2's and #3's we've got running around right now.

we're simply not playing across the board as a team and in the end i put that back on coaching moreso than dak. but that doesn't excuse dak cause i just don't see him as a future all star playoff caliber qb. if you do more power to you and enjoy the ride. we're going to disagree and that's pretty much all there is to it.

 

[Brax]

The DB was right behind covering Swaim. You just can't see him in this picture above.

what about Zeke wide open on the left, you can see him.

 

[Brax]

This week’s film is going to be really bad for Dak. He missed open guys all day long. I know he does that on the regular but this time I think it’s going to be more egregious than ever.

It's not Dak's fault everyone else wasn't trying hard enough, poor Dak has to win every game by himself. It doesn't seem to matter to many on this board how bad inaccurate Dak is under pressure or past 5 yards, it is never his fault, I truly wish Dak was great QB fact is he just isn't and most likely never will be.

 

[Brax]

They got so mauled that our D only gave up 13 points in the game (Dak gave up the other 7), what more do you want from our D? Some times i don't understand some of you guys

I'm with on this , it just gets crazier every week, this on takes the cake, D holds team to 13 points Dak scores touchdown for Commanders and it's the D's fault, .

 

[Brax]

You are aware this is the status of this team's receivers/TE's.

Geoff Swaim – 59 snaps (Swaim was drafted in the seventh round)

Allen Hurns – 38 snaps (Hurns was not drafted)

Cole Beasley – 37 snaps (Beasley was not drafted)

Deonte Thompson – 36 snaps (Thompson was not drafted)

Michael Gallup – 24 snaps (Gallup is a third-round rookie)

Tavon Austin – 23 snaps (Austin was a first-rounder who needed to resurrect his career and was traded for next-to-nothing if you agreed to take his already-reduced contract)

Blake Jarwin – 18 snaps (Jarwin was not drafted)

Rico Gathers – 7 snaps (Gathers was drafted in the sixth round after having not played football since eighth grade)

Brice Butler – 1 snap (Butler was drafted in the seventh round in 2013 and recently unemployed)

Now tell me again Dak is not throwing the ball quick enough and that the receivers are open.

Dak is not throwing the ball quick enough and receivers are wide open, it's true and you have been told again.

 

[Ken]

yes...he found a way for the running game to be non existent and a guy to attempt to catch a td with his face.

Good stuff.

 

[Ken]

By yours and others account...the cowboys should have scored 78 points with all of the wide open wrs..

Maybe we have discounted the talent at wr?
