Dak breaks another Record

Most completion in a game by a Cowboy. 42 against the Eagles. Only six quarterbacks in NFL history have completed more passes in a game than Prescott. Dak is something special.

Dallas has the best team in the NFL. To hoist the Lombardi trophy will be the final blow to the depressed Eagle nation.

I like your enthusiasm, but Dak completing 42 passes does not mean the Cowboys have the best team in the NFL. The Cowboys have over the last several games elevated themselves into the picture, but they have to get over stalling so often in the red zone if they are going to join the top tier teams.

If they are winning who cares about redzone percentage. The name of the game is wins, not redzone percentage.

First of many records he'll set.

Because it's going to get tougher in the playoffs. Right now we aren't playing division leading teams every week, but the playoffs will be different, and inconsistency will bite you in the butt.

Win the Super Bowl...

Otherwise he can be a Marino and go down as a forgotten GOAT candidate

It isn't the be all end all, but it would be nice if they can improve. KC was very successful in the redzone last night and lost. There are many factors to winning and it doesn't hurt to hope they can improve as many facets of the game as they can. Obviously it doesn't matter what the Cowboys success rate has been up to this point, but they do need to improve it going forward. Improve their success in the redzone and they increase their chances of winning the rest of the regular season and the playoffs.

And here I was thinking it was number of threads about his contract

The record that I want Dak to break the most is Aikman's Superbowl wins. I would like to see at least 4 by Dak. Heck while I'm drinking and posting, I hope he breaks all of Brady's records. Dak will be the GOAT.

Who were the other 6 quarterbacks to do it?

It matters because they have to keep winning.

With the exception of the Saints game (an impressive defense-driven win) and the Jags game (a blowout against a bad team), Dallas has won a bunch of close games against middle-of-the-pack teams. Beating Philly in overtime and Atlanta on a last-second FG does not scream SB contender. They will have to play better than that to win in the playoffs, and improving in the red zone is a big part of that.

I agree we have to improve but on all fronts. My point was wins is the only thing that matters. I don't care about fantasy football numbers, I just want more points than the other team.

Again doesn't matter if they are the worst team in the league, if there are next on the schedule all that matters is getting the win. Either in regulation or overtime, when clock hits all 0s and the game is over, having 1 more point then the opponent is all that matters. We don't get a special reward of we blow teams out. It's not a hard concept to understand.

Don't worry it wasn't Romo

 

[ShiningStar]

with the "dont hit the QB rule" that will fall a few times im sure.

Dallas ranks 30th in red zone TD percentage.

Of the last 70 teams to rank in the Bottom 5 in red zone TD%, only one team has won multiple playoff games. (2015 Broncos, who won it all)

Usually passing that much isnt a good thing.

What I did like, was that it showed Dak is capable of slinging it a bit to win games.

"Why worry about toilet paper? I see two rolls over there, why do we need to talk about getting more?" Gotta love the homers...
