2 playoff loses where we scored a total of 20 points in the 1st half.
Let's be honest here if Zeke or the Defense isn't at 100% we are NOT winning the game!!!
Now do you dare to ask the leader of our offense Mr. Prescott why that is?
Nah why bother with reality when its easier to live the Dak Dream......
So the failure to score 20 pts in the first half of the two playoff losses is all on Dak, eh?
You do realize in the Rams game the Rams had the ball for FORTY EIGHT plays in the first half, right? Cowboys? 22. Rams had the ball for over 36 minutes in the game. Bit hard to score a lot of points with 22 plays, unless you're in a high-volume passing offense or your running back is going crazy, like Anderson did in the Rams game.
And the Cowboys lost by a grand total of 8 pts to the Rams. You don't think if the Cowboys had had the ball a couple more times then they couldn't have scored more?
And as far as Zeke and the defense needing to be 100%, this is a run-first offense, of course if the running game isn't going well it's going to be tougher to win. But that's the way the offense is set up, apparently you want a 300 yard, 3 td a game quarterback and nothing else will do.
Well better find another team to root for, because THIS team isn't set up for that.
Look, few here,
including myself, think Dak is the one of the top 5 NFL (as the rules are set these days) quarterbacks. He needs to get better. But saying he can't win with a perfect team around him is nonsense, NO team is perfect. Brady can't run, P. Manning had terrible stats his last year, Nick Foles was a career backup, and is anybody saying Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson are sure-fire HOF quarterbacks? Certainly not, but they all won SBs.
Dak ain't going anywhere, and will shortly get a $30 million or better long term deal. It's fine to criticize his play, every quarterback gets criticism, but ridiculous statements like he can't win without a super running game and super defense are just silly....
