The play of the game was the first INT

[TWOK11]

Plus, had Cooper not started stumbling on his own during that out-n-up where Dak hit him in stride deep, that would have been another easy TD. Instead, Cooper stumbled on his own. Those were 14 points Cooper cost the team, thus allowing Green Bay to consistently run up our D's gut and take a huge 17 point lead.

Yep

Cooper would have threatened the NFL receiving yardage record today if he makes those two plays and add almost a hundred extra yards to his total

 

[MarcusRock]

The Dak apologists are hilarious on this play. If they say a QB shouldn't throw back against his body for fear of not getting enough on the ball, why wouldn't it be the same for a receiver being effective having to reach back across his body while accelerating in the almost opposite direction? Too funny.

 

[Tangle_Foot]

Very unfortunate that Dak and Cooper didn't make the connection but this team has to have more wind in its sails than that. Going dead in the water and leaving yourself at the mercy of the tide is just unacceptable after one bad play. It's obvious this team has some resiliency but somebody needs to be pushing the buttons sooner rather than later to keep heads up and get maximum effort.

 

[Hennessy_King]

He hd to twist his entire body while moving full speed in the other direction just to get his hands on it. Seriously, the lengths you people go to defend Dak's accuracy issues are incredible

High school kids make that catch. Get out of here troll you aint even a cowboys fan

 

[CPanther95]

Maybe Cooper was just running too fast.

 

[DogFace]

I guess. But shouldn't a team be able to overcome a little 1st quarter adversity?

Maybe without 12 bad calls

Dak hits him in stride, we're up 7-0. It.was.a.bad.throw.

This.

The ball was thrown behind Cooper.

The ball could have been thrown perfect but it was thrown well enough it should have been caught and it should not have been an interception.

Blame Dak for not throwing a perfect pass, blame Cooper for dropping it and causing a pick.

If Cooper can’t catch that, do NOT sign him.

 

[Vegas_Cowboy]

Maybe Cooper was just running too fast.

 

[HungryLion]

And yet it was a bad pass

No. It was a less an perfect pass.

There’s a big difference between perfect and bad.

This was an ok pass. It hit Cooper in the left shoulder for crying out loud. It wasn’t even that far “behind” him


NFL receivers need to catch that.

The second int was a bad pass/decision.

This was a very catchable ball.

 

[8FOR!3]

Weak if true. Mentally Weak team.

You could say that but also I think it was a game of momentum and that gave Green Bay a lot from the git go.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Cooper catches that and we’re up 7-0 in a blink and it’s a completely different game.

instead it bounces off his hands and here we are.

Please, man ball was under-thrown if it's on target in front of him its a TD....

It was a pivotal play BUT we shouldn't have then given up on the game for the next 30 minutes.. surely..

Second it highlights the biggest problem with Dak.. he throws behind the receivers almost Every.Single. Pass. In fact you would be hard pressed to find a pass that doesn't require adjustment and you won't find tape of a pass that leads the receiver.

Third.. Cooper should still have made the adjustment and caught it.. no doubt. However I'm not sure that we can blame one mistake on the loss.

Lol throws behind almost every single pass?

Won’t find tape of a pass that leads a receiver?

Just tell me the time of all these passes.. put it out here and let's see what you got.

 

[risco]

Da

Dak hits him in stride, we're up 7-0. It.was.a.bad.throw.

damnit- you guys are killing me. You honestly think every throw has to be perfect.

 

[HungryLion]

You can’t be serious.

Watch the games. You’ll see plenty of on target passes.

Watch other teams play. You’ll see QB’s throw balls a little off to receivers, that their receivers still catch.

That’s why receivers get paid too. To catch balls that aren’t just perfect between the numbers.

Totally agree. Everything snowballed.
