Dak and Coaching were major issues today

[gimmesix]

I really thought that was what they were going to do...that would have softened up the D a little.

I didn't because while we have seen Moore add some motion to this offense, we have never seen Garrett try to actually outsmart the other team.

It’s tough to score against the Pats in those weather conditions. Not a excuse not to win but it’s a decent excuse for why you didn’t score touchdowns. Patriots only scored one because of special teams.

You just wrote Garrett's press conference for him tomorrow.

 

[khiladi]

Stats say otherwise. Like I said minus being gifted excellent field position for the and the spectacular diving int by Gillmore dak.has the better day.

You can’t remove an INT. That was a horrible throw by Dak. Brady didn’t throw a pick. And if your going up go by stats, Dak padder them on the last throw and Brady three one up right before then just to run off the clock.

And again, Dak had way better blocking.

I was ignorantly hoping they were holding back some things for this particular game...and knowing they were going up against a coaching genius, they would be unconventional...probably more wishful thinking more than anything.

Lmao.. opinions aren't facts. It was a good throw and just an even better play by the defender. I thought there was no way he hangs on with how far he had to dive to catch that. But that's my opinion and we can agree to disagree. But don't let your bias get in your way

it was a horrible low throw that Dak rushed and side-armed. Good throws aren’t at the knees of your receiver.

And you can’t toss out an INt from the stats. If you want to toss out stats, then you can toss out the passes Brady threw away at the end of the game to run time off the clock or the pass Dak padder his stats with at the end of the game. Or the fact he totally ignored he had wide open room to run in the red zone again.

And you can ignore that Dak had way better blocking..

and you can also ignore Brady’s elbow issue on his throwing arm.

Again opinion. And not saying to toss it from the stats. I'm saying it was more an impressive defensive play than a bad throw. But I guess your opinion ranks mine so I'll let you be.

 

[Doomsday]

All the little things add up to one giant mess and a loss

No, the fact the ball was at the knees of the WR so the DB dived and made the INT is a fact. Throwing at the knees is not a good throw.

The fact is, Dak rushed a side armed, trying to get it out of there on the high snap. It was a garbage throw.

 

[DuncanIso]

We lost the game because of Special Teams..... you know that right??

Special teams didn't throw the INT.

Dak was terrible in the redzone.

He had 91 yards going into his 18th pass attempt.

Not exactly Tony Romo today.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

all the drops, bad officiating and bad weather and you blame the loss on Dak lol

Dak had more yards then Tom Brady and didn't get any help from the special teams like Tom Brady did. Heck our special teams hurt us more than anything.

Brady's one TD came from when the special teams messed up and gave him a short field. Didn't get any TDs were he had to drive the ball all of the way down the field in the weather conditions. This coaching staff is neglecting to address how important special teams is in big games. I put the INT on Dak. But, the special teams can't give Brady short fields to work with.

Yeah he didn't throw away the game. We were never ahead, you're right....<sigh> Romo was famous for fumbling or throwing a pick at the worst moments. I agree...lol

 

[BlueStar22]

Yall would blame Dak just because.

 

[BlueStar22]

This is purely speculation, but do you think Dak is not running because he doesn’t want to risk injury before signing a contract.

I think Dak isn't running because they don't want him to. They saw what happened when Romo went down and are afraid. Dak has just 11 carries this season taking scrambles out of the equation. Where is the QB draw in the redzone? Frustrating part is no one is asking for Lamar Jackson but the staff needs to take advantage of his running ability.

 

[DandyDon52]

Aikman called out the coaching twice in 2nd half, I missed the 1st half, and after the punt and pollard didnt
come up and catch it and was too far back Aikman said it was terrible coaching.
Aikman had said the ne punter had kicked short previously and would again, but dallas st coach and JG
did not prepare for that.
At the end on the 4th and 7 I thought cowboys had to go for that, aikman said the same thing, go for it.
Instead the cowboys took a fg which didnt help and later went for it on 4th and 11 in their own end of field.

They should have had a play ready and go hurry up so pats cant think about it, or would have to call timeout.
Then have better chance of making a first down.

We put up 9 points. It was more than just special teams...

 

[Fritsch_the_cat]

It was a garbage throw.

Brady made a lot of those too. It wasn't a day conducive to passing.

 

[Tabascocat]

I can’t expect Dak to play much better under those conditions. I was out there in the elements and it was brutal.....high wind, steady rain and a bone chill. I have never played organized football in that but have had many baseball games in that kind of weather.

Coaching lost this game, plain and simple. Some can blame the bad calls but when you play conservative like that, bad calls will not be your friend in the end. This is a pattern that needs a new leader, Garrett is a bad football coach yet he should look into politics!

 

[fansince68]

I thought Dak was fine once he put the gloves on.

he was bad before that. The Int hurt. I wish he would have worn the gloves sooner.

that patriots defense has made every QB except LAMAR Jackson look bad. And lamar’s success was largely due to his freakish running ability.

and the conditions for throwing were AWFUL.

And we made no attempt to RUN DAK!!!

 

[johnnygt]

I noticed that Prescott didn't keep the ball on RPO's, if at all.

This isn’t trying to call you out or anything. But a RPO isn’t designed for the QB to run. The play call has a run and a pass option, once it’s hiked the quarterback tries to read how the line backers are going to play the offensive line pulls and he decides to hand off to running back or pass. Run pass option. Now we could both agree they could use some option style football with zeke and dak. I think they did once. But I just wanted to point out a RPO isn’t for the QB to run or pass.
