Man, I am so looking forward to when we make the play offs and win a game or two and all this snivelling about Dak goes away.

Good. I like the “ extremist” label better.

It often comes off though that anyone who offers criticism of Dak is grouped in this “ hater” group.

The problem is he gets too much criticism for as much good as he's done for our team. I think many of us see a very capable QB who is still getting better. When you support your qb, you are more objective in what you're actually really seeing on the field instead of looking for negatives to support your narrative.

Who decides how much criticism is enough?

This is a Dallas Cowboys forum not a Dak Prescott fan site. .

Why the Cowboys lost
Dallas lost in a somewhat similar fashion to how they were upset by the Bills on Thanksgiving. After a long, promising opening drive that resulted in a touchdown, the Cowboys offense and defense simply fell apart.

On the defensive side of the ball, poor tackling was apparent throughout the contest as the Dallas didn't have much of an answer for running back David Montgomery, who rushed for 86 yards, or anyone else for that matter. One killer play that displayed their poor tackling came in the third quarter on Chicago's opening touchdown of the half. Receiver Cordarrelle Patterson was able to haul in a third-and-9 pass from Mitch Trubisky and take it 33 yards down the field to extend the drive. Most of those yards came after he initially broke a tackle following his catch and Dallas couldn't close in on him Trubisky himself was able to shed a number of tackles on his 23-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to completely blow the game open.
Along with the tackling issues, the Cowboys shot themselves in the foot on a number of occasions. Penalties helped Chicago extend drives that ultimately led to touchdowns. On the night, they were called for six penalties and three resulted in Bears first downs.

Kicking was also an issue for Dallas as Brett Maher missed a 42 yarder and gave Chicago great field position on what ended up being the drive that Trubisky rushed for a touchdown. Right after Dallas was able to create a turnover and go on a touchdown drive to shrink Chicago's lead to 10, Maher booted the ensuing kickoff out of bounds, which placed the ball at the Bears 40-yard line. With that great field position, it took Chicago just three plays to find the end zone and essentially ice the game.

Outside of their opening drive where they converted all four of their third-down attempts, Dallas converted just two of their eleven other third-down attempts. Not exactly a winning formula.

That said. Dak was not good in this game. He did miss some throws, but his receivers had some egregious drops as well (Gallup, specifically).

The game however, was winnable even with average QB play.

It was 14-24 at the end of the 3rd when Maher's kickoff went out-of-bounds leading to a easy TD. After which, we only had 4 offensive possessions (two of which were scores)

We said the same thing about Romo.

Im not sure what fans expect on an internet fan forum?

Is there a place people can go to like a Dak fan site where they can slobber over Dak without hearing any criticism ?

Already tried. Doesn't work.

Right

It’s all part of the Internet. As Barkley said “ it provides every moron with a keyboard a voice”. Lol

It just gets me that there’s so much whining about the whiners. I’ve always found them more annoying instead of just ignoring the extremist.

But they can’t handle the criticism whoever it’s from. Just ridiculous waste of time to me.

I wish Dak would play better defense. I can't believe he made Trubusky look this good

Dak missed a league high in tackles that game too.

Then you throw in having to overcome coaching too.

Argue with your momma

The Dak excuse train continues with so many on board ignoring the coming end of the tracks.

Dak’s idiot haters from 2016-18 (when Dak had a 32-16 record):

“DURRRR TEAM RECORD IS NOT A QB STAT!!! DAK’S STATS AREN’T GAUDY ENOUGH!!“

Dak’s idiot haters since 2019:

“DURRRR DAK’S RECORD WAS 8-8, HE SUCKS!!! WHO CARES ABOUT HIS GAUDY STATS!?!?”

All these charts and stats and Dak still can't beat a defense with a winning record.
I'll trust my "Eyes" and leave you to have your Chart and Stat fantasies for a QB that doesn't exist for us under center!!!!!

It seems you're the one making excuses while ignoring facts.

The train you've boarded leads down a dark dark path with many uninformed individuals sharing that path with you.

The point here being, that even with an above average QB (which DAK is) you are going to have games of average & below average QB play--it happens to every single NFL QB.

If you have a good defense, special teams, coaching, etc.. you can win some of these games where your QB is not playing great. However, if you have a poor defense, special teams, etc..you will almost certainly lose when the QB play is not above average.

LOL....okay, can;t wait to watch all the Dak lovers crying in the corner of I told you so when he still can't lead this team to anything.

I'm convinced people only watch prime-time games of other QBs. And then watch highlights of the rest. Obviously they watch every single throw of Dak because its our team. Seriously, you want a QB that can play consistently at a high level, once you find that, you build your team around it. There are ups and downs like you mentioned. I'm pretty sure Dak would have lit up our defense like Trubisky and Darnold did.

The Pollard fumble in the egirls game really changed it. They had sold out to stop our run in the first half and at the beginning of the second half Elliot and our O-Line started gashing them and was wearing them down. After that fumble we went pass happy with a QB that was clearly hurt. Our HC should have shoved Elliot down there throats and used play action for passes.

I think most of the Dak criticism is mostly based on his passing inconsistencies and prolific passing flaws not his QB game savvy instincts and play making skills which have carried him.

Dak is obviously a pretty good QB and has had some success but he’s not the purest passer in the league.

And until the team has more success there’s going to be criticism until we reach our goals much like we had with Romo.

And I think the staff change will help Dak and this whole team over all. Having a HC that will hold you accountable instead of just talking about it will help. And JG has thrown some under the bus occasionally.

Chicago averaged allowing:
6.22 yards per attempts, 222 passing yards per game, and 58.6 passer rating allowed.

Dak had 6.82 yards per attempt, 334 yards, and 83.2 passer rating, with no turnovers.

Bears #'s are even better if you take out the game they had to play Dak.

Without the missed chip shot FG, the offense scores 17 points in the first 3 quarters and one second. Funny you framed your comment I'm such a way considering that we scored in the first second of the 4th quarter LMAO.

Dallas scored in the first 5 seconds of 4th quarter then next drive was 3 straight incompletions. Then in the last part of 4th quarter down 17 points Dak throws for around 185 yards with Bears playing soft prevent. Dak and the rest of the team was bad the first 3 and a half quarters.

Dak is plenty good enough to help the cowboys win a championship but the defense and special teams and COACHING have to be better much better or its going to be the same results

Yessir, which is why he came into the league as a 4th rounder, and not a 1st rounder. Expectations rose through the roof because he kept our beloved Romo benched and led to his retirement. If others can consider that he can continue to improve, they could possibly change their perspective on him.

It's funny you say prevent defense when in reality the defense just pinned their ears back and rushed all out knowing the team was going to throw. Still didn't stop our passing attack.

Once we stop continually going back to the run our offense starts humming. Weird how that happens.
