If your looking to define his career in one game this is the perfect example plays great despite many things going wrong but when it counts for whatever reason he ends up on the losing end.

Indeed. Brings his team back from 15 down in the second half only to watch the defense let Seattle march down the field for a TD.

Five TD passes allowed, six if Metcalf doesn't celebrate early. Stupid Dak.

Luckiest QB in the NFL......with Tier 3-4 talent base!

He has great heart and passable talent but he doesn’t deserve top-end money. Agree to $35million/yr and call it a day


But this loss isn’t on Dak. This loss is on the defense; specifically the secondary

The guy is down 7 less than a minute and he throwing 5 yard passes.

Yes i was wondering why seattle was rushing 3 the whole time. Cause they were hoping dak would check down and waste time. He did. If they're gonna rush 3, you have to buy time and get the ball down field.

Difference in the game. Dak 3 turnovers Russ 0. If it is 2-0 we might have won the game. I feel good about our team. Seattle could not have played better.

So in other words, Russ actually had a defense that tried to contribute to a victory. Don't you think some actual turnovers would have helped this game?

You could also factor in the Cowboys left 4 points on special teams and they failed a 2 point conversion. That's 6 points alone.
Yes Zeke and special teams was bad but we were up 31-30. Russ drives them down the field. We have the ball over midfield with 2 timeouts. We had our chances.

Yeah, and it might have kinda helped that he faced the 31st and 32nd rank8ed pass defenses in consecutive weeks. Not a real Murderer's Row or gauntlet of pass defense juggernauts to be sure.

Well, at least he won one of 'em, lol :)
Go Cowboys

I thought Dak played okay. I cannot blame the loss on him. The stats were very good. A lot of throws are just slightly off target where he needs to lead the WR better. The 2 point conversion Brown would have scored if Dak had led him better. No QB is perfect. The last play I was very impressed he broke that would be sack.

The Defense Sucks.
The Coaching Sucks.
The Special Teams Suck.

The OL as banged up as it is in pass blocking did well. Run blocking their was just not much room to run.
I really believe Dallas has the best WR corps in all of football. Guys are wide open and making good catches.... catches they should make.

Lamb is a stud. Congrats to Wilson.

Dak has some positives. Good attitude.... when not being greedy and dumb.

Excellent & I mean excellent durability.

Run threat keeps Defenses more honest.

I can see why some people say he is top 6 or 7 & some say he is top 20.

And racks up a ton of yards in the process, to which some will say he’s a top tier QB

top tier QB’S generally win against teams with a winning record

Meh most of the team is OK with how the game went and very OK with the money they made to play. I guess I am OK too. I mean they entertain and that is all that matter

We did and I'm tired of losing these games but let's also factor in Russell was facing our defense and we were facing his.......not to say his defense is all world but I don't recall anyone on our team being open for 3 touchdowns like Lockett. Or Metcalf.

We had the interception except for that awful pass interference.

The defense was bad but so was the Seahawks. We had chances. We will learn we been to win these next four games and I think we will.

Just like Romo.

Unfortunately neither ever had the luxury of sucking and still winning big games because of defense.
Big Ben has. Brady has. Rodgers has. Wilson has.

Same with McNabb, Wentz and Eli. Any year their teams went deep they had really good defenses.
