Dak's two playoff losses:

Green Bay had four TD drives of 75 yards or more, and we know what happened after Dallas tied it with 35 seconds left. The Rams rushed for 273 yards.

Garbage defense in both games. The Cowboys scored 31 points and 22 points in those games. The opponents scored 34 and 30.

The Cowboys have never won a playoff game when the opponent scores 30+. Every QB we've ever had is winless in such games.

GB was allowing over 400 yards a game with their third string CBS off the street going into the playoffs and Dallas was playing at home. The WR that everybody scapegoated the next year for Dak’s struggles went buck wild and had 9 REC for 132 yards. Zeke rushed for 22 attempts and 125 yards.

Dak got lucky in the third after throwing an INT in the third quarter in the red zone after Zeke dominated that drive, including running for 22 yards. Then our defense got an INT off Rodgers to bail out Dak’s INT.

Dan Bailey hit a 52 yarder to put the Cowboys up.

Not sure how you can blame the defense.

This was a 13-3 team against garbage that got completely blown out by the Falcons the next week.

You dislike Brady, who wins championships, but you're fine with average Dak and his stat padding?

he probably dislikes Brady for the same reasons people dislike Belichick or Rodgers. He’s old, cocky, annoying, and he’s already won like a billion times. Give some of the younger QBs a chance to win. He’s a legend at this point. No need to keep going.

How many points did the Matt Ryan put on that Packers secondary the following week?

I remember they could have scored over 50 if they needed to

Dak is pretty lucky that Cooper told him to throw the ball, because CBs were sitting on the routes with no safety help. I mean you would think a QB in year 3 would be able to recognize some basic coverages was playing. I mean watching Dak flounder around for 3 quarters to a tune of three FGs and 2 INTs against basic man coverage was so fun!

There is a reason Dak got shut out against the Colts and floundered around against the Bucs and Cooper’s numbers dropped after teams started shadowing a safety to his side.
I interpret that as them "going rougue" on the coaching staff to have success which is more of an indictment on the coaching staff than anything else.

Most people though the Packers were done mid-season. These guys will blame the Cowboys defense but completely ignore the fact the Packers were the LAST ranked passing defense in terms of yards, 29th in TDs given up, while being 16th in attempts, meaning they were a walking disaster of giving up big plays.

So Dak ‘performing’ against the Packers garbage defense is Dak’s ‘greatness’, but our defense not stopping Rodgers at the end, even though their bailed out a Dak INT with an INT of their own, has nothing to do with Rodgers, but our defense...

If anything Rodgers was carrying trash.

Wow. That is coaching. We never do anything like that as a team in over 25 years.

Linehan was saying Dak needs to fling it before they even went and got Cooper. Linehan gets no credit for 2016, but he gets blamed for Dak not being able to recognize CBs are sitting on routes and not even providing safety help on these WRs...
