1000%.....but if you can't consistently do it during the regular season, why would we expect anything different for postseason. In other words, name one player on this team other than Parsons and Martin, who played every game like they were top 5.

I never get the feeling we are a close knit team, think it;s bunch of individuals doing their thing. Never really see Dak or Zeke doing much when on the sideline. No ..."hey, what the hell is going on here, let's go get it going grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~~~~~ We see Dak staring at a tablet, see Zeke just hanging out.

I was going to say something similar but you beat me to it.

Maybe Irvin should tell Jerry to let the HC choose the OC when he hires them instead of forcing one on them.
Jerry did this to Wade and to MM.

Irvin sounds like he's just puffing out his chest and trying to come across as the macho tough guy. Many Super Bowls have been won by role players making the difference. In his very own Super Bowl XXX, Emmitt put together a paltry 18 for 49 (2.72 yards/carry) stat line. Sure, he ran in 2 TDs from the 1 and the 4, but if it wasn't for players like Larry Brown with the picks, it's a much different outcome. Did Tom Brady light it up when the Pats won the Super Bowl with 13 points? Sony Michel had 94 yards rushing and the only TD. The Chiefs have won several playoff games with big contributions from guys that are way down on the payroll. Did Peyton Manning and his star power win that Super Bowl for the Broncos? If you have a coach that exploit matchups, even if they aren't the guys on the TV promos, you are much better off.

Michael Irvin seems to be confused. He thinks Zeke, Lamb, and Dak are stars. They're only stars because they play for the Cowboys.

None of them is top 6-7 at their position. If they played in Jacksonville, no one would care.

Doesn’t apply here cause none of our offensive players really did much of anything (besides Schultz)

the point is our star players were open many many times and we did not exploit the opportunity given to us (49er soft 10 yard cushion zone on Cooper on many instances)

I think we all see it, no fire no nothing really. I wonder if most guys aren't reall happy with the $$$$ Dak/Zeke make compared to their $$$$

I agree. He and Emmitt would not have been showing up and willing their team to a Super Bowl victory if they had played for the Jets.

You can't pick the exception to the rule and say there's no rule. Star players are the ones that take you through a season. Of course they won't show up in every game, but those games are the exception. Otherwise they wouldn't be star players.

Irvin is right. These guys give the role players enough security to shine every now and then. Heck, I loved Harper in those days, but he could only do what he did because there was an Irvin on the other side.

That's the way it is.
