oh, so you are satisfied with RB output? like 3 YPC in an important game? you are happy with the 3 WRs not named CD getting 36 total yards? are you happy with your TE1, getting 5 catches for 27 yards? and then your tough defense, having had benefit of TOP up to the 11th minute mark of the game. when teams, good teams step up, giving up a 13 play,8 minute drive and 4 first downs... you are satisfied with that defense? good teams, good defenses, good offenses step up when it counts. that's what SF did. we didn't. if you think Dak is the only thing that Ails this team, then you are setting yourself up for disappointment, because befor Dak, there was Romo and we had similar results.

I hope Dak is gone and then everyone can see again, why this team is bad.
Seems it would be the QBs job to them the targets right? It goes bothways.
Defense held them to 9 points into the 4th with two turnovers against them, you literally cant put any blame on this defense one bit. They held a super explosive offense in check and only allowed on TD in the 4th.

You can blame jerruh for offloading Cooper for $3.50, but dak the previous game showed he can be good with this roster, and then the next blow it almost entirely.

"We'll get em next year" - The Cowboys motto.
And you will be here posting about the Cowboys more than 90% of the members. And you will be watching the games and cheering like everyone else. So whats your point?

You think your different because you complain a lot.

it is not. this team is beyond repair at this point. and there are no options in replacing Dak at this time. so we have to suffer through another couple of years, before the next QB cycle and perhaps another 20 years of this incompetency in running an NFL franchise.

your wishes came through. you should be happy, I assume you are. you get to post Bash Dak posts for another couple of years. what could be better for you.
So, we have two more years of Dak?
o_O:oops:
Damn! That's depressing .
I may take a two years of hiatus from the cowboys.

seems like one of the WRs was able to do so and the rest couldn't....I am not dismissing Dak's responsibilities in these. he is at fault to. we all know he is not elite and half this board cries constantly and keeps pointing to the fact that he is not elite, which is established. they keep crying they want an elite QB and compare him to those QB and he is not elite, yet nobody has a solution to offer, except whining.

but I am not sure how not to blame the whole group...

and to your last point, Dak showed he can be good. he is inconsistent. but so are the WRs, so are the RBs. they are also inconsistent and there are times that they are not inconsistent at the same time, but facing a good defense they are often inconsistent together and that leads to disaster.

You're putting your anger in the wrong spot.

Be upset with Dak and the Cowboys for failing again, not at me for telling you it was going to happen.
I am no angry. just highly disappointed. I am disappointed in the entire organization. this team sucks. its 28 years. but I guess, Dak was 2 back then and its his Karma's fault for being born and starting the cowboys demise.

The team outside of Dak and Zeke did more than enough to win last night.

Basically everyone, even Maher, did their job.

How is Jerry going to do that?
I don't think "overhaul" and "rebuild" are in his vocabulary. He's got too much money invested, already.
Well Jerry isn't. Stephen won't but he needs to cut a couple guys loose. Unfortunately Dak is here 1 more year regardless and then he can walk while they continue to payout his voided years. stupid contract

We didn't need elite play at the QB this year. We simply needed smart play.

We didn't need crazy numbers from the QB position this year. We just needed efficiency.

The only consistent thing about Dak is his inconsistency.

We wasted a good defense and now Quinn will be gone and who knows what happens there.

The window shut last night.
Yes, the only consistent thing about Dak is his inconsistency.
You just never know from game to game what you are going to get from this player.

The thing I love about football is the opportunities the game inherently affords to make amends for earlier mistakes.

Dak's INTs were awful, no doubt. Truly rookie-type miscues. And yet the game still sat there in the balance throughout the third and fourth quarters, and especially when we got the ball back with 2:59 remaining. The story of the game remained unwritten. Everything was in our hands. If you recall, last year's game went the exact same way. We had, I believe, a 4th and 11 from near midfield when Dak had an open Cedrick Wilson deep down the field that he airmailed the throw. What a missed opportunity. Similar story yesterday. He folded in the moment.

So you're 100% correct that the INTs -- a league high over that span of games -- is losing football. But it's the 4th-quarter failures that I have a harder time erasing from my memory.

I know you're upset as we all are, but me knowing and seeing Dak isn't a good QB like many others here saw to doesn't give me pleasure. I only talked about him a lot because I knew he would be the downfall as he always is.

I am a Cowboys fan and the reason I bash Dak is because he is a big reason why the Cowboys can't get anywhere. I will bash any player that I feel is holding this team back.

Dak isn't the only issue, but when you don't get smart QB play you're not going anywhere.

Hopefully you've seen the light now.
Mountaineer, I get the issue with Dak, but is not the larger issue Jerry?
Jerry is the constant behind 28 years of failure to get to the NFCC Game.
Dak has only been here the last 8 years.
Be curious your opinion.
Thanks, John

Yes . . . a 100% Jerry . . ever since the way he handled the "Dak" situation in 2016 . . . 2019 . . . 2020 and 2021 . . . I have blamed Jerry for all of this

Look I think Moore is at best an average OC but come on, are the people who are blaming him watching the games? Do some of you really believe he walks up to the QB and says "you know what buddy, it would be great if you would continue to throw into double and triple coverage". Or maybe Moore tells Dak "make sure when you are throwing those sideline routes that you stare at those WRs only, hold the ball, wait for them to come open, then throw". Its just sad.
I love you man.

The It's all Kellen's fault scapegoater group is in a frenzy for some odd reason.
Simple replay or if you have the All -22 shows decision making in real time to be the reason for almost all of this offensive failure.

Stop/pause the play.
Observe the ball still in Dak's hand.
Observe the "other" open targets on an interception play or a play where there was plenty of wide open running room.
It wasn't the receiver's fault.
It wasn't the play caller's fault.
It WAS the decision made by the QB in real time.
Period.

I think I'm up to over a hundred times on repeating this truth but thanks for letting me tell it again.

These people and their die on a hill loyalty to SleepNumber are funny.

The Dak over Dallas group cult are like cockroaches.

PS. It's NOT Kellen's Fault. And I'm not even a huge Moore fan boy either.
Lol

But the thing is, you dont need all 22 to see it. Sitting on my couch watching the live shot on all the ints we can pin on the QB it boils down to one of two things: 1) Either he throws where the defense has numbers, I see our guy and two or three of their guys in the shot every time. He doesnt have the arm or accuracy to make those throws on a regular basis. 2) He throws an out to the sticks usually on third or second and long. He looks, he waits until they come open and then makes the throw. In the shot the WR is either covered like a blanket or waiting to jump the rout.

Better receiving options I guarantee his ints go way down. Dak is not elite he needs help. Zeke absolutely can only block. A waste of a down throwing to him.
