Wow!!!!
You get a research award!!!

I was at 42. Great back and forth game with Dallas coming out on top. Julius Jones was running wild that game.

 

[Manster68]

BTW - this was the 8th time Dallas put a 40-Burger on the Giants.
Dallas has 10 on Philadelphia; 7 on Washington.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Proof of how good Dak is.

4 40-burger games in 2021.
5 40-burger games in 2022.
3 so far 40-burger games halfway through 2023.

This is the best 40-burger game seasons stretch we are witnessing in franchise history. Dak and his Cowboys teammates deserve our respect and praises.

Over that same span we have had a top 3 SCORING DEFENSE. And the rule changes favor not hitting QBs and not touching WRs.

Weak “proof”

I provided a follow up comment providing a link to Dak's statistics per game explaining how well he played and contributed to at least 80+% of those 40-burger wins.

Weak lack of proof on your behalf. Lazy actually.

 

[Established1971]

damn that 71 team was dominant, 5 40 burgers in a 14 game season when there was no play clock, the defense could assault offensive players , amazing

 

[CWR]

You had me at 69

There were really 70, the OP just knows how to work a room.

 

[CWR]

You do realize that several of those 40-point games had very little to do with Dak don’t you?

Several of them had points-galore based on the defensive play and special teams play, and Dak was just driving the bus.

Lol, cool post a link.

you didn't address the defensive points OR the rule changes that allow for 40 points more easily.

An actual "analysis" - not fanboy drooling- would be to see how many other QBs and teams experienced a spike in 40 burger games. I mean, are we supposed to believe that Dak is a better pure passer than Staubach? Aikman? Heck, he ain't even Danny White on that spectrum!

I'm not a Dak "hater" per se...but I do believe he will never get us over the hump due to mental demons. Not that he's dumb...no Dak is plenty smart. But he's a 4th round pick who admired Tim Tebow and just learned to take snaps from under center at 22/23 years old. Other QBs were in QB school doing that at 7 years old. He's a "late bloomer" if there ever was one and he may NEVER BLOOM. Not hate...just my read on his prospects.

Your read on Dak is way off, especially since Dak keeps proving you wrong. Doubt him all you want. He thrives on proving his naysayers wrong.

LOL! With all the rule changes to favor the offense at some point you have to acknowledge that not only is Dak at the helm for the most 40 burgers in Cowboys history but he is also out 40 burgering the rest of the league. Go look it up. No QB in the game is leading more boat races than Dak has been since he came into the league. Like AC said your "analysis" has already been proven wrong by Dak on the field time and again. I'm sure he's already better than YOU predicted he would be if you're being honest and he's still getting better. No amount of hoping and wishing for him to fail is going to change that. I think we can all agree he's better this year than he was last year and he's probably going to be better next year than he is this year. I know that drives his detractors nuts.. and I love it.

People do not care about 40 burgers. They want post season success.

Why can't we have both?

Keeps proving me wrong? What part about SuperBowl did you not understand? Wow..you sound like Witten GUARANTEEING Romo would win a SB before he retires. How'd that pan out?

Bruh, this is even more damning if what you purport is true. So we DO have the firepower to win in the postseason...so why's Dak QBR and W/L record in the postseason BELOW his regular season stats?

Either way, it's a losing argument that seeks to obscure details - special teams, defensive TDs, league-leading in turnovers which create short fields and creates points. Who CAN'T perform well when the defense is balling out? Give me a break.

Attachment leads to jealousy...that shadow of greed that is. Dak is benefitting from a TEAM stacked with talent. Want proof? How are Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz - Cowboys castoffs that were "hurting" Dak ...- how are they doing in Houston?

Analysis not attachment.

 

[OGSixshooter]

Why can't we have both?

One is of sentimental value and the other has real, peer-recognized value. Anyone care about the success of the K-gun offense after we beat the breaks off the Bills twice?

 

[Zekeats]

Is counting the 50s as 40s the right thing to do?

It takes a TEAM to reach a Super Bowl. You should understand that by now.

 

[DuceizBak]

Us blowing out teams is a sign that we have talent. Just need to put it all together.

Who remembers from 2011-2013 where every game we played felt like a battle. We would hardly ever win by 10+ no matter how bad the team was. That's a sign that a team is not very talented.

Look at teams like the Falcons, Commanders, (Steelers, possibly).

Every game is an arduous journey. Look at the Vikings/Giants of last year, playing close games even with bad teams is a terrible sign

 

[Momanpr100]

well the cowboys have never lost a game in which they scored 40 points.

That Denver game 48-51
