$60 Million Game?

[JoeKing]

The game shouldn't have even been close but Dak's poor performance made it so. Does he get credit for pulling out a "W" in a close game when he created the close situation in the first place? I think not, otherwise it's like creating jobs by going around breaking windows.

Prime example of Cowboys haters and the people who like to degrade the Steelers as a bad team.

In reality, Steelers have given up a league best only 70 points and they're 3-2 same record as the Ravens. Bengals are 1-4 lol.

The QB market right now is just brutal.

I am hoping that we see some more Joe Flaccos and Sam Darnolds start succeeding, so that owners don't feel like they are being held hostage and need to give a max contract to Daniel Jones.

That’s not gonna happen. We just saw it with Geno and Baker lol.

A 60 million dollar QB would have beaten Pittsburgh 35-13 last night without committing 3 turnovers. Pittsburgh stunk in that game, and so did Dallas. Both teams wanted to lose badly, and Pittsburgh wanted to lose just a little bit more.

Dak will always be our regular season champion. Problem is when you get to the postseason, those early mistakes can’t be erased.

If the defense steps up like it did last night, he can overcome some mistakes. Had the defense stepped up against Green Bay in the playoffs we could’ve won that game. He had a rough start against the Packers and came on later, but it was too little too late because we couldn’t stop them defensively. I said before the game last night that when our defense plays well, we usually win. Had the defense not stepped up we would have lost and everyone would be complaining about the garbage yards Dak put up.

I’m sorry but falling on a fumble three feet from you is that considered heroic now ?

Not even close. Two pics that should not have been thrown happened. I give him a pass on the fumble because we blocked like crap on that play. Anyway, horrible pass into double coverage on one Pic and not even giving CDee a chance on the other Pic.

Yes, he gets credit at the end, but the end would not have been required if he did not have the other interceptions.

Good players overcome their bad plays. That's what he did. Not elite. But good QB. It's not like no other good QB has ever had a similar game. But I know every Dak throw gets scrutinized to death

They can be if you had a good defense but were led by a future 40 million dollar softy on defense so there's that

As much as I don’t like the media and Acho’s opinions

He’s right on this one…..QB’s are paid to win these kinds of games….

Quietly….Mahomes has won PLENTY of games just like this one and even took his team to a Super Bowl doing what Dak did last night

Comparing Dak to Mahomes is a bit stupid actually. One is going for a three peat and a fourth SB ring, the other is just struggling to at least get a WC win.

So Mahomes has really done a whole lot more than you are giving him credit for. Dak just trying to get out of his own way.

In Dakistan it's an achievement worthy of the Medal of Honor. They have low standards and are far too easily impressed.

If you expect no INTs while passing over 40 times per game, you will never be happy.

Why is this a problem? He demanded 60 mil a season and has followed it up with a pretty mediocre to bad season so far

Meh that game was the very definition of 2024 Dak. He made some nice throws especially the stuff he is good at like the over the middle curls to the TEs. He made some terrible plays like the INTs and the fumble. His refusal to take off an run when it breaks down is killing us. He compiled another 350 yards through the air and credit to him he made the play on 4th down to win the game. He is an above average NFL QB that wins a lot of regular season games.

Dak on a rookie deal willing to use his legs? I will take that all day every day. You can win it all with that.

Dak on a 60 million dollar deal unwilling to use his legs? We all know where this goes.

its not a problem. it was a statement. do you see it as a problem? seems like you are one of those who will take a single play, analyze it for 18 hours, have 64 comments on it and generalize over the season.


Dak has been good, not great this season.
the RBs have sucked.
the OL has been spotty.
the Defense is got its own issues.

its not just Dak (as unlike you I don't look for a single player to blame for all of our ills). the whole team has been very average to below average. but I know, you expect a cape and jumping over tall buildings in one leap, and stopping speeding trains, because its all related to $60M somehow.
