I "think" the first use was referring to the idea of Dak losing the game himself and being held solely responsible, like Romo usually is, and the 2nd use was referring to the fact that Dak lost the game as he is a part of the Cowboys who lost. I "think."


I Think he was talking out of both sides of his mouth. :cool:

Dude...you just talked out of both sides of your mouth.

The old aerosmith lyric comes to mind.

When you talk to me in circles, take your foot out of your mouth.
Well who can argue with song lyrics? Sigh...

As always, the context of the statements is important. Prescott did not "lose" the game in the sense that the loss is his fault - his performance was not so bad that but for it, we'd have handily won. He did, however, "lose" the game, as a member of the team, and his performance while at times quite good did contribute overall to the loss. This is not talking out of both sides of your mouth.

Sure it is. I'm not saying it's aliens... But it's aliens.

Romo is 2-4 in the playoffs
What is Garret's playoff record? What is Garret's record with win or go home games? What is Wade Wilson's playoff record as a head coach. With what I saw yesterday I think we could have superman as a quarterback and still lose because we were not ready to play.

So now that Dak is technically winless in the playoffs does that mean that he sucks. Nope, Dak went toe to toe with Rodgers yesterday and had a QB rating of over a 100. I don't think quarterback play is the problem with us losing in the playoffs. Bad coaching and lopsided refs do us in.

Dak Prescott will one of the best QB's in the league and put us in contention for the next 10 years and Garret will take us out of the playoffs every year and Jerry will waste Dak's talents with Garret as a coach just like he wasted Romo's. This is so frustrating.

I hate those bye weeks also it seems hard to keep the young guys focused. Not playing healthy starters against the Eagles only made the bye week effect worse. Very poor coaching decision.

I agree, we should have kept the foot on the throats of our enemies. We went soft and accepted a defeat. I don't think it's a good idea to welcome a defeat. It messes with the psyche.

I'm still bitter and upset about this loss. This one hurt.
