All this doesn't change the fact that Dak does struggle in the first half's of games. When Dak is patient and lets the game develop, we do well. When he starts trying to come out run up tempo and act like he's Mahomes thats when we struggle on offense.

Against the Colts on the 5 non TD drives we didn't do more then 6 plays in a drive. With one of the 6 play drives ending an interception, 3 3and outs, and the other drive failing to get more then 30 yards. 4 of those 5 drives, where in the first half, with the last one being the first drive after halftime.

Dak is a great QB when he stays calm and plays within the offense. He turns into a Avg QB when he tries to put the game on his shoulders and win. Sometimes it works out, but more times then not it ends in a INT or a bad decision that costs us the game. Be a homer, but at least be reasonable about it.
blah blah Blaha it dopes and we wont agree..next..

again, first half of MN and Bears game did he struggle? to many moving factors to put it on Dak , lets say the Cowboys OFFENSE, coaches, play callers and players would benefit from faster starts but its still how you finish and they been finishing big outside of defensive collapse in GB. its 4 qtr 60min game and we haven't played from behind much this season at all.

Dang, I didn't know you were the president of the Dak Prescot fan club! Because only a blind poster would make comments that you've made. Prescot's slow starts and poor throws kept the game close for three quarters. As for the rest of the games that Prescot has played in, he's struggled to get the offense on track and if it hadn't been for the defense and a decent running game this club WOULD be sitting in last place in their division! You're delusional if you think Prescot's play has been DECENT this year. Prescot's play deserves a "C-" at best, if his slow starts aren't addressed in the near future it's going to be ONE and Done 2.0 when the playoffs start!

Prescot appears to be the weakest link on offense

You know, that is a valid statement. I can't think of any other player (at least thru WR3) that I worry about them doing their job pretty consistently. I guess #2 would be CeeDee.

I know QB has a lot more on their plate than other positions but it's still not a comforting thought.

"Okay men, we need to make the following adjustments for the 2nd half"

"Defense?......Get turnovers. Lots of them!"

"Offense?......Score points!"

I was rewatching the Colts game yesterday and something caught my attention. We went back and forth with the a struggling Colts team till the 2nd half. These coaches make half time adjustments unlike the Garrett era, Garrett's teams would've let this struggling Colts team hang in there till the very end and even possibly win the game. I'm thankful to have coaches who at least try to change things up if they aren't working, I know the Green Bay game is some what of an exception.
This was more about the colts imploding more than anything else. They are going to be a solid team with a few additions to their team. We didn't make the big mistakes down the stretch and continued to play our game. Look at their game with the eagles. We did what we were supposed to do: we took advantage of the opportunities that came our way and they couldn't recover.

If it was halftime adjustments why did we look horrible in the 3rd quarter
This. They didnt’ adjust jack, the guys just started giving max effort. If we played like that from the opening kickoff the games would be over at the half.

. They didn’t look horrible. The defense struggled and the offense had a holding penalty that killed the first drive. First series the offense had there was a holding penalty which killed the drive. Colts went on an 8 min drive for a TD. Cowboys got the kickoff with a drive that ended in the 4th quarter with a TD.

So outside the holding penalty, the defense didn’t play well the 3rd quarter.

I sometimes wonder if Zoners actually watch the games.

Prescot appears to be the weakest link on offense, his slow starts have to be addressed sooner than later or it's ONE and DONE 2.0 in the playoffs this year.

Dak seems to get in sync faster when his legs are used early. Not sure if it's an adrenaline problem, but moving the pocket or keeping the ball on a few read options would be beneficial.

I would point out that usually, struggling early in games is the mark of bad coaching. Not players.

The first 15 or so plays usually are scripted plays. The best coaches in the league will come out and have a really good first or second drive and then struggle as the game wears on.

I think we are the opposite. It's more when Dak takes over at the line that we excel.

(With all that said, he didn't play very well Sunday. He just seemed a little off)

Don't interrupt their oversimplified take with details and facts.

Carrot did say we would win by 40, so he made pregame adjustment.

They did not score one point after having the ball at the 50 in the 3rd quarter.
That is horrible any way you try to spin it ....... esp when one quarter later they score 33 points.
