What is Mosher talking about. That's not how receiving stats work.

Play came back for holding at the spot of the foul. 82

interesting....I would certainly think we have enough offensive horsepower to be on the better side of this stat. It's speaks volumes for Dak's current play style and/or play calling, which seems to be very cautious and high percentage

Those aren't air yards. They include dumpoffs behind the LOS with 20+ yards after the catch.

Here's completions based on air yards (depth of target).
@>20 yards

Prescott
2017: 7 (on pace for 16)
2016: 16

Romo
2014: 22
2013: 15
2012: 21
2011: 24

Prescott averages 1.0 per game, Romo averaged about 1.3 per game over his last 4 seasons.

Wow. He criticized the refs. They rarely do that.

I would prefer to "chat" in person...

Wrong again.
Cooper has played quite well for a cheap free agent signing.
Dak is the greatest 4th round pick in NFL history.

I don't think you can call a former 1st rd pick bottom of the barrel vs an undrafted FA pick...just my opinion. Austin would be a better correlation imo.

 

[Silver N Blue]

Yes destroy KC and send those overrated fans back crying!!

 

[percyhoward]

First one, we'd have had 1st & goal at the 9 instead of 3rd & 6 at the 18 (resulted in FG).

Second one, they'd have had 3rd and 20 from their own 2, trailing by six points, instead of 1st and 10 on a drive on which they scored the go-ahead TD.

Lol! Re: Steve Smith, I'm sure. Hilarious.

Helmet-to-helmet rules are different for a player who is running with the ball and a player who is passing the ball (a "defenseless" player).

The Dak play should have been a spearing penalty ("tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top/crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside the tackle box"), but it wouldn't matter that he hit Dak in the helmet -- it would be illegal if he hit him anywhere when leading with the top/crown of his helmet.

Troy took too many hits like this one if he thinks it was a good no call.

Crap. I just realized I'm Marcus Mosher.

Either way, it's sad to see Dak getting some of the same treatment from officials that Romo got when he was here. Even a whiff against Rodgers draws a penalty while our quarterbacks can be broken in half and not get one.

 

[bud914]

according to some posters here that is another flaw that Dak has. Not keeping up with the great Carson and Kirk....

Just imagine if we had picked Frank Clark instead of Randy Gregory.
