Twitter: Cowboys, Chiefs and Bills turnovers this season

[DFWJC]

Top Total TDs - TOs this year match pretty well with the top teams

Mahomes +30
Hurts +28
Burrow +25
Allen +20

even Garoppolo/Purdy +18....lol

Cousins and Tua are +16 each

I don't think so either.. Teams notoriously go more conservative come playoff time. I feel fairly comfortable that Moore will not even be calling any of those routes that work into the teeth of the coverage and I know damn well Dak aint gonna throw them.

There's been some freakish bad luck too. That tends to even out

Ol Jerry said something about that on the radio today when asked about Dak's ints
He mentioned the weird picks but said there were some (as MM said) that were "minus plays"
Then he said he thought that come playoff time he actually thought Dak's history of taking of the ball would be an advantage vs a detriment. That he had no concerns at all.

Yeah for Dak to throw a pick in the playoffs some team is going to have to fool him.. which isn't easy to do. But it can happen. There have been a lot of really good things we've seen from Dak of late. Being more willing to run to move the chains is one.. and the ability to win games with not much from the running game is the other. So in the last month we've seen a 98 yard game winning drive and two wins with the running game well below 4 yards per carry. I don't know how we can not feel good about that. Latching onto the fluke interceptions is just silly. If those bounces go against you in the playoffs and you lose that's the football gods speaking to you.

Prescott (22 TDs-15 TOs = +8)
Rush (5 TDs - 3 TOs = +2)

You aren't winning that many games in the NFL scoring 1 td in 5 games....

I believe he was a 25.

Did Rush's brain help him throw the 3 picks vs Philly?

No his arm did

You all take comfort in this while ignoring the fact that our QB missed 5 games and is now leading the NFL in INTS.

We're up there with the Chiefs and Bills directly because of Dak's turnovers.

I guarantee the Cowboys were nowhere near the Cheifs and Bills in this stat until Dak came back and starting turning the ball over like crazy.

Cooper Rush had 3 turnovers in 5 games. Dak had 3 turnovers in the first half last night!

And you have left out their offense was bottom 5 wo Dak.

Cowboys would have more if Dak hadn't got hurt.

The dog would have caught the rabbit if he hadn’t stopped to take a dump.

The same way you could find INTs than aren't the QBs fault?

Do you see what you're doing here?

If I'm cherry picking then so are you and anyone else that wants to take INTs away from Dak because of the WR.

It's not the same thing because not all interceptions are created equal. A running back fumbles the ball? That's his fault. An offensive lineman misses a block and allows a sack? That's his fault. A defender misses a tackle or blows a coverage? That's his fault.

But on Dak's first pick last night Peyton Hendershot played hot potato with a perfectly thrown football three times before the Titans picked it off on the deflection. If anyone even remotely thinks Dak is to blame for that then they are taking an agenda to a whole new level. The second pick? That was all Dak. It was a ball he forced and shouldn't have thrown.

So that's my point. Interceptions are the result of many things. Bad decisions, blown routes, tipped passes, dropped passes, sometimes just phenomenal plays by the defense (see Jayron Kearse and DaRon Bland's picks against the Eagles).

If you just want to take 14 interceptions and lay them all at Dak's feet it's ridiculous. Seven of them are his fault. The rest are not. Simple as that.

Dak only had 4 INTs in his first season, this year he's broken his record for most INTs with 14 and he only played 11 games.
