Dak: “Statement Game”

[blueblood70]

Can't have a statement game against a team missing their MVP caliber QB.

If Dallas wins they will go back to believing they are the cream of the crop.

Umm that TEAM over there not just a QB they sure were proud to beat us with Rush. backups are capable, that team is stacked on OL, WRs, and TE not like GM working with trash, remember Foles, add a tough D and coach who hates the DC so short into his career and will have them extra motivated.

went 6-0 in the division last year at 12-5 beat Hurts and the eagles handedly. How many times has has the Eagles and NFC east beat a Dak led cowboys' team since 2016? not many, Daks owned the east , you all act like he needs to prove something.
our TEAM needs to prove they can win a playoff game , TEAM, coaches, GM, owner, Fo all have the playoff game to prove or be let down once again. this game means nothing in the grand scheme of things outside of wanting to win them all. its 1 of 17..seriously this isnt really a thing we are discussing here.

Great, now we have Dak infront of a mirror doing this:

I think this game is meaningless after the loss last week.
Dak is the one who said it's a statement game, not me

Parcells....what did he accomplish here, other than getting a towel thrown at his face.....he just collected one last paycheck.

He turned the franchise around from the Campo years to the playoffs with Quincy as the QB and Hambone as the running back. What more could you expect?

He went 10-6 with Quincy Carter. He turned the team around and gifted wade Phillips a Superbowl roster his first year.

He built a foundation and gave us direction that still is here to this day when we had neither.

This team can’t shut up. Last year, they talked about Ariz being a “statement game” and they laid a turd.

Now Dak is yapping about the Eagles game being a statement game.

I wish— for once (since Parcells left)— this team would do their talking on the field. If they go out and lose to Minshew tomorrow night, they will have earned every bit of disrespect they get.

What do they earn by talking this game up? If they win— the story will be they beat a backup QB. If they lose, they are a joke. SMH… I fail to see the upside of trying to declare this game some kind of measuring stick now that Hurts has been ruled out.

We arent losing today

just all you all shut up. Micah, Dak, all of you. shut the heck up.....if you need to talk like this, then you don't have it. you need to pump yourself and the team....

I am so sick and tired these loud mouths...this is the culture of the cowboys. in front of camera. saying things to create clicks and airtime. just like the boss.....Jerry Jones.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Prima donnas gonna flap their gums....it’s what they do

its the cowboys culture. its the jerry jones culture. they are just like the big boss

The only statement is that this team is not healthy and hopefully will be resting as many players as possible!

very true. usually teams that get to post season most healthy, have the best chance, with Steele, brown and lewis out. with LVE, Williams, Hankins going to miss games. with Micah, less than 100%. this team is hobbling now.

losing steele was huge, imagine a smith, smith, biadasz, martin, steele OL, vs. a smith, mcgovern, biadasz, martin, smith (playing RT since his rookie year) OL. that's huge difference.

and the DL wasn't great, but we got hankins to stop the run and he is missing. losing Brown was huge. he is not great, but solid. we got turnstile Joseph losing us a couple of game...

Sometimes we act like we've never seen one of these press conferences before.

Every QB, player, and coach in the league give the same packaged and canned answers to every question every week.

Nothing wrong with what Dak said. What was he supposed to say? "Gosh, the Eagles are just too good for this crap team I quarterback to compete with. I just hope I don't throw four picks and we don't get shutout Saturday?"

 

[Nav22]

Yah that's pretty much it.

Which proves two things:

1) You and he aren't going to be exchanging Christmas cards, and

2) You thought you had trapped him in some inaccurate statement but you didn't. So your attempt to mock his math was really a full throated condemnation of your lack of reading comp.

You're so busy trying to "embarrass" an opponent, you didn't realize the joke's really on you. I feel badly for you. Try as you might, you can't truly obscure that kind of humiliation no matter how many emojis you employ.

1) His intent was in no way clear, and my interpretation was as good a guess as yours. In fact, as I pointed out, yours would've been FAR more nonsensical if true. Wasn't a matter of reading comprehension at all. LOL.

2) His immediate response to me actually backs up MY interpretation. Dance for me and go read it!

Thanks for playing. You lose. Losers lose.

 

[Proof]

You guys are being too juvenile. This was just a simple weekly interview that occurs every week and he was asked is this a statement game. He says this game is a statement for themselves. It pays to actually pay attention.

these guys don’t care. anything to go on a rant. was about as mundane a response as possible

Parcells....what did he accomplish here, other than getting a towel thrown at his face.....he just collected one last paycheck.

Completely changed the culture of the team which was a disaster when he came in and brought accountability. Unfortunately the tenure ended before the benefits were seen.

 

[Jarntt]

Sadly this team has already made some pretty big statements the last couple of weeks or so
