Allen apparently threw a ton of INTs in the red zone too, crickets
He did have some ugly RedZone picks.
He's often so overwhelming otherwise...I mean, he already has 31 total TDs this year....that he gets and deserves a bit of a pass.

I blame everybody on the team for the ints, mouthbreather doesn't miss. Probably Moores's fault too, I've never seen mouthbreather throw a bad pass.

give him three more years of 1 and done playoffs, big game choking, and josh might get the same treatment.

Dave is considered by many of his peers to be the greatest frontman of all time. When someone like Prince is envious of you and steals some moves, you know what you said is FOS. You can't call someone overrated with Two Diamond Certified albums under his belt. Most bands don't even have one. I can't stand The Beatles but I would be stupid to say they are overrated. I'm not stupid so I won't.

PM me so we don't take over this thread from a Patriots fan.
I think he meant vocalist not frontman. Big difference.

The Jags pass D is awful and Dak wants to redeem himself.
Expect a pretty big game from him

The Cowboys have a great pass defense and the Jags have an awful line
Expect Lawrence to hit a lot and to have his 1st int in 6 weeks.

Because this is cherry-picking...that's why. Mahomes has played 13 games. Dak has played 8 games. Mahomes is better when throwing 35+ passes. Mahomes has a lower interception rate than Prescott has. He's also been to 2 Super Bowls (winning one). Mahomes also has a QBR of 77.9 (1st in the league)...vs. 52.4 for Prescott (19th).

Prescott was laboring around the same level last year (mid 50s QBR) and a few were dismissing it as some bunk stat that didn't mean anything. It did against Arizona and San Francisco.

Probably 75% of them were not entirely his fault...sure he pulled the trigger but there was a wrong route, bad route, tipped ball, hit as he threw...kind of thing involved.

He has been more aggressive this year. That is something all of the haters have always knocked him for.

Put it this way, there were about 3 hyper aggressive throws on that 98 yard drive that won the game last week. He does it a lot but sometimes something is off with the play and it has cost us this year.
is that you Jerry?

KM is not a good OC; too inconsistent and tries to get too cute in crunch time.
He always looks for a reason to abandon the run; a lot of former QBs that become OC's show that tendency; they never really get over that.

is that fair though, maybe, maybe not. If Dak had 31 TDs, he would still be torn to shreds in the media, maybe deservedly. It comes with being the Cowboys QB which with CF for Yankees, Goalie for Montreal Canadiens and centre for the Celtics is the hardest position in pro sports

Oh yeah? What HOF, that isn't now a Cowboys homer, saying Dak is playing outstanding football? Analytical sites aren't saying it, biggest fanboy Jerry Jones wants it cleaned up and if that's not enough for you: Dak himself says it's his fault and he needs to fix it.

A Cowboys homer would blame CD and Schultz for running the wrong routes??? :lmao:

What did the analytical sites say about our scoring average when he came back? Where does it rank with Mahommie, Allen and Hurts?

Dak is a leader. Leader takes the blame for just about anything. Go ahead and pull up that ONE comment about Dez like MountaineerCowboy did. :facepalm:

And we were talking about his interceptions, silly. ;) Greg Olsen has been called a hater here not a homer. He called it soon as the play indeed.

No matter how we look at the interceptions, somebody will say you're making excuses. But the facts are not all interceptions are created equal, and that holds true for every QB across the NFL.

As for the Texans game, interception number one was on Dak. He threw it too hard and a little behind Noah Brown. It was tipped into the air and the Texans got it.

Interception number two was on Josh Ball. He let his man blow right past him and hit Dak's arm as he threw. This is not making an excuse for Dak, it's stating a fact and the result.

It's football and turnovers are part of the game. Limit them and winning goes in your favor. We know that. Dak knows that. So really that's all I have to say.

Dak some games is a top 5 qb, other games you say what the hell happened!
