I don't think anyone said Dak wasn't ONE of the problems. But to say he lost the game single handily is laughable. If I told you before the game that we score 28. You'd of been jumping for joy hollering victory.
Um...no...I wouldn't. I think have proven I don't deal in imagination and what ifs.

It's why me and others are fighting about TOny Pollard. I ...LOVE him. He adds an excitement that is hard to come by these days. But...he does not have the body of work Zeke has so I'm not comparing them.

Yet.

I do not deal in imagination fantasy. What ifs. If you told me 28 but NONE in the 4th qtr...I;'d be worried and say we might get beat. By....Rodgers.

I have said this before/.... I HOPE this is clear to you.

You CAN'T "redeem your bad play"...by citing something that came BEFORE it. You "REDEEM" your bad play/.behavior...by doing something AFTER your bad play.

Good lord....you must be very young...this is "participation trophy" philosophy.

"well he was good...then he was bad....but he redeemed himself because of that good part."

It's not how it works kid.


Well Dominick Foxworth who played and retired from the NFL said the same thing on Get Up. So I guess he's very young too huh....

It is what it is, nice try kid. Stay in school and maybe one day you'll be smart enough to know what happens in professional football. Now run along lil guy.

I know it's not all his fault but we've seen a multi-year pattern of Dak not winning big games.
He does great against average to bad teams but comes up short.
He get's paid $40 million to win those games and he almost always fails.
Dak is a great talker but his skills have diminished as far as becoming an above average QB.

I don't know. We got out played and out coached by Green Bay. Why did Dak have to throw 46 passes?

On the other side they have a HOF QB that went 14 for 20 for 224 yards and 3 TDs. Mainly because they ran for 207 yards. Give Rodgers 207 yards on the ground and he only has to throw 20 passes, he's not going to lose many. This is how quarterbacks like Tannehill win games, let alone Rodgers.

Actually, it's quite the opposite. Romo is a gym rat when it comes to actual practice, which was why he was Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin over Caron Butler, who said Romo could have absolutely played in the NBA.
Tony Romo wouldn't know if you put a pair of 20lb dumbbells in his Golf bag after 1st contract extension....Q School Core program :lmao2:

If you and he share the same misconception about "redemption"...okay fine. I surely wouldn't say you are the ONLY..... misguided persons.

You can't grandfather redemption,

It could be I am misunderstanding you point.

So...what are yiou saying?

That they lost BECAUSE "some went to cabo"?

We had supposedly the "best offense in the NFL" last year. How'd THAT work out for us?
Lost because the Romo led Cowboys were not good and focused enough.

The post was in reply to someone saying Romo was a better QB than Aikman; since Aikman had a stacked team around him and Romo did not.

He will never be able to put the team on his shoulders and win games. He has to have help, as do the majority of other QBs - not named Mahomes, Rodgers, etc.
Mahomes and Rogers don't win games without help, stop that nonsense

Yes you are misunderstanding my point. Yes he threw the interceptions (one of them definitely not hos fault) but he did his part LEADING the offense to a 14 cushion. Is it up to him to make tackles on defense too??? It's wasn't his fault the defense allowed over 200 yards on the ground and blow a 14 point cushion.

Yes... he redeemed himself midgame.

What amazes me is that he came back from a gruesome injury and played great... for about 7 games, then went down with a relatively minor injury (calf) and has played like crap since.o_O

Don't blame the offense. How long did GB have the ball in the 4th? We only needed one lousy stop in the 4th quarter. 4th and 7 and the pathetic defense gives up a huge fourth down catch. Where's your excellent so called pass rush when you needed it the most. Dak sucked in the 4th but the defense sucked worse.

They used him smartly in 2016. Somewhere along the line they decided to use him like Mahomes, since they paid him like Mahomes. It's not working.


Tebow could run with authority. Our QB looks like he has 2 left feet when he tries to run.

Aikman himself said Romo was a better QB - I remember this specifically when he was commentating a game.

He threw 2 ints, and then buckled down and led us to a 14 point lead. Just go watch the game. Im sure you already have though.
Oh...I thought we already had a 14 point lead with 28 total points and in the 4th Qtr dak threw 2 interceptions. And Rodgers beat is yet again.

Yep...I will have to fire up the dvr machine.

So does Dak lose the big games or does the team lose the big games? Dak’s responsible for the big games? Is the rest of the roster responsible for the medium sized games? What about the coaches and front office? Those guy responsible for the small games? I am confused.
