Dak covered up for his team's ineptitudes tonight

[Rockport]

The irony in people talking about Dak and Herbert is that they looked like the exact same player tonight. Both of them made some plays but also overthrew guys a lot. They both threw late and made guys jump or slow up for catches. Both of them struggled scrambling. Both of them missed some easy reads.

It literally could’ve gone either way tonight. The only difference was that Micah went super saiyan on the last drive and teleported through a double team block

Dak 21-30 for 272 yds 1TD passing, 1 TD running 109.3 RTG.
Herb 22-37 for 227 yds 2TD 1INT 84.0 RTG.

You need to start watching the game instead of spending the whole game on social media. Maybe you’d learn something.

Until we get a running game and our OL starts to play better, Dak has to play like he did today. He needs to run and throw on the run. That's his game.
When I posted this few times, people said he can't do it anymore. Well watching him do it today, they were wrong. He doesn't need to be Lamar but run just enough to loosen up the defense and avoid getting whacked in the pocket.

Get Gallup off the field when trying to run slants
He runs a slants and with the slightest contact he is falling over like he was hit in the back of the head with a shovel.

Herbert comes up short again, as he often does.

His 2 TDs came on relatively short fields, otherwise he overthrew and underthrew all night. Dak definitely made more impressive plays to get to 20 points, but should've been 27 points if Gallup did what he's paid to do.

They need to run roll outs for him.
When he's in the pocket he holds the ball way too long.

But he's E-LIT.

This team still sucks and the players are inept. Who cares at this point.

I care

 

[Proof]

Really Dak ?

BECAUSE IS SAW THE DEFENSE WIN THE GAME , YET AGAIN

how when they didn’t score? they played well and sealed the win.

the Chargers have an OL coach in his second year actually coaching an OL. This is a trend of his.

Dallas defenders were in Herbert’s face all game long, but he was absolutely off last night. Acting like he does this regularly is a joke. In their loss to the Raiders in his first year stating, he converted like 4 4th downs to tie the game on the game tune drive, but Staley blew the game by calling a TO, as all that needed was a tie to qualify for the playoffs. That’s the most off he’s ever been his whole career here. Aikman was pointing out the pressure all game long.

The “pressures brought by the Chargers was basically collapsing the interior pocket with 4, nothing like what Herbert had and he had pressure all around the edges. That’s how you saw Herbert take off like 4 times in the first half. If Dak broke pocket he had plenty of time to stay running around the edges.

The Chargers blows games in this manner regularly. Pollard’s 60 yarder, the defender simply didn’t wrap him up.

Gallup not caught TD right on his breadbasket. Took away 7 points.

Special teams play (altho I don't blame it on Tolbert... no way he could know whether Turpin touched it or not. It's just a bad rule.)

All he does is go 55 yards with key 3rd and long conversions to put this game away. That never even needed to happen if Gallup makes that play, or that unfortunate special teams play doesn't happen.

Lol, both offenses were awful.

i know some like Dak and some hate him, but i think we can pretty much agree that he is a more productive player when he runs some. He doesn't have to be fast, he can still move enough to help the team. I think he had 7 official runs tonight. Between being flushed out of the pocket and designed runs.

I think that is a good target number. 6-8 Dak rushes every game.

i cant prove this but i get the feeling its Jerry's directive to not let him run in fear of injuries. And if that is true, it makes me sick.

Dak certainly did his part. The rest were missfiring like me jitney does when I use ethynol.

Yep, Dak carried the team to a win.

Dak looked good.
Lots of accurate big throws on the run. Also looked a bit more spry while running than he has in a long time.
Tonight was reminiscent of the things that set Dak apart as a rookie. We get that guy back, with many of the things he's improved on since, and we've got ourselves a QB.

Obviously, you do!

Why watch the games and even participate on this forum dude? You're such a sad sap, go find a new hobby.

 

[Asklesko]

Dak got lucky on that pass to Pollard. That's about it.

Actually it looks like he does this quite a bit........

He played a good game. I saw some of the same things that are problems but tonight he compensated for them by playing clean. We got the W and needed it bad.
