Dak Did What Romo Couldn't Do But Can McCarthy?

[CWR]

Were any of the road teams Romo played as bad as the Bucs?

Romo average a whopping 219 yards in the playoffs. I'm a big Romo fan, but he didn't put together many good playoffs performances.

Hope we get a thread after the 49ers game how Dak is the reason we lost against the 49ers, if that's the outcome, since apparently he IS the team now.

Can we just get a freakin' Dak Zone already? I'm tired of members who are a fan of a single player stinking up this place. Just **** already.

It’s no different than those that don’t like Dak blaming it all on him or most of it. It’s not a team loss but all on Dak

People are dug in and won’t change indicative of how the world is

I don't see anything Dak hater about his post. More like someone tired of everything - good or bad - being 100% about the QB. You've said yourself that it is a team game.

There are some folks that I'd swear can't make a post without mentioning him. I might make an off topic post about the weather, to see how long it takes for a Dak mention.

If you're tired of hearing about Dak, get rid of your mod status. Pure and simple. You know very well Dak is this team's franchise QB. You knew it when you accepted your mod invitation, so get rid of it if you can't handle fans constantly bringing up and praising their team's QB.

He was brilliant vs Tampa and people are tired of hearing about him. Lol

Dak gets super old when he's playing well and appreciated.

It's the Romo diehards who can't accept Dak.

Exactly. Why the hell is a mod if he's tired of hearing about Dak? Because I heard about Dak all summer long and all week long after the Commanders loss and didn't see a peep of him being "tired of hearing about Dak". Tired of hearing about Dak after a good performance? He doesn't want to be a mod it seems like.

They're so annoying. I was a Romo diehard when he played...or so I thought. But I guess there was another level of Romo fandom that I didn't even get to achieve to where you dislike Dak just to be favorable to Romo. That's weird.

Dak did what Romo couldn't do: Win a road playoff game and very convincingly at that. But can McCarthy finally get the 26 year monkey off our back and win a div playoff game? You'll be surprised at my opinion.

I think we're gonna win Sunday. This is not sarcasm or anything but my opinion. I think somehow, we win Sunday and finally make it to an NFC championship game (remember those?). My brother has talked me into how Brock Purdy's magical run is coming to a close because defensive coordinators have enough video to study and will be able to game plan more effectively. We'll see what happens and it will really hinge on a) will SF's def stop the run and b) will Dak play like elite Dak or playoff Romo.

I am reminded that even if we win Sunday and finally get back to the conf championship, that the fuhrer is still the biggest GM failure in the history of football. He has had 26 tries at assembling a roster to make it to the NFC championship in the salary cap era, and he couldn't ever do it.

The difference between Dak and Romo was you knew Romo was going to show up but you just didn't know how many turnovers he was gonna have. With Dak you never know if is going to show up or if he is going to go cold for 3 quarters.

The Dak crowd asked for all the Dak hate to get its own forum and it didn't happen. So yeah if Dak plays well and its generating.....some love from fans? Just gotta deal wtih it. You guys enjoy it when he plays bad well enjoy it when he plays well.

I mean look at how ridiculous this is...."Hope" we get a thread after the 49ers game how Dak is the reason we lost. This is the stuff going through y'all head? You are actually upset that Dak is getting love ya'll are weird and I wonder why y'all even come on this site to begin with?

How are you a mod and not familiar with the crap MattJames has posted about Dak to the point it should be a bannable offense? Like really? Literally all of his posts are about Dak lol....

You knew Romo would show up? Really? You had blind confidence in Romo if you knew hew would show up. He literally played worse in the playoffs than he would in the regular season.

As a fan of both i'll tell you right now I have the same uncertinity on what we will get from Dak that I had in Romo. Anyone being honest would admit this. Hell you can say it about the Cowboys as a whole. Throughout both of their careers both teams seem to start off slow and not come in prepared.

I wish both were more consistent for sure. The bottom line for me is their QB play in playoff games and Dak has already outshined Romo in the playoffs.

I tried them once they taste like used kitty litter

Did you eat the adhesive ones from the bathtub?

 

[Runwildboys]

Maybe if Romo would have thrown 4 Td's and ran in and TD and had no turnovers (which is an NFL and Cowboys playoff record), maybe the defense wouldn't have been so tired carrying Romo in those playoff games?

Had he been playing that defense, maybe he would have.

 

[shabazz]

We were poor folks when I was growing up

I remember fighting over the big pieces with my 11 brothers and sisters.

 

[Runwildboys]

I liked the scotch With the two horses on its label cant remember the name of it have not found it in over 20 years

They've been aging it, I guess.

 

[Runwildboys]

To win Dallas needs:

1. Dak to be close to last week
2. Defense contains McCaffrey
3. Defense pressures Purdy
4. Parsons playing lights out again
5. Pollard at least 125 yards from scrimmage

Doing #2 and #3 at the same time will be tough.

Just trying to perpetuate an argument.

why

I mean, do you really think beating an 8-9 Tampa that managed 14 points was as hard as beating a prime 12-4 Green Bay team in January Lambeau or a 13-3 Minnesota team that led the league in scoring and sacks in a deafeningly loud dome?
Come on.
it could not get more opposite

 

[DFWJC]

We beat a horrible 8-9 team. Whoopty do.

Every playoff team Romo ever played on beats that 8-9 Bucs team.
Not sure why this is even a thing.

Art, I share your optimism and fully realize that may be because since the Cowboys went to their last NFCCG, they are 0-5 in Wild Card rounds and 0-6 in Divisional rounds, 0-11 in their attempt to get back to the NFCCG.

I am going with the intangibles on this one. When this rivalry was at its peak, only 10 of this current roster's players were even born but that doesn't matter. Every player that was in that game last year to end their season knows the feeling of a team telling you they're coming to spank you and take your lunch money and doing just that. However, after all of their self-inflicted wounds, they still had the chance to win that game at the end.

The HC and QB know that bitter taste in their mouths because how the very end was handled only goes away with a redemptive win and delivering that in front of their home fans seems the best way to serve payback.

And this team could not have prepared better for this away game than how they played the last one.
