Those years with Romo where it seemed to come down to the final game and we would lose was heart breaking also.
I do say win's and losses are a team thing, but the QBs play can greatly impact the outcome of the game. There's a reason that they keep W/L records for QBs and not other positions. They are the most important position. Therefore, when the team loses they usually get the brunt of the blame, just like when they win they get most of the credit. The QB can play well and the team lose also, it happens all the time, but in those examples that the poster I replied to provided the QB did not play well. Also, in the Philly game in week 16 of 2019 the QB for the Dallas Cowboys did not play well. I feel that is the reason we lost those games. If the QB would have played even slightly above average in those games we would've won and waltzed into the playoffs.
You don't have to agree, but you won't change my view of those particular performances.
P.S. It's not just that one game for Dak. If you read the post I replied to that poster brought up other examples. I just added one that he left out.
you are entitled to your opinion, and that wasn't one of Dak's best performances. he did play injured, but no excuse.
yes, QBs carry the brunt of wins/losses simply because they are highest paid on a team usually.
with that said, in all the hoopla around Dak, all other areas that were abysmal in that game are being ignored......
the Defense played pretty bad....gave up 430 yards. wentz went 31/40, about
78% completion rate....that's not good. in fact down right awful..
Zeke was able to only rush for 47 yards averaging 3.6 yards. that's the highest paid RB in the league.....and as a team we rushed for 54...that's abysmal.
cooper disappeared in a big game, yet again...only had 24 yards on 4 catches...that's on 12 targets.....that's abysmal ....
special teams once again was bad...we averaged 20 yards on two returns, they averaged 28....that gives them great field position to start
they punted the ball just 4 times all game...on 12 possession and they got in field goal range 3 times, missing 2.... that shows how bad the defense played.
they held the ball for 36 minutes, mostly because they rushed effectively (30 rushes) and 78% completion rate on 40 passes.....that's down right awful
in a 10-6 contest. offense puts a drive together, gets down to philly 26 and Pollard fumbles.....you just can't fumble in a critical, close game like this...
all the dak detractors want to point to second philly game in 2019 and build an entire case of his career around it, yet these little facts are lost in the debate. so tell me how that was good defensive play...but most point to season averages. yet focus on single game in 2019 to assess how Dak did in 2019 and blame the loss on him. so looking at defensive performance in that single game, tells me the defense sucked. sucked royally
and to top it off, the play calling and coaching in this game, once again atrocious ....the way Moore/Garrett managed that game was confusing.
so although everyone points to season this, season that, blah blah, 2019 Philly game, Dak played bad blah blah....no one wants to look at the rest of the team's performance......including coaching....why? because it defeats their argument.
and as I said, that wasn't one of Dak's best games.....
