It’s almost as he is forcing balls to rack up stats.

Lean on the run game and let them carry us.

We need him to stop turning the ball over
Have you seen Dak's stats since he returned?

The Cowboys got away from the run game AGAIN yesterday. That is on Kelly and Big Mike.

Dak had a pass tipped and his arm got hit. Not exactly things he can control.

Dak also needs to create a better right tackle than Ball so his arm doesn't get hit throwing that curl to Schultz which would have been good for a first down but the defender slapping him right on the biceps inexplicably caused the throw to come up short. I can't for the life of me figure out why.. Fortunately once they put Peters in there all that noise got shut down. Can't wait to see this line with Tyron and Peters at the tackle spots.. Mah goodness!!!
this tells me how much ball sucks if peters, who was retired, 40 years old, hasn't played RT in over 15 years steps right in and stablizes the offense that allowed to march down the field.

He has got to realize it’s a team game and it’s not all on him. It’s almost as he is forcing balls to rack up stats. Zeke is as good as I have seen him in years and pollard is a star. Lean on the run game and let them carry us. We don’t need all these force throws to win. We need him to stop turning the ball over and let the team rally around him. Oh and Kellen Moore needs to stop pulling the fullback in short yardage.

Rayne is 26-6 vs. the NFC East for his career these are the teams you should have very little concern over him being scripted to overcome

All we hear is how great the O line is playing. Well, how good are they really? To your point, they're better run blocking. What stands out most in pass blocking is pressure and Dak not following through on throws because there's defenders in the backfield.

Dal is what he is. He’s making bad decisions with the football. Throwing picks every week is gonna come to bite them very soon. I think they lose to Jacksonville this week and start a slump where they lose 2 to 3 in a row.

Taylor Heinecke beat the Eagles.

Dak will be okay and and so will the Cowboys so long as they stop the self inflicted wounds. We've seen how good this team can be already.

"so long as they stop the self inflicted wounds"
Have we seen any evidence this will happen long enough for us to win several consecutive games in the playoffs?

The Commanders best the eagles by running the football, getting off the field on defense on 3rd down and controlling time of possession. The key to win is really making Dak play like Rush.

Agree with this. Jags still have a decent chance at winning their division. They play hot and cold but if they are on a going day then they beat the Cowboys unless Parsons comes back with a monster game to carry the team.

Running the ball is a good theory however I promise you the eagles will have at least 8 people in the area of the box challenging the running game and forcing dak to throw deep. He will hold the ball.
We may not like the results
We could beat TB because for the first time yesterday Tom looked his age.

He just needs to hit the open receiver and not his feet or five yards over his head. It's pretty simple.

That's not true. QB's work on their game all through their career, at least the ones that stick around do.
I could name so many that stuck around for years and never evolved into anything more than a backup,we have one on our team btw, Cooper rush,I'm sure Cooper studies every day,and he'll never evolve to more than he is.. sorry to say but Dak is gonna be 30 next year,and I repeat,he's volved out...he is what he's always gonna be , consistently inconsistent.
