Dak is now 1-10 as a Cowboys starter when the Cowboys trail by 10 or more in the 1st half

Not good numbers at all for a NFL QB which means if you are a betting man, you can check the game in progress and make a live bet that the team ahead will win the game. Those are not good numbers for a starting QB

Mr. Clutch ain’t so clutch. Game manager reliant on the running game to wear defenses down, so he can move the ball in the fourth as long as the game us close.

Last night is the only night he could have overcome it, but there were TWO red zone drives in the fourth and he cave away with a FG and zero.

Dallas defense is ranked SECOND only to New England in terms of points allowed in the fourth quarter. They are even better that the Vikings.

Like I said, the comparison between Dak and Romo’s situation being alike is a myth and a joke.

Wrong week to be blaming a loss on the QB. This loss goes all on the back of our defense and our head coach. In fact, if it weren't for Dak we would have beaten a lot worse than we were.

The reason 10 is chosen and it’s logical, because it’s a minimum of two scores, inclusive of one TD.

Imagine if our defense wasn't so bad. would probably be 10-1. I mean if your offense doesn't score the first 2 drives how many other teams go down 14-0 after the first 2 drives of almost every game.

Didn't help that our coach decided to kick the long FG giving the Vikings the ball at midfield.

Maybe it says more about the coaches not being able to adjust to what is going wrong.

This was the DRIVE in the fourth before the last one. Look at the run to pass breakdown as soon as they got within ten yards to the end-zone.


4 10:53 1 6 MIN 6 Ezekiel Elliott left guard for 1 yard (tackle by Anthony Barr) 28 21 5.830 5.150
4 10:13 2 5 MIN 5 Dak Prescott PASS incomplete short left 28 21 5.150 4.260
4 10:07 3 5 MIN 5 Dak Prescott PASS incomplete short middle intended for Jason Witten 28 21 4.260 3.010
4 10:03 4 5 MIN 5 Brett Maher 23 yard field goal good 28 24 3.010 3.000
4 10:00 DAL 35 Brett Maher kicks off 65 yards, touchback.

Dallas is 17th in red zone efficiency. Last night didn’t help their red zone efficiency.

Analytics and stats lie. You stated in your brilliant comment about being second to NE in the fourth quarter.

This game was lost by spotting the Vikings 14 points in the first quarter. Otherwise, using your stats dancing, Dallas allowed the Vikings to only score 14 points in three quarters.

See how that works?

It's not Dak's fault. It is the coaching staff's fault. They tie Dak's hands until they fall behind and then makes Dak dig the team out of a hole. If they led with the passing game more the team would be better.

This doesn't say that the O line failed to block on 2nd down and dak made a great play to not take a sack. It also doesn't say that witten got tackled in the endzone and the PI wasn't called. It was a good attempt tho.
