Yah, he got greedy and threw that pick but he had 2 passing tds and a rushing td. Not a whole lot to complain about Dak today.
Will that stepped on left hand finger be an issue at all??
To me that pick was what reminded him to stay cool and stick to managing the game instead of doing the crazy stuff. He had a tremendous game tonight, finally the offense won a game for us.

And give credit where it's due. Yes Chicago doesn't have a good defense, yes our O line did a great job, yes Pollard had the game of his life. But Dak (and Kellen of course) orchestrated the whole thing today and their control over the whole game was just great. Especially Kellen gets beat down here a lot, but today he was flawless. And Dak had a great part in that. Cool.

Yes that turnover in the 3rd quarter got us home, but Dak won a shootout today. And not by throwing 7 touchdowns but by sticking to managing the game. Giving Pollard the room to shine was also on Dak.

Now this game should be the ultimate confidence builder for the two heavy weights coming up. And I'm looking forward to those games now.

But man, never expected Chicago to put up such a show. Fields is great.

I think he was sharp and decisive in his passing. And that pick.......well I'll live with that once in a while if it means he'll take chances and not be tentative Dak. His timing, rhythm, and accuracy was mostly good today. Run game helped open things up for him too!

Today is the way I want him to play…..<30 passes and quick hits with some runs. This is his wheelhouse :thumbup:

50/50 Dak and lamb and 100% stupid at that time whether it was a moore call or Dak audible

I agree, way too greedy with 40 seconds left that far back in your own territory. In the end it only meant a 49-29 win instead of 49-26 but in another game against another opponent calls like that could be game changers.

Most of the haters have disappeared. The ones who haven’t are saying they played a weak team which isn’t true.

Fields sucks. He is athletic.... so was Michael vick. 176 yards passing is never going to win those games in the playoffs. Yea, the bears run........ because they can't throw. Fields is probably the lowest rated qb in the entire league... ...but yea, hes great.

LoL, they scored the most points against us this season, even more than the Eagles or the GOAT. They have as many wins as the Rams or Packers. Might not be highly rated, but I liked what he did today. If their run defense wasn't so bad... who knows.

I was on him the entire week, but admit he played much better today. Ran the ball (but he is slow, lol), had more zip on the ball and hit shorter quick passes. The Bears do suck, but have to give him props

Dak was the 40-million-dollar QB today! I dog him out day in and day out so today my crow tasted pretty tonight for dinner.

I really liked how Dak looked today. Mostly accurate throws and some zip on the ball. It’s been awhile.

I think his finger will be fine. Give this team some credit. With Cooper Rush playing well, and the team winning, they knew the smart thing to do was to let Dak heal fully before bringing him back.

And we Cowboy fans should rejoice! We've got two quarterbacks that we can win with. I'm having flashbacks of 2015. When Romo got hurt, we were hozed. Remember trying to win games with the likes of Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassel at quarterback? This season, our starter goes down, and we go 4 and 1 with our backup, and then keep winning when the starter comes back. I do not miss 2015 one bit.

I think Dak will keep playing well, and we'll keep winning, but if he does go down, we've got a guy who can step in whom we can win with. Every team does not have that.

Yes he did but let’s not award him 40 M yet. We’ve seen this story before.

i have been (mildly) critical of him this season, so i should note that he was excellent today.

in general, you can't ask for much more from an offense than what we got to enjoy today.

The Bears pass for 126.9 YPG.

IN what Universe is that anything other than pathetic?
