Steelers only lost because Fields is worse than Dak. But every year, for 9 years now, we go through the same crap. Dak stans making posts like this all season, until post season, where all but a select few throw in the towel (AC, et al), then that diminishes over the off season, then the Dak love train starts up all over again. Dak beats a couple bad teams and suddenly he's top 5 again, and around and around we go.
Every year, without fail. It's amazing to me. It's like half this board has the shortest memory in the history of humanity. We all know how this season is going to end.

The Detractors will never give him any credit with anything short of a Super Bowl.

If we’d lost that game all of the blame would have been on Dak. He should receive some credit for leading us on final drive and play to win.

If you want credibility for all of the criticism you must provide some accolades when appropriate.

Dak threw the ball better than earlier in the season Xinday. The CeeDee sideline throw. The Tolbert sideline throw. The one dropped into Turpin over the middle.

More importantly, the receivers didn't have to make acrobatic catches constantly.

Bit he's on pace for 13ish int. Not good.

I always enjoy Chase Daniel's film breakdown on the Cowboys. He is always spot on. Thanks for sharing.

Dak played great, except for his 2 interceptions (terrible and unnecessary decisions). He needs to stop being such an unnecessary risk taker.

At the 13:15 minute mark, Chase Daniel explains how Dak went to his 5th progression...yes, 5th progression...to find a late-opening Rico Dowdle for a 23 yard TD pass! This pretty much destroys the frequent naysayers who repeatedly and falsely state Dak can't make more than a 2 progression read!

Great film breakdown. Dak played great (other than his 2 unnecessary interceptions). Thanks again for sharing.
That's all he has to do ...not lose his head on a couple plays. Otherwise...keep on keeping on!

We also have to curb the Dak praisers. If it's a "team game" when we lose...it is also a "team game" when we win.

He had Lamb wide open on the underneath crossing route, but the slightest of hesitation allowed the rush to get there. I know the critique of Dak here is that he wasn't perfect on the play, but 3rd and 1 he needs to make that throw when his top WR has no one within 5 yards. This is probably a really good example of why we don't see the Cowboys running more play action this year.....your QB is naturally going to be a thousandth of a second slower after having his back turned to the defense, and this OL doesn't hold up consistently enough.
Thanks, I tried to find the play again because I hate making a case based on memory alone. It is like I said though, he's bad at getting rid of the ball. Thing is it's a mentality. The idea is that you're going to hold onto that ball until you can make a play. I'd wager there's quite a few plays been made holding on too long also. I say that because I can see why it's harder to do than it appears on the surface.

That's because a lot of us realize that GB loss (for example)was far from on Dak alone. Other short memories forget how catastrophically bad the defense was as well as the entire team and yet somehow it's all about the QB.

The thing with Dak is he's good enough to win it all, but only with defense and a run game doing it's part. Any encouragement I have is based on that. I can believe in the qb when I know the rest of the team will do their part.

There's no delusion here, only Mahomes and maybe a couple other guys in the league can overcome a lack of D and run game.

The throw to turpin in the seam and the one to Ceedee on the sidelines were elite passes. I can't think of another qb outside of Mahomes that can make those passes.

Some credit is one thing you went so far as to say he alone saved the season and that is idiotic

The intentional grounding 3rd and inches play was abysmal. That sequence was horrid. A vet QB should never commit that kind of error.

The fumble happened bc he held onto the ball too long and now has concrete in his feet. He is now plodding compared to his agility a few years ago. It happens with age for sure— but he has to compensate for his lack of mobility by getting rid of the ball faster and intelligently throwing the ball away instead of trying to make something happen every down.

The INTs were also poor decisions and cost us points. He needs to dial down some of the risk taking and work more on tempo, tone, efficiency, and playing crisp, clean football. The points will come when he leads this team with poise and precision.

All that said— he threw some dimes on Sunday night, and made some big plays that helped us eek out the W. I am glad we won, but truthfully we should have walked away with a 10+ point comfortable win instead of heart-attack last second TD pass.

I am hopeful the offense is starting to round into form. It is what happened at this point last season. Huge game vs Detroit this week. Would be awesome if he plays his best game of the year and helps us go into the bye with some hope and momentum
give me the alternate to all that is he won the game, period end of story, it was in a hostile environment, outdoors on the road in grass ,with a little bit of inclement weather that happened ,so the turf was a little we, who knows how that affected the game with a long layover and what not.

If you do not want to read the rest, I'm goanna tell you this it was Prescott and this offense's best game despite the mistakes the long time consuming drives kept the defense rested kept their offense off the field with limited opportunities literally had I think 6 drives inside the 22 yard line let's just say the 30.. Just because it ended up in points and blow this team out it still was the best game of the year for all of them in my opinion ,all the balance run game with the pass game ,in that environment.. they'll clean up the mess but I think this is a launching point for the rest of the year this is a game-winning last drive but you look at all the other drives it was the best this offenses moved all year when they weren't supposed to this defense was supposed to shut this offense down and it did not..

When a quarterback gives you 6 drives in a game on the road that he was supposed to lose against a top five quality defense and happens to turn the ball over but we forget that those turnovers were not the same as giving up short fields giving up quick points they literally were time consuming drives they ate up the clock it kept the other teams offense off the field and kept our defense super rested those long drives happened because of puscott the turnovers were not all his fault but yes some of them turned out that way but because of him moving offense the way he did all day that's why we won the game it wasn't just a game-winning touchdown he helped our defense so much and kept their offense limited from getting any way to get back in the game quick the turnovers were just basically punts we punted one time all game so yes if you look at it from a perspective instead of being a hater I realize that you're telling the truth and it's factual but you're missing some of the other parts you're leaving out there are moving parts to the game like the offensive line the blocking the receiver is not running the right route or getting deep enough yes it happens it's a team game that's why it's a team win but Prescott's the reason we won the game even with the turnovers.. Sure we made it tough on ourselves at the end of the game and needed the game-winning touchdown drive but this happens we're not supposed to be dissecting a player's game when he wins cause those things with actual facts attached to him like a little* we don't win that game without Prescott even the drives that ended in turnovers oh by the way don't sweep under the road that is this two in a row now like Brandon aubrey's special teams the kicking game they miss a 51 yarder that would have sealed the game I believe in New York and I believe this was the only other field goal since gets blocked that's three points. That should have been an easy play no one's talking about that that's another drive Prescott put them inside the 30 yard line and they didn't come away with point.... on the special teams not the offense....

But you are correct there were mistakes made but you should be looking at in a positive manner how the heck do you beat the Pittsburgh Steelers who were three and one at the time can't take that away from them don't backtrack don't move the goal posts on the road long rain delay on grass and then you're down you get yourself in a pickle when they scored that touchdown with the little shovel pass to the tight end and they scored I think everybody here thought the game was over but Prescott carried them down the field recovers the fumble throws a touchdown and wins it all we can do is look at those negative parts of the game..​
That is why they look at the film they'll try to get on the same page the blocking needs to be better so you don't get sandwiched by both pass rushers city land needs to not change the route and even though he said he would rather have been thrown high for a jump ball he did not run the route Prescott thought he was supposed to run that's on both players there's a story that all those interceptions....​

You guys can gloss over this all you want but dak Prescott one interception of CD lamb once again and he does this too often goes off script the ball was thrown to a spot this is no longer re react and the receiver gets to choose the route he runs and hopes that the the quarterback sees the same thing no it was called to be a back shoulder pylon fade see you lamb thought maybe it wasn't gonna be open so he took the ball upfield Prescott already threw the ball it happens it was a misread on both peoples parts it was a bad decision for both players he did that in the Green Bay game you want to blame him for that no he was supposed to finish the crossing route the slant he doesn't he stops goes up field right as Prescott released the ball he gets a pick 6 Prescott gets blamed for it yes the one he threw trying to make something happen downfield he was expecting tober to get more depth and he didn't it was just a chance to try to make a big play and it didn't happen so yeah it's a mistake but it happens every week to lots of quarterbacks..​

And on the fumble he's running away from TJ Watt jailbreak on the right side jailbreak on the left side 51 comes and sandwiches dude at full speed hits the ball it's just dumb luck the ball came out, that wasn't a a buttery fingers type of thing, it wasn't like a mental mistake, the man was trying to get away from TJ probably to throw the ball away or maybe just get back a line of scrimmage and then there's another guy coming full speed from the other direction how about we blame the offensive line,

you know what it was a mistake yes he fumble the ball it happens it's been happening to jalen hurts and go look at Patrick mahomes last 12 games it's eye opening about how many turnovers he's had and how the lack of touchdowns he's been getting credit for wins like they started out undefeated go breakdown those games and you'll find some quarterbacks making mistakes as well that's supposed to be elite you know like 3.7 yards in airtime one of the lowest of his career he's getting the ball out and dudes are doing the rest this is Andy Reid's offense helping them win games with a lot of yac yards.

I said in OP he saved the season “ for now”. I also said if we’d lost he’d of been bashed.

Too many just respond to a title which is created to drawn fans in.

And in later post the defense was credited as well.

You'll be paying attention this Sunday just like the rest of us.
It all goes back to the basis of the talking points . Dak suks until we are playing for a championship. And if he doesn’t win he’ll still suk. Maybe not quite as much:)

Based on that brilliant analysis most NFL QB’s suk. Lol

I would rather see him air it out a bit more than always keeping it short but they need to tidy up the execution whether it's on him or the receivers we can't turn over the ball three times a game.
