We sometimes act like Dak gave up 5 turnovers with these threads, lol. Im surprised we were so inefficient in the red zone today, but there really was no where for Dak to go with the football in these situations. Even on the end zone int, the only place he could have gone was behind him and wouldn't have been a TD. Still would have been better for him to throw it away.

When Dak plays like crap I will call him out, but this game was lost by penalities, defenses inabilility to stop the run, and red zone plays that were well defended by the cardinals. When you’re down by 2 posessions late in the 4th you're just hoping for a miracle which wasn't in the cards
We can make excuses all we want about other players not playing well, but that end of game sequence was concerning why are we running the ball down 2 possessions? The QB has to throw the ball at some point and it’d looked like we as a team had no confidence in Dak to make a good decision.

Every time we got down to the goal line today, it was essentially first and goal from the 10.. not only was the play calling suspect... but dak was not great by any means. He has to be better.

For the life of me I don't understand why we don't use more read option down there. It's very difficult to defend and dak can run.

This is the problem. Dak can play good enough until the defense tightens up with a short field (red zone). Let's take out say 25y - 25y plays and focus on the redzone. Still a so-so game? We kicked a bunch of FG's vs the Jets also.
You can't take out part of the game if doing an objective analysis :). The Cowboys did struggle in the red zone today, but if you watched the game you would see the defense didnt give much. No seperation, need to spend time dissecting the red zone offense.

True it's not all on any one player .... but the fallacy of many dak defenders (who try to be fair) is they acknowledge the obvious mistakes but not his inability to make the difficult plays. That's as much as or more the reason why he isn't a top level QB.

if you feel you are good from the 25 to 25 then the objective analysis would come from missed opportunities right? :) For real though, limitations only take you so far.

That run sequence is what we should have been running earlier inside the 10, it was odd to all of sudden go that direction late in the game.

Call me a Dak apologist if you want. I know that pick was a boneheaded throw. Not excusing that.

But if you want to single that one play out as the one that lost the game you couldn't be more wrong. This defense was gashed all game long, penalties piled up like dirty laundry, and all people want to do is moan about an interception that occurred when the team was down multiple scores anyway.

A lot of things went wrong today. Dak's pick is on the list, but it's far from the main concerns.

The problem with Dak is consistency. It allows the Dak lovers only to see his good plays/games and the Dak haters only to see his bad plays/games. But I swear 1 out of every 3 games Dak implodes on himself in some fashion, and you can’t win a SB like that because you have to win at least 3 in a row against tough competition when it matters
