Could have fooled me.

FYI...we won 40-0 in week 1.

FYI, even if that was a TD vs an INT we still lost that game because our defense didn't stop them all game. But keep bagging on Dak.
Ken, are you not concerned that we can't do squat in the RZ? It's not a knock on Dak. Heck, 2 holding penalties weren't even called in the EZ today. It is just disappointing because there are high hopes. The redzone has been a problem.

The defense received a blow this week and did not play with confidence today, period. My hat goes off to AZ. They did a great job of scheming against us.

I was just waiting…

Moore started off 3-0 here, including Dak throwing for over 400 yards and 4 TDs against the Giants in 2019. But by the Miami game, even though the offense poured it on when Moore went up-tempo, Dak was complete garbage the first half. Then Dallas went into a tail-spin with his garbage play, until they beat up some really bad teams that made his fan-boys think he was “elite”.

Anybody that thought the offense didn’t take a step down with the departure of Moore was just trying to find validate in the scapegoat argument. They actually look worse. Anytime you got to dumb down an offense, when you gave a top-tier RG, you are mediocre. This is not like an elite QB getting help from the RG type of situation.

Dallas was 21st in the red-zone last week and they probably took a major step down. Dallas was FIRST last year and SIXTH the year before. They played two horrible offenses two games prior to today, one of them against Zach Wilson. When you get out to big leads against bad offenses because of a top-tier defense, there is zero pressure as a QB to perform. This has always been Dak’s MO,

His problems are when the game is slow, decisions have to be made that have greater consequences and he has to play from behind. He is mentally slow. The guy just sits there staring. He stares down his early reads. His horrible accuracy on large part because he is slow and needs to see his WRs open.

This guy should have apparently had a pick 6 last week, was aided by some questionable calls to keep drives alive and just dumb penalties by the Jets players. His INT again, into triple coverage, staring his WR down the whole time was again evidence of how bad he is.

Nothing of the first two games told us anytime about this Cowboys team other than Dak being the crutch once again. His fanboys were yapping the glory of McCarthy on a pick play in a bunch formation to Lamb, as if Moore wasn’t running plenty of bunch formations. This is how much they’ve been grasping at straws trying to find some validation for Dak.

He’s on YEAR 8. Even Moore was working with him for three prior years, meaning when he came into the picture as OC, it wasn’t some new thing where he was completely oblivious to his tendencies or even how the overall offense was working.

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.
Dallas has been top 10 in red zone efficiency the last 2 seasons with Dak. Lot of time is needed in the film room this week on what went wrong in this game and why plays weren't working.

They greatly simplified this offense for him this year and he can't even make basic reads. He is consistently late with the ball to his checkdowns and can't place the ball routinely where it needs to be. He is not ever going to get us to where we need to be. Joshua Dobbs made Dak look like a potato out there today.

Brock Purdy wins that game. Time to take a chance on another QB.
I hate to say it but I agree. In fact, I think Purdy, Love, Cousins, and many others win this game. Daniel Jones DID win it.

The fact that McCarthy called so many run plays with us down by 2 scores is insanely telling that he does not trust Dak to do anything but drive the bus

Nailed. Glad I’m not the only one that remembered this start to the 2019 season.

I'm very concerned.

I'm most concerned with the weird injuries during the week, the lack of separation by Cooks, and how our defense let's journeymen carve them up.

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
That's the problem with the Cowboys in general. Jerrah is the root of that.

Unfortunately what this just shows is you can simplify the passing game all you want, but there will still be times when the QB has to throw the ball in a crowded area, and the ability to do that is what separates winners from losers.
NO QB should be throwing into triple coverage... if you have that there IS somewhere on the field better to go with the ball. Pulling the ball into your gut and Running it is better than doing that.

I think Dak is a good man, a brilliant man. He got a multi-million dollar contract without being a starting caliber NFL QB. I’m sure he sleeps quite well on his sleep number mattress: it’s probably stuffed with $100 bills lol.

CeeDee Lamb was clearly frustrated. You don't even give your best guy a chance?
So...

1. You can't read the field cleanly to throw the open guy

and

2. You won't throw to your #1 and give him a chance

I could not agree more. The defense covered for him. That's why we got posts like Dak, didn't have to play well but drive the bus. He just cannot be counted on to put the team on his back. Today, he had one moment where I thought he might just have turned the corner, but it was a pipe dream.

I like Dak. He has an inspirational story. However, he does not do anything on the field to elevate his game or those around him with any consistency. That is what is truly disappointing about him as the football player.

You're right,any fan base still sticking up for dak should be laughed at.
Yeah, it’s as bad as anyone still rooting for loser Romo. Him and Dak have sucked ***. We should get Clint Stoerner, Ryan Leaf, or Quincy Carter in here, clearly QB has been the problem for almost 3 decades. Good post!
