He can't play like this and expect to win the SB.
At least we won

We can't play like this as an offense an expect to reach the SB. Dak was far bad last night facing the #1 defense in the league. Penalties were negating plays and putting us in 3rd and long situations all night. We had something like a 3rd and 29 on one drive. If a QB doesn't pass for over 300 yards and 2-3 TD's some here think it's a poor performance. Facing 3rd and long most of the game Dak came through with some big plays especially with his legs allowing us to move the chains on some critical 3rd downs. He continues to amaze with his poise and clutch play when games are on the line.

Wow, if you would have told me 4 months ago that Dak would lead the team to 11-straight wins and we would be nitpicking his game I wouldn't have believed it was possible. I still don't. Without Dak's clutch runs last night against an elite defense the Boys would have lost.

I don't think I believe that. Conceeding this is Dak's team in no way can be translated into that at all. Tony just sees how we are performing and is being a good soldier now.
More importantly, the team believes it

Bradford completed third downs, so he got to throw it more. Simple.
No Dallas is a running team. Throwing the ball less doesn't mean he didn't play better. He averaged more yards per throw then Bradford.

That fumble wasn't on Dak nor would it have been on any QB. When a guy comes up from the blind side, completely unblocked, while the QB is trying to throw, that is going to happen. And likely nobody would have a good game behind that oline last night. That was just something else.

I think both Dak and Zeke had just about the best game possible with how the lined played and how the playcalling was last night.

No I completely agree with you on the fumble but I've been around numerous fans when the same exact thing happened to Romo and somehow he got blamed for it.

Perhaps if Dak completed more balls, the TOP would have been different? Bradford didn't get a turnover inside the 10-yard line for his team to take advantage. The fumbles were a bobbled snap and a sack-fumble, which has happened FOUR times to him this year. He completed 12 passes, with only one for more than 20 yards.

I love Dak, but let's just call it what it was. Ugly.

He had a 66% completion percentage, which is fine. They only ran like 45 offensive plays, lol. Dak simply did not play poorly. If your RT decides to be a turnstile against one of the elite defenses in the league, your QB will get sacked and maybe fumble.

Yep. This was an ugly game, but Dak and his legs won this one.
Offense as a whole was horrible. If you want to give credit to anyone for that win, it should go to the Defense, as shocking as that may sound.
