Dak played good enough to win and was a big part of why we won and no big mistakes
I'm good with that

He does need to be more careful with the ball. He is having a lot of fumbles and against playoff teams it will cost us

No. No he didn't.

Minnesota has a very good defense and the passes were not there tonight. The receivers were blanketed all game - and Dak made a few key passes even when they were blanketed (see: Dez's first catch of the game on the opening drive).

He also made three key third downs himself on 3rd and long by using his feet when no one was open.

The kid played very well today and honestly he was a key ingredient in the win.
And he was moving the team up field at times when penalties happened that put us in long situations. If it wasn't for the penalties I don't think the game would have been close, Instead of being negative people should appreciate the defense. they hung in there for the most part tonight. It's about time.

That was an aggresive defense that attacked our quarterback. The majority of quarterbacks in this league would have fumbled.

Dak has 7 fumbles this season, 4 recovered by the opponent so far this season. He has 2 INT's. That is 6 turnovers out of 387 combined passing and running attempts. He turns the ball over for an average of every 77 attempts.

Tony Romo only has one season in which he fumbled less. In four seasons he had 9 or more. His turnover rate average is every 30 attempts, almost two and a half times more frequently than Dak.

In a playoff game against the Vikings in 2009 Tony Romo fumbled 3 times and all I saw posted was how poor Tony didnt have a chance because of an awful offensive line.....which had three Pro Bowlers, by the way.

But rookie has a fumble and he sucks? Wow, his runs were the big plays of the game, except his pass to Dez.

The refs missed a penalty? Heck, they missed a dozen and were nitpicking on a dozen that they did call.

Did you know that Dak has yet to have a game in which he threw more INT's than TD's?

I think some of you are so used to biatching that you don't know how not to biatch. This team is 11-1 and some of you are just looking for anything to complain about. The Cowboys won. The team won.
The same ones complaining are the same ones that make excuses when Tony throws interceptions. Some just want Tony in the game no matter what.

I continue to be amazed by the hatred of the most beautiful miracle to land in our collective laps in years.
I wish the haters would take a walk back down memory lane

I love Dak but he only had one good drive in the entire game and he had 2 key fumbles.

And don't forget the slide! That was a killer for us.

Fact: if Tony Romo played last night against that defense, he'd still be laying there on the field, and we'd have lost.


OMG if those were romos stats last night it would be:

Romo defeats a amazing defense!
Romo leads the team to another come from behind victory!
Romo hits Dez with a game changing pass!
Romo ends with a 108 passer rating!
Romo didn't throw any bone headed picks! (oh wait, that shouldn't be here)

Just stop, Tony knows Dak is the better QB, he has said this and has found his role on this team.

I don't care what mathematical formula you use. I have eyes and a brain. Prescott was bad. If that's a 100 plus QB rating performance then I'll never give any thought to that stat ever again. It's apparently meaningless.

He sucked tonight.
He was a rookie tonight. Against tight coverage he's afraid to throw it in there. Vikings set the game plan for beating Dallas. Cowboys should have lost that game. Muffed punt was a gift.

He completed almost 67% of his passes. He tossed a TD and put up 37 yards rushing that moved the chains in some critical situations and finished the game with a 108.3 passer rating and you're saying he sucked tonight? :facepalm:
Stop with the relevant facts will ya!

Dak was bad. Seriously outplayed by Bradford.

If 139 yards and two fumbles gets you a good rating, then that's a dumb stat.

Only one pass play over 15 yards?

Dak wasn't bad at all. He only threw the ball like 17 times because our offense barely had the ball the entire game. The Vikings controlled the TOP, which is usually our signature. His fumbles were not bad plays by him, they were an elite DL beating the OL off the ball. They happen.

You know what he did that Bradford didn't do? Score points for his team in the offensive opportunities he had so they could win the game.

Dak has faced defenses that are currently ranked 2nd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 10th. He defeated all of them but one and he gets another chance in 9 days. Not all have been pretty but, for the rookie, they have been 11 wins and a single loss on his first professional start.. No rookie QB is that lucky, the man has elite skills and tremendous character.

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.

That was weirdest 108 QB rating I think I've ever seen.
Looked more like an 75-80 or so.
How do you complete only 12 passes for 139 yards and get a rating that high...lol?
But regular QB rating gives no credit for runs or penalties for fumbles. Add in the gifted redzone TD pass--which would skew the rating a lot--and I can see how we got there.

The short TD pass added nearly 20 points to the rating. went from 89 to 108
We'll take it.

Good for Dak and the Cowboys!

Bottomline
11-1 baby
