Dak was a bus driver and I liked it

[GimmeTheBall!]

What a workmanlike, careful and unspectacular job Dak turned in.
Yet 40 points were tallied.
Chaps, I could live with this and a gutsy, aggressive D.

 

[Jipper]

In that rain, with that defense, that was a great game plan and he did what he needed to do. There is zero to be upset with last night

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He didn't force anything that wasn't there. and he didn't turn the ball over. When you have a defense like that and a lead like that, you don't take chances.

 

[charron]

Let's just hope they get better offensively. 1 game in and I'm really missing Schultz after fergy caught only 2 of 8 passes.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Very Trent Dilferish.

Yeah that group has to get better.

Totally agree! There are going to be games he has to step up and make plays. He’s not off the hook after one game but I’m gonna enjoy this beat down until we’re on the field again.

I don’t know if I could critique. Tight end dropping footballs. The first missed extra point. Good thing the difference put some points of burly so the offense to get their feet under themselves.

Dak was a massive non factor and the running game was less than impressive. But they got the job done. The offense is going to have to work on keeping the ball longer or the defense will eventually wear down. If this is how the offense is going to be all season they could be in a bit of trouble.

It was a good performance overall, but I do question the quality of the opponent. Do this against SF or Philly and we may be on to something.

Shultz caught 2 passes on 4 targets for 4 yards we’ll be fine at TE

The conditions were terrible yes they had 2 drops but Schultz is slow and a bad blocker

Don’t miss him a bit YET

Philadelphia was lucky New England made those early mistakes. They did not look that good in the second half.

Valid point, but I still think they will be one of the top teams in the NFC.

Zero complaints about Dak from me…..no need for gaudy stats when the defense is scoring and getting short field for the offense. Great team victory!

But when the defense has their off days we WILL need our QB to come up big for the team.

Critique yes always things to critique, but there was nothing upsetting last night…dropped balls in rain and a missed extra point on his first nfl kick are not bad at all…super excited for next week

 

[Denim Chicken]

Rainy day and the offense still knocking off dust--despite this they still moved the ball pretty well.

I expect the offence to be good. Even with the drops that would have boosted Dak's statline, he still outplayed Burrow

 

[Streifenkarl]

Best of the "what Dak did" threads. I see it the same way and that's what I'll expect from him this year. He doesn't have to push the ship forward, just steer and keep it away from the rocks.

If the defense will continue to be that good, with guys like Lamb that's all he'll have to do.

In that weather I just can't and won't complain about his play. 40-0 lol.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Still need to finish drives. Too many FG's.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Extremely wet conditions. There were times when rain was thick as soup. All things considered, offense did extremely well. Only fumble was luckily recovered. Drops will stop next game.

I wouldn't say he's a bus driver. But this was the poised Dak we usually saw most years except for last year. Nothing fantastic, but confident with no turnovers. If you have to throw for 300-400 yards, you're either behind, or in a dog fight. I rarely compliment Dak, but he looked as poised as ever.
