Dak's pick 6

Dak was awful, run blocking was awful and defense was awful.

Great game guys

We don't know the route. It could have very well be an inside route that Dez was supposed to run.
Implying that Dak threw that int on purpose is as ludicrous as them come.

I dont know why this scrub isnt a bigger discussion on this board.

Our starting FS, 1st round draft pick, clearly takes a detour and engages Thomas to avoid having to make a tackle. Demaryius didnt even want to block him. Mike Jenkins never lived down a whiff against the Giants as a rookie, yet unlike this sissy Byron, he actually had a few really productive seasons here and made some game changing plays.

If it was an inside route then why no adjustment to see that Dez clearly started outside.. so it was a flare reverse crossing route? Seems odd at the goal line.. considering that we favour (very very predictably) the back post fade almost every time we are 5 and goal.

I don't think it was deliberate.. I think it was just yet another pass that was inaccurate and behind the receiver and it got duly punished.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

why is this a ban worthy post? Look at the pass, I've never seen something thrown with such little velocity on that route directly to the corner.

Those types of passes where the reason we won our last Superbowl.

Steelers fans to this day hate ODonnell for them....even though prior to that he was viewed as one of the best QBs when it came to not turning the ball over.

Regardless what many (including myself) think of Cris Carter. This is his expert area and I loved how he analyzed and explained the two plays. Both on Dez and his analysis looked pretty convincing to me.

Dak needs to learn what type of WR he is dealing with and make sure his passes count for that

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Shhh..... not allowed to be critical of the boy king

Being critical of him making a bad pass...inferring he did it to shave points and try to help the other team win is...IDIOTIC.

 

[benson]

He obviously wasn't shaving points. I was implying I've never seen a pass so slow and targeted so directly at a corner in a 1on1 situation that one would almost think it was intended for the corner if a professional QB threw that pass.

We disagree. Chris Carter was WR so he likes to be extra critical of other Wr's. The truth is Chris Carter doesn't know and we don't know what actually happened on that INT.
What Carter does is use the cowboys attention to keep his name relevant. I take anything these paid talking heads say about the Cowboys with a grain of salt.
Just like LT was pretending to know what Zeke was saying on the sidelines, Carter pretends he knows things he can't possibly know.

 

[Hoofbite]

if it wasn't already a blowout it would have looked like he was point shaving. If anybody has a clip of it, that pass was not intended for a Cowboy

Doesn't points shaving usually involve the favorited team limiting their margin of victory so as to NOT cover the spread?

A lot of attention is being placed on the point shaving comment when it was only said to emphasize how intentional that interception looked. That one video posted doesn't even do it justice. The game footage shows an actual pass to Talib.

 

[Hoofbite]

He engaged 88 on purpose.

Yeah, that's a horrific looking play.

 

[perrykemp]

2-3 other passes could've been picked too.
Also a few should 've been caught by our guys.

Looking forward to turning the page on this game with a win in Arizona.

Nearly all of them to Dez.

It looked like he was forcing Dez the ball.

You think someone set to sign a 9 figure salary in a few years wouldn't risk a lifetime ban to make some sweet easy cash right now by point shaving? Lol
The people that come out of the woodworks after a loss always fascinate me

 

[vaturkey]

Yepper. When Dez is clamped down you have to go elsewhere. Forcing the ball works on a occasion to Dez, but the days of Dez always requiring double coverage are over.

Jones' thoughts:
"I really don't want to tackle the RB, so maybe if I just engage myself with Thomas, the coaches will think I was being blocked and won't see that I actually gave up on the play".

That reminds me a Mike Jenkins ducking away from a tackle

 

[texbumthelife]

When the team is this bad across the board you do one of three things:

1. You chalk it up to an off day and you just move on. Nothing learned nothing lost. Everyone wasnoff their game. We're better than this.

2. As a head coach, you immediately take the blame and put the onus on yourself and admit your deficiencies in preparation.

3. You're Jason garrett and you're happy because you're still .500.

 

[Proof]

I dunno, it kinda reminded me of the Revis play in 2011. People should know by now that when you see an inexplicable interception when you have no idea what the QB was doing, a lot of the times Dez is on the screen. Not exonerating anyone, but it's not a coincidence.

True. Coincidentally it’s the teams best cb. Good point.

I kinda disagree. I've been saying for awhile it's only a matter of time before some CB jumps the predictable go-to route to Dez in the end zone. We all know it's coming (either a fade or back shoulder). Three things happened in my mind:

1) The playcall is obvious; one-on-one in the red zone, the Cowboys like to go to Dez on the back shoulder or fade.

2) Talib is a good savvy ball-hawk; he won't think twice about jumping a route and knew what to look for.

3) Simply a poor and inaccurate throw by Dak.
