Yes Dak tried and failed but trayvon Diggs refused to try refuse to sacrifice for his teammates and did nothing but think of himself this is why I blame him.
Everybody on that defense was giving their life's blood to keep us in this game and playing for one another and he let them all down.
I too wanted to see the pop that jarred the ball loose. I immediately thought Bland would have popped him good. I also thought Bland would have had an INT.

Diggs has an issue. He was not making business decisions before. Maybe, he thinks it's not worth it. Not sure.

No not the defense everyone on that defense played 100% over their heads.

Everyone but trayvon Diggs who let the whole defense and the team down
Still not a major factor in the loss....and certainly not as crucial as Dak's inability to play against pressure.

Diggs had a chance 2 tackle Kittle on that big 30 yard catch where he juggled it... and what he did next made me sick.

I hope we trade that neutered punk and get a real man to play cornerback
I can't go there yet with you. I think seeing what happened with Hamlin is affecting him particularly since his brother is on that team. I don't remember him whiffing as much as before that happened.

That whole post is compromised by that very first sentence. Maybe we can get a law drafted that excludes any pressure on Dak? Just for clarity is that physical or mental pressure on Dak?
I'm saying it's mental pressure and I'm saying that Dak failed but what he is being asked to do is far more difficult than trayvon Diggs throwing his body into George kittle when he is directly in front of him or catching a ball that is right in his hands.
DAk mentally has much more to process to try and do his job but he did try and do his job even though he failed.

The difference is trayvon Diggs purposely tried to avoid doing his job causing failure for the whole team.

No, your deflecting Dak's performance by highlighting a couple of Digg's plays (plays that didnt have an effect on the score).

Dak was the central problem, not Diggs.

Saying that, this season was, in part (I hope), to test young players and see whether they are worth a second contract. If that's the case CeeDee get's paid as a WR1 whilst Digg's (because of the money he'll demand) should be traded. Problem is what value can we get for him and as we know we dont tend to trade 'our own'.

Stop. Diggs plays had adirect effect on the score it could have stopped the drive interception would have stopped the points it had a direct reflection I'm deflecting .

Let's see if I can boil this down to the basics so you can understand Dak did not fail because he didn't try he failed because he was not good enough to get the job done.

Trayvon Diggs failed because he refused to try.

Dak did what he could do and it was not good enough.

Trayvon Diggs avoided the most basic football skill and that is tackling you square up hit the guy with all you got and wrap up and throw them to the ground and that ball would have been bouncing down the field incomplete or you catch the ball when it is in your hands.
Every kid that heard footsteps and had to sit on the storm sewer and wait for the teams to become uneven to get picked knows this.

Get a grip and learn to understand football it's a game of Will and want to and who wants it more trayvon Diggs let his team down because he didn't want it. Dak wanted it badly but was unable physically or mentally to get the job done.

"Dak cost us the game"

There, fixed your thread title for accuracy.....something foreign to Dak.
100% Dak was 80% the reason the Cowboys lost and Diggs had an opportunity to give the Cowboys a chance. He is supposed to be one of the best players on the Cowboys. He had two opportunities to make a play in one crucial series and failed both times. That is not a playmaker and certainly not someone you want to pay $25M/Year. He has punked out the last month or so, unwilling to play behind his pads. That is not a modern day NFL CB.

the Cowboys are stuck with Dak. they don't need to add to the misery by giving Diggs a big pay day.

Exactly!

Do you think a guy like Sauce Gardner or Ramsey doesn’t make that play!!!!!

They would’ve planted Kittle on his ***!!!

Get a grip yourself and accept that the title of this threat is at best hyperbole. Wanting to win and the team waning it more will prevail is a theory from a bygone age.

If you actually read the post I actually agree that I would trade Diggs, but laying the loss on him (rather than Dak), is a case of throwing Dead Cats.

The merge of a bunch of thread actually threw the premise of the my original thread off course. My thread title was "Can't Re-Sign Diggs". Obviously, Dak was the biggest problem yesterday, but Diggs had clear opportunities to help change momentum during the go ahead TD drive, but punked out and then choked.

I also think Moore and McCarthy should have tried to get a spark from Davis. They needed to take pressure of Dak and didn't even go there.

It's not a theory it's how physical games like this operate.

Those who will lay it on the line sacrifice for their team like Micah does every play will always beat the business decision makers.
