This is another team loss, including the coaches. But the more I think about this game the more I think that this one is 90% on Dak. The defense was shaky but only gave up 17 points. The Eagles secondary has been picked on by every team in the league just about. The problem was Dak. How many wide open receivers did he miss. There were 6 drops but only one was a decently thrown ball and that was the change-up he threw to Cooper for what should have been a first down. He was throwing passes over guys heads, behind them, and at their feet all day. I have no idea if Dak was hurt or not, but if he was throwing the ball more accurately this game would have been very different. Its seems each time he made a bad throw, it cost Dallas a 1st down. I have been a Dak supporter all year. Frankly, he played great for 10 games but them something happened. He has not been the same the last 5 games. He had a lot of time to throw today too. He had pockets, he was sacked twice because he held the ball too long. On sack he had Zeke open a yard short of the line to gain but chose to focus on covered receivers down field. This was not a good game for Dak.

Again, the defense had no real game plan. You know the Eagles use their TEs and yet Dallas left them open in the middle of the field all day. There was clearly some confusion in the secondary again, a staple of every Dallas loss.

Finally, On the 3rd down run option to Pollard where he fumbled. How many times has that play failed? They have tried that about 5 times I can remember and every time it goes for a loss. Today, it was a loss and a fumble. The Cowboys never fool anyone with those plays. They only work when the other team is undisciplined, which is why Wentz ran the same play successfully multiple times.

This team needs an overhaul of the entire coaching staff in the worst way.

How many wide open receiver did he miss? Tell us.

Sorry the drops were all catchable passes. All of them.

unless we know the play calls and can see down field beyond the camera we see on Tv we can’t know if anyone was open. Maybe the play calls had WRs running curls into a defense sitting on our routes. You don’t know. Neither do I. We can’t.
 
6 dropped passes, balls are thrown behind the receiver, over their heads or underthrown all game

Only 5 carries in the first half and 13 touches all game for Zeke? Unacceptable!

Defense comes out in soft coverages vs a team with garbage WRs letting them hit the TEs on hooks and RBs in the flat or screen passes over and over.

Special teams are a total disaster in every aspect of the game except Kai who hit 3 FGs.

Why the heck are WRs and RBs pulling themselves from the game in critical moments? Been happening all damn season.

Losing to a team with at least 7 starters including all 3 of their WRs injured is beyond embarrassing.

He didn't miss any receivers. He was throwing the ball like Drew Brees today. its not his fault that his receiver aren't all 9 ft tall and can't reach 3 ft behind themselves to catch those catchable passes. I am not excusing the drops, but I am saying that Dak was horrible today.

WRs were pulled by the coaches. This is already settled. Why stick with a disingenuous narrative.
 
Yes, Dak was off on some throws, but all of those drops should have been caught by the receivers. Pretty obvious Dak's injured shoulder was bothering him, but what other option was out there? Cooper Rush? Plus, when was Amari Cooper able to beat such backup DBs and get consistently open on his own? Maybe 1 or 2 plays? Why was Amari taking himself out for plays upon plays, especially on key downs when he was needed? The same goes for Zeke and Lawrence (on D)? 3 of the highest paid players on the team, but they were taking themselves out all game long for plays at a time. Would Michael Irvin, Emmitt Smith or Charles Haley ever had agreed to take themselves out for plays at a time during a Week 16 game AT THE EAGLES with the season and the playoffs on the line WHILE BEING AMONGST THE HIGHEST PAID ON THE TEAM??? Hell no! They would not even have allowed the coaches or owner convince them to come out.

Which pass required a 9 foot tall WR? Cooper jumped about 3 inches off the ground and easily got 1 hand on the ball. No idea why he didn’t make a better effort.

I don’t remember all of these 12 foot high passes. Jog my memory

look at wentz, he was high on 1/2 his passes, and if dak wasnt playing good a real HC would put the bkup
in. Cooper should have went in in the 2nd qtr, and at least by 3rd.

The main problem I have with dak is he throws to the #1 read , and looks at him whole time,
then throws it no matter the coverage.
One miss to amari, gallup was wide open underneath way before dak threw to amari.

Also dak should have use his legs today from pocket, but he didnt run at all.
