RAN THE BALL???? What are they talking about, Love looked like the 2nd and 3rd coming of Arron Rogers! The DQ lead defense couldn't shutdown GB's passing game. I've never seen so many open receivers and when I say OPEN, I mean OPEN. There was nobody around Packer receivers when they were hauling in Love's passes.
167 yds rushing. That is what they are talking about.

So, defense cannot have a bad day, but Dak can go ahead and stink it up and keep putting the defense is short yards for the other team to score.

God forbid we ask Dak top pick up the defense for once. EVERYTHING has to be laid out for Dak to pad the numbers, keep him comfortable, and give him half the cap so he is talked about with Mahomes.

:cool:

Dak is not my only issue with the team. I'm hopeful we get a coach who doesn't see Dak the way you do and treats him like Sean Peyton treated Russ. No celebrity QB crap...no political crap. Just on the field mental toughness or get out.

I know you are a Dak fan but man...this devotion is absurd. The team , the team, the team...
Dak is best for the team right now. He's proven it.

What is your solution to something/someone better?

How many bad days has the defense had? It damn sure is more than just one. And that last one has the team sitting home.

I agree….no way would I put this loss on Dak. I mean come on….the guy threw 3 TDs, over 400 yards and ran for 45 yards. His offense scored 32 points. I know he threw two pics, one a pic 6, which is probably on him, but you have to give the packers secondary some props too…they were often contesting the receiver like a glove on a hand. The interception by JAlexander is case in point. He was the glove on Cooks, the hand. Dak tried to squeeze it in on 3rd and 5. Cooks got outmuscled. I don’t fault Dak for that. It also looked close to PI, but nevertheless, give the Packer guy some credit…he was right there.

Speaking about the secondary….how many times did you see a Packer receiver wide open with no one contesting him? I saw it a lot. Dallas not only couldn’t stop the run, but couldn’t stop the pass. It is pretty tough to win when your defense can’t get a big 3 and out stop. I know Quinn is taking the heat for the defense, but what about the players? Do they get any of the blame? How come Dallas had no sacks? Was that all on Quinn? How come Parsons only had one tackle and no sacks? Was that on Quinn too? How come Dallas had no turnovers? Quinn’s fault too? Maybe you can blame Quinn for all of the above, but I’m pretty sure Quinn is not allowed to tackle, to defend against the pass, to rush the QB, and to fill gaps.

And what was wrong with CD last night? He looked off his game too….it seemed he couldn’t make the big catch, had a few drops, and something was upsetting Dak leading to many conversations.

I know it is natural to want to put the loss on somebody…and that somebody is usually the guy you haven’t liked all season. I know many here are not a McCarthy fan, so I’m sure those people will blame him…..I know some here don’t like Dak, so I’m sure those people will blame him, ….you get my drift. I bet though not one Cowboys fan here will put the loss on Parsons’ back for only getting one tackle and no sacks. But clearly, unlike Dak, he has nothing to show for his 60 minutes of work. It just doesn’t make sense to me for anyone to want to put this loss solely on a guy who was responsible for 450 yards, 3 TDs and 32 points even with the pic6. So, If you absolutley need a scapegoat, be bold and put it on your Superman LB, Micah Parsons For his lack of results.

Also if the offense had been reasonably efficient and not turned the ball over would it have afforded the defense options? Putting 0 points on the board while at the same time turning the ball over multiple times in a half is going to affect the defense some way. You can just claim that the defense is playing in a vaccum and isn't affected by anything the offense is or isn't doing.

Dak was responsible for minus 7 points in the first half. Think, man.

Those yards were trash time yards. This game was not anywhere near as close as the score.

No, Dak had the team setting home. He couldn't match what essentially is a rookie QB. That QB overcame out D. Dak handed the bowl to their defense.

lol

You call people names all the time if they don't bow down to Dak... but yet outside of Rex you and maybe 3 people here, everyone else in the world (including Dak) are intellectually honest enough to admit Dak had a bad game.

Prevent defense all fourth quarter so I expect that stat line.

Dak and the Defense sucking can both be true... but you still are all in on not admitting he is not the guy. Who is the guy will be what you ask back to me, to which I don't now, but all I know is where we are now is where we will be for the foreseeable future until we make drastic changes.
Wouldn't be the first time the rest of the world was wrong and I was right.

Happens quite often actually. I don't think with the masses. I actually think it through.

I mean Dak can't get all the blame, but he definitely shares in the blame. This game is why I said this team needs to receive the ball first. It sucks the life out of our team when the other team takes the opening kick and drive it right down our throats.

Best game analysis of national sports morning shows. Rex Ryan gives Dak a break, but Dan Orlovsky goes hard on him. All 3 though agree that DQ was schooled by GB. Green Bay set up a clinic on how to deal with Dallas defense. Recommend you watch video to see the gameplay they break down. Can't bulletin point it.



Rex Ryan
  • This defense stunk! I don't know why they got outcoached but point to defense period!
    • They struggle with teams that run the ball.
    • 9 1/2 yards on 1st down the Cowboys gave up! That's incredible!
    • Why are you playing 6 DBs for 48/54 snaps against the run??? You don't do that when you're getting your brain kicked in.
  • Dak Prescott is the future of the team. Played MVP all year and talking about not going to bring him back??
    • Overall performance, hell no, not on Dak
    • Dak didn't play well, but compared to that defense he looked like a superstar, Joe Montana wouldn't have had a chance
    • I would have loved to have Dak as my QB.
    • Calls out some of Dan Orlovsky's game tape below
  • Dallas is not built to win in January, every loss, other team ran on something like 100-110 times, passed on 60-70 times
  • I thought the entire football team looked shocked after GB's first drive.
    • When you hear comments from Jerry Jones, Dak, McCarthy.. they just assumed they were the mighty Cowboys and could lay their jocks on field and dominate and win
Dan Orlovsky
  • Same thing happened we talked about on Monday, bad matchup (that video was posted last week)
    • Jordan Love under center
    • Ton of presnap motion
    • Ton of playaction pass
    • Cowboys defense struggled all season with that but no one listened
    • See video for examples.
  • Run Game, split flow. Run one direction then cut backside. They did it to Parsons 6x. Clearly they game planned against Parsons.
    • DQ is a great coach, but Green Bay ran circles around him.
  • I thought Dak looked under panic. Uncharacteristic decisions.
    • See video for examples. Dan runs down many bad decisions.
    • Both interceptions were not good decision to throw. See his video examples.
    • This defense allowed Tommy Cutlets and Bryce Young to be NFC Player of Week. Everyone made fun of it.
    • EVERYONE thought Dallas offense would go up and down on it.
    • No one debates if Dak is a good player, he has his entire career. But once again when they needed him, going against a kid who was in his first playoff game on the road, he failed.
Domonique Foxworth
  • GB wanted to avoid 3rd down at all costs
  • Playaction was the killer. Big shots taken on 2nd down.
  • Max protection against Micah, then just manned up and #11 still didn't make play
  • Offensive Line not only pushed Dallas back but out-schemed Dallas defense.
  • Dominique agrees with Rex Ryan. Wasn't all Dak bad decision on one interception. Great execution by GB's defensive backs.
    • But this is irrelevant. Dak and offense have to show up in a big game like this and keep them in game
See Reply #20 for second part of show.

I don't have to even listen to that video to know that he's correct anybody blaming this offense for the problems yesterday needs to look at hey let's take 10 points off the score so the defense technically gave up 38 points they got gassed all day on the ground in the air there was dude so wide open people thought we were in practice like it was a scrimmage it looked like they were playing 11 on 7 I mean if anybody doesn't notice that Dan Quinn's defense has failed miserably and most of the losses this year and don't realize that that puts pressure on the offense..

When the office suddenly looks up and realizes that they're gonna have to probably score 40 to win a game they start pressing they start forcing balls the coaches start calling more high risk plays... Yes the pick six and the was bad but the other interception cooks got mugged should have been a flag he basically got shoved out of the way but go ahead we'll give 10 points to the defense and say they gave up 38 how could you ever think that if they couldn't stop three straight drives in the second-half when I think our offense was finally figuring out how to move the ball and score on Green Bay when they had no hope of ever the score staying the same how can you catch up if the defense just keeps giving up touchdowns over and over and over back-to-back to back this has happened in so many losses this year and even happened in the Seattle game are you guys blind literally if Prescott doesn't battle score for score with Seattle we lose that game and pretty much in all the other games it's kinda hard to play when you know your defense just can't stop anyone so no matter what you do you're not getting the ball back enough to come back the 27 nothing was the worst first half deficit ever in a playoff game since 1969 for the Dallas Cowboys the defense technically gave up 38 points you call that playoff defense people wanna get rid of the offense look I'm not letting them off the hook they didn't look good either it was a team loss but anyone blaming Prescott with that horrible defense and you had the fact in where's his run game and his offensive line they were not that good either...

So yes I'm ranting it's long I'm not stopping with my talk to text but I'm gonna tell you right now the biggest problem on this team is defense then it's the run game then we could talk about the quarterback but right now anybody who wants a different quarterback they're not gonna function on a team that the defense against the better teams can't stop anyone... This defense took a giant step back this year from last year and being able to at least play straight up defense without relying on turnovers to win games or to even stop drives this is what we call an opportunistic defense they only can stop you if they force a turnover if not they get walked over like we're in a scrimmage the worst part of this game is Dan Quinn his game plans and his use of in game adjustments were just horrible in a lot of the big games this year....


You can get away with some of this stuff against average teams or even decently good teams but when you have to elevate your game in the playoffs or in really big games against good teams the defense absolutely collapsed..
