I'm not defending him but I will point out two of his passes that were called bad throws during that game were because receivers were supposed to sit in zone holes and instead the receivers kept running so the throws looked behind them.
The problem is this team is so averse to details that it's always hard for the viewers (fans, media, etc.) to know who was really at fault on the bad plays the Cowboys make.
I agree though, something seems a little off with Dak's throws this year. If you go back and watch some of the completions in recent games more closely, you'll see some great adjustments and catches by all of the receivers that only showed up as completions in the stats.
Exactly. I agree with you. The exaggeration and things get overblown because they hear things and then it's like AA wave turning into a tidal wave. A lot of those poor throws were because guys were in his face. He wasn't able to step into the throw, he wasn't able to follow through. I mean, do people not watch the games? He is under pressure a lot, but the blitz isn't a regular blitz. These guys are getting through almost untouched at times and it throws the timing of the playoffs. So yeah, he has to put the ball up a little early. If it's caught, it's caught. If not, it's better than taking a sack or a sack fumble. Most of them are not turning into interceptions.
This is a straight overreaction, and a narrative is straight false. The offensive line can't handle the blitz. That's the difference here. Yes, Prescott can see it coming. He could try to get the ball off, and there were a couple of games there where there weren't even any short hot routes. There was something wrong with the communication. But yeah, let's just make a whole post about Dak. That's what we need. lol So he's not throwing perfect passes. It's better than Minnesota, who can't even score an offensive touchdowns in three straight games. lol
I mean, if this is the worst, we're gonna see a Prescott. And he's still putting up 27 points a game or more. So the offense is moving. Can we stop over? Analyzing the offense when we gotta stick to why we are losing games. The 3rd quarter of the Arizona game. That's all on the defense. I'm sorry. I don't care if the offense had opportunities. Let's not revisit that. But the Bucks game, yeah, the offense didn't play well. But if they caught the catchable passes that hit their hands and they didn't turn into turnovers, there were three turnovers in that game. We win that game. I wonder why Caleb Williams over there with the Browns can have five turnovers, but his defense gave them 7 points and erased most of those turnovers. That's what that should look like. Can you imagine his throwing turnovers in that game and still winning?
That's the problem here everybody wants to talk about Aaron throws off throws, not throwing perfect balls, but they forget that they are still. Putting up enough points and doing enough in games to win and the defense is not.
It's pretty simple. I saw Matthew Stafford throw two interceptions in the Super Bowl and win the damn game. II. See it all the time. Three interceptions by Tom Brady in the NFC championship game with the Buccaneers and they won that game, isn't it? It's hard to imagine our fan base. Thinking we need to overanalyze everyone of his throws. Where we have all that mess on the other side of the ball..
