They should look in the mirror because Dak isn't the only one who choked. Everybody from the coaches on down choked. Luckily they all get to come back.

The offense never scored a point until the very end of the first half.
By that time Dak had missed a touchdown pass to Tolbert, thrown a pick six, and threw another interception to give the Packers the ball at the Cowboys twelve yard line that was an easy score for them.
So how can you blame anyone on defense?
How? What a dumb question. How about the GB offense dominating time and the game by scoring 6 TDs on the first 7 offensive possessions. I have no doubt that McCarthy‘s game plan was tasted very early on.

Actually Diggs said the opposite
That's what I was saying, he mis-understood or did not know about the trash Diggs yelled at Dak all camp. Some a little more than friendly trash talk in my humble opinion.

In NFL games the opposing team does score sometimes.
The Cowboys #1 offense was supposed to be able to match any team.
The Cowboys not only didn't score, but spotted Green Bay 14 points.

I didn't see that.
I saw a Cowboys team that got NOTHING from their quarterback, and recognized early on how the game would end.
Dak had opportunities but was so dependent on CeeDee that he missed other receivers who were open.
I agree BUT I will say Jerry and the coaches are equally at fault. This embarrassing end to the season didn't catch anybody by surprise here, the coach knew Dak's fatal flaws and supposedly tried to build a power run offense with simpler WR routes that wasn't dependent on having an elite non-choking QB. Their efforts were an abysmal failure, they ended up building a team that was 100% dependent on the QB carrying the freaking team. No running game, suspect pass pro and a defense that only plays well with a lead!!! vurt the furk!

I don't hate Dak, but the Cowboys have to get better if they don't want to continue being embarrassed every year.
Dak may be a great guy personally, but he doesn't deserve a spot on the Cowboys roster- and that's obvious.
If the Cowboys want to improve they have to start with the most obvious weakness.
Just ignore him

Anyone who doesn't agree with him is full of "hate"

That's the fallback argument of people with minds that can't logically defend their own fragile opinions

You'll never get anywhere with someone like that. Don't waste your time. It's an open forum and you have the right to your opinion

I apologize; I remember now.
I think Diggs hoped it would help Dak, but it doesn't seem that it did.
I hoped it might help but it didn't.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.

They will look at them the way those three make them look at them. Those three are in charge.
The quarterback, however, goes into battle with them. If he doesn't do his job, it hangs them all out to dry.

REALLY...So when Seattle was running up and down the field scoring at will and Dak was scoring right back at them to save our bacon. So you telling me the defense didn't hang us out to dry and Dak didn't save the laundry? If we going to be real. Let's be real...Dak had us a win against Aaron Badboy Rodgers.... Defense let Rodgers go right down to kick the winning FG.... Selective memory here :huh:

No, Dak played well against a decent team.
I had hoped McCarthy was making him better.
Then Green Bay came to Dallas and the Dak we all feared showed up.

Leeblair...The Dallas we all feared showed up. You act like Dallas lost 30 t0 27.... We weren't gonna win regardless of what Dak did. Yes-blame Dak. But it was a complete TEAM failure from McCarthy to Quinn to Dak. to the whole friggin team...Isn't everyone getting a check come Tuesday????? Rodgers GB wasn't a decent team??? they were darn good....

Losing is one thing.
Dak spotted the Packers 14 points and was so focused on CeeDee that he missed at least one touchdown.
Take away the 14 points Dak gave Green Bay, and let him produce at least one touchdown, and it's a different game.
He's supposed to be leading the number one offense in the NFL, so it's reasonable to expect he should have put up at least ten points.
Then its a 14-7 or 14-10 game.
But no. He did what he has done in every big game- NOTHING for the Cowboys, points for the opponent.

Every player & coach, should be looking in the mirror after that performance against a team even the Giants beat.
With that defense, erratic qb play, penalties, turnovers, pouting, etc...they were destined to get embarrassed at some point in the playoffs. Just as they previously were in San Francisco & Buffalo. It just happened earlier than expected and against a 9-8 opponent.

Defense spotted the Packers 7 and gave them the confidence to lay it on us. Then gave em 41. So we were going to lose regardless of what Dak did. Like I said. You are expecting ONE man to win a SB....Good luck with that. Never happened -NEVER will. It takes a team to win a SB from GM on down.....

The joke is over, and the truth has come to light.
The Cowboys players will know from day one of training camp that Dak will choke every time they play a team that won't lay down for them. They will know that their playoff hopes will end when they face any team that punches back.
Which might be what they want.
The players these days make so much money that the post season is just an intrusion on their offseason plans, and doesn't pay as much as the regular season games. Only those who can capitalize in the endorsement deals and commercials actually benefit from the post season.
No matter what they say, Dak is not a leader, except at the bank.
And that will lead to uninspired play, and eventually the wheels not only come off, but will be shattered beyond repair.
How will they look at the defense and Quinn?

IDK if you noticed but the whole team other than like Ferg and a few other players choked vs the Packers. Nobody was good. From CeeDee drops to Micah going MIA. Matter of fact the whole defense went MIA. But yes just blame Dak? And yes Dak was bad but it wasn't just him.
