And the QB performed in top tier fashion for 59 minutes and 33 seconds of the game. But you have decided that for 27 seconds he didn't perform to your liking, so the other 59 minutes and 33 seconds just don't count.

Do I have that right?
Do you want to win the game, or not?

6 yards away from victory and you lose 20 yards and 22 seconds on two plays.
This is silly. Feel free to be excited about the 59:33. The last :27 was an absolute debacle. The loss puts the team in a position that is dependent on other teams beating the Eagles instead of controlling their own destiny.

All the greats would've won the game in that :27 scenario.

Exactly. I don't do moral victories.
Exactly...Dak is the guy you want your daughter to date but not marry...he just isn't the guy that can win (the difference between he and Mahomes is so large)...

I think people are making way too much of the 2 pt conversions where Dak stepped out of bound. Put yourself in that situation with an Eagles defender coming at you from the side. You are stretching for the pilon nad the goal line contact is really incidental. Tough play but just the way things went for Dallas. Why is thast 2 point play any bigger than the play where Schoonmake came up 1 inch short of the goal line?

The reason Dak failed to win the game is pretty simple.They were down 5 points and turned it over on downs 3 times in Eagles territory. First they got down to the Eagles 31 yard lines with 2:47 to play. Dak got sacked on consecutive play setting up a 3rd and long. Then the 4th and 8 play to Tolbert that failed. At that tiem there was no way MM could have known he would get the ball back 2 more times, but the Cowboys did.

The next drive was the one where Schoonmake came up an inch short on 4th down. Again, had MM known he would get the ball back again he might have opted to kick the FG. But he went for it and missed by an inch. Dak's fault? I thought Schoonmaker was tackled before the ball got there or else he would have had the TD easily.

Finally, they get the ball back with about 45 seconds and Dak gets a long PI penalty called. Despite the whining from teh Eagles fans that was a legitimate PI. Bradberry was in Gallup's gut and impeded him from coming back to the ball. Then the roughness penalty which was also legitimate. Reddick hit Dak well after the ball left his hand. So the Cowboys wind up on the 11 yard line with 27 seconds left in the game. The Eagles give them 5 yards on a penalty so it is 1st and 5 from the 6. Dallas immediately commits a false start penalty. Dak's fault? Then Dak takes an 11 yards loss on a sack. Now itis 2nd and 21 from the 22 yard line. Then an incomplete pass followed by a delay of game penalty. Not sure whose fault that was. So now it is 3rd and 26 from the Eagles 27 with 5 seconds left. Dak hit CeeDee over the middle for 21 yards but time ran out and the game is over.

That last drive was not Dak's fault. All those mistakes, with the exception of maybe the delay of game, we not Dak's fault. After the sack and 11 yard loss, the chances of making a game winning TD there were dismal. They lost this game because Terence Steel couldn't block anyone, and penalties that were inexcusable at that point in the game. Dak did the best he could with everything that happened around him.

This is not on Dak today, he had some plays we like back but it wasn’t him today. Steele, penalties and this Doomsday III D has not materialized at all.
dont lay the blame on him.. doesnt really matter. All that matters is we lose, they win. Who is at fault??? who cares. BUT, we all know who gets credit and blame for a teams success... and rightfully so.

In the most critical parts of the game Dak stepped out of bounds on an unforced error that cost us two points.

Then could not score with a 1st & goal from the 6.

I don't care how well you play all game if you blow it at the worst times just like Romo did.
Tell us how the false start that moves them back to the 11 is Dak's fault. Explain that.

You people are stupid.

Yes. He played great but he **** the bed when he had the chance to win it on that last drive. Any competent QB wins that game at the end.
exhibit a... go look at the Vikes game yesterday.

Dak balled out! His receivers dropped passes all night. There was no semblance of a run game. Had to convert on 3rd and long all night......O line collapsed in the most important moments....That make 3 straight good games played by Dak.....There's only one pat mahones.....what do yall expect.....
he played great... but I expect him to ull the damn game out. I expect that 2 point conversion to be good, not have him step out for no reason but his own not knowing where the damn out of bounds chalk is.

Again, Dak played outstanding, but we still lost due to his mistake. Like it or not, the QBs are ultimately judged on wins.

Tony Romo had a 140 QBR with 5 TDs, 506 yards and threw an int at the very end of the game trying to orchestrate an amazing comeback because the defense gave up 50+ points, and people crucified him for throwing the pick.

What moment are you even referencing? Tyler with the false start? Steele declining to even get in his man's way for a second on the two sacks?

It is brain dead to think QB play lost you that game. QB play is why you were even in it in the first place.
As always, the only plays that matter for Dak are the bad ones.

And you're doing the same thing to Dak. Like, you're so close to getting the point.

Both of those groups are dumb.

Even at the 11 with 1st down and what... 20 some seconds on the clock??? I think we still win..... the one thing that cant happen, is a sack, and dak took a sack, game over.

Look... IM not throwing blame on Dak... Im just saying we lost. Dak didnt pull it out in the end. Thats it. Thats all that matters. Id love to be sitting here saying how great Dak played and we won. BUt I dont get to do that. BUT, the difference between the game I pointed to and yesterday is 29 points wins the game. Romo need 50something to win.

No, not the last play.
It came down to 1st and 5 at the 6 with 27 seconds to play.
I'm not upset. It's hilarious to see those crying about how it's
everyone else's fault and not the guy paid to win games like these.
What is the right tackle paid to do in games like these?

Shut up yes you are.

All of you clowns are ignoring 59:30 of the game and blaming him entirely.

See what you saying but this D has regressed as fast as Justin Gatlin in the 100 Meters run.

I remember that game against Denver where Romo was surgical in his passing. The criticism he got for that pick (which was really Beasleys fault) was ridiculous. It definitely was worse than the criticism dak is getting right now!

I get the frustration though, but I think sometimes our fans expect the QBs to be too perfect. That was a Dak brain dead moment right there. I think in both instances Romo and Dak did enough to win the game. The small team mental errors cost them the game at the end of the day.
