He was the best player on the field for both teams
He was. They lost.
Just like Hurts was in the SB.
They lost too.

If a race-car driver leads the first 99 laps but crashes into the wall on lap 100,
Do they still give him the trophy? Nope.

Dak is a good QB but not a winner. A winner would not step out of bounds before diving to the end zone. A winner also doesn't throw the ball short of the end zone unless he is sure the receiver will score on 4th downs and final plays.

Bingo!

I coached softball for 20 years, both club and HS.

Some of the best games I was ever involved in, against some of the best teams in the country were 1 run losses. We won plenty of blowouts and they never compared to those other games.
As a fan, Im disappointed we lost... but th egame did all I want. My emotions were up and down, I was pacing back and forth.. it was freaking GREAT!

But like I told my teams, the game cant only be fun when we win. This is the NFL and when two good teams play... someone is going home with an L.

We will see them again.
Like I say, "that's entertainment". Fun, fun, game to watch. It didn't turn out the way I wanted, but it was still fun to watch.

absolutely. How many other forms of entertainment can make you feel all those emotions you went through yesterday. My guess is zero?

...and he still took the 'L".
But hey, all the fantasy football guys are happy and the moral victory march
is alive and well. I thought the goal was to win the game.

he played like a top guy today. he literally has no running and a awful right tackle. it Makes no sense. tyron, and Zack alone should let us run in the redone and supposedly Tyler is playing great. you can't have 5 all pros on the line. but damn steele doesn't have to be a bottom 10 lineman.
give dak a running game, and him and lamb. play even better.

Of course he looked great. Every NFL QB will against a college-level defense.

But did he play great? No.

He didnt even play a medicore game. Dont let the numbers fool you.
If he would play good we wouldnt be talking about him stepping out of bounds at the 2-point conversion or else...

seeing the photo. How could Dak had stayed in bounds? Dak made two or three mistakes. What quarterback doesn't? Mahomes-Burrow- that's it.Rest of these quarterbacks are miss and hit every week. At least Dak is consistent. That being known? We need a HC play caller who can help his q.b. out. You think any other quarterback not in the top 5. Can do better then Dak did last night. I say "no". And by the numbers Dak was the number 1 quarterback last night. If the glass work defense didn't give up 28. We win. That same glass work defense? Mahomes and Burrow loses also yesterday. So you tell me how it's Dak's fault when those 2 lose also? Maybe the glass work defense need to look in the mirror today..

Dak played a good game today, every QB has throws they would like back and Dak didn't have many of those. This game wasn't lost by Dak, if anything he had us in position to win and came up a few inches short.

Dude, it's all about winning.
In racing, the last lap is the one that pays.

In football, it's all about the scoreboard at the end of the game.
Show me a good loser and I'll show you a loser. Cold hard facts.

I said, a driver that can't lead any laps...last I remember last lap is also a "lap".

you have to be in position first. before you crash....and then just stop the crash in the last lap.

and I hate to lose as much as the next person. and our game has to get cleaned up. like pre-snap penalties.

You can't win if you don't finish.

Good grief...lol
