I saw some examples early that Dak and CD were not getting along

Last years playoffs have already been explained. So 1 interception was on Dak. Does that mean Dak cost the game? "This playoff game was lost because of Dak." Is that what you are saying?

Post Edit: I barely read your last comment. It's all good brother.
I never said a game was lost exclusively because of Dak. He contributed greatly however. He takes up the largest percentage of the cap and never steps up to overcome when other parts of the team are struggling. The defense laid a huge egg and there needs to be coaches and players fired for that. The culture of the team needs to be changed. That doesn't change my strong believe that Dak will never step up and get it done. He wilts when the team isn't playing great. That's just my opinion on it and I think the past three years strongly support my stance on this. I think it all stems from his ankle-injury, too. It broke him and he still hasn't mentally recovered. It's a shame because he is a great guy. I'd buy him a beer if I met him. I just don't want him as the QB because I don't think he's what the team needs. That's all, my brother.

Would you do me a favor? I find it highly insulting when you bring up Romo to me because it insinuates that my dislike of Dak as a QB stems from Romo and that simply isn't true because I was a Dak supporter from day one up until recently. Please stop bringing up Romo to me? I like Dak. I think he's a good guy. I just think he's a choker and bad for the team which has nothing to do with Romo. I think it's because of his nasty ankle-injury. Cool?

Totally agree. What was Dan Quinn thinking? Almost seemed scripted or done on purpose. Has anyone posted any videos of Dan Quinn being questioned post-game for his defensive performance?
Quinn's choice of switching from what had been working all season, something Love struggled against to something Love was stronger against was inexplicable. Players were out of position but I'm not sure if that was coaching or players just not caring or knowing their role. Either way, that's on coaching too.

All good brother. Understood.

I think the players sometimes know in advance if Dak is going to have a bad game. They spend several hours together every day so they've figured out the signs of his nerves getting the better of him. Us fans only get the PR polished version of Dak. The players see the real Dak.

Dak was responsible for some bad plays, but I wouldn't say he collapsed. It was our defense that had a meltdown and total collapse. They played like plastic figurines in a furnace. We would have lost this game even if Dak had played lights out.
I would say it was complimentary football at its worst. Defense gave up a 12 play drive to start the game. We go 3 and out. Dak missed CD on 3rd and 8. CD started pouting. Green Bay scored again. Dak threw his 1 st pick. And on and on. Dak should have had 2 more picks. Campbell dropped an interception in the end zone that hit him in both hands at the end of the first half. Then there was that weird shuffle pass that should have been picked. Dak played very poorly.

But let’s say Dak awesome. Our defense was unspeakably bad. Like Mike Nolan bad. I was looking for Jaylon Smith. The Hot Boyz of 2020 made their encore performance. Just horrible defense.

The offense and everyone on it, not just Dak, played very poorly (except Ferguson). The defense played awful. The offense and the defense complimented each other to produce a historic playoff defeat. Just depressing and sad because that was our best chance. Moving forward our roster is only going to be more depleted. Sucks

I haven’t seen anything. Before today I was scared of losing DQ. Now I’m hoping he leaves. You know it’s bad when you start missing Jaylon Smith. Mike Nolan is somewhere laughing at Jerry Jones right now. I can’t believe we stopped doing what got us here. What in the world was that? Unbelievable.

Those are good points. I do think the offense played a lot better in the second half, but you can't wait for your offense to show up in the second half in playoff football.

Yeah, I don't know why Quinn suddenly switched to zone when we had been more successful with man coverage all year long. I don't think he's the answer for HC. Remember, it was his Falcons that had the most spectacular collapse in Super bowl history.
Not only we've been running man mostly all year, Love struggled vs man and did well vs zone all season. What the hell was DQ thinking? Probably thinking about the new house he'll need to get in Seattle more so than the game.

At this point, Seattle is nuts if they hire him. Until this game, I was worried about some team taking Dan Quinn away. Now I think he shouldn't be in Dallas next year.

Meh. I erased what I originally said. Thanks for the laugh though, Monroe.
Pretty sure you said some stupidity that would’ve got you benched and we all know this message board is your life. I’m glad you posted something more forum appropriate. Be well

Who the heck knows with this team? It's always something for darn near 30 years. I just don't care much anymore. Clown show organization from Jerry on down.

But I'm sure it'll all come together next season. :rolleyes:
Man that's me anymore. When I was a little younger I used tog et all worked about sports, I really just don't care that much anymore. The social justice activism didn't help either with pro sports.

This franchise is a special kind of failure though. We are either a Dynasty winning superbowls or going 30 years without sniffing one.

Seattle is stupid if they hire him. He got completely outcoached against the Packers. Not to mention the Bills and the 49ers took it to his defense. Him changing from man to zone against the Packers is one of the worst coaching moves I’ve seen since the Raiders Buccaneers Super Bowl.

Ha. I'm pretty sure you were hoping for something questionable posted on my behalf so you could run to the mods to get me benched. I just laugh at your personal insults. Thanks for the laughs once again.

Never ran to the models to get anyone benched a day in my life so try again. Saying I don’t believe you played football or being out of shape isn’t an insult at all. Try again.

Even at my age, I would run you over on a football field. Then do it again to force you to believe. Then laugh at you as you writher in pain, choking on your tears and snot.
