[jazzcat22]

I saw some examples early that Dak and CD were not getting along. I wish I knew the backstory behind this. Could be interesting going forward especially considering the Amari Cooper/Dak history.

They explained this during the game. Said they were talking out some strategy, coverages.

When you feel pressure it puts you on edge and tempers run hotter than usual. With the early offensive struggles they likely had a disagreement on a route, play, etc. I don't think there was more to it than that.

Time to groom Lance and trade Dak, like GB did with Rodgers+ Love, Like SF did with Montana+ Young.
Orlofsky on ESPN says that in Dak's playoff career he has got progressively worse each game

Dak has a no trade clause…he’s not getting traded. He’s not going anywhere, whether we feel he should or shouldn’t.

 

[boysfanperiod]

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.

I would like to know the answer to that as well. It seems they switched when Bland got toasted but I'm not sure when the switch exactly happened.

Why do you give CeeDee all the blame?

Maybe he could see his QB's mind was broken by the moment, he knew where this was headed, and he didn't like it.

I can't actually say it was 100% his fault. You are right.

I can only look at the evidence, and it seems to suggest Ceedee is the main culprit.

If he was upset that his QB was having a hard time (this is before the game even started, and I havent seen any evidence of that) then he is a terrible teammate. If the moment is too big for a player, they need their teammates to calm them down not piss them off.

This was a massive overreaction and very prolonged for it to be that. This went on for a whole half it felt like.

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

You would love that.

Thankfully, Jerry is not as ignorant. Dak and CeeDee will be returning.

Cee Dee sure but Dak coming back would prove the proverbial Einstein quote “ The definition of insanity is doing something over and over and expecting a different result”.

 

[nobody]

Even you can't believe your own BS.

BS? Three years of choking doesn't lie, dude. Dak's a choke artist. It's obvious to anyone with eyes.

 

[Big_C_KU]

If CD wants to get paid and stay a Cowboy he better not make his majesty mad. Ask Dez and Amari how that worked out.

Idk better plan may be to get paid. Then piss off Dak and get traded to a better organization which is sad to say since Cooper went to Browns.

 

[nobody]

Whole entire team choked my guy.

I never said they didn't. They did choke. they're not taking up the cap room Stats Prescott is. If he wasn't so grossly overpaid, I wouldn't come down on him as hard but he had to get paid and then not perform when it mattered. He's not the only one that should get tossed to the curb either.

I would like to know the answer to that as well. It seems they switched when Bland got toasted but I'm not sure when the switch exactly happened.

The only thing I can think of was maybe they were trying to protect Gilmore? Guy just did pop his shoulder back in place. That's the only thing I can think of. Regardless, I would have rather DQ get blown out with the defense that got us here than to act like we were facing the 2000 rams.

Dude maybe for one year for Prescott but I'm not giving that dude an extension I'm letting him play I know it's a big cap hit but I'm thinking they're gonna jettison this whole coaching staff and start over is what I would do and yes you need a bridge for the new coaching staff which means Prescott needs to stay one more year I mean they get franchise tag CD lamb and whoever started this post is ridiculous dude they get along fine all receivers and quarterbacks have those sideline discussions trying to figure out why the game is frustrating but we all know the defense was more the cause of that loss...

Anybody over focusing on the offense from last night wasn't really watching football from the inside out yes the offense got impatient they got pressure they felt like they were gonna have to score on every drive and sometimes that creates mistakes but our defense was the biggest problem all year I mean if you didn't look at the losses I mean you're basically asking this Cowboys offense in most big games to do what they did in Seattle just keep scoring I mean does that sound like a defense we were expecting this year I thought this was supposed to be a championship defense literally telling the offense hey this is Mike Nolan all over again I mean look at it look at the biggest games this year that we lost it starts with the defense because the defense from right from the beginning gives up scores and coming out of halftime gives up scores the office is looking over there going our game plan is not gonna work we're gonna have to just start chucking it even if guys aren't open we're gonna have to fit it into tight windows we're gonna have to trust our players are gonna catch the football in traffic....

Look that pick 6 it was terrible probably should have thrown it but that second one Brandon cooks was mugged he was knocked out of the way should have been a pass interference but it wasn't but I'm not gonna blame Prescott for that interception but the offense got desperate and they were right coming out of halftime they gave up 21 straight points the defense I mean that's a great defense was not even supposed to give up 21 points a game literally you're supposed to be the first one to twenty wins games in today's NFL and kinda hard to get to 20 when the defense is giving up 38 points I'm I'm gonna give the defense 10 point credit and call that because of the offense so 48 - 10 is 38 that's why I'm coming up with 38 points you can't give up 38 points against a good team a playoff team and expect to win the game.....

If this defense would have gave the offense any resemblance of a couple of stops in a row to start the second-half I think we could have made a comeback but that was over when they gave up three straight scoring drives out of halftime it was over there's nothing you could do that's what we call bad defense...

Agree! I don't know why teams stray away from what is working from them. The zone defense clearly was not working. It didn't seem like anyone knew where they were supposed to be in the scheme. I don't know why they didn't adjust after that.

Parsons needs to go back to his role and stop doing whatever it is he's been assigned to do.

Dak and McCarthy are 13-15 vs teams that end the season with a winning record.

Can't make Dak highest paid QB

Preach it brother!!!

I think you misred things. All season they were close and tight. I think you saw frustration that both were having on what was happening.

Was the 1st interception on Dak?

Your answer will determine if you understand football or not.

Yes

 

[boysfanperiod]

Can't make Dak highest paid QB

If Jerry was like the IRS, Dak would be paying back.

 

[Staubacher]

When you take 20% of the cap and play the most important position on the field.. you have to be responsible for a lot of it.

QBs get the big bucks because that is the job.

This weekend we have seen some amazing QB play.. even on losing teams.. Dak the only starter so far that has put in a laughable performance.

Bingo.

If only you didn't have a track record.
