If you think Dak played well

[WillieBeamen]

He was bad, Missed some bad throws to lamb that would of changed the game. Deep down the left side line and its out of bounds, down the seam and its short armed, end zone to lamb way out of his reach....... He makes those 3 throws that's 21 points right there.

The backwards pass to Ferguson killed a drive as well as the deep-in to Pickens that was almost intercepted


But he led the team to 5 field goals though

forgot about that dumb play sequence by dak.

forgot about that dumb play sequence by dak.

It was bad, and made worse by the officials who blew it dead, instead of letting Ferg advance it.

We need to keep a few but totally scrap this defense from the coordinator down and rebuild it. Every resource we have in the offseason should be put towards that side of the ball. With that said, if Eberflus is back it won’t matter and it looks like he’s staying.

As far as Dak goes, he wasn’t the main problem tonight. The defense was, is and has been atrocious for the vast majority of the season. But we already know we won’t win with Dak. It’s been 10 years.

We’ll spin our wheels with him until this Front Office takes that position seriously.

 

[kskboys]

And maybe the few who have a modicum of objectivity? He’s a very good, occasionally outstanding, and sometimes boneheaded QB who statistically leads many Cowboy greats, but has no rings to show for it?

That is what the majority think, absolutely. However, there's like 10-12 posters who take an extreme stance and constantly litter the board w/ their spew. It's disgusting.

I love it when the mascot tries to join the huddle. Makes me laugh.

That's hilarious, I gotta remember that one.

Im seeing a lot of fans “relieved” that the defense should shoulder the blame for this loss as opposed to lumping Dak in there as well.

He played a bad game. The lazy will look at the stat sheet and see he threw for over 300 yards and the ints were the fault of the receivers.

He was inaccurate on several deep passes (got CD concussed).

Threw that horrific backwards pass instead of throwing it away

Led 0 Td drives in the first half against a team missing most of their secondary.

He did, despite the OLine, CD's concussion, Pickens disappearance, dropped interceptions and costly penalties.

 

[Chasing6]

The Irony ...... Imagine IF Dak Haters watched game Film with the Team....

Dak Hate not about Football....it's ok...FREE SPEECH never died

DDS is real.

 

[Qcard]

Dak Haters just invented another Dak.Hate category

PASSES THAT CAUSE CONCUSSIONS

This guy is posting about American Football..yep most violent sport

Remember this is about Football

Sounds good. But if he did all that by himself in Dallas, why didn't he do that when he went to the Miami Dolphins??

It's simple. When he built the the Cowboys from the ground up, there was no salary cap. When he went to the Dolphins, he had to deal with a Salary cap and Dan Marino and his influence.

 

[zerofill]

Missed the game because of family event. Gotta lookup the game… But sounds like the Dak we know all too well. Disappointing.

Don't spend much time watching it. You would be better off watching a documentary on different types of paint, and the drying times.

 

[conner01]

Because Dak never stops stinking it up in big games, especially on the road

We gave up 44 points. You should win games when you put up 30 points. I guess you expect 50 from the offense lol

 

[Flamma]

The offense played like crap in the first half. No other way to put it. Then after a good defensive play by the Lions, we're down 27-9 to start the 2nd half. From that point on, you have to get stops in order to come back. Dallas managed to get it to within 3, but the defense was non existent in the 4th. The first half killed us.

I found it amusing watching Dak tell Ferguson that he has to hold on to that ball. Two plays after Dak throws it backwards.

 

[Relayer]

not a Dak stan but the OL was not helping him out tonight at all. i think he played good, not great... but defense gave him nothing

It's not on the oline when they bring more than you can block. That happened a lot and there were no presnap adjustments to account for it. Don't know for sure who's fault that was but Dak sure looked taken by surprise by it.

ESPN QBR Scale

90–100: Elite / near-perfect

70–89: Very good

55–69: Above average

50: Exactly league average baseline

Below 50: Bad

Below 40: Disastrous

Below 20: “Turn off the TV, it’s over.”

So what is 52.2?

Barely above the “bad” threshold
Worse than mid-tier QBs put up weekly
Certainly NOT MVP, elite, clutch, top-tier, franchise-carrying, or any of the nonsense Dak lovers claim

A QBR of 52.2 basically means:

“Your QB was slightly better than awful… but still not good.”

It’s the stat version of:

“Congrats, you didn’t absolutely implode — but you didn’t help much either."

facts>feelings

This is not facts, but feelings. 40-60 is the center of the bell curve so most performances are going to be in this range. So calling below 50 = bad just isn’t reality. Goff’s QBR was 45.3 last night, and yet they won. So Goff did nothing special to win, but you know it’s a team game.

A +2 turnover differential has a 82%-84% win rate. Offense turned the ball over and defense couldn’t stop them. The end.

 

[McKDaddy]

Goff’s QBR was 45.3 last night, and yet they won. So Goff did nothing special to win, but you know it’s a team game.

This is how silly QBR is. "Jared Goff's QBR against the Dallas Cowboys in their Week 14, 2025 matchup was 45.3, with a strong completion rate (73.5%) and 309 yards, but only 1 touchdown and 0 interceptions". So they are acting like the team scoring on running plays somehow diminishes his contributions.

Yet passer rating is 111.0

Based on the performance can anyone really say that the QBR ranking between bad & disastrous is accurate? I would certainly hope not.

 

[Clove]

You don't have to yell dude...sheesh!

I can do whatever tf I want to do. And all of you bozo's are complaining about the wrong thing in here. It's the same **** I've seen for 30 years. I'm used to titles, I grew up seeing 4 titles from the boys, and back then, we never sat around arguing because we had "pros" in place doing our business. Why the heck would Jerry hire the coach, and then hire some scrub defensive coordinator? And this trash he built on defense, I'm so sick of him, I had ZERO emotions after the game.

This is the Jerry Jones affect. I just don't care like I used to.

 

[GINeric]

You keep listing team comebacks as if Dak personally spotted KC 21 points and then single-handedly erased them.

Comebacks don’t erase patterns.

Dak can play well under pressure — occasionally.
But when the lights get brightest, when the season is on the line, when defenses tighten, when chaos hits the pocket… the same issues show up every time:

• jittery feet
• slow reads
• panic mechanics
• late decisions

That’s not ‘hate’ — that’s why every defensive coordinator loves playing him in January.

No one said every good moment is ‘stat padding.’
The point is simple:

Dak looks great when the structure is perfect.
Dak looks average when it isn’t.

And that’s exactly why the same story repeats in the playoffs.

Facts > feelings, brother.

I don't have a problem with anything you've stated. As a matter of fact, that sounds like you can attach this to 95% of the current quarterbacks in the league.

Thats definitely facts over feelings and I can give examples of other quarterbacks considered elite, who fall under everything you posted above.

Goff gets credit for YAC using the standard passer rating whereas QBR splits credit between passer and catcher.
