That is his typical stuff. He finds something and repeats it for a year.
He wants Dak to fail and has stated so. He rather we go 0-17, then to make the playoffs where anything can happen.

Half of his posts count is repetitive Dak hate.
No doubt. Biggest troll on the forum. Put him on ignore a few years ago when he arrived. I probably have about 10 others like that. Their drivel disappears.

Why dont you just put him on ignore? I figured that one out the first 20 posts.

You can't conversate with Dak over Dallas fans.

So I offer them the bet to shut em, because none of em believe in that bum enough to accept it.

Since you butted in though I offer you the same deal. Come on. Be what AC can't be.
Why would I, I want to continue to post here.

I conversate with them every day, its just a matter of opinion and I find the conversations entertaining.

How did leading the NFL in INTS while missing 5 games hurt the offense?
Missing the 5 games didn't hurt us. Cooper's 1 TD per game was enough for us to win while Dak was out. Dak's first 13 INTS didn't really hurt us too bad. I'm not sure whether or not we would have won our division without any INTS. Now the 2 he threw against SF hurt...a lot.

lmao...why do you uneducated, soap making, bug killing, grass mowing, truck drivers, wife haters always use the word conversate? That's not a proper word! The proper word is converse. "I converse with them every day..."

Hey, ya'll, I done conversated with the wicked witch of the North. Conversated? lmao. Cowboy fans, gotta love us.
You hit it too hard bro.

Most of them are rival fans posing as Cowboy fans. This one is from West Virginia. Once I pointed out his profile and questioned he blocks access. Red flag!!

As a guest to our board, why can't you stay on topic? What was your weak *** excuses throughout his career when he didn't throw the interceptions??

Oh yeah, are you going to come around after wins this year or are you going to still practice your cowardly tendencies and hide until we lose?

You gotta do better kid.

Yea,many Cowboy fans have some criticism for our QB but we can find some positives . Those who bash him every thread and post obviously are suspect. It’s basically all they are here for . Red flag!!

Just shows you how far gone the dak fanboobs are when they claim that out of 17 picks he is responsible for none of them.

No, Dak is definitely responsible for atleast half of them.... but why does it anger and trigger those weak cowardly Dak hatin chumps when there is clear video evidence shows that ALL of them aren't his fault?

As a matter of fact, after you answer that, can you tell me why the Dak hating cowards on this board fail to post after we win games, but only come around after losses??

You seem to have a great understanding of how they operate. Thanks in advance, I'll wait.

Also notice the inefficiency on 2nd down runs.


https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/202...rst-down-efficiency-dak-prescott-offense-2023

Looking over this data, it’s clear the Cowboys, who finished third in the league in scoring in 2022, had serious problems on first down, running the ball at a clip higher than almost anyone in the league and falling significantly below league average in each efficiency category on first down. This put them in poor positions, and forced the quarterback, Dak Prescott, to be a hero on second and third downs in order to convert a new set of downs.

This is illustrated by Dak’s air yards per attempt numbers (and rank among QBs w/ 100 plays of each down):

  • 1st down: 6.3 (27th)
  • 2nd down: 7.8 (7th)
  • 3rd down: 11.3 (2nd)
If Mike McCarthy can put a heavier emphasis on first down in 2023, and the Cowboys can improve their ability to generate positive results early in a series. It will make them a more consistent and explosive unit.

Oh, and the last time Mike McCarthy called plays for an NFL team, the 2018 Green Bay Packers finished seventh in EPA per play and third in success rate on first down, while passing on first down at the second highest rate in the league. So he’s done it before.
Winning the early downs on both sides of the football will be very important for this team next season.

Defenses knew the plays on those run downs for Dallas. Furthermore, if 1st down was an incomplete on they'd run on 2nd, and choose from the same run plays as their 1st down tendencies.

Predictable.


That was due to the inability to design and call plays at the NFL level by one of the dumbest offensive coordinators in the league named Kellen Moore. I'm so glad his trash *** is gone.

Without the forced burden of Zeke, that should be easier. With Pollard, you have to account for the whole field. Inside or outside. He can break tackles and take it all the way. Makes people miss. I would think Deuce has that in him as well.

If you want to trash Moore, trash him for playing Zeke over Pollard. It was Zeke running that was the predictable part. Couldnt bounce it outside and could be stopped with a 4 man front most of the time.

You must have short term memory loss and forgotten what it was like when Garrett was the OC.

You know, people complain that he was holding onto the football. So he releases it and hopes that the receiver makes a play. The guy can’t win they just don’t appreciate. What he actually does to get us to the playoffs. They say he can’t win there, we shouldn’t even be there we’re not a complete team yet. I say that this year also with the running back situation.
