What was the context? Underthrew it on purpose because he was covered high? It's not as if commentators bothered mentioning Dak underthrew it because he doesn't have the arm strength and his foot placement and technique suspect.
He said it like 3 times in the same broadcast. Cant recall the context to be honest. Either way. The guy threw a pick.

Eagles, 49ers, Chiefs, whoever, makes no difference. Everyone saw a weak team in SF that got punched in the mouth and quit. Same as it's been for the last 30 years. What happens to other teams week to week doesn't change that.

Funny you bring that up.

San Fran gets the injury excuse. Dallas lost Diggs halfway thru that week we lost to zona. You dont think that was a major psychological hit? Jets beat Philly missing Sauce and their other starting corner.
Did they talk trash all week long how it was a revenge game and how mad they were against the 49rs and then show up and get piefaced into the dirt?

It’s our over hype’s fault. The ‘OMG greatest Cowboys squad eva!!’ hype is so annoying to the media when the Cowboys win, they can’t wait to tear them down when they lose.

Purdy = lost CMAC and Samuel. You know, they are the ONLY team with injuries.

Hurts = Good loss. Want to get this loss out of the way!

Some garbage like that

This right here.

Browns were scrapping pregame. 49ers unable to match blow for blow

I have been quite quiet the last bit mainly due to some personal stuff going on but after yesterday I want to see how the media absolves Philly and San Fran.

What I want to see is how the media spins the Jets and the Browns. The Jets remember were not good when the Cowboys beat them. The Browns were starting PJ Tucker at QB. So I really want to see the same energy from the media because it gets exhausting listening to these people speak.

I remember in the Eagles game against the Rams when Hurts threw an INT the announcer plain as day said "He underthrew that ball on purpose." Its nonsensical but it goes by the way side because they are the darlings of the NFL. Which is also laughable considering how disgusting their fans are.

Anyways thats my rant for the day. Happy game day everyone!
The media bashes the Cowboys unfairly because of ratings.
Everyone either loves or hates the Cowboys and they draw a lot of attention in the media.
So take it with a grain of salt.
It's all about clicks and ratings, not always about fairness.

The media only cares that you watch. The fact that people yell all up and down that no one should listen to or trust the media yet hang on their every word proves the media (like the house) always wins. So you can consider yourselves sucked, as Parcells would say.

The sports media is never a good metric for who’s good and who’s not. Most of us forget the primary purpose of sports media is clicks. Not accuracy.
The drama, the clicks and the misinformation are all encouraged here.

There's a difference between losing a football game and getting stomped. That being said it was nice to see both of those teams lose

Some of you are paranoid, as if this team doesn't deserve the criticism it gets. If you have listened to media this morning they have been consistent in their play that the Iggles haven't looked the part this year, and look worse now. The 9ers have been playing unconscious over the last 15 games, and this game helps get a load off of their shoulders which it does. They are sitll the best eam in football. That being said, they haven't talked much about how Brock looked pedestrian after losing his top 2 weapons. These teams lost their 1st game, against teams with top tier D. We are supposed to have a top tier D, but the 9ers bullied....this is my concern not the media

The Jets werent a top tier defense when they played us though. Funny how that works. With Sauce. :)
