I keep it honest with myself so ill start this is Dak, and my thoughts that there cant possibly be any question that he's the guy for this team.

He started slow, and rightfully so. Philly threw so many looks at him and they've been doing that to everybody they played. He took his hits and licked his wounds came back and won the game. He led this team and took the win from the eagles. The coaches didnt do him any favors with the gameplan either. But like we've seen all yr he stayed poised and took what was given to him and pulled it out with a play we seen Romo make so many times on that last td to Witten. Props to Prescott for how much he's grown in so little time. We saw a day and night difference between Daks ability to run a team and how Philly has no trust and keeps Wentz on a really short leash. When Dallas started rolling in the 4th and tied it there was no doubt in my head Dallas was going to win because nothing in this game showed me that Wentz could drive the length of the field. Nothing in his game is even comparable to where Dak is in his game. Wentz had 2 comp over 10 yrds. Dallas has a franchise QB, Philly has a project starting. Without the stupid penalties by the def and bad ST play this game is a blowout by Dallas. Philly isnt in Dallas' league.

Zeke IMO was robbed by his coaches tonight. instead of feeding him dinner they had him on a low carb diet. Feed him and dont stop. IMO these coaches wanted to force feed Dez more tonight.

This team nearly blew it, by trying to force it to Dez. You can tell it was in Daks head too, because he missed open guys early to go in Dez direction. Their timing was off for most of the night but when it was time to man up they hooked up and got on the same page. This team seemed to finally understand in the 4th that spreading the ball around is what will win you games. in the first 3 quarters 3 people caught the ball, Dez, Elliot and Witten. In the 4th Dak found 5 other targets and thats when Dallas dominated.

IMO OL got the draw late. Philly shows so many looks its hard to get a grasp of what theyre doing. But like in recent yrs the nd game Dallas usually has a feel for them and they handle them pretty good in that 2nd game.,

This def is just making plays when it counts.

Sean Lee is IMO is back to being in the best LBer in the league argument. He's all over the field and he cant be blocked.

Claiborne is earning a big payday if u ask me.

All in all this team is growing up more and more by the week. And im going to say it now, Dallas/ NE superbowl.

Good points except I don't see any way we give Mo the money he's going to want. If he truly is out for the year again you simply cannot play a player who fails in the biggest "ability" category of all--

Availability.

I agree with all this, dez back and he is forced to go to him.
Thing is dak and dez have not worked together enough so it will take some time hopefully in practice to get on same page.
In OT it looked like the team of weeks past. and dak was 5 of 5.

Elliot did get robbed on the long play, did not look like holding bad enough to call.

This whole we forced Dez the ball thing is silly. Dak missed open guys all around. And on most of his throws...regardless who he was throwing the ball to he was off. If he was accurate Dez has 200 yard night and we win more comfortably.

At the same time Dak is a rookie and these things happen. What's so good about it is he is learning buy is getting the wins as well. Can't ask for more

Yes, Dak was mostly terrible. I've seen Romo throw 5 interceptions in 1 game, but I don't ever remember seeing Romo this bad with accuracy.

Romo's bad games tend to be games where the defense throws out things he's not expecting. He's normally pretty damn consistent as far as accuracy goes.

Accuracy and footwork were things that were a knock on Dak coming out of college. It's something that he'll be working on in the offseason and I doubt it'll be an issue for all that long.

I thought once Dak settled down into the 4th and started to spread the ball around he looked like the Dak we have been accustomed to, plus I liked Dak at least going mid range and farther with his passes, a D like philly you have to strech them downfield and that might have opened things up late in the game...Zeke, what can you say about him, good things happen when he has the ball, just get him the ball...great win.

It was clear we spent most of the game trying to be clever instead of sticking to what got us there in the first place.


They were not trying to be clever. They were trying to force the ball to Dez. 14 targets is ridiculous!!!

The dude was open. The ball just wasn't getting there consistently. You throw to Dez when he's open.


No, you run the ball which has been winning games for you. It was clear early on, they were going to force the ball. Just like the interception at the end of the 2nd quarter.

exactly 14 targets for Dez...and this was the worst "coached" game of the year to this point...coming out of the bye makes no sense at all...they are lucky to get the W last night imo

Agreed!

The dumb penalties...

Lucky Whitehead being an idiot and not taking the 20 yards with that fumble.

Yeah I was sitting there last night thinking it was 2015 the way the team came out so flat and unprepared coming off a bye week. Like I said though take the win and be happy.

They're going to have to do something about this defensive line, quickly
