Pressure kills Dak... so much so that he still completed 70% of his passes with 0 turnovers, and led the offense to 22 points without either starting OT or 2/3 of his WRs.

Find a new hobby. This sport’s clearly too complex for you.
:laugh:

Yet none of that explains how he was outscored by an 0-4 team on offense playing with receivers and TE who wouldn't even make our team

Missing both starting tackles, 2/3 starting receivers and while getting hit nearly every time he dropped back he threw for nearly 300 yards and carried his team nearly all the way back from 3 TDs down.

The OL and defense really wet the bed today
You mean he had the players Romo had most of hits career?

He was not good.

He's a bus driver, just as we expected.

He did read the blitz. What are you talking about?

Why do you think the ball came out so fast?

It just wasn’t a good throw and Witten was impeded. Could’ve been another flag there but whatever.[/QUOTE

…..that's exactly the response Dak, Kellen Moore and JG said too.

He didn't have any turnovers, but he didn't make any plays, either.
Except for the referees, the Cowboys probably would not have scored their last touchdown.

Dak is part of the problem. His accuracy is all over the place. He rarely takes a 3 step drop and fires the ball. Dak tries to take 10 sec to survey the field before throwing and it ain't workin! The way to beat a blitzing team is quick hitting timing passes. Something Dak either cant do or the coaches dont call it.

This is exactly why I said Dak's first season was an anomaly. He has to play better under pressure and be the reason that the Cowboys are better.
If he had played for any team but the Cowboys, with the best o-line in football, he would have been out of the NFL by now.
The last three games are the real Dak.
He also doesn't have the best OL in football anymore.

If Dak is a bus driver, his coaches are Yugo drivers or people that can't make a Yugo start.......

Nobody can blame Dak today, but they will.

Prescott played well. He is who he is. We can all agree he's improved greatly as a passer and he's a tough and charismatic leader.

What Dak isn't is the type of QB that can overcome not having his two starting tackles and two of this top three receivers. However, a lot of QB's are like that. Most of them have a coaching staff that can scheme well enough to not force Dak to win the game by himself.

Dallas does not have that kind of coaching staff, so Dak can fall on the sword another week.

Dak wasnt the issue. He did fine. He had little help on both sides of the ball. Wilson had a good game.

Hard to make plays when you have pressure in your face every snap and 2/3 of your WRs are out. And his Witten TD was wiped out by a bogus penalty.

Dak did what he could and he gave us a shot. Look around the league. Good/great QBs and good/great offenses can struggle to score when things aren’t smooth around them. It happens.

It wasn't a good throw because Dak wasn't able to step into it. Most good QBs have a strong enough arm to make that throw but as we've seen in the past when Daks mechanics aren't good his arm is very questionable.
