He’s had some run support during the regular season which is why we’ve won a lot of games and 4 division titles but he’s had little run support in the playoffs. Zeke had two 100 yard games in the playoffs, against GB in 2016 and against Seattle in 2018. Dak played well in both games. We were tied with GB 30-30 in the closing seconds until our defense choked costing us the game. Against Seattle Zeke’s 137 yards helped lead us to that win.

He never rushed for more than 47 yards in our next 4 playoff games and we ended up 1-3 in those games. Pollards best rushing game in the playoffs was 77 yards in our win against Tampa. He and Zeke combined for 104 yards. In Pollards next 2 playoff games he only combined for 78 yards and we were 0-2. It’s been our lack of a run game and our defense that’s killed us in the playoffs.
That niners game they keep referring to had is running for about 3 yards a clip. They can trash Dak all day, but the fact is there are only 3 maybe 4 qbs in the league who could win it all with our roster and team dysfunction. The least our GM could do is figure out the run game.

He had better support than most of the QBs , remember all Dak friendly things in the last few years. The D played a good game in 2022 playoff game against SF , it’s he and the offense crapped the bed.
The 2022 playoff game against SF is the only playoff loss under Dak where the defense played well enough to win. Dak’s poor performance lost that game.

The team does not have enough to carry him. Make no mistake, he needs carried.

No wonder Dante Fowler Sr said the organization was too toxic for Fowler Jr to stay. Even OchoCinco can sum it up. If anyone knows what it feels like to flop in playoff mediocrity for decades, it's a Bengal player from his years. LOL

I'm fine with a rebuild, but what they're doing this year is just frustrating. Everyone on lame duck contracts. Get some value while you can. If you're gonna tank, tank! None of this hope to get by with a .500 or slightly better record, leaving the guys onboard you think can't cut it and not even giving them extra support.
Too toxic for Fowler to stay, but not toxic enough for any of us fans, to leave.
Puras Toxicas!

Held SF to 19 points.

Your hero Dak could only muster 12.

Been over this before KJJ.
Not defending Dak's bad playoff performances, but the bottom line is it's a team sport. The Chiefs won the AFC Title game against the Ravens by scoring 17 points, none in the second half. Did Mahomes choke? No.

Now ask yourself, how many playoff games would the Cowboys win scoring just 17 points? None. But Dak would be to blame.

There's a huge difference. One QB can consistently put a drive together when it's all on him to make something happen. Put both QBs in the same scenario. Down by 4, 1:30 on the clock, no TO's. Win or go home. On the road. divisional playoff game. You know at that point exactly what's going to happen in both situations. Cowboys will look as absolutely pathetic as possible.. the guy simply isn't worth the money and the regular season stats don't tell the whole story! It's not just about blaming Dak, but the shoe definitely fits and he should be blamed.

when did his dad say this?
Here is the podcast. Props to @TRUTH87 who got me listening to these guys. They have a lot of good points. Different takes than what you’ll see on the zone.

Fowler Sr jumps in on the chat after the one hour mark. Says his son tried to sign with them, but they wouldn’t work with them and said that there is a toxic atmosphere right now. I believe it. We, all the radio guys, etc see the weirdness coming from the Star this offseason.

Part of the reason I don't think Dak is a Cowboys by this time next year. This close to free agency he would be crazy to sign an extension. If Jerry wants to keep Dak he needs to show him that he is willing to help him win a championship.
True, it goes both ways.

I wonder if it's arguing between the FO or FO and coaching, or where Will McClay factors in.

He hasn’t had the support of a consistent running game or defense in the playoffs. Nothing has routinely crapped the bed in the playoffs like our defense.
If Dak never touched the ball in the playoff game against the Packers. The Score at half time would of been 0-13. Let that sink in.
