Oddly, this game was confirmation for me that the Cowboys are right there

[America's Cowboy]

And are a better QB away from taking the next step.

I also was impressed w/ how our team outplayed their team, and got sabotaged by terrible QB play.

Nice receiving weapons Dak had, eh?

 

[Sydla]

Let him leave. His D folded like a cheap suit the whole 2nd half.

LOL.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Even in 07 and 09, we weren't this good.

Be a shame if we continue w/ this QB undermining all of the good play, hey?

Ha! Cowboys had much better receivers in 07 and 09. It's not even close.

 

[kskboys]

Nice receiving weapons Dak had, eh?

Yes. W/ Ceedee, Shultz, Gallup, and Hilton, Dak has a very nice receiving corps.

 

[GoldenR]

Which weapons? Name them!!!!

You've truly embarrassed yourself all year, just stop.

 

[TheDude]

If thats what you got over a blowout of the Bucs on the road and a hard fought close loss to the best team in the NFL, then that is your opinion.

They beat an 8-9 division winner.

 

[bottleKids]

Let him leave. His D folded like a cheap suit the whole 2nd half.

In the second half they let up 10 f'ing points against Kittle, Samuels, and all the weapons you reference in an earlier post. How is that folding? Be nice to score more than 12 points and not turn the ball over and help our defense.

 

[kramskoi]

LOL.

This is the best Dak excuse yet. The 49ers are sooooooo awesome you shouldn’t expect your highly paid and apparently top shelf QB to play well.

Holy **** dude.

The rehashed excuses are gonna fall in torrents.

 

[kskboys]

Ha! Cowboys had much better receivers in 07 and 09. It's not even close.

No they didn't.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Why do you think it was inevitable that we would lose? Don't give credit to the niners, give blame where it should be for once. It's okay.

Niners are the better team. They have proven that two years in a row.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Which weapons? Name them!!!!

Without Pollard we are thin on weapons no doubt.

Manalive, I really didn't think anyone would still be defending Dak after that poopshow. I mean, he stunk.

 

[kskboys]

Niners are the better team. They have proven that two years in a row.

I don't think so. We were the better team tonite, and were derailed by terrible QB play.

 

[Ken]

QB plays better we win.

It’s just that simple.

Maybe.

If we catch balls thrown to us we win too.

If Pollard doesn't go down for the year...we probably can win too.

Dak didn't play well but there wasn't a lot of help either. The usual formula we have for a loss. 50 yards rushing isn't going to cut it.

 

[TheDude]

I wouldnt expect any QB to have a great game against the Niners D. If you did, then thats on you.

Where were you last week when Dak went for 300 and 5 TD's? Hiding?

Stidham had a better game

 

[Sydla]

Which weapons? Name them!!!!

LOl at blaming lack of weapons for Dak’s play tonight.

I knew you guys would dig deep tonight with the excuses.

His picks had nothing to do with lack of weapons. His two near picks had nothing to do with lack of weapons. He missed open WRs like Hilton on what would have likely been a TD. Had nothing to do with lack of weapons. He had Gallup open late and threw it behind him.

Stop.

 

[TheHerd]

They have to cut him next year. Either take 18M and 12M cap hits, or take 39 on 2024 and then be done

 

[CowboyRoy]

They’ve made the divisional round before. They are no closer than say 2014 or 2018.

Thats your opinion. Cowboys havent had a defense this good in a long time and they are a young defense. Oline revamp is going well. Zeke is easily replaceable.

 

[Adreme]

The Cowboys are right there. Niners are just a little better. In a way I am proud of this team. They showed up today and for at least half of the game, we were the better team. It wasnt like last year where we got embarrassed. We lost, but unlike the gleeful homers I didnt expect us to win. Dak didnt have a great game by any stretch, but again, against the #1 defense on the road I didnt expect him to. Dak is NOT elite. Top 10 but not elite. I thought the defense played great, they just got tired in the 4th quarter. I thought the Oline had a great game.

This game was essentially over the moment Pollard went out. I was proud of the coaching staff. It ONLY took 4 years and one playoff game, but they finally figured out how much better Pollard is than Zeke. They started Pollard and were featuring him until he went down. Sadly we had to depend on the horrid Zeke and the first two drives out of the he basically had 2 yards and 5 touches with 2 dropped passes.

Without Pollard, I think its abundantly obvious that we simply dont have enough playmakers. If I am the Cowboys I find a way to resign Pollard and Shultz and I get out of the Gallup contract if at all possible without much penalty. I make WR a priority in the offseason along with another RB to go with Pollard.

ON the road, this was a game that would come down to a one or two mistake here and there and thats exactly what happened. 2 picks by Dak, which were NOT good throws at all. Even the tipped ball he shouldnt have thrown. But again, was he feeling pressed because we cant rely on our kicker? Who knows? Niners D had 3 chances for picks and they capitalized on two of them. Well done. Cowboys had two easy picks and dropped them both. It matters. If turpin goes to the outside on that kickoff return, he has a easy TD. A few little things here and there.

Cowboys are right there. Niners/Bengals in the SB. Bengals take it all.

No doubt the clowns will blame Dak, Moore, Cooper not being here, yada yada yada so lets hear it all.

This was a very good season and the Cowboys are heading in the right direction with a great young defense and are right there at the top of the NFL in that handful of 6 or so teams that are true contenders.

I agree except I thought the OLine looked terrible. Just were getting dominated inside which basically killed any ability to get the running game going. It was really obvious on the 4th and 1 play where Zeke gets swiped at in the backfield and hit a yard behind the line and has to basically carry them over the LoS just to get that yard. The OLine was simply outmatched which is why it is probably the primary target of the draft and offseason (though there is not much in FA).

What is embarrassing is that you are falling for that they are close
