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

Underachievers?

Thats odd, I dont recall you predicting another 12 win season and a playoff win. Something tells me you were one of the guys predicting a shot back down around 500.

And if you thought we should have won this game on the road against the Niners than I have to question your ability to analyze football.

For me this team did about exactly what I thought they would. Niners were the better team.
Most fans can’t handle this reality.

Ok, well we can disagree on that. Niners Dline and front 7 is the best in the NFL.

Zeke just sucks. Pollard was getting his yards before he got hurt. I guess what I mean is considering who they were playing they held their own.
Pollard had 6 carries for 22 yards and they were running him outside with a long of 10 or 3.7 YPC overall. So Pollard had one good run and was otherwise a non factor. They were running it outside with Pollard because they could not run it inside because they were simply outmatched. I get why they were outmatched because the 49ers front 7 is that good but I cannot say the OLine played well when they got outmatched like that.

Like the High but Caught pass to Gallup and some other plays by Dak that made me cringe early on. Dak had some help last week.
1 high threw says you? When was that? Cowboys dropped 3 passes on the first drive and we punted. Nice try thought.

QB's always have help. When winning and losing. Just like this week.

I think the biggest problem is Dak sucks at making plays outside the system.

If he was more athletic and could actually extend plays then maybe he wouldn’t have these freak out moments like he does.

But the guy is just nothing special with the brand of football he plays and Dallas asks him to do things he’s just not capable of.

Dak vs Purdy was a clear advantage in the Cowboys favor but Dak just could never generate offense.

We had the ball before half and right after half and did nothing with it. That’s when the 9ers won that game.

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.
They have a QB problem. He’s just not good enough to take them where they need to go. That’s become obvious over the last two postseasons.

Moral Victory! I guess we have been clinging on to these for the last 30 years.
Those are your words. I said nothing about a moral victory.

Niners were the better team. I have been saying that for a week.

Stop. Stop with the “buts”.

Dak was the single biggest reason we lost. It’s that simple. Two bad picks that cost us points. He missed open WRs for big gains. He was awful tonight.

I get it. You guys have invested so much into defending him over the years it’s just natural to want to blame others too.

But better QB play tonight regardless of what happens to Pollard and we win. He was that bad, that off.

Time to accept reality. He’s a decent QB. He’s not much better than that and he’s not really a big game QB either.
Yes, against the #1 defense in the league that knew our offense better than we did.

That is the part that drives me nuts. YES, Dak didn't play good and I cursed at my tv multiple times today. This is a personnel and system issue. As it was last year.

We couldn't run the ball. AGAIN. You can't beat that defense being one-dimensional. You just cant.

K, wait...clowns blame Dak? Are you suggesting he isn't to blame for the loss? His INT's had nothing to do with the game? You also do realize that like half our defense are UFA's next year, right? There is no positive to take from this loss unless you are happy with being the wicked step child of the NFC yet again

Where were you last week when Dak had 5 TD's? Hiding?

So tell me Mr. Genius who should be leading this team? Andy Dalton? LOL

Where were you last week when Dak threw for 5 TD's? Hiding out under a rock?
:facepalm: I have no response , as I don’t talk to rocks. Nor hide under them.

Why would anyone listen to you? You were the guy that said Andy Dalton would be better than Dak?

Yeah, you did. You said they showed up. That's like a pre-requisite. The offensive was god awful, and they lost to Mr. Irrelevant, who went out there looking like a 10 year pro. Dak on the other hand, looked like a rookie.

But that’s assuming the rest of the team is. Is Purdy enough to take our team where it needs to go? How about Cousins? Or anyone left in playoffs not named Mahomes, Wilson , or Burrows. Maybe even Hurts.

Problem is there’s only a handful of Elite QB’s at best. The rest you have to build a better team around. And hope these QB’s play their best games on the biggest stages.

It’s a QB issue too.

You continue to ignore that reality.
