Of course you take the win but the QB doesnt give you any confidence moving forward

Again, they ran more than they threw the ball. Not sure why you’re complaining.
Not really complaining as we got the w but when you're going against the worst run defense in the league you think you'd want to exploit it a little more than we did is all. It seemed as if we didn't figure that out until the 2nd half. We're out there running reverses out of shotgun like we've got to trick the defense. :huh:

Maybe not you, but I thought it was an actual stat how many people were talking about it.
There is a stat for catchable ints...i am sure it is a next gen stat or something.

Offense has had a problems showing up in the first 2-3 quarters since 2016. It's not a good thing and gets overlooked a lot.

They are handicapped at QB for sure, but you can rule them out with this defense. Not that they are perfect, but they are certainly capable of making enough game changing plays to maybe go on a run in the playoffs.

The QB just missed 5 weeks. He’s got to throw the ball some. We had 34 rushes and 25 passes. I’m fine with that balance.

Huge difference maker.
Absolutely huge.

LOL

But seriously, I'm good with defense, run game and special teams as reasons for team success.

Just don't try to sell me on how Rayne makes the offense so much better when clearly he didnt.

I dont want to hear anymore excuses about a 6 year QB making $40 million.
None of what you said is relevant. A month off takes time to adjust to game speed. There's still a bunch to clean up. This is common. It's not simply an excuse it's how real life works.
His salary and years of experience is an emotional response.

Offense does need areas of improvement. But still got 21 points off of 3 turnovers. Also some claimed that Dak didn't need to play "hero ball" and just needed to rely more on the running game and be an efficient enough QB to lead the offense to a few scores.

And even if Dak put up a 300+, 4 TD performance against the Lions, lots of his critics would have just called it "padding stats" against a 1-4 team and would still be saying he needed to prove himself against the better teams in the NFL.

Against the better teams in the conference if he looked like this vs Lions. There is nothing I seen today from DAK that leads me to believe that he can lead this team to a win over the eagles late in the season or win in the playoffs

Were you saying the same a week ago?

Was it Dak's fault that they couldn't convert many 3rd and shorts on the ground? What about Brown's turnover inside the 10. He hasn't played in a month and a half, there was going to be rust.

You’re implying that Dak should’ve been intercepted more, therefore he didn’t have a good game because of the ints he didn’t have? When you find that stat, see how many Rush should’ve had last week. I counted at least 5.
