One of Prescott's Better Games

In case anyone was wondering how our rookie QB could handle a few mistakes/adversity, I think that was answered in this game. Not much you can do about someone coming from behind swatting the football out of your hands when throwing the ball, but the INT deep in your own territory was certainly not Zak's best. So what does he do? He leads the team on the next series on a long drive to a TD.

And watching the game, I made a comment that it appeared that Dak/Witten were just not in sync and didn't want to do those throws for the rest of the game...but Dak continued to trust his All-Pro TE and completed a couple of critical 3rd down throws to him late in the game to keep drives going, running down the clock and out of the hands of Rodgers.

Bravo...rookie.

I need to rewatch, but didn't Witten drop 2 or 3 passes?

I thought it was his most shaky.

having a defense that gets turnovers can fix everything though.

It was, though he had a lot of good moments, too. Obviously.

I think it was a lot more slippery out there today than it looked like on tv, too. Lot's of weirdness out there today.

Dak told the reporters that he was use to this atmosphere from the conference he played in college. I laughed out loud when they asked him about playing at Lambeau Field and he got the look on his face like "this aint s***". Gotta love this guy and his moxie.....

This was Dak's worst game since his debut. But it was a hostile environment against an aggressive defense.

He made some good plays though.

We have as many as 14 games left after the bye, so if Tony is ready to play, I think they will go with him.

Agreed. Most shaky, but not worst (Giants). I felt it should erase any doubt that Romo should go in once healthy.

He had some good in there too, but definitely his most shaky. He looked more like a rookie.

Dak looked like more than a rookie. The last time we won in Lambeau was what, 2008? And we came in and won without our best WR. He had his shaky moments this game with the turnovers, but he rebounded after them and we came out with the W.

Why should Romo go in? Slo we can lose a game because Romo is rusty? We play the Eagles after a bi-week. I would wait till Prescott really plays bad to warrant replacing him.

Its kinda silly to replace someone who threw 3 TDs. The INT was bound to happen.

Because he is easily the better QB. Pretty simple. That's like asking why the Pats didn't stick with Garapolo.
