This next part of the schedule is actually pretty tough with the Bears, Packers, Vikings and Giants coming up.

This is where I've been critical of Dak in the past, but if he can come out of these next 4 games with 3 wins, that should be enough to keep us in it, especially if he's able to beat the Giants.

We shall see. I think he can with our defense.

Should be an interesting stretch.

I think Dallas matches up favorably with all of those teams, and there is no better time than in a few weeks to get that monkey off our back AKA Aaron Rodgers

Indeed. It's a good time for that group of opponents coming up, from all ends of the power rankings. Bears is one more good game for Dak getting into shape. Vikings are top notch right now, a real test. GB is struggling but they don't wanna be there. So that should be a game of character, of who wants it more. And the the Giants wanting to know what's up in the east and revenge for losing against our backup QB.

Some good stories in these games but with the defense at their best and Dak hopefully at the top of his game again we should prevail. I hope for a 3-1 score at least. Oh, and let's hope MM takes over calling offensive plays. :D

The Bears stormed back last night. Makes Sundays game more interesting, but Dallas should be able to win.

Bye week is coming at a great time.

We go on the road to face a dejected GB team. We OWE Rodgers some payback, and you KNOW mcCarthy is ready to make a statement there. After the bye as well? Dallas may very well beat the brakes off the Pack.

@ Minny… tough place to play. I could see us struggling after a big game the week before. I could see us dropping this one unfortunately.

NYG… the most important game of the stretch. At home. Division game. Against a team punching above their weight. I think the fairytale ends for the Giants and they come into this game already having lost a couple more games. Dak does what he does vs the NFCE: Win.

It's more than just Dak, I mean he has to show up, but more importantly I want to see the offense as fired up as the defense. No coming out with false starts and holding. As far as I'm concerned MM is totally responsible for this offense being prepped. He's got nothing to do with the defense or special teams, he's a offensive guy, have them ready to play, or hit the road

i can’t agree more about the NYG. they’re fighting above their weight and they’re gonna get Knocked the hell out by us.

chicago worried me more than the packers tbh. Fields is gonna be a nightmare to stop his annoying runs

This team already has an identity……rely on defense and special teams with a controlled running offense that limits turnovers. That is a winning formula :thumbup:

Sure, but let's see if Dak can win at least 2 of 3 games against winning team, which is something he hasn't done consistently enough in his career.

I support Dak, for the most part. But establishing an identity as a team on both sides of the ball takes more than a few games. I want to see if they're able to win 3 of 4, if not 4 of 4, against potential playoff teams.

If they do that, then they will be considered a legitimate contender... and it'll prove they have the potential to win several in a row, like a team needs to do during the playoffs.

Again..........LEARN FOOTBALL!!!! QB's dont win or lose games, teams do. Blame or credit will be given dependent on how the games actually pan out and who plays well and who doesnt.

Already, before the games are even played your putting sole blame or credit on Dak Prescott ONLY.

This is what trolls do.

LEARN FOOTBALL!!! Stop being QB challenged.

The Bears and Packers have losing records and the Vikings and Giants don’t. Doesn’t look too much different from us already playing the Eagles, Giants, Bengals and Rams with none of those teams having losing records. (commanders and Bucs withstanding).

we’ve already played the hardest part of the schedule and the defense and ST have been the teams strength. If the offense can catch up the skies the limit in the NFC……but not the AFC. Our offense wouldn’t score until garbage time against a team like the Bills

While you learn what? Idiocy? How to troll like a boss?

Try reading. I'll give you lessons.

I've had great success in my years of teaching special students like yourself.

You're right.

I just want to see them do it with their starter, that's all.

I'm personally glad Dak is back. Now I just want to see him do what he's paid to do.

I thought he did great last game just driving the bus, which is what his focus should be on this team. Let's see if he can just do what he was born to do: drive the bus.

I wish Tad would spend more time waxing Daks Bentley instead of propping him up here in the forum

:laugh:

I don't want to stoop to his level, but damn, that guys says a lot for someone who never says anything.

There is nothing you could ever teach me. I am way beyond your years.

Consequently you have no idea how to judge QB's. You still havent figured out the simple concept that QB's dont win or lose games, teams do.

Until you understand this very simple concept you might as well just stay out of any rational conversations about QB's.

Dak is paid to score points and run the offense. Thats all that QB's can do.

And its quite obvious that Dak is going to have to do more than just drive the bus if this team is going to be a true contender. Again, learn football.

A rational conversation? You'd have to spit out the jock strap first.

This is our identity.

Play championship level defense.
Play great ST.
Play mistake free balanced offense.

We've been doing that for the most part of the season. The offense needs to step up and do its part. Not just Dak but the whole offense including the coaches.
