The first was entirely his fault. He overthrew the receiver into the arms of the safety.

The second one should’ve been caught, but all things being equal, those type of flukes don’t generally happen to “make your own luck” teams. Those are the type of things that happen to Garrett led teams. Tashard Choice anyone?

Dak has the worst TD/INT in the league I believe since he came back. It’s a Dak problem.

So Brown missing a pass that bounced off his chest is a Dak problem? Thats some A+ analysis right there.

Did I say it was Dak’s fault?

No. I said those type of flukes generally don’t happen to “make your own luck” teams.

You should read more carefully without Dak blinders on.

I said the worst TD/INT ratio in the league since he came back is his problem.

Some are his problem, some are the receivers problem.

Since Dak has come back we are 6-2. Who is blind?

It's a legit question.......one word, inconsistency. Whether it's the offense or defense we see critical breakdowns game after game.

Who are you, really, Dallas? Last two weeks: Texans/Jags 63, Cowboys 61. With the 13-1 Eagles and desperate Titans on tap the next two weeks, Dallas risks being in a slump entering Wild Card weekend.


Offensive players of the week
Trevor Lawrence, quarterback, Jacksonville. Another great afternoon for the upstart Jags, another great afternoon for the rising star Jag quarterback. Going against the NFL’s number five defense, Lawrence went up and down the field on the Cowboys all day with four TDs, three of them in a nine-minute span in the second half. Every week, there’s another good defense to test himself against—Baltimore, Tennessee, Dallas in the past month—and Lawrence keeps passing the tests.






Yep this team is incredibly inconsistent, this includes Dak for sure.

You know how catfish have this really weird look in their eyes and there's just not much going on in their heads?

Dak reminds me of that, especially after he throws an interception.

Its funny how all the football talking head talk about injuries when it comes to other teams but not with the Cowboys. This team is really beat up now missing 4 starters on defense. They injuries are not an excuse. Of course it's an excuse. and a damn good one. The reason backups are backups is because they are not as good as the starters. Lose 4 starters and it is going to show on the field.
Look at San Fran......a host of injuries and they're still clicking. Depth and talent evaluation goes a long way.

You are. The fact that you couldn't read my post correctly initially shows that.

Are you really going to try and argue that the majority of Dak's interceptions are due to the receivers like what happened to Noah Brown and had zero to do with Dak? Don't even try.

10-4 makes you look ridiculous. Your Dak sucks campaign just went in the toilet.

I read it quite clearly. You said Dak keeps making mistakes with his two picks.

We are not even discussing this if they just forced Jacksonville to use their last timeout. This is completely on that fraud Mike McCarthy. McCarthy has made a lot of money because of Rogers. Part of his income should go to Rogers.

It's terribly faulty logic to assume Jacksonville would have played their final drive the same with a timeout versus without a timeout.

We are likely not much different than past Cowboys teams that look good in the regular season, kind of scuffle and start leaking water late and get bounced early in the playoffs. They've done nothing to prove any other assumption at this point. Struggling with bad teams and blowing big leads are just an early sign of what is likely to come.

I think it's going to be the same ole' Cowboys. I had hope the first part of the season, but unfortunately, yesterday took the air out of my sails because it's clear to me this defense is going to let the team down. They're really banged up, thin, and can't be trusted. Everybody (as usual) is busy arguing over Dak when it's clear this defense is going to be the major problem. Anybody feeling confident they would be able to slow a 49ers or Eagles down when it matters?

The expectation is that something will fail at some point in that first or divisional playoff game. Dak may play well and the defense will fold. Or Dak and the O will scuffle and the defense will play well.

I can't assume this team is about to go on a playoff run here given their consistency in spitting the bit come postseason. So for me it's see it to believe it time. Could they make the NFCCG? I guess. They have enough talent that if they get really hot, they can get past the 49ers or Eagles. But am I expecting that? Nope.

They have a very clear identity and it’s been the same one for 2 decades.

Soft as hell.

We’re the team everyone hopes to draw in the playoffs because the rest of the league knows this team wants no part of a back alley brawl. They’ll lay down as soon as they get hit in the mouth.
