Dak missed two touchdown passes in the Redzone (One to Cooks and the other to Gallup) and threw that horrible interception to basically end any chance that we had.

What??? You don't even know what you're talking about.

At the 6:56 mark, this has to be the pass attempt to Cooks in the end zone which you are referring to. Uhhh, Cooks was well covered. He never created any separation to help Dak get him the football. The result of the play was incomplete due to super tight coverage.



I don't remember any bad throw from Dak to Gallup. Please refresh my memory.

As for the end zone INT, go to the 10:42 mark. That INT was more on Cooks than it was Dak. Cooks should have been smart enough to realize the Cardinals were surrounding him with triple coverage in order to keep him from catching the pass in the end zone. What Cooks should have done is realized how the LB was playing at the goal line and leaning towards Cooks. Cooks should have cut his end zone route and kept running inside and run horizontally past the LB. CeeDee had already cleared out all of the space to the right of the LB. Cooks could have run a short slant/cross in front of the LB and been wide open for an easy catch-n-score TD.



This other video shows a better view. Plus, pay attention to Ferguson on the left side. He was clearly held as he ran a shallow flats route to the left, then stopped and tried to run back across the short middle. The DB clearly held Ferguson. That should have been a flag, but once again, the crooked refs help the opposing team.

You are so wrong on every point concerning Dak.

Listen brother, I love Dak as much as you do but he himself takes the blame for the loss and the interception. He said himself he tried to fool the linebacker by looking him off. The pass to Cooks should have been low not high. The Gallup pass should have been thrown earlier and deeper. The ref picked up the flag on that call.

Wait. I have been told at this very board that Mazi sucks and Hankins is doing his thang.

This board is often worse on player evals than PFF, and that's saying something!

PFF at least tries to watch players

Sorry, but Dak always takes the blame. He never blames any of his teammates. You know this. Cooks was well covered. No lower thrown pass would have got to him. That DB was on him like glue. The pass to Gallup was clear pass interference. The refs got it wrong. According to the rules, that was clearly pass interference. Gallup was able to jump up and reach over the DB's head while able to touch the ball with both hands while the DB never turned around or looked at the ball. All the DB did was drive himself straight through Gallup. 100% pass interference and everyone knows it. Once again, that INT is way more on Cooks than Dak. You (Cooks) clearly see the LB looking and leaning towards you as the ball is snapped. Plus, the two DBs are covering the middle of the endzone TO STOP YOU FROM GETTING OPEN IN THE ENDZONE. Just cut your route short and run across and past the LB for what would have been a wide open target for an easy target. Plus, once again, Ferguson was held on that play! Where was the flag???

You guys are so hell bent on looking for anything to bash Dak, you're clearly not paying attention to the game and what precisely is happening and why.

I don't agree with all these grades but I think they hit the right guys with low scores.

Kearse had an awful day. Let's see if that becomes a trend.

The biggest disappointment might have been Donovan Wilson. He was missing in action. The first two weeks, Juanyeh Thomas and Markquese Bell were making plays in the run game and they hardly played this week. Wilson is coming back from injury so maybe he needs to shake of the rust, but they needed the safeties this week and they were not there.

I am really worried about Damone Clark. He is showing signs of the same problems LVE has with recognition and instinct. Here I thought the LB was a position of strength and it may be just the opposite.

I don't get the Hankins grade though. I'd have to watch the game again. But according to Next Gen stats 207 of the Cardinals 222 yards rushing were outside the tackles. The problem is not Hankins, it is the LBs and safeties and their grades reflect where the problem really was.

On offense it is no surprise to see Bass and Hoffman on the bottom. I am surprised Hoffman scored better than Bass but Bass had a bad day.

I don't think they are using Cooks correctly. He needs to get downfield. Throwing him all those short passes and passes over the middle in the end zone seems foolish to me. The guy is 5'8" (no matter what the press releases say). Dak having to hit him over the middle in the end zone is a low percentage play.

I was good to see Gallup step up when CeeDee was almost taken out of the game.

It is hard to imagine with 2 offensive linemen scoring so low and Edoga probably wasn't far behind them, that the injuries on the OL did not impact the outcome of the game.

This what someone that knows they’ve been wrong for years and is starting to come to that conclusion acts like.

You go down with that ship now. Your credibility will never recover.

Mazi probably didn’t even play enough snaps to be up there lol. Probably was the worst.

The point isn't Mazi's grade, the point is how low Hankins graded and how I've been told by pontificators on this very site that Hankins is balling out. Clearly, this is evidence he is not.
