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.
The powers need to punish you for making false accusations and attacks on posters. You deliberately continue breaking forum rules.

Truth? lol. You and your ilk were so wrong about Edoga and Hoffman.
Wrong? Let's try to keep up here.

We all thought Edgoa at tackle was not the right position for him. He has played well as LG. Which is where our "ilk" said he should be played.

Hoffman did about as well as could be expected on a short week and missing Martin who would have taken over the line calls had he played.

How'd your boy Farniok grade out last week?

Summary: this was just a bad performance by the entire team. I don't think a single player can be satisfied with how they performed in this game.

There are countless threads here blaming Dak, the defense, the coaches, the injuries, the refs, and everything else in between.

And in my opinion, all of them are correct. In terms of a "collective team effort", we saw that in Arizona, in a bad way.

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.
Last year Hankins was a step up from the truly awful Bohanna who *started* 9 games for us and is now on Detroit's practice squad.

People mistake their relief from the end of the truly awful play of Bohanna with Hankins being good.

This about sums up why our run game was trash.

Bottom Five Defensive Players (played majority of snaps)
Jayron Kearse - 34.8
Damone Clark - 45.7
Johnathan Hankins - 48.5
Leighton Vander Esch - 48.5
Donovan Wilson - 49.6

All of them maybe except Damone Clark are mainly run defenders. I seen with my own 2 eyes how terrible Kearse played. Was he injured or something? Just terrible play.

That's stupid rating Dak the 2nd lowest on Offense. Hello, Dak was helping keep this Offense in the game when our WRs struggled all game to get open, along with our Oline struggling to give him constant pass protection while committing continuous costly penalties. The only thing Dak did wrong was forcing that late 4th quarter pass into triple coverage being down two scores and time running out, but Brandin Cooks was as much to blame for not recognizing the intentioned triple coverage in the endzone and instead running fast underneath and in front of the LB for what could have been a wide open catch and run into the endzone. Also, Ferguson was held big time as he stopped and tried to cut back across the middle just short of the goal line. If PFF is using this 1 dumb play against Dak, they are full of crap.
I mean I understand not crapping all over Dak because he certainly wasn't terrible yesterday but acting like he was good is kind of funny. He was just ehhhh.

It's perplexing to me how defensive of him some of you are, even at the expense of throwing other players under the bus just to do it.

Looool......keep telling yourself that if it will make you feel better.
I don't know........... seems to me that there might be some thinking going on in the deep recesses of the Cowboys palatial offices. I am somewhat surprised he hasn't been offered an extension yet and there appears to be little rumor mill spinning about talks.

I really do wonder if Jerry is now wondering if Dak is the guy. I don't think there is a snowball's chance in hell Jerry would have brought in Lance 2-3 years ago. Note, I am not saying Lance is better or will be better. So don't start running with that strawman.

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.
So then don't throw it.

Are you trying to argue here that the interception wasn't a bad play by Dak?

The hit from Lawrence when they converged on Dobbs? He got rocked.
Seems to happen to him every few games. He's a high intensity guy, but I think he needs to learn to pace himself a bit more. There were also a few games last year where it just look like he exhausted himself in the first quarter. I don't know how you coach around that though.

Tend to agree. He goes 100 mph almost every play and throws his body around. On one hand, it's admirable. On the other hand, it should surprise no one he gets nicked up and/or wears down later in the year.

The funny thing here is we are worrying about a guy playing too hard on a franchise where we often were pissed the team wasn't playing hard enough. LOL.
