Video: Poll - Prescott to Olawale TD Incompletion

[kskboys]

Boggling to me that half of us think they drop was Dak’s fault.

Microanalyzing and agenda confirmation bias.

 

[bcavi]

Dak threw a catchable ball, Olawale whiffed (should have been a poll option), not even a drop. He did not even touch the thing. Extend his arms even a little bit and this would not be a conversation. Not sure this is worth hyper-analyzing, but some of you actually blame Dak? Blame him for bad missed throws or holding the ball too long, but after this play I would not be screaming at my QB for a "terrible" pass, but O would have gotten the 3rd degree for an inexcusable missed opportunity, 1st down or TD. He should have caught a catchable ball, how this is twisted any other way is mind boggling.

You can say that again!

Jackie Smith would've caught that pass.

Bad throw and Jackie has been blamed for all these years. Just like Crayton for a drop on an imperfect pass.

 

[kskboys]

Some of you really need to make it a point to go watch Tom Brady. He throws passes all over the place to Edelmann and White and whomever and they go and get it. Seriously, yes, the pass could have been better, no question there, but it was plenty good enough. Passes from the QB in generally are not perfect. In fact, when a pass is perfect, the announcers go on and on about it, and they often pick one or two to show ad nauseum on BSPN.

GO WATCH SOME OTHER QB's. And not on the highlight reel.

No, I am not defending Dak. I am defending this one pass by Dak. Overall, kid needs to improve in several areas.

Yup. Just depends on the bias of the viewer.

 

[FTWayne]

it was catchable, and should have been caught.

 

[Runwildboys]

The OP ( ) stated 'physically incapable' according to what some members had inferred or flat out stated--namely that Olawale would have broken the laws of physics in order to make the catch. Of course, the video suggests otherwise in my highest opinion.

Oh, is that what you meant? I took it to mean he wasn't physically talented enough.

So you're saying the pass could've been better, which is how most of us voted. Only 1.1% said it was uncatchable.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Lol 220 voted for difficult catch? For who a 3 year old?

 

[kskboys]

So you're saying the pass could've been better, which is how most of us voted. Only 1.1% said it was uncatchable.

Sure. Looking at it from that angle, all passes could be better. Very few perfect passes out there. In fact, so many passes could be better that it's really not even worth mentioning!!!!!!

Yes it is!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't look that way to me. From the poll, there are only 5 that said it was uncatchable.

If the poll would have said:

Pass could have been a little better, it should have 99.9% been caught anyway.

I think you would see a vast majority vote for it.
That is also not blaming him for the pass.

 

[DallasEast]

Oh, is that what you meant? I took it to mean he wasn't physically talented enough.

Nope. What you took as 'wasn't physically talented enough' is what I meant for the option: Olawale was incapable of catching the pass & should not have been on the field. There were a couple members making that assertion before I made the poll also.

 

[Dante54]

From my observation it’s a horrible play call from the 5 yard line and designed to throw it a blocking fullback lol Blake Jarwin should’ve been in the backfield. This is not about bashing the Cowboys when they lose this is about playcalling this is about execution and the number one problem the Cowboys have is adjusting during the game. They came in with the same game plan every week never make adjustments and easy to scheme against. The knowledgeable cowboy fans will understand that Garrett and Linehan Offense is old and predictable. Yes we will win but we will never win against big-time teams in the playoffs with a screen from the 1980s

 

[silvrNblue]

Dak supporters - "greatest pass in NFL history dropped by scrub FB."

Seriously? THATS All you got? Your either a total idiot or blind. Watch the play dufus, dude just DROPS it... any player worth their salt could have made that catch. And yea I'm calling him a scrub... IF he was worth a crap, he would be on the field EVERY game EVERY play.

 

[silvrNblue]

It wasnt that hard of a catch, agreed. But the guy was wide open again.

SO, I guess DAK needs to throw the pass, and then run out and CATCH it himself? Grief, you frigging people won't be happy until were a complete wash...

 

[Starforever]

Should not have been in the game; or if in game, should have been decoy for someone else getting the pass. Dak should stop fading backward on his passes. A possible seven points to avoid the dreaded shutout.

why? He has played 7 years in the league and this was not his 1st time having a pass thrown to him.
