If Brock Purdy is your Qb when you become one dimensional it’s one thing but when you have 7 year vet making 160Million Dollars you expect him to not cost you the game with 2 picks
Pretty sad once again when a rookie qb showed more poise than daks entire career save last weeks game. Dak just can’t elevate his game. Crazy how much proof some need.

The two Dak interceptions certainly could have cost us the game, but the loss of Tony Pollard was the nail in the coffin, because without him, we just simply weren’t going to move the ball. With Pollard still in the game I think we would have won.
Couldn't agree more, especially with this offense that lacks playmakers outside of those top 3. Gallup once again was a no show.

We've needed better RBs pretty much all season. Once again, the 1st half showed a healthy dose of Zeke & Pollard, but the 2md half stalled. We can learn from the 49ers who traditionally have have a stock of RBs and they just keep bringing in.
You have to ask, the last couple of seasons, what have they done to solidify RB depth?

Well, we have Kellen Moore and they have Kyle Shanahan. I’m sure I could get a 1,000 yards with him lol

We didn’t just lose our best playmaker … it was a clear dirty hit and he knew what he was doing.

Don’t overthink the final play. There aren’t any plays to go 80+ yards
IDK man, was it dirty?

Do pro players do that to each other? I understand the rivalry, but that is going too far, if it was a dirty play, I just lost faith in humanity. I prefer not to think about it.

As for the final play I'm ok with it, just don't call such a stupid circus comical thing that makes the franchise the laughing stock of every water cooler conversation moday morning, the game was lost, have some pride. They shoud not have punted the drive before.

I just realized those 2 horrible plays might end up being the last plays for TP and Zeck in Cowboys uniforms, IDK what we did to piss off the football Gods,but my oh my, fate just seems to be brutal for this franchise.

I'm not. This is something that has been showing signs for a couple of years. Zeke has high mileage and Pollard can't carry the entire season.

Dak lead the the league in INTs and once again showed that he's trash under pressure. We need to improve the OL. Tyron is not a RT. He was abused all night. Connor McGregor isn't an NFL starter. We are paper thin at rb and wr........we need more talent at those positions.

I'm telling you it's the new way to tackle and take out a player. Just ask Mahomes. Same tackle. Worse than the horse collar imo.

Watch the reverse angle. Dude has him tackled and going down and still yanks him backwards. 100% dirty and knew what he was doing. The reverse angle shows it all

Based off what? Pollard wasn't exactly killing it before he got injured

If Dak played well and we lost a good close game, that would be one thing. The Cowboys beat themselves. 2 interceptions and a missed extra point. Can't beat good teams playing like that. Maher didn't even have a chance to fix his problems cause the Cowboys only scored 1 TD.
That missed extra point hurt more then most want to believe.

Jerry pissed off the football gods when he fired Jimmy

Yes, but in spite of all that, you just stated above, we still could have, and should have won the game especially if Pollard didn’t get hurt.

I never said we could of or should have won the game. The Niners are clearly the better team as they were last year.
