Pretend you have no idea who the QB in this picture is

He didn’t just move to his left, he moved to his left and UP towards the line.

And you sound like a clown, because if he stepped up, Brown still wouldn’t have been at that spot where he threw it. Dak is running left and up while Brown is running left.
"The spot where he threw it"?

Oh right... you also claim to know EXACTLY where the ball would've ended up had it not "been tipped" (which it wasn't).

Like, EVEN IF it was tipped (which, again, IT WASN'T), how could one POSSIBLY know where the ball was going when it was tipped a millisecond after he threw it????

Quite.
It's comical how many excuses are being reeled out for him.
Now even the first one wasn't his fault, his arm was grazed as he threw it, causing it to fly straight into the arms of a defender, who give credit where due, ran a great route.

His pocket presence and double clutch caused that INT. He also had a wide open Zeke on the checkdown to the left with only 1 defender at least 7 yards off, but Dak was keyed in on the right side reads. That’s also why he bailed early as all the defenders were blocked off. Dak is the reason for that INT period.

Good idea, let's single out one interception that wasn't Dak's fault to excuse him for all the others that were.

nope.. Dak runs straight into the RDE and because of that goes “Kobe!”.. The ball is then tipped by the defender, because of Dak’s horrible pocket presence and mechanics running towards the RDE when he had a clear pocket from the Center. The ball is deflected towards Noah, meaning Dak is probably throwing behind Noah with his hips turned right and it then wobbles. As soon as Noah Turns, the ball is not in a spiral, but wobbling. That’s how it hit Browns hands, wobbling while he’s going down to the ground as the ball is lower than anticipated.
This is actually the worst take I’ve ever seen.

It’s really not even close as I’m not a Dak Homer, whose takes regarding their QB being not at fault are so great in number “worst takes ever seen” are such a regular occurrence it’s so difficult to choose what is the worst take ever seen.

If Prescott doesn't throw the first INT the game ends in regulation with Dallas winning.There is no OT or 2nd INT.

Prescott had a big part in the loss. His INT and lack of situational awareness gave Jacksonville the life it needed to ultimately win the game
if Joseph doesn't give up a 60 yard TD, game is over in regulation. if defense doesn't collapse, then the game is won in regulation. if brown makes a simple pitch and catch, the game is over....if Moore doesn't have a brain faart and throw on 3rd down... a long down field pass no less and instead runs the ball, the game is over....so many ifs

All Cowboys WRs never know where the ball will be delivered.
8 feet high
digging out of the ground
3 feet wide right or left
They are a nervous bunch for sure when delivered between the numbers.
yet, we have two average WRs, three very average TEs, one of whom people want to cut and Dak is third in completion percentage...we either have super duper WRs, who are HOF worthy and we don't know it, or you bullshiet doesn't add up.

It's the reality of the situation currently and will be moving forward.
Ask Arod how he dealt with it.

A picture doesn't lie, but neither does it tell the whole story.

Dak threw the ball before Noah turned his head, so when Noah turned to look for the ball, it was on him within half of a second. So the drop was likely partly due to not reacting in time to catch it.

With such a short pass, Dak could have waited one more blink for Noah to turn his head. So this is a risk Dak took.

Yes, Noah still could have caught it, and is being paid to catch it, but Dak lowered the chance of a catch by throwing such a short pass with the receiver not looking yet. Hard to track the ball in half a second. Look at the play in real time, not in slow-motion...that was not a simple catch, as I've seen many receivers "drop" the ball when the ball arrives faster than the receiver expects (especially on a short throw when the ball isn't in the air long).

BTW, I'm a Dak supporter, so my bias leans towards Dak :D ...but I don't think this was as simple as "Noah dropped the ball". ;)
that's called football. bang bang....in the picture, Noah is looking right at the ball, so he had enough time to recognize the ball was coming and turn his head downwards towards the ball, and the ball still in the air....

and then some people complain Dak doesn't throw before the WRs make the cut, and waits until they look for the ball before he throws. so which is it.

this was clearly, no shadow of a doubt, 100% on brown. he had the position. the ball in perfect place. he took his eyes off the ball a 10th of a second too early, before he actually had the ball in his hands and it went off his hand. even if it wouldn't have been intercepted, it would be his fault. a simple play every other WR makes. Brown didn't. that simple

The offense put up over 30 points. This was a defensive loss.
500 yards given up. on any day, your defense sucks if they did that, no ifs, buts or thens. and it wasn't as if we didn't control the clock. they had it for less than 27 minutes in regulation.

As much as I think Dak is simply an above average bus driver with the talent around him that's 10000% on Brown

My first time seeing this still shot. I'm sorry Dak. I thought it was your fault when clearly you were close to driving us for another big win. Apologies....

This is not the same as a downfield, timing route. Yes, those need be thrown in advance of a break, trusting your receiver to be there.

This was not that. If you don't understand the difference, OK, fine...but there's a difference.

That would have been a tough catch for any receiver. That pic it looks like it was right on him.

In reality…

this ball went over the lineman so brown didn’t see the ball until it was right on him. Add to that he was falling too.

You missed the whole point.

It was about situational awareness and not turning the ball over at that point in the game.

The turnover just accelerated Jacksonville's momentum to where they would eventually take the lead.

That turnover was the beginning of the end and it could have been avoided.

Wonder what other options Dak was sifting through in his head when he had to make that snap decision.
