Yep and still only managed to lead the team to 2 FGs in the first 28 min until Pollard punched it in. Went the whole first half with no TD passes. In the meantime Tua was chucking bombs down in Miami with far less time. Thank you defense were winning the game and giving Dak a big cushion to get going.
What a silly biased take

The people who like the post should make you ashamed

Yep and they ended with 2 FGs and one of those they had to go for it on 4th down. Oh and one of those drives for a FG was one big chunk play to Lamb for 49 yards. And things stalled.
Both drives ended with dropped passes, one of which was in the end zone. Blame the tight ends Ferguson and Hendershot for dropping the passes.

Dak did not have a clean pocket all day, a few times the pressure arrived a bit early.

And I still think Dak holds the ball a bit too long for my tastes. And he has good pocket presence, but not elite pocket presence...as sometimes the pocket starts to collapse and he doesn't quite feel it. Part of this issue is that Dak's release isn't super quick, so if the pressure gets close, Dak may not be able to get the ball out cleanly.

So, ultimately, I think the o-line is going to have to hold up really well, else the Cowboys passing game will be mediocre, especially on 3rd and 8+ when Dak needs to hold the ball longer.
Two seconds isn’t fast enough? Fastest of all QBs is slow? Not sure what you’re looking at but it wasn’t the game on Sunday.
