I never said he got no credit. We are talking about "the difference."

I know you guys are all fanboi and cannot handle anything other than your golden child being exalted but it is what it is. The difference in the second half was the OL more than any other factor.

He played well, threw the ball well, had 3 TDs and no picks and they won. There's no fan boying involved to be impressed. Crediting only the o line is either calculated or you're being obtuse.

Dude, the OL played great after the first quarter. But Dak still has to make the smart throw, the tough throw, and avoid negative plays. The OL gives the QB a chance, but the QB still has to make those plays.

Again. I am talking about 'the difference.' Until you recognize that and actually argue that the OL was not a bigger difference you will just miss my point.

I can't wait until the NFL institutes concussion protocol for fans. You have certainly sustained a head or rear injury. Get this man a foam helmet and a donut to sit on!

I'm not calling for Romo either.
Man...if his back wasn't an issue, I would definitely have more reservations. Watching the team this year is rather surreal. Who could have guessed at this current situation four months ago? I vacillate between unmitigated elation and the sobering, morose realization that Romo's window in Dallas is being nailed shut with every 400+ yd offensive performance the team puts out. It must be a real tough thing for him to watch as well.

question is what did the OL do in the 2nd half that it did not in the 1st?
besides just play better...

They were reaching their men on the second level and passing people off on blitzes and stunts/twists specifically.

Really bad is really bad. You can spin that any way you want but we all saw it. He looked bad to start the game and then looked good. I have no agenda rather I call them like I see them. Had he looked good to start this game it would have been untouchable.

This narrative that Dak has been 'really bad' is completely ridiculous. You're not calling them like you see them at all. You're harping on a few bad passes. That's it. Not a sack/fumble. Not a INT/TD the other way. But literally a FEW bad throws. That happens to literally every QB in every game in every division across the entire league.

We're being spoiled when we think a few bad passes is 'really bad' from our QB. Maybe really bad to how he usually performs? But league-wide, 'really bad' is very obviously really bad

Ok so let me get this straight.... for first 8 wins, it was oline and running game especially that won this game, this game when running game was no where near as existent, now it is just oline dominance???? :huh:

wow I guess Romo absolutely sucks too because 2014 was first year that everyone was uniform in their thinking Romo was a good QB, but here it was that awesome oline all along.....
But you know what, that doesn't explain last year when we had same oline.... maybe Cassell, Moore, and all the other walk on QBs just had better things to do than to help the oline win games.

sorry, but that 9-1 record so far says YOU are wrong, you prove him wrong. He sidelined Romo. Get over it. There are always divisive fans with this team. not sure why

it seems every week we need to collect ourselves at halftime.
are these adjustments huge so that we can make them during the 1st half?

The OL played a major role, for sure. But Dak puts the points on the board. The QB will always play a bigger role than the OL.

I think haters in the first quarter were salivating over the fact that Dak was struggling with a few bad passes, thinking they were gonna finally have a tidbit of argument to back up their hate for anyone not named Romo, but then have freaked out more and more after that knowing they are gonna have to come up with some more bogus bcrap like "its all Oline". Why are you even on this forum?

Yes I said it against Pittsburgh, a of of veterans would have come unhinged after that fumble lead to a quick TD the other way. Not him. He is as tough as a two dollar steak.
stop eating at dennys bro.

Dak could not have performed as he did had the OL not gotten their **** together. I'm talking cause and effect. You are making a value judgment.

No NFL is going to be winning 14-0 every game, the main point is making adjustments and getting the win

Narrative??? I call them like I see them. You are the one pushing a narrative. I have nothing against Dak and wish the best for him but I do call them like I see them. Had he started the way he finished this game would have been out of reach. Do you care to argue that point and make yourself looks silly

Why did Romo play like POOP when he had time to throw? Just accept the Romo era is over and get over it
