Tom Brady is 3-7 at Mile High. The Broncos are 20-1 in September there.

Everybody relax.

I do think the Wentz versus Dak debate is getting interesting though. And the Broncos were ranked 30th in the league against the run last year. Gotta throw them out of that front.

It'll sort out soon. The book is out on Dak, who has been poor in both games so far.

He has a great attitude, however, and I trust he'll figure it out.

Not fair to say he was "poor" in both games. The Gmen are tough on D and have had our number recently. We won. Enough said. He could sue the OL for nonsupport yesterday. Even the best QBs have rough periods. I think you are correct that he will figure it out.

You can't take too much out of any one game. People drew all sorts of hasty conclusions about our defense after the Giants game. And people are drawing all sorts of hasty conclusions about our team after this game. Opponents matter, circumstances matter.

I don't disagree with your post but why say the Dak/Wentz debate is getting interesting?

It's only interesting to Eagle fans or draft pundits that hate to ever admit they were wrong.

I have watched both Eagles games and Wentz hasn't really been much more impressive than Dak. It would be one thing if Wentz was putting up MVP caliber numbers but he barely completed 50 percent of his passes yesterday and honestly...he could easily have 6 picks at this point. He is either very careless with the football or throwing the ball behind the line of scrimmage.

The book is out on Dak because Linny and company are trying to turn him into Romo in this offense. They did the same to Weeds, Cassel, etc. That's not him. He had success last year because they designed the offense around him and what he did well. Now he has the open playbook. He's checking and calling audibles way too much and thinking too much. Which is affecting his accuracy IMO. He needs to progress, but don't turn him into something he's not!

What's interesting about that debate? Wentz is a far superior talent. That jury has long since been dismissed.

I hadn't noticed what you were doing til now... I should read your posts more often.

In reference to the Wentz vs Dak debate, I fear we have seen the Dak's ceiling while it's apparent Wentz has way bigger upside. He passes the eye test and will torch our secondary for year s to come when he peaks

ESPN had a article last in which they interviewed 30 scouts and 22 of them chose Dak over Carson. It's very obvious when you watch them play who is the superior talent. Only people I know who prefer Wentz are Eagles fans and the occasional idiot.

I agree that they are trying to turn him into Romo. Limit him to handoffs, screens and quick slant so that he can maintain his status as ultimate ball control king

Hopefully just a poor performance enhanced by a great defense but we already knew of the weaknesses which were exposed last year against the better defenses we faced .

Dak is not a prolific passer at this time . He's going to struggle without our running game pounding the rock . Our entire team is since it puts our defense on the field more as well.

All teams will take the same strategy but not all teams have the talent to carry it out.

We aren't a good team if we can't run the ball without a gunslinger at QB.

No need to panic. The Cowboys coaches fell right into Denver's trap.

The first few runs were stuffed, so Dallas stopped trying. They should have kept running anyway. I don't care if Zeke ended up with 42 yards on 24 carries, at least the threat would have been there and the passing game might've opened up some.

One more thing- the Cowboys will not face a defense this good, on all three levels, again all season. Take this as a learning experience for Dak and Co. and move on. Time for the Cardinals.
