up:

Sean Lee. 18 tackles. Best linebacker in the league. Period.

pretty much the entire defense other than Carr.

Down:

The entire offense really but it obviously comes down to two. Dak and Dez.
Dak was clueless tonight. Holding the ball way too long, bad throws, turnovers, etc. has the league caught up to him?
Dez- easily the most overrated player on the team, perhaps the league. forget top 5, he isn't in the top 10 list of receivers

Linehan- we can only hope some team is foolish enough to hire him away. No screens, no draws, no hot routes? His refusing to adjust and refusing to stick to the run is mind boggling. The stealers have Bell 42 touches yesterday

I don't think the league has 'caught up' to Dak. I think he really struggled in the cold weather. Passes had no zip and just sailed. A lot of players seemed to have probs with the weather last night

Weather did not seem that bad to me, did not even see many slips at all. Was just dry and low 30's. We need another receiver no doubt.

Weather has nothing to do with terrible footwork and mechanics, let alone decision making.

There were some guys who slipped, like Dez on the pick, but that had nothing to do with Dak's play.

For sure, he had a bad game all around.

But the cold was clearly a factor--for Dak and several others. You'd be blind to ignore that

It wasn't for Dak. He was making the same mistakes he's made throughout the year.

Uh huh, yeah right. His completion % plummeted when it had been around 66% after 12 games. This game was the outlier, not the norm. Number prove that, your agenda doesn't

Why was he under 50% in the Philly game?

He can't yet consistently handle the blitz is the answer, not the dang weather.

Wasn't there a Stat last night that proved the opposite?!

Just add Lee and Zeke to 2014 and we may have had our Super Bowl win. All fantasy though.

Focusing on the here and now, I think they rebound this week.

Blaming the cold is a cop out. I wasn't at the game, but I live very near by. It was cold, but there was no wind.

Sorry, he is a professional athlete. Our offense went up to play in Green Bay two years ago and it was like 5 degrees and we moved the ball fine.

Dak played scared last night. There is no other way to say it.
