If I had Brady, I’d pass every play. I think in the past we beat him with a Passrush. I wouldn’t sit back with DBs, I’d probably run some kind of 34 defensive and pressure Brady. He’s got the RB, slot dump off passes down so that will be frustrating.

We have never beaten Brady.

Other than CeeDee, Dak has no weapons, especially those that get any separation and open. Did you not see the Commanders game last week?
He has Pollard and Schultz is pretty good recieving TE. He has Hilton and Gallup who he never targets. Zeke should be running routes. Problem with Dak is he doesn't hit those slam dunk short passes with the guy on the run. He is too hot or miss and needs a stationary target. Against these better teams you gotta hit these players in stride or before they come out of their break the ball needs to be in the air.

The coverage and pass rush came together for the Commanders. Dallas was flat and the game plan was vanilla but suddenly the Cowboys tried to turn it up and couldn't. Dak is absolutely not the answer for this team. Sometimes when a team struggles the QB must step up and lead by example to get the team out of a funk. I fully expect to see this happen again be it the BUCS or the following game. It's just who he is!
So Dak is supposed to pass block while also run crisp routes to gain separation and get open? That's not including the playcalling and poor route concepts that actually don't help your QB or receivers to get open? That's all on Dak, huh?

There is more in play here than simply blaming everything on the QB. Do you even watch and study film to see what is truly going on and why?

Makes no difference when they play us. Like playing a team with an O-line in shambles and we don't sniff the QB, we never seem to be able to exploit weak areas consistently.

We really need to mix it up on defense Monday night. 3, 4 and even 5 man fronts to keep TB uncomfortable. Go from max pressure to max coverage. Move him off his spot with safety blitzes. Above all, we can't give up freebies by playing 10 yds off the WRs. Brady will dink and dunk all night. He's incredibly patient but at the same time, hates to hold the ball. Employ almost a bump and run coverage and make Brady hold that ball the extra second. Sacks and Ints will come.
Big dime

Oh it's not all on the QB. But we're sick and tired of hearing excuses. Dak plays a big part in these losses. There are things a QB can do to adjust for playing against a good pressuring defense and if you don't have a QB that can make those plays with some kind of consistency you gonna lose. Dak needs too much time in the pocket and he gets that against the bad teams but against the better teams he lacks the ability to speed up his internal clock to get rid of the ball quicker and doesn't use ball placment, timing or anticipation.

What a bunch of nonsense. Repeatedly, videos of different games show differently.
