The answer is obvious why Cowboys struggle on the road and against winning teams

[TheMightyVanHalen]

I mean.. its been clear to people who arent blinded by their homerism, Dak has been the main issues in big games and games against good teams on the road. its all mental with him. he has the ability but freezes in big moments in big games.

The MAIN reason? LMAO! Your avatar shows your agenda. Go back and look to see Parsons stats (sacks and tackles) in those 3 49ers games. And look at the QB pressures in these big games. Even the great Tom Brady folds under pressure. See the playoff games he lost against the Jets, Ravens and in the SB against the Giants. You anti-Dak/Cowboys Cult members are hilarious.

Why do the Cowboys struggle with winning on the road and against teams with winning records?
The answer is two fold but also intertwined. The cowboys win when they take the ball away from the opponent’s offense. Some of those turnovers resulted in touchdown scores for the Pokes. We got a bunch at the beginning of the season not many lately.
Dak is a front runner. Give him a lead and he gets very comfortable. Make him work from behind and he reverts to bad Dack. You can see it in his eyes. Now there is a third component. Opponents hold Micah on almost every play. Only two holding calls against those holds. This has significantly reduced the number of sacks to help our offense. I think the in look y sack we got in Buffalo was from Mazi. That should tell us what is going on. Same for Armstrong, Fowler, and Williams. When was the last time you heard their names called?
Lastly, the NFL now endorses gambling and yet refs earn meager salaries compared to players and coaches. Consider the possibilities!

Me take is the on the road teams always play up to us and their fans pile on with their loudness.

Mods, tha post is blasphemy!

He (I assume) is using the names of Brady (7 Super Bowl wins) and Dak (2-4 in playoffs) in the same post.

Me forum brothers, light a prayer candle and recite a novena to get us over this blasphemy!

All I know is that Lebanon better watch out now...

Funny how his "freezes" seem to happen when the OL can't block

Dak ain't elite, but he kills that whole "front runner" narrative that your trying to push.


Dak killed your narrative in his first 3 seasons in the NFL. In his first 3 seasons, he had 14 game winning drives. No quarterback in NFL history had 14 game winning drives in their first 3 seasons since 1960.

Again, that was just his first 3 seasons. Do I need to toss in the other game winning drives he's led since then?? Again, Dak is not an elite quarterback, but he sure is a damn good one. It's no need to lie on this man.

 

[OGSixshooter]

This is so close to being correct until the nonsense about Dak.

Dak is 6-30 when down by 2 scores. Too small a sample size?

So? Do all the other quarterbacks now lol

It also has nothing to do with the OP, or what I was responding to.

last three games against the 49ers... 10, 12 and 17 points scored LOLOLOLOL .. yeah.. Dak isnt the problem.

If you really believe that, why would you watch it?

Why do people watch a Keno board for hours knowing they'll lose?

[Eddie]

You mean like in Miami when he drove the team down the field for a TD to take the lead late in the 4th Q?

But only scored 20 points the entire game.

I stopped reading after this, especially since Dak brought the team back from being behind and taking the lead with 3 minutes left in the game against the Dolphins.

offensive line and defense... It's pretty clear losing in the trenches gonna get you beat every time against the better teams on the road our defense has been inconsistent at best I've seen them look like the reason we losing most of these games all we have to do is make one last stop nothing else mattered that happened in that game except for they were handed a lead late in the 4th and couldn't hold it this literally got walked down the field like it was practice...

 

[blueblood70]

But only scored 20 points the entire game.

Used to be the first team to score 20 should win the game since when has this become a thing where you have to score more than 20 points last I checked the top ten defenses of all time held teams under 13 points you had it 20 to 19 lead and all you had to do was hold them for one last drive that's it that's on the defense bud you expecting this offense to have to score 30 to win that's the old Tony Romo days that's the old DAP days that's not the bragging about how great this defense is supposed to be they can't even make a stop that counts on the road against better teams it's the defense that's been the problem and sometimes the offensive line or the run game but it's ridiculous to think that you need to score more than 20 like 20 is sad no 20 should get you a win... The expectations that what happened say in the Seattle game is supposed to happen every week no the expectations is you go by each game and the game flow the offense found its grip gave you a lead and you lost it rather easily I mean it's like our defense had a bet on the game you know they had all their money on Miami you might want to do an investigation cause that's what it looked like..... In my opinion the 22 points they gave up was 2 points too many... That's literally their job they were given a lead with very little time left and they blew it just like they did Prescott's rookie year just like they did with the Rams game just like they didn't become very opportunistic last year against the 49ers when you're losing by one score but you go back and look there are opportunities to seal the game if the defense played like a championship defense,

you know the one that they claimed hey if you just play conservative, you could use Cooper rush at quarterback and win games all day long here!!!

that was a lie...

 

[Pokes12]

Ultimately the Cowboys are a good team but far from elite. As everyone knows the team has no general manager, has a used up coach and a slightly above quarterback. The defense is good but also not elite. The middle of the defense remains the weakest part of the defense, as it has been for years. The team has no killer instinct. They are front runners with fear in their eyes when playing the 49ers. This is not a super bowl contender, no matter how many games they win in the regular season. It is incomprehensible to me that the Eagles out trade us every year and manage the salary cap much better than we do. They trade a feckless QB (Carson Wentz) for Colts 2021 third-round pick and a 2022 conditional first-round pick while we traded Amari Cooper for a gum band and two nickels from the Browns. Jerruh's obsession with paying sub-par players big money and parting with great players is equally astonishing. Dak, Mike and Dan got to go. We need to start again with people who want to win and not just say they want to win. Players that put up rather than promise they will improve and do not. For thirty years Jerruh has sold a mediocre product while his pocket has been overfilled with dollars and his franchise remains the most highly valued in all sports. Would you change if you were him?

I'm not sure I agree with your statement in bold. Dak has 13 Fourth Quarter Comebacks / 21 Game-Winning Drives and in those games he has ave comp% of 69.36%. I don't think that is bad Dak.
But, I do often wonder/worry about Dak when he's under duress, especially up the middle pressure and even worse after he's taken a good hit or two. That's when I "see it in his eyes" and bad Dak emerges.
