Video: The Art Of The (playoff) Choke

[JBS]

His struggles haven’t killed us. It’s our defense not being able to make stops that’s killed us. Dak put up a Cowboys playoff record 403 yards with 41 completions and we scored 32 points but our defense couldn’t stop the Packers. Had Dak played great we would have lost in a high scoring shootout because our playoff defenses are CRAP! You’re just one of those who keeps putting it entirely on Dak and ignores our defensive problems which are glaring.

We had 0 points w two seconds left before the half. You are fabricating what happened

 

[JBS]

Already been over that game. The only one where our defense was respectable. Our D sucked in all the other losses.

Oh so the other two games. YAnd no , the defense wasn’t trash in the other sf game either. It was decent. A strong offensive performance would have been enough to win the game but the offense was utter trash that day

 

[JBS]

People in here legit defending Dak , lolol. Dude is the biggest choke artist in the nfl. Get a clue.

The Packers defense showed up and ours didn’t. We couldn’t run the ball and the game got put on Dak.

How was our defense decent in the other SF loss giving up 169 yards rushing and coming away with no sacks on Jimmy G? You can’t be serious. McCarthy and the Joneses said our defense didn’t play well. Our D played like crap in that game.

Zero points is zero points. Stop making excuses

We had chances to win the game. Multiple possessions to win it. Qb came up short. Like he always does. Defense wasn’t great by any means. But we had opportunities to win the game w the ball in our hands. Should be enough but it’s not for this qb

Our offense put up over 500 yards and 32 points. Our defense sucked!

 

[JBS]

Our offense put up over 500 yards and 32 points.

Yeah the game was beyond over by the time the offense started moving it. Stats in a vacuum mean nothing.

Dak and our offense kept battling.

 

[JBS]

Dak and our offense kept battling.

Ok. That isn’t the topic here. But yes. Dak didn’t give up. Too bad he didn’t show up when the game mattered.

 

[plymkr]

Dak wouldn’t play so tight if our defense would step up and not put us in a hole on the oppositions opening drive. When our defense plays well during the regular season so has Dak. Once we get behind and the defense is struggling he starts to press. We saw the same thing with Romo and it leads to turnovers.

Dak’s TOs led to Green Bay points. Dak’s TOs led to the 49ers getting points.

Dak is not a victim of a poor defense blowing it for him.

If anyone walks away from the last 3 playoff losses and thinks Dak is a product of a bad defense is agenda driven and biased. Likewise if anyone walks away from the last 3 playoff losses and thinks Dak is the only reason we lose in the playoffs is agenda driven and biased.

In the playoffs Dak and the defense have played complimentary football but in a negative manner. Dak’s play makes it hard on the defense and the defense makes it hard on Dak.

I don’t like Dak as a football player but I am willing to concede that Mahomes couldn’t win with our defense. Likewise if we had the 85 Bears defense we couldn’t win with Dak. To be successful we need to change both areas.

Don’t be afraid of the haters. They’ve sucked many a Zoners to their dark side.

CeeDee didn’t either. It took awhile for him and Dak to start connecting. Where was Parsons on the Packers opening drive? He never showed up the entire game with the rest of our defense. Unless we luck into an all-time great QB with our next one, it’s going to be a lot worse. Our next QB will likely not be as good as Dak which will put an end to all the complaining about playoff losses because we won’t be making the playoffs. We’ll see how this fan base feels about that.

Not wasting anymore time with this.

It's not all on Dak, but anyone who excuses him for any blame is ridiculous. He's been a big reason why we've haven'tadvanced much, shares equal blame with the defense

I believe all real fans know, Dak has his fair share of the blame. The problem is, many here put 90 to 100% of the blame on him and that's total BS.

They will ignore the league leading penalties committed by his teammates... they will ignore the defense giving up 200 plus yards on the ground.... they will ignore the offensive line's inability to open holes in the run game.... but they won't ignore Dak's mistakes and shortcomings in games.

Make that make sense.

 

[Hardline]

The video is focusing entirely on Dak but nothing said about our defensive performances which have been the number one reason why we keep faltering in the playoffs. The dope who put together that video obviously doesn’t have much of a clue or doesn’t follow the Cowboys if he thinks our playoff woes fall entirely on Dak. Funny that he brings up the next generation of QBs and shows a clip of Josh Allen who’s had his share of playoff struggles.

If your defense gives up 48 points it falls on your QB to put up 49.

When the game mattered..... Dak didn't show up, the offensive line didn't show up, the defensive line didn't show up, Parsons didn't show up, Lamb didn't show up, the offensive and defensive coordinators didn't show up....


But some how, Dak is the only one brought up. That's just dumb.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Our offense put up over 500 yards and 32 points. Our defense sucked!

The game shoukc havs been 13-7 ** halftime, thanks to a late.

But it was actually 27-7 at halftime thanks to epic dak choke job.

Thankfully dak got to play 2s in the 2nd half to pile up some stats.

He’s the one that has failed to show up in every big game. That’s the problem. He also makes the most money. He’s the qb. That’s the way it works.

Chiefs defense gave up 35 points to the eagles in the Super Bowl. The chiefs won the game.

Some teams make excuses. Other teams win championships
