The Dak Prescott thread **merged**

[THEHEREAFTER]

He cant-what if you get stuffed and don't score the td. The messed up decision was the pass on 2nd down. That play cost us 35-40 seconds on the clock

That was the big error

 

[MRV52]

1:18 on the clock. He should have gave himself up at the 1 yard line.
Rodgers never sees the field again.
That was our best chance to win

Yes I mentioned that in another thread. Oh well he was amazing.

 

[BRoni]

Him downing himself at the goal line while trailing is not an actual thing that football players do.

Having this argument via text. You HAVE TO TAKE... points... penalties.. center exchange... fumble, tipped pass... you HAVE TO SCORE.. defense has to make a play at some point

Really we banking on the defense to make a play?

 

[Tio]

Nope. Getting the TD is always the right call.

No, its not. 1st and goal at the 1 with the clock running is a much bigger advantage to our team. I don't blame Dak, however.

 

[a.stovall2]

I don't know how I'd feel if he downed himself at the one.

As a football fan I mean.

You play to win. Period. The best chance was to burn clock all the way down no matter what. So scoring there was the wrong thing to do by Dak. Also, we where running on them at will second half. Zeke would have scored most likely.

No, its not. 1st and goal at the 1 with the clock running is a much bigger advantage to our team. I don't blame Dak, however.

Yes, it is. It's on the D to stop or hold them to a FG with a little over a minute left.

Wrong it's been done several times to win games

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Dak played well, a defense should be able to hold up in that situation, or at least only give up a field goal.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Dak is the man and he's the only reason we don't get blown out every game this year. The guy is phenomenal

Dak was phenomenal made a ton of huge plays...

 

[Walker]

You take the TD there every time. Downing yourself at the 1 does not guarantee we would score a TD. The throw play on 2nd down was stupid though. Why are we trying to milk the clock only to throw it there at the end to give Rodgers over a minute to come back and at least get a FG. Kind of goes against what they were doing the last 8 minutes.

 

[BRoni]

Please lock this dumb *** thread.

 

[kevm3]

anybody blaming dak for this game needs to quit watching football. The dude scored 4 touchdowns

Stop. If he does that, then we get a penalty and we don't score he gets crucified.

Throwing a fade on 2nd and one was dumb. That's the call to gripe about.

 

[NumOneQB]

Fall at the 1????? What coach instructs a player to do that instead of taking the sure TD?? Jesus H.Christ the posts in this place never cease to amaze me...

 

[TheCoolFan]

He should have taken a knee...I hate that outdated philosophy of "Take the TD when it's there." What do you have more confidence in, 4 plays to run down the clock to under 30 seconds to get a TD at the 1 or giving Rodgers an eternity to get a FG with 1 timeout?

How many times does Rodgers have to own this team before you figure out that you beat Rodgers with him sitting on the bench. You don't let him have the ball in his hands to decide the outcome.

It's 2017, the NFL is different. All those old rules/philosophies are outdated in today's game when you have unstoppable offenses like this.

 

[NeonNinja]

Problem was the incompetent clock killing throw to Dez. Just some of the worst coaching.

 

[loublue22]

Having this argument via text. You HAVE TO TAKE... points... penalties.. center exchange... fumble, tipped pass... you HAVE TO SCORE.. defense has to make a play at some point

the point is they didn't even try

it's clear there was no thought process of "we have control here, let's try to run as much clock as possible before getting it in, or at least make them burn their last timeout"

this is all too advanced for Garrett when probably 60k people in the stands had it running through their mind. There was no reason to call any pass plays, especially not 2nd and 1 when you can get another first down and burn more clock, and have 4 opportunities to get it in

 

[bark]

And to be clear, I'm not blaming Dak
That was on the coaching staff

 

[cityochamps]

why is this even a thread????
