The offense under Dak is definitely something else

I've got news for you; if the rest of the Cowboys weren't playing lights out the Cowboys would be losing.
Dak isn't looking too good. He's getting some gifts or the offense would be struggling.


Yes. The cowboys offense is really lucking into being the #1 scoring offense in the league since Dak came back.

Yeah, but I also said Dak almost threw that bone headed pick and the Colts defense gave them the extra 15 yards with the hit… that also is the relevant context, which was what I was talking about with Dak “being on fire”…


Yeah. That was a bad throw. They still scored a TD.

Based on a TO on Colts territory. He also had that horrible throw behind Lamb that was arguably a pick, which also gave the Cowboys even better field position because of the roughing penalty,
I’ll just let you haters make fools of yourselves. Have at it.

I wouldn’t even consider it lights out. Colts were also down their Kenny Moore, who is their slot CB. That is what screwed up the Colts in the Lamb motion game which Moore took advantage of.

Game was close until the 4th quarter blowout. The Colts have a washed Matt Ryan, with a OC that has zero experience calling plays and a HC who can’t call plays.

Really happy you’re pissed off with the win. Over a 100 passer rating with 3 td’s.
I'll take the win.
I'm glad the Cowboys are winning in spite of Dak. But if you think he's the reason they are winning you're in LA LA land.
He's getting baled out of his poor throws by the rest of the team and they are getting the momentum back when he throws an interception.
Tonight the refs helped him out, too.
But the Cowboys can win in spite of him, and that makes me happy.

That absolutely did not happen. What we said is Dalton could do the same thing as Dak in the same offense as Dak, with the same players. Dalton didn’t play with a single starting OL that year, except Once with Zach Martin in the Giants game and he did exactly what Dak did that game.

What we did see is Cooper Rush was 4-1 with the same players and MOORe was using way less 3 WR sets and throwing way less on early downs.

And Rush pretty much played EXACTLY like Dak did against the Giants this year.
The Team disliked Andy Dalton....Eye Test couldn't see that....Lame Leadership

Well, you don’t know anything about football which you have proved numerous times. He’s a maestro out there running the offense.


i’m not sure how you can read his posts and surmise he doesn’t know anything about football. i may not always afeee with him but he typically backs his thoughts up with data, analysis, and insight.


anywho hard to argue with results but in comparing the leap, we really can’t forget the return/resurgence of gallup and return of schulz. we’ve got a full compliment of weapons

I’ll say it a million times. He is a totally different player when he uses his legs. Not that he does it often but it just helps him get into rythm better when he picks up a first down or two on a drive.

We’ve been using those jet sweeps/read options and a couple times this year dak has kept those for nice gains. When you have a a running game and an oline like ours if you can make the defense read and react it’s a huge advantage.

even on some of his scrambles lately dak looks like a different guy two years removed from his injury.

You’re entitled to your opinion. Everyone knows you have a Dak hate agenda so I’ll let it speak for itself.

Remember about 2 years ago, when you and people of your ilk told us that any QB could do what Dak was doing...and then you idiots got your chance with Andy Dalton, who you all claimed was better than Dak, and then Dalton and the exact same offense that Dak had proceeded to put up less points in 4 full games than they did in Dak's last 4th quarter prior to the injury alone?

Remember that?
Never happened. Dalton had a much more compromised OL than Dak that year.

The only real difference is Moore runs more 3 WR sets and passing plays on early downs with Dak. But in either case, Dallas since Rush started has gone from 27th in the league in motion usage to 9th, along with one of the top teams in 3 TE, heavy-personnel packages.

Moore was basically playing more conservative with Rush.

I know you are married to this anti Dak position and to be honest you are smart enough to have figured how to get on the internet so I am going to have to assume you are arguing a position you don't really believe in just to argue with people.

Enjoy the win. This offense is playing light out with Dak.

Please just be the anti Dak troll instead of the guy who really believes the stuff you say. Please....

They doesn’t mean Dak. My contention was not that the offense didn’t score, my contention was “Dak was on fire”, which you obviously were trying to defend, but since that didn’t work, you said “they still scored a TD”.

How does that mean Dak was on fire, which is what the issue is about? Again, he almost threw that bone-headed pick, still arguable, and the Colts gave them an extra 15 yards on the late hit. Dak’s throw was complete garbage in that play.

not arguable, remotely. it was a terrible pass, just focus on that.

I think it was, as the hand was under the ball. I think people just went default by what CC said.

yeah but to me that’s because dak is back to being mobile. Remember what the rams and 49ers did to us years ago. Going sideways before the snap.


All that pre snap motion…. Then on top of that you have a great offensive line… 2 quality backs. And even if you cover that all up the qb is a threat to run. It’s tough to stop
