That was a 16 play, 6 minute drive. Not sure I can really blame that drive for anything other than failing to be a TD.
I was actually worried they were taking too much time.

Even the so-called deserving $40 million dollar quarterbacks will not win every game the way they "should."Maybe Dak didn’t lose the game but he didn’t win it the way you would want a $40 million QB to win it either.
I thought Kellen Moore called an excellent game, and actually thought Dak played pretty well.
But- and there's no getting around this- as usual there were moments when the game was too big for Dak. He began to throw erratic, short passes that his receivers couldn't handle because they were too high, too hard, or caught them off guard.
But overall, Dak played well.
The interception at the end of the game was simply the culmination of the Seahawks being a much better team. Even before that, Dak had thrown what should have been a game ending interception that ended up being a completion on a fluke batted ball. Even though he got away with it, this is the usual signs of the game being too big for Dak.
He doesn't throw many interceptions, but he tends to get erratic when the pressure is on.
But the Seahawks were much better than the Cowboys across the board for the entire game, and when they were fresh they simply overpowered the Cowboys. The first part of the third quarter really showed how much better they were.
The real issue is the lingering hangover from the weak philosophies of Jason Garrett. The Cowboys play great one minute, then seem to expect the opposing team to just quit.
From the day Garrett took over the offense in 2007, the Cowboys seemed to celebrate their victories after their first score, as if the opposing team would simply quit when they witnessed such greatness.
They no longer do that, but the hangover is still with the organization. They play great, then get burned.
Some of the Cowboys "all-pros" may have to go. They are just too accustomed to not keeping their foot on the gas and playing through the end of the game.
There was no doubt that the Seahawks were the better team all day yesterday, albeit dumb at times.
And if you want to compare apples to apples, Russell Wilson showed what a marquee quarterback should look like.
If he threw downfield into double coverage, he would get absolutely ripped for that.The reason we lost the game was defense. But that last drive is a bit alarming. With around a minute forty five with all 3 timeouts and we were short on time at the end.
They're going to give us the underneath routes. They want us to take them. We did. At some point in time you have to go a little further down the field on a drive like that. But I can't tell if it was the pressure, play calls, or the quarterback that didn't want to take a chance.

Of course they have receivers down field, you can't force it just for the sake of forcing it.
the real reason we lost this game is because... we have to score 40 points to win a game apparently. 30 points should win 90% of all NFL games.
Seattle has to do the same thing! How come they are 3-0. We have given up 87 points after 3 games the Seahawks have given up 86
Yes that was a horrible throw at the end of the game,
I keep seeing people here blaming Dak. Yes that was a horrible throw at the end of the game, but if you blame him solely for this loss you have an agenda.
The reason we were even in that position is because our young playcaller decided to get pass happy in the last 5 minutes of the game. There should have NEVER been 4 minutes on that clock for Russell to work with. You run that clock down and make them beat you in the 2 minute drill, or keep running and get rid of their timeouts. Something. Passing 3 times 1st and 10 in Seahawk territory was stupid. Reminds me of Garretts early days until he started actually leaning on Murray. There is no excuse.

I think some of the traits picked up by the players under Garrett still hamper this team.Just trying to understand.
So the Seahawks are clearly a better team with a better quarterback.
But we lost yesterday because of Jason Garrett?
when u beat your self it dont take much from the other team for u to lose until the cowboys get better on defense and start getting turnovers and stop turning the ball over they are not going to win many gamesYou can't win the in the NFL with a 3-0 turnover deficit. That is the number one stat to focus on after the score.
Problem was... we failed to establish the run game... what makes you think we were going to be able to do it?I keep seeing people here blaming Dak. Yes that was a horrible throw at the end of the game, but if you blame him solely for this loss you have an agenda.

agreed. they should have either tried to score really quickly or bleed the clock when they got the ball with like 8 minutes left. They didn't seem to have a plan and ended up being in the middle.I keep seeing people here blaming Dak.

I don't think we've ever been good at screens, and we can't seem to stop them...I was floored with the screens.
It's hard enough to run a screen with a cohesive OL with many, many reps in practice.
Trying to do it yesterday with a patchwork line was beyond stupid.
Good thing he doesnt want 40 million. Thats already been said multiple times here. Keep up the good work though. What was he supposed to do on that last drive? Block for himself?
What i am saying is. That last drive SHOULDNT HAVE MATTERED. We should have ran the clock down and not been in that situation to begin with.
