This is NOT on the defense

Only reason we were in the game. Offense was limited and Dak gave it away twice, like clockwork.

Dallas defense were warriors tonight. Dak and the offense, without Pollard, couldn’t sustain drives and hung the defense out-to-dry with poor throws, interceptions and inability to sustain drives.
Dak does not see the field well when he is under pressure and he made bad throws all night. I hate to say it but I thought Purdy was the more polished QB.

Thats kinda why the losses these last two years hurt the most, past decade or more our D has been a wet paper towel or a paper tiger at best, one or two splash players and that was it. Now we finally get a really good (not elite yet) D and we still come up short.

It was on the defense also. Diiggs dropped int. Couldn't make timely stops when needed. Even though the offense wouldn't had done anything with it.

Some are going to try to scapegoat the defense or Diggs. None of this is on them. Yes Diggs should have had that INT. But a better QB performance, even just a decent one wins this game tonight. Dak is the blame for this loss and only Dak.
The offense failed to uphold their end.
Biggest offensive disappointment was dak.

Our secondary struggled.... but overall I am happy with the defense tonight. We were told all week we'd get run all over and that did not happen. That's defensive pride right there

Can't blame the special teams either they forced the fumble and converted both fgs. This is on the offense 100%.
Understand Dak's role in this.....but does KMoore get immunity again or simply get to point the finger at Dak? Dak needs an OC that knows a bit more than KMoore seems to exhibit and also be able to mentor him and trash that playbook KMoore holding onto.

The wasted opportunities in the first half and poor play calling doomed this team
The Cowboys' offensive formations during a good number of plays just telegraphed to the Forty-Niners defense what was going to happen - and they reacted well on the most part throughout the game.
