Dak got us out to a 2-score lead after throwing 2 INTs and had us marching down the field in OT. The defense gave those two scores back, and that OT drive was undone by 3 stupid penalties and not kicking a FG on 4th down. That loss is not on the QB.

My recollection of the game is that our D also forced some turnovers that turned into points for the offence. This game is as much on Dak as is it on anybody else the ball was in his hands with the game on the line and couldn't get it done. Franchise/elite QB's GET IT DONE when it matters!

We are running into the same problem Seattle had at the end of Russel Wilson's time. So eager to craft a narrative for the big contract QB that they outright refuse to run the football in crucial moments. Dak throwing the ball 40 times is not a successful strategy. He should be limited to 25-30 attempts max because ever since the calf injury his play is a roller coaster ride. I never know when I am going to see a dime or a ball thrown directly to a DB. He is being asked to do too much. You can say the same about other big-name QBs right now. Josh Allen is another one being asked to play hero ball and it doesn't always work out. Sometimes the best bet is to ask them to turn around and hand it off.

So defense losing a 14 point lead in the 4th quarter has 0 blame
A so called top 5 QB has to overcome that. He had multiple opportunities to win that game and he couldn't do it. He gets paid like an elite but plays like ****.

Dak is the face of the franchise, i get it. But 28 points should win every NFL game played. Our run defense is trash, we all knew it. We knew it before the season started, in the middle of the season, and after its over, we will still know it
He also gave them short 14 points on his stupid ill advised throws for interceptions.

Interesting. So explain to me why Josh Allen on 3 occasions this year had a chance to win the game. But didnt. He must suck.

Roger's didn't overcome anything when they lost 5 in a row. Yet he showed us up. It happens, get over it and move on to the next game.

Him too, he hasn't delivered as much when it counts this year but last i looked Allen is still playing on his rookie deal and not counting 40m+ against the Bills cap
"six-year contract will pay Allen $258 million, which includes $150 million guaranteed and an average salary of slightly more than $43 million per season."

He simply made too many mistakes and didn't make any throws when it counted the most.

As a leader and QB of your team, this was a game he had to play excellent or do whatever was needed to win.

He did none of that today.

Mediocre QB play.
This loss in 100% on the people who haven't spent a 1st round pick on a QB in 33 years and who can't in the modern era of the NFL build a good enough team around an average/above average QB.
And unless things change at the top of the organization, expect more of the same!

I'd take Josh Allen over Dak any day of the week. Dak never rises to the occasion. He is not a winner

You didn't answer the question. Josh Allen hasn't "Risen to the occasion" on 3 separate occasions this season. (I would also take Allen over Dak) but that isn't the argument.

He is still playing his rookie deal this year, that deal really doesn't come into effect until next season but if you want to go tit for tat them at least Allen has gotten the Bill to the AFC championship game 2 years in a row to earn that deal..what did your hero do to earn his?

In Dallas you don't need to prove anything to get money. This has been the case for years and a lot of mediocre players have made big bank because of it. The organization is run like a country club and if you kill Jerry's behind long enough you become one of his guys and he takes care of his guys - while it's a great trait for loyalty to ones friends, it's a terrible trait to run a football team with.
