Greg Olsen blatantly said both those picks were on CeeDee and Shultz not doing their jobs. Dak can only throw to where someone is supposed to be.
Blaming the receivers for those int's is like blaming the rain for soaking the interior of the car because the windows were left open.

Presumably Dak can see and can make the decision not to throw into that situation. Especially since in both cases the defenders saw it coming a mile away.

I'm no expert but in over 50 years of watching football I can't remember a QB being given the passes Dak is given week after week after week.

You forgot Allen

And Herbert

And Jackson

Did I miss some?

what has Herbert done but put up stats while losing games, Is he winning big games agaiint better teams,. Nope
Allen last few weeks what he gets excuses, he literally fumbled to end regulation and then an INT in OT to lose the game, did Dak do that .,.,His were early and not al Daks fault. Obviously, you see what you want to but Allen's might be slight upgrade over Dak but lets be real he couldn't overcome his poor defense in that payoff game. Literally lost over his defense, same as dak.. when you aid a team to 14 point lead in the 4th and lose, defense, sts, penalty's refs all come higher on the list before daks name comes up as reason we are losing games., this game against GB was a continuation of the bears game defense gives up 29 cnat top the run, now they give up 31 and cant stop the run cant slow a team down in the 4th ior OT..
this is the tam Dak and Romo consistently get in big games.

18 rams game 250 yards rushing spit the bit in that 2nd qtr, 2021 9ers game 14 penalties, drops, no run game D couldn't stop the run consistently

right all dak huh... selective memory's around here always the qbs fault when we lose, team game when we win.

Dallas gave up 200 yards rushing for the 2nd game in a row and I never saw Prescott miss a tackle.

They ran the ball 66% of the plays. They have two good RB's and knew the weakness of the Dallas defense.

Think they're not going to encounter team in the playoffs that want to run the ball and play better run D than they do?

Pass rushing is sexy and sacks celebrated while stopping the run takes big uglies, great tacking and is a better way to go through the playoffs.
exactly he also wasnt committing or Missing penalties either, he didn't give up a 14 point lead. selective memories.
where's that defense that if you gave them big lead late it was over the ones keeping teams under 17 points , controls the game etc

I am not giving him a pass. Minus those 2 picks he was pretty garbage the entire game. This team has a tendency to come out unprepared after a week off. Its odd.

Dak didn’t play well yesterday. Defensive run stopping non existent. Team wasn’t ready coming out of a by week. Coaches get a huge chunk of the blame in my book.

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.
Dak certainly bears a significant part of the blame, but a defense that gave up over 200 rushing yards has to take some of the heat as well.

Over the course of a season, a dominant defense is gonna have an off day or two. We have been susceptible to the run all year and got gashed by Jones for 134 yesterday. Combine that with a desperate Packers' team and Rodgers at QB, you've got a problem.
Dak put up 28 in 3 quarters, threw a couple of picks and folded like a damp dish cloth when we needed him most.
What about all this seems surprising.

How soon we forget the nature of complimentary football. An offense that executes consistently is also one that protects its defense. Just as a defense that provides turnovers with a short field helps the offense get extra possessions and easier scores.

Well, back to the same thing, Dak against big teams or with an elite QB, he can't win or he shrinks, but there are stubborn people who want to see Dak as the savior of the team, people who don't know about this sport, and don't I say that I know a lot but at least I try to be objective, Dak made the same mistakes he has made since he was given that lucrative contract, simply the reality of Dak, an overpaid player who unfortunately has to be on the team until 2024, and will continue to be paid until 2026 due to contract restructurings, many idolize or defend Dak only for statistics not for his ability to win games.

one thing to understand is that if the defense is playing poorly that's when the offense should come out and try to win the game, and if the offense is playing poorly the defense should do the same, the cowboys defense played very well in the absence of Dak and games were won due to the good performance of the defense and that helped the offense led by Cooper Rush, in addition to the fact that Rush did a good job, but now that the defense played poorly, the offense did not help, yes, it they generated points but they were not dominant, they did not get the caste, something that did happen with the packers despite the multiple mistakes and problems that team brings, Aaron Rodgers was able to get the team, that shows the quality of QB elite, that's where you see the great QBs.
with Dak that never happens, and it's reality.

the defense has two serious critical points, the perimeter, the CBs are mediocre, many overvalue Diggs for his multiple interceptions, but that does not make a good CB, they do not even have a quality CB, and another weak point is the defense against the run,
unfortunately this team is not at the SB level,

I would like OBJ to join the team, but I think that it will not work with a QB like that; Dak's big problem is that it takes a long time to shoot, and having good WRs won't help if Dak doesn't know how to shoot, in short, it will be the same as always, Cowboys reach the playoffs and lose in the first game.

Care to elaborate?
the title of this thread, the Op, and anyone who agrees with that sentiment. all wrong for sure..100% really??? even 25% is a stretch.

1-45% on the defense can't hold a 14-point lead or stop the run.
2-refs 20% cant call such an uneven game
3-25% on dak picks were not all his fault weren't short field type but hey, he wasn't perfect.
4-5% on coaching decisions etc.
5.- 5% WR running poor routes

You lost me at Diggs. Roger's didn't even throw his way and for good reason.
