Which one wasn't Dak's fault? I like Dak, but both seemed to be his fault.I keep asking fellow posters to name the bad throws/plays from Dak, but all I hear is the 2 INTs which 1 was not Dak's fault.
Ex-TE turned game commentator, Greg Olsen, said that pick-6 was on Schultz, not Dak. He said Schultz was supposed to keep running into the area (flat) that CeeDee had cleared up (led the CB away), especially with a LB trailing Schultz. He said had Schultz kept running into the flat area, he would have been out in the open and given Dak an open lane to throw the ball, instead of stopping behind the jumping DE who was in between him and Dak. That's the way I saw it. Are you saying Olsen was wrong?Which one wasn't Dak's fault? I like Dak, but both seemed to be his fault.
As for what he did wrong aside from the INT's, in general he held the ball too long instead of making quick, decisive reads like he did earlier in the year, he tried to force some throws that he was lucky weren't picked off, and he didn't find a way to make drive sustaining plays often enough. Overall just not much consistency.
I say this, and I am not one of the "Dak haters" people talk about. Again, I like Dak, but it's okay to admit if he doesn't play well.

The 1st interception most certainly was on Dak.
You are misrepresenting what Olson said. He did not say Dak bears no blame, and in fact said a couple of times that Dak failed to see the defender cutting underneath, which is his responsibility. He did say he would like to have seen Schultz keep moving, so it's not unfair to say Olsen felt that was a contributing factor, but he did not absolve Dak from blame for not seeing the LB cutting in front.Ex-TE turned game commentator, Greg Olsen, said that pick-6 was on Schultz, not Dak.

How can any QB see the LB cutting across when you have a big DE jumping in front of you while your TE stops directly behind him?You are misrepresenting what Olson said.

He did say he would like to have seen Schultz keep moving, so it's not unfair to say Olsen felt that was a contributing factor, but he did not absolve Dak from blame for not seeing the LB cutting in front.
In addition, if you go back and look at the play, Dak pulled up and started his throwing motion at just about the same moment Schultz was settling into the spot, and he threw right at that spot with no indication he was planning on Schultz continuing to move. If he expected Schultz to keep moving he could have kept rolling out to get beyond the DE so he didn't have to throw around the DE, but he pulled up expecting to make the throw to that spot.
But even if you ignore that and believe the receiver didn't go where expected, this wasn't a case of Dak throwing to a spot and the receiver failed to get there. He threw the ball to where the receiver was, and it's still on him to be aware of the defense.
One word to describe Dak Prescott. "Incontinence"
The guy has been crapping the bed
Just when the defense has come into its own, this guy can't control his bowels![]()

It's not a defense for a QB to say "A guy was in the way and made it hard to see but I decided to throw anyway without knowing if there was a defender cutting in front to pick it off".How can any QB see the LB cutting across when you have a big DE jumping in front of you while your TE stops directly behind him?
Dak was actually setting his feet and squaring his shoulders to make the throw.
