Exactly.
The goalpost gets moved on Dak more than any player I've ever seen.
The Eagles game was a "big game" a Dak has to "prove it game". He converts and 3rd and 30, wins that game, and once he does. It's, "oh, they had a backup QB"... blah, blah, blah.
Then the Tampa game... and you nailed it. "Tom doesn't lose in the playoffs", "this is a legacy game for Dak", etc. etc. He BALLS OUT and it's "they suck, they're not good, Tom is old"
Then they have to go on the road, cross country, on a short week, to a team that has a 2-day headstart on game planning/rest... to play the best defense in the NFL. Loses, arguably, his best offensive weapon before half AND DOESN'T HAVE A KICKING GAME!!!!! and struggles, so that's the defining moment!
DUMB.
