We held the best offense in the NFL to one touchdown

[Kevinicus]

You can't see the forest for the trees because of your Dak hatred. You're blinding yourself.

What does Dak have to do with this, except for your obsession?

I certainly never mentioned him.
I'm not the one trying to completely dismiss 50% of the football team. So, do tell how I'm not seeing the forest for the trees? I appear to be one of the few actually looking at the forest while people like you obsess over, at least in your case, 1 tree.

There you go proving my point. What is your obsession with Dak about? Are you related?

I've not talked about Dak in this thread.

They scored one touchdown yesterday. Who wouldn't have taken that before the game?

This loss is 100% on the offense, particularly on “Dak in the Headlights”. Rattled by Fangio again, our offense spent the entire 2nd and 3rd quarters punting and kicking field goals. Defense did its job, $60M man did not until it was too late.

Miami is a soft team. They really are. We are the only high caliber team they've beaten all year. They do excel though beating up bad teams

You talk about the Offense, but anyone who has followed your posts over the years knows you love to criticize Dak. Can read right through you. Too easy.

Not 100% on the offense. The offense got us the lead with just over 3 minutes left and our defense couldn’t hold them.

Yes, the offense is 11+ players. Your obsession with Dak makes it about one.
You can't resist making something about Dak. It's just who you are. I have been quite positive about Dak the last couple of months, when I discuss him (unlike you, I don't make everything about him), so your comments are even more foolish than usual.

You couldn't resist inserting yourself into something just so YOU could make it about Dak. It wasn't about Dak. Dak wasn't being criticized. Your delusional obsession made it about him in your mind, because in your mind, everything is about him. He's your god.

There was plenty that was wrong with the offense on Sunday that had nothing to do with Dak at all, and all of my comments were about the offense as a whole. That means the OL, RBs, WRs, TEs, and yes, even the QB. And to top it off. My comments weren't even that critical of the offense. I just said I felt they underperformed more than the defense did. I didn't say they were terrible or anything.

Unlike you, I am able to praise or criticize Dak, praise or criticize the D, praise or criticize the coaches, praise or criticize other offensive players, etc. And I can do all of that independently of each other. For you, any praise or criticism is purely for one single solitary purpose - to praise/defend Dak. And you will shift and do mental gymnastics however possible in order to serve that purpose.

I ask again and again... how does this OLine that mostly does great in pass protection do so poorly in run blocking?

Seriously... is it Pollard/Dowdle? Is it the overall scheme? I just can't believe it's that that OLine can't push people around.

I stopped reading after the first 2 sentences. You have to right a novel for some baloney spun explanation? SMH

Dak didn't have a bad game. He actually played pretty well considering he was constantly under pressure and had zero run game. In fact he led us to a go ahead TD the last time he took the field.

Yalls qb expectations are stupid. You're not getting 300+ and 3tds+ every game, FROM ANYONE.

I disagree, Dak could do it. Ummm...as long as we only play bottom dwellers. He is really good at padding the stats in blow out wins.

I think there’s blame to go around . No doubt our offense was flat for most of the game .

But in the end it’s not just a TD game . We gave up 5 FG’s which means they had drives into our end of field in scoring position more often than we did.

In the end our offense did come back in 4th qtr from two scores down and our defense couldn’t make a stop to close the game .

In the NFL those last possessions are often the most important.

Complex critical thoughts are beyond you, just admit it.

 

[gimmesix]

That's a fair statement BUT even Dak supporters should acknowledge that the D has held multiple good opponents to "below average" points and the offense has failed to put up enough to win. It's a consistent theme across his career. It can't always be someone else's failure.

Not really this year, though. The offense didn't do its job in some of our other losses, but the D gets the lion's share of the blame for Arizona, San Fran, Buffalo and even the Philly loss. This is the only one where the offense scoring at least in the mid-20s may have made a difference.

I was worried Tyreek Hill was going to have a monster game against the Cowboys. The defense did a great job. Just needed a little more from the offense. So often turnovers are what decides a game.

I get what you are saying but scoring & keeping a game close can drastically change the complexion of a game. Final scores might have been quite different if O was making the opponent respect them & give the D a moment to compose themselves.

One touchdown too many.

Well, it all ultimately goes together to shape the outcome. If the offense can't move the ball, the defense is on the field more, giving the other team more opportunities to score. If the defense can't stop the other team, the offense has fewer opportunities to move the ball and score.

I generally don't go looking for scapegoats in losses because it's a team game. The offense takes better advantage of its opportunities against Miami and we win. The defense makes a final stand against Miami and we win. I'll even throw the officials in there because if a few calls go differently, we probably win too.

 

[McKDaddy]

I just can't believe it's that that OLine can't push people around.

But they can't. Tyron & TB are much better on the move than just rooting folks out. ZM isn't able to get push any longer. Tyler S & Terrence can get movement on their guys but it doesn't do a lot of good when the D is winning the other matchups.
