True, but the bengals dropped 27 on them in the snow. And Allen hasnt exactly been mistake free either, which is what killed us

Could you imagine what Dak would have done in the snow with that team if Allen could not get it done? lol smdh

Why are you a hater?

Because someone on a sports board disagrees with you on the ability or non-ability of Dak to play QB?

Do you call your parents, children, wife or friends Imbeciles if they don't agree with you on something?
He could have learned it from them.

That's a reach, the interceptions only resulted in 6 pts, and after the first int Dallas scored a td and went ahead, so the int at that point was offset. The second only put SF up 3, hardly an insurmountable lead.

Losing Pollard hurt more, but he only had 22 yds on 6 carries, and that happened less than 2 mins before the half. Not like he had shown he'd have a huge difference in the second half.

The thing about ints, and other plays, is that you never know what teams would have changed up if the int or other play hadn't happened. If SF had gotten behind in the second half, then their play calling would have been different. Same if they got way ahead in the second half, no need to pass a lot if you can just run the clock and win.
Dak did not play well, nobody disputes that. But let's assume Dak didn't throw the ints and they beat SF. With no Pollard, Steele, Brown, Lewis, Peters and with Zeke sporting a knee brace, no Peters to help out on the line, plus Moore's scattershot play calling, there were 3 chances of beating Philly in Philly - slim, fat and no.

Beating SF would only have pushed Dallas farther down the draft list and made the final loss even more painful.

Dallas had to struggle to beat the Texans, got blown out by a non-playoff WFT just a couple of weeks ago. Barely beat the Eagles in Dallas playing Gardiner Minshew, for goodneess' sake.

Yes, it's time for Dak to be replaced, but Dallas' problems run far deeper than quarterback, even with a Rodgers or Mahomes they are not the same caliber of team as the Chiefs, etc.
No one said it was insurmountable, but you threw away 6 points, missed a PAT, and lost by those 7. You can say the TD offset the Int-FG, but that’s still a TD had you thrown the INT or not, it didn’t need to be offsetting. The interception in the red zone was particularly backbreaking. That was 2nd and 2, very likely ends in a TD otherwise with your redzone efficiency

We had the defense. They showed up.

The run game could be hit and miss, but that's also a product of teams not worried about your pass game.

Maher was sketchy for a game, but made both of his FGs against San Fran.

Dak goes down and we still go 4-1 without him. That shows he's not a difference maker.

I feel like this year, more so than any year since our last Super Bowl, we were just good QB play away.

@Mods ... Can you fix my "We're"? Thanks!
Under Garrett we were just a head coach away for at least 5 of the 13 total years he was here- including his offensive coordinator days. In 2014 Garret's play calling duties were revoked, and the Green Bay game showed how close we could be. After that good showing, Garrett got his play calling duties back. In 2015, the Cowboys had the best team I've ever seen, but Romo got hurt, and Garrett just quit, hoping that Romo could come back and win the table.
Fast forward to 2016; Garrett had the best team in the NFL again, but both Kellen Moore and Romo got hurt. Romo was done by then and he knew it. But Dak Prescott got to play behind the strongest line in the NFL with Zeke drawing the ire of opposing defenses, and it made Dak look better than he was.
Dak became Garrett 2.0; he learned to allow the media to place the blame for his failures on his teammates because Garrett coddled him. Garrett was desperate to believe that he'd found a phenom that would finally justify his existence, and Dak became just like Garrett.
When Garrett was finally let go, it was of no use; Keeping Dak ensured that Dallas would still be faking it.
Dak is Garrett 2.0 and the Cowboys have wallowed in that misery since 2007.
The Cowboys are lost and struggling to find someone who can lead them to greatness, but it can't happen until Dak is gone.

Maybe a WR2 and RB1 as well but I'd like to think a good QB could have won that game with what we had.

No. I am progenitor of the Dak Hate Slogan

Because imbecility kicked in right around the time same time Goalpost Shifting started

I call anyone an imbecile especially those I love if they act or speak like an imbecile

I have no questions you can answer:lmao:

We very might well have been. However, losing Pollard might have torpedoed that even with a better QB in there. It's a big what if on what would have happened in the Conf Champ and SB. The defense was good enough for sure. The O-line was good enough for sure. The QB definitely wasn't good enough. RB was a question after losing Pollard too.

QB is our greatest opportunity to improve, but how?
His contract is a back breaker.

Dak went down the offense was one of the worst in football, when he played it was one of the best. That shows he’s a difference maker. What a stupid thread

I gave you alot of crap this season and I still don't understand why your hatred of Dak seems strangely personal, but well.... you were right. And I think sadly, the answer to your question is yes. I will still root for Dak to turn it around because he's the QB of my favorite team but I'm out on defending his play and I don't see him taking us to a championship unless he gets a new OC who acknowledges what he is and a whole lot of over the top weapons.
