You saw today the difference between Dak and Josh Allen

Lol, that’s so right. To be honest I started this season hoping Lance would take his spot. Now I don’t care as long as we win. I want to win, I could care less about my personal agenda. Now I’m hoping Trey doesn’t see the field because Dak is playing well, well enough to win it all with the defense. Screw personal agendas, Super Bowl is the only thing that matters. Dak can take us there if he maintains this level of play.

I agree. This style is what Dak has needed. It shows. Give him a competent system like the WCO, and Dak can be one of the better QBs. He just needs a coach who knows what he's doing. We have one that's finally being allowed to do what he has expertise in doing.

I agree, and I think that was a case of Josh Allen trying to play "hero ball" and win the game by himself.
His running backs do him no favors by getting around 60 yards rushing against the Jets so Allen feels he’s got to pass and run the ball. He can get away with it against the lesser defenses but pays for against good ones.

Our running backs getting around 125 rushing yards today and our top defense, allow our quarterback to play a more measured ,patient, efficient game.

First, show me an offense that "dominated" the Jets defense.

Secondly, you had no choice and the Dak hatin low IQ cowards don't have a choice BUT to respond after wins now. I've shined a bright light on that cowardly of running away from posting after wins and post HEAVILY after losses.


That pressure of being exposed are making these types of fans or trolls try to all of a sudden prove me wrong because this behavior has now been brought to light.

I would argue that our offense did dominate the Jets defence. I know we kicked a lot of FGs, but the offense looked like they were able to work out the weaknesses of the Jets vaunted D. Look how many plays that we ran on them and how worn out they became. If we can develop this further, I think that this offense will be one of the best offenses in the league.

Jets game plan was to take away the big plays and keep everything in front of them. Same as last week. Dak and Mike were smart enough to take what they gave instead of forcing things that would result in negative plays

Josh Allen and the Bills weren’t as patient.
If you mean 1 game each vs the Jets....so a very tiny increment of time that could never tell anything more than...well...those single games.
Yes, there was a difference.
It may have helped to watch last week's Jets/Bills game, fwiw
Give credit where credit is due.

Playing like Brock Purdy works well when you have a great all-around team around you.
It worked well today.
This is a very good Cowboy team!

It seems the game plan was to protect Dak from himself. Nothing fancy or risky.
Dink and dunk and let the receivers (i.e. CeeDee) get the after-catch yards.

Or give Dak open receivers, which every QB needs. There's a reason Moore is 0-2 while Mike is 2-0.

Nobody loves Dak more than me but I'll be the first to say if Dak doesn't get better. We can never get to a Super Bowl. He needs to get better with his field vision and make quicker reads and decisions. I think he got quicker in the former but still lack field vision.IMO

I think McCarthy is game planning and calling plays that puts Dak in the best place to succeed. KM didn’t. My question is why didn’t this change happen 2 years ago? But Dak looks more relaxed and he’s making safer throws. I’m excited and I’m not used to being excited about Dak. But he’s playing well, got to give him that. I’m pumped. No TOs baby!!!
KM called plays like Dak was Aaron Rodgers.

McCarthy is calling plays like Dak is Brock Purdy.

I like it.

No more Captain America and hero garbage.

I like it much better when Dak is just driving the bus. There's no need for the flashy stats, just get the job done. There's still a ton of room for improvement, of course, but the results so far have been enough. Stop leaving points on the field and dominate would be a good place to start




WAIT, WHY AM I HERE? I'VE BEEN TOLD THE DAK DETRACTORS HIDE AFTER THE WINS....
You're here because you know football and can see the difference coaching can make when you coach to a players strength and because you are a fan and not a troll.

Last week Philly put up gaudy run and pass stats and squeezed out a W

We had similar total team stats and blew away a team where most predictions were a less than 7 pt win

They mentioned on the local sports here. This is the 1st time in the MM & Dak teams. That Dak did not have a turnover in back to back games.

Dak’s playing a different brand of football that actually suits him more.
The brand of football he was forced to play last year (worst WR separation and highest % of contested throws because of it in the league) is one that no QB thrives in. Mahomes is struggling mightily with the same issue right now.

Aaron Rodgers has a worse QBR on tight window throws in his career than Dak does
