I think Dak wanted to get it to Gallup, but Gallup’s back was turned during the brief moment Dak was able to set and throw. He was coming open big-time, though.
Dak's like a lot of young QBs,they want the receiver wide open to throw

Horrible pass? It was a great pass. So good it hit him in the face.

Exactly. Players need to catch passes that hit them in the face. That’s basic football. Dak’s receivers have been dropping passes and having them bounce off their chest for interceptions all year.

Dak needs to stop fumbling and his receivers need to start catching. That would go a long way towards solving our problems. That and our poor OL play.

On Dak's pirouette into a strip sack fumble for a TD play and he wasn't happy afterwards. Zeke looked quite upset afterwards.

Zeke like the Wr and Te are getting revolutionary as they see all there efforts and careers being wasted because of Inept Dak....hey in the end its dog eat dog and Dak will be ready to be served up soon as they are fed up carrying Dak on offense to no avail......

...on a late throw.


Yup , watch that play again and you can see Zeke had to slow down to catch the ball and this made the catch tougher because the DB caught up to him because the ball was underthrown.

Zeke had a step on the DB but as we know , Dak is only supposed to "put the ball into a circumference close enough to where the receiver has a shot at catching it. He needs help"

And people were angry when Witten retired lol

Witten went from being a Hall of Fame , Pro Bowl TE to being old and washed up thanks to playing with Tebow Jr.

I guarantee Beasley leaves next because he is tired of hearing how it's his fault we suck.

Funny how every single WR forgets how to get open and catch the ball when they play with Dak... every single one.

Kinda reminds me about Roddy White back in the day. He was a scrub untill Matt Ryan showed up.

The pass hit him in the face. He needs to make that catch with the game on the line. No excuses.

Less moping and more catching.

I see young QBs make contested throws on a weekly basis.. what young QBs are you talking about? I know Watson , Mahomes , Wentz , Darnold , and Mayfield trust their arms too much , if anything...

So who are these young "Gunshy" QBs you are talking about?

There's a reason Garrett likes Dak and its because Dak is the Jason Garrett of QB play.
Just listen to his press conferences and watch how after every three and out , Dak is on the sidelines slapping butts and giving pep talks , but he doesn't have the guts to take risks..

So were a lot of other guys. Dak cant see them when Pressure Comes and is afraid to throw a Receiver open. Only times he lets it fly is if the WR has 10 Yards cushion. This aint working in todays NFL most of the time.

You could do everything but fumble on the Goalline resulting in 7.

As usual, the pass was late in arriving. Dak is too slow reading the play. That along with the slowest windup and release in football made it a contended play vs a wide open walk in.

Fine. I would be upset with Zeke if I were other members of the team.

He has been very average this year. I don’t care what his stats say. He looked like the slowest player in the league today.

He looked like that against Houston too! He looks over weight and frustrated and looks like he doesnt want to run hard.

This is a world of difference bewteeen him and Barkley/Gurley.

These guys look like they are shot out of a cannon on each play.

Zeke looks like he’s suffering the effects of biscuit poisoning. He’s much slower than he was 2 years ago when he was routinely running away from defenders.

Zeke isn't making anyone miss, so if he caught it we would have been punting. Dak tried to do too much, and it cost him. It happens

Wrong. Dak couldn't decide what to do, held the ball too long with at least 3 people running wide open and allowed pocket to break down. In that situation the QB has to get rid of the damn ball. A short pass to Zeke or even a throw away there is better than backing into the endzone and taking a sack.

His ability to read a defense and make a decision is below average to poor. It's why nearly every pass play looks so chaotic. He looks like he doesn't know where everyone will be on any given play so he stares down his first read and if it's not open the feet start dancing around because he wants to get out of the pocket to buy more time to find another receiver. It happens almost every freaking play.
