The Curse of the Side-Baby: The Dallas Cowboys 22’ Offseason Thread

[dtownreppin214]

It’s crazy to me how QBs can go out and win a SUPER BOWL with their running back averaging 1.6 yards a carry, second target hurt, (was playing like 1 before the injury) and their defense giving up 20 points. Muthafuccin crazy.1.6?

1.8 is the answer to a math question
1.8 is what you have left over after using 8 gallons of something
1.8 is how much a malnourished baby hamster weights
1.8 is how many miles you can be from your host and comfortably hold a shyt before getting home
1.8 IS NOT how much your running back should average per carry in a football game


A QB doing more with less than Dak, how surprising

Their QB made plays down the stretch. Their best WR had stick hands down the stretch. Their best player on defense was wrecking havoc down the stretch.

I had an epiphany when I heard Emmitt and Deion's comments last week. This team will go nowhere until our best players start performing in the clutch, period.

 

[dtownreppin214]

One of our best players during crunch time. This franchise will be rewarded with 15M/yr soon.

The Culture is a problem

Jerry is a problem

With that said, to sit here and act like the Quarterback is paid to be a scapegoat is insane


Was the culture a problem when we were curbstomping the Redskins, Falcons, Giants, and Eagles?

Did the culture prevent us from starting off 6-1?

With that said, was the culture the reason Dak couldnt beat a simple cover-2?

Was the culture the reason Dak couldnt get the ball to his best receivers?

Down 6, with the ball and over 2 minutes left in the game and 3 time outs. This MF $40M QB couldnt do what he was paid to do and get us into the endzone.

HE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

The slow starts at the beginning of these playoff games is on DAK. Im tired of nikkas giving him every excuse in the book.


The Bengals are a horribly run franchise as well. The owner is the GM. Yet they were in the SB and this close to winning. Why is that???

Dude...we had like 12, 14 penalties in a playoff game.

Even if Dak plays well, we win the SF game (probably) but we weren't beating Brady in Tampa or the Rams in LA.

Dak is part of the problem but just swapping him out doesn't fix everything. It's fools gold. Jerry is the 1st, 2nd and 3rd biggest issue on this team. We need Dak to be damn near flawless just to win....that's a problem. If Dak throws 2 INTs in a SB, we lose by 10 points at least, not winning like LA did. Stat Padford made throws Dak can only dream of but he also knows he can make mistakes and the team around him is good enough to rise above it. Our team doesn't have that "it" factor and won't have it until Jerry is gone.

Here we go pretending that the team is so bad, we need Superhuman performances from Dak to win playoff games


Dak was absolutely awful against the 9ers. Even with that said, he had the ball in his hands late in the game to take the lead, and he failed.

The defense was covering up for his poor play for the whole second half of the season


Here in Dallas, we blame the coordinators, the hobbled running back, the OL, injuries etc. but never the nikka making the most money. Stafford went out there and had a GW drive without his 2nd best WR, his starting TE didnt even play, and a running game averaging less than 2 ypc. Dak wouldve been given a million life lines if he lost under those circumstances

 

[dtownreppin214]

Super Bowl 12, 3rd quarter, Broncos score a TD making it a one score game for the first time since early in the 1st quarter. Broncos fans going crazy, the momentum shift is palable in the Super Dome...until...

Robert Newhouse executes one of the greatest halfback passes in NFL history for a 30 yd touchdown effectively burying the Broncos. Big time players showing up at the biggest times.

Dak is the SOUL problem. He has none

Probably has never heard of SOUL music or ate sandwiches with chips crunched inside. Until he identifies with his Blackness, he will never win. We'll just tread between 8-9 to 12-5 seasons with him. He's Dexter Jackson from Livin Large. A Mayo eating mofo

As far as on the field, he who has the ball, controls the outcome. Who is that sir?

Nothing much more needs to be said after pointing this out. There is no way Dak wins a game like that against a good team.

 

[93 til]

There is nothing that Stafford did yesterday that dak can't do. Dude threw 2 picks and was bailed out by his relievers. Yawn.

Dak isn't making this throw



Bailed out? Kupp was the only constant and CIN did a solid job outside of the last drive.

Robert Woods injured, Higbee out, OBJ missed 3 quarters
Backups provided next to nothing after OBJ went down
Running game nonexistent with the leading rusher going 13 for 21

And still found a way to win.

Let Dak go out there with no Ceedee, no Gallup and no Schultz. Only Coop and a pedestrian running game. He's not winning that game.

Hell, he has a hard enough time with everybody on the field

 

[lightskin jermaine]

Yes Dak had a bad game against the 9ers but its becoming a broken record considering we are stuck with him. But also consider this:
Kupp stayed engaged the entire game even though he was getting doubled for 3 qtrs but showed up in the 4th. Would Amari be mentally checked out by then?

Even with OBJ going down, no run game and Kupp being an afterthought for 3 qtrs, McVay managed to put his QB in the best position to win the game. Would McCarthy do that?

Rams continued call high/low passing concepts and took shots down the field. Wonder boy Kellen would have been calling for WR screens and 10 yrd curls the entire game

Rams defensive line was solid all night and showed up in the crunch time. Meanwhile, Randy Gregory decided to get crucial penalties and our Dline was exposed against the run


McVey used his RB's in the passing game. Why didn't/dont we do that



This team needs a change of leadership and an innovator on the offensive side of the ball. Yes the offense puts up points and yards but coaching takes a nose dive in big games.

Stan Kroenke personifies that more than anyone. He is as hands off as they come.

[lightskin jermaine]

We haven't won a Superbowl in decades because of front office and coaching. Ya'll can blame the QB(people did it with previous Cowoys QB's and I disagreed with that too)

 

[duckbutta]

You guys STILL in here talking about Dak and the cowboys

There is nothing that Stafford did yesterday that dak can't do. Dude threw 2 picks and was bailed out by his relievers. Yawn.

He was well on his way to choking this game away but the refs went from not calling anything to giving him 3 first downs inside the 15 on the game winning drive

But narrative going to narrative though.

Replace Dak w Brady, do we beat San Fran?
