Dak Versus The Packers

[Lord McBuckethead]

Here we go. I would like to see Dak average 6 tds a game this playoff.

[BeardoMSU]

Let's go!!!!

[Lord McBuckethead]

Word is out. The NfL has been told to keep this game close due to yesterday?s games. Watch the tickey tack fouls getting called.

[msstate7]

Word is out. The NfL has been told to keep this game close due to yesterday?s games. Watch the tickey tack fouls getting called.

I think this is a legit concern for the cowboys, but that penalty was legit. Hell, it coulda been def holding for 10 yards

[Lord McBuckethead]

See. Defensive guy doesn?t even cross the line. Gives them 3 yards. TD Packers.

[Lord McBuckethead]

It was. Holding after the QB already started running.

[BeardoMSU]

D getting clowned early. Great.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Nobody folds like the Dallas Cowboys come playoff time.

[Activated Alpha]

Dallas' D is vastly overrated. I know they may be top in some categories, but on the important games they get their dicks knocked into the dirt

[Maroonthirteen]

Welp, one of the most penalized team in the league, lets them out of 3rd down twice with penalties. Just gave them a TD.

[msstate7]

Dak better come to play. Green Bay has been really good of late

[parabrave]

Well the boys haven't stopped the run all year why start now,

[maroonmania]

Dallas Run D is weak!

[Maroonthirteen]

Penalty penalty penalty. Just give them yardage dumb...bells

[Lord McBuckethead]

There it goes again. Cowboys barely touch the return man. Packers barely touch the kicker. Packers get 15 yards.

[RocketDawg]

Cowboys can't get out of the own way. Might be a long afternoon.

[RocketDawg]

There it goes again. Cowboys barely touch the return man. Packers barely touch the kicker. Packers get 15 yards.

Yeah, that shouldn't have been called. The Packer guy caught the ball cleanly.

[maroonmania]

Idiotic. Returner had already signaled fair catch so why even get close? Penalty gets GB out of the hole.

[CaptainObvious]

Dallas defense is average unless they get a few big plays. A good QB can eat them alive. Dak has to hit his receivers early and often.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Packers hold Dallas Receiver. Gets a pick.

[maroonmania]

That was freaking interference! You can't grab the WRs shoulder and hold him back.

[CaptainObvious]

And Big Game Dak rares his head!

[MoreCowbell]

You could see this comin a mile away

[Maroonthirteen]

Just a horrible start so far. Defense, penalties. Dak 1-4 zero yards, int. Dak did make a good pass to Cook but cook couldn't find the ball. Dak terrible decision when lamb was open down field.

[maroonmania]

And Big Game Dak rares his head!

Dak put the ball right where Cooks would have been without being held out by the DB. DB grabbed Cooks shoulder and restrained him.

[99jc]

And Big Game Dak rares his head!

man 17 u its obvious you are an instigating bastard

[msstate7]

Dak put the ball right where Cooks would have been without being held out by the DB. DB grabbed Cooks shoulder and restrained him.

That was pretty close. You're allowed 5 yards of contact... LOS was the 13 and it was intercepted at the 19

[CaptainObvious]

man 17 u its obvious you are an instigating bastard

It's time he steps his high paid ass up and wins something. Nobody and I mean NOBODY loves Dak Prescott, the Mississippi State QB more than me! Dak Prescott, the Dallas QB needs to prove he is a big time QB when it means something. I'll be ecstatic if he comes back and wins this game for the Cowboys. But right now, in the first 15 minutes he doesn't look like a Big Game QB!

[parabrave]

So the boys get penalized for breathing on the PR while at the same time their punter gets mugged. Gonna be one of those days.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

That was pretty close. You're allowed 5 yards of contact... LOS was the 13 and it was intercepted at the 19
Dallas needs to attack downfield, crappy game plan by McCarthy

[CaptainObvious]

The entire Cowboys team is sucking it up right now.

[MaroonFlounder]

I can't make any more excuses for Dak. Love the guy, but he is an awful postseason QB

[maroonmania]

That was pretty close. You're allowed 5 yards of contact... LOS was the 13 and it was intercepted at the 19

Is the contact still allowed though when the ball is in the air? Of course the D is no help. Get the holding call but still can't hold GB to the FG.

[msstate7]

Bad pass, but gotta catch that

[msstate7]

Dak just made a horrible decision and got rewarded for it

[msstate7]

Is the contact still allowed though when the ball is in the air? Of course the D is no help. Get the holding call but still can't hold GB to the FG.

Pretty sure it is. If not, every slant would be DPI

[msstate7]

Cowboys desperately need a 3 and out

[maroonmania]

One more GB TD at this point and this one is just about over.

[maroonmania]

Dallas D can't stop a 3rd down.

[RocketDawg]

Dallas is looking like they've never played the game today, on both sides. And Green Bay looks like a Super Bowl team.

[maroonmania]

Love continues throwing to wide open WRs. Makes it pretty easy.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dallas Defense and CeeDee shitting the bed.

[Activated Alpha]

Had to turn it off. Looked just like any other year for Dallas

[RocketDawg]

Love is throwing the ball very well, but Dallas's non-existent pass defense is helping him out.

[msstate7]

Dak isn't the best qb in this game. Love working on his 5th straight 109 (or better) passer rating game

[maroonmania]

Game over. Dallas suckage on both sides of the ball.

[dawgday166]

Dallas Defense and CeeDee shitting the bed.

CeeDee was open on the out route on same side of field that Dak threw the pick on.

[Dawgface]

Had to turn it off. Looked just like any other year for Dallas

There's always next year. Where have I heard that before?

[maroonmania]

Love is throwing the ball very well, but Dallas's non-existent pass defense is helping him out.

That TD there is the first pinpoint throw Love has had to make with any pressure but that one was a beauty.

[msstate7]

CeeDee was open on the out route on same side of field that Dak threw the pick on.

I get it, but dak is above criticism on this board.

[parabrave]

Cowboys getting outcoached and outplayed.

[dawgday166]

I get it, but dak is above criticism on this board.

I expected this result. He's a great ambassador for MSU and a good (not great) regular season QB. He's not a big game or must-win game QB tho.

[msstate7]

A score here and the cowboys can get back in this game with them getting ball 1st in 2nd. Gotta have a score though even if a fg

[maroonmania]

GBs defense deserves credit. They are covering people. Dallas receivers aren't getting the space that GB WRs are. Even the throws Dak is completing are in tight windows.

[CaptainObvious]

I was a Cowboy fan when I was a youngun. Then we got the Saints and Saints fans learn to hate the cowboys and the falcons really quick. Then DAK goes to Dallas, the Saints turn back into the BAG Boys, and I started cheering for Dallas. As soon as Dak gets away from That crappy program micro-managed by the Jones, I'll start hating the pokes again. Can't wait!

[Quaoarsking]

I get it, but dak is above criticism on this board.

As he should be. Do you think Louisville message boards trash Lamar Jackson? Or Texas Tech message boards bash Mahomes?

[RocketDawg]

Pick 6. And the other interception almost was. Terrible playing.

[maroonmania]

Unreal!

[Saltydog]

other WR. That's on Dak.

[BuckyIsAB****]

This is what prepared vs fat and happy looks like

[msstate7]

As he should be. Do you think Louisville message boards trash Lamar Jackson? Or Texas Tech message boards bash Mahomes?

That was on lamb!

ETA... saying it's everyone but dak's fault isn't trashing dak. It's completely absolving their highest paid player

[maroonmania]

Pick 6. And the other interception almost was. Terrible playing.

The other INT wasn't really Daks fault as the DB just abused Cooks for the ball. That one was was ALL on Dak. You have to see that guy and not throw that pass

[dawgday166]

That was on lamb!

I was talking same play too. CeeDee was open and Dak missed seeing him. He was breaking open as Dak released the ball on the pick.

[Maroonthirteen]

Dallas Defense and CeeDee shitting the bed.

....and Dak Prescott.

The rest of his career will be purgatory there. He will have to win back to back super bowls to get the fans back on his side.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Dallas still trying play action and dink and dunk. That doesnt work when you are down 27

[RocketDawg]

Dak isn't the best qb in this game. Love working on his 5th straight 109 (or better) passer rating game

Much better so far. Over 137 a couple minutes ago.

[BuckyIsAB****]

The other INT wasn't really Daks fault as the DB just abused Cooks for the ball. That one was was ALL on Dak. You have to see that guy and not throw that pass

Or maybe do something besides throw it to
Lamb when they are robbing a safety on him

[LC Dawg]

I love Dak and dgaf about the Cowboys but this is about as bad as it can be. Dak hasn't looked good at all but I can't figure out what kind of pass routes Dallas is running. They look almost lazy.
Also, it looked like Preston Smith was waving bye to the Cowboys on the pick 6 so Hail State to that.

[dawgday166]

I love Dak and pull hard for him but historically speaking he isn't a big game or must win game QB. Even at MSU '14 Bama & OM, and '15 OM he played very bad. He had a bad late int in his 1st playoff game against GB & Aaron Rogers that probably cost Dallas the game.

After looking at stats it's also why I think Lamar Jackson was the right pick for 1st Team all-pro. Passing stats pretty close and Lamar had 600 yds more on the ground. And his team has home field throughout playoffs.

And if folks wanna feel like Dak was dissed, Joe Montana was dissed all the time relative to All-Pro teams earlier in his career. What did he do when that happened? Win SBs. Marino was the rage going int SB XIX and Montana was an afterthought. We know how that turned out.

[msstate7]

Can dak and the cowboys pull a frank reich and bills vs oilers?

[maroonmania]

The GB defense is all over everything. Dak does not appear to have many good options.

[msstate7]

The GB defense is all over everything. Dak does not appear to have many good options.

A good option would be take care of the ball. He's lucky it isn't 4 ints

[State82]

This is one of the more epic embarrassments in professional sports

[dawgday166]

The GB defense is all over everything. Dak does not appear to have many good options.

When there's 3 defenders around 1 WR usually someone else is open somewhere. Either way, he shouldn't pull the trigger on those balls.

[BuckyIsAB****]

They?ll come back now

[parabrave]

I swear the packers know the plays better than the Cowboys.

[Quaoarsking]

They?ll come back now

If the Cowboys get a TD on the opening drive to get to 27-14, they probably will.

[msstate7]

They?ll come back now

Eh, maybe. They do get ball first, but it'll be tough to get a buncha stops on a row with love and lafluer.

[CaptainObvious]

....and Dak Prescott.

The rest of his career will be purgatory there. He will have to win back to back super bowls to get the fans back on his side.

Never gonna happen in Dallas. And nobody is going to take on that contract. If he wants to go to a playoff winner, he will have to take a huge cut in pay.

[dawgday166]

They?ll come back now

If they do ... maybe that will get the playoff monkey off Dak's back.

[Leeshouldveflanked]

I swear the packers know the plays better than the Cowboys.
Dallas only has 1 WR. Jerry not spending $ to get another receiver before the trading deadline was the nail in the coffin.
Also the same play that was a pick six was also intercepted earlier in the season vs 49ers.

[Lord McBuckethead]

For some reason Dallas can?t defend simple passes.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Seems like a skinny slant against a heads up cover man and a LB is doomed.

[Maroonthirteen]

My gosh. It will take Dallas the rest of the half to score. This dink and dunk...

[dawgday166]

Preston giving Dak fits.

[Maroonthirteen]

O V E R

More time for sealing training and back yard football I guess

[Quaoarsking]

Is the Dallas defense throwing the game?

[RocketDawg]

Dallas defense is terrible. Offense isn't much better.

[dawgday166]

Bring on the Rams vs Lions. This is ugly. Like to at least see a good game.

[maroonmania]

Well, when u have receivers with over 10 yards separation from the nearest defender, all you really have to do is flip it in the general direction whether you are on your back foot or front foot. As bad as the Dallas O has been, the Dallas D has been worse.

[BuckyIsAB****]

That was 7th grade level defense from NFL players. Gilmore staring at the QB in man and they just had a backside ILB playing bootleg for absolutely no reason at all. When Vander Esh got hurt it was the end of this defense. Dallas has 2 good players on the whole defense

[BuckyIsAB****]

Love hasnt had to do anything. Dallas is so lost on defense all he has to do is give the route time and loft it up

[parabrave]

Green Bay can take Mike McCarthy back with them/ They know exactly what plays are being called what routes are being run and also which receiver Dak is throwing too. You would think Harbaugh taught Larue haw to cheat. But no cheating needed Why because he is running the same dam offense that got him fired from there.

[dawgday166]

GB coaching staff has them ready to play. Well prepared, relaxed and loose. They just outcoached the hell out of Dallas staff.

ETA: Agree with what Jimmy Johnson said at halftime.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dallas defense was fools gold all year long. If you dont screw it up they are in trouble.

[msstate7]

Dallas defense was fools gold all year long. If you dont screw it up they are in trouble.

14 of GB's points are tied to the cowboys offense

[dawgday166]

14 of GB's points are tied to the cowboys offense

I was just fixing to say that. Kinda kills morale of the D when the O is giving that many pts away.

[RocketDawg]

14 of GB's points are tied to the cowboys offense

And more accurately, to interceptions.

[parabrave]

Dallas only has 1 WR. Jerry not spending $ to get another receiver before the trading deadline was the nail in the coffin.
Also the same play that was a pick six was also intercepted earlier in the season vs 49ers.

people forget, Pearson had Johnson and Billy Jo Dupree, Irvin had Harper and Novechek hell Romo had Dez and Whitten. Dak has Lamb and a bunch of Smurfs.

[RocketDawg]

On a roll now.

[parabrave]

Dak is going to have to forget about Lamb and look for Ferguson.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Onside kick

[RocketDawg]

Dak is going to have to forget about Lamb and look for Ferguson.

Yes, Ferguson has played well when he got the ball.

I don't understand why a pick is illegal.

[RocketDawg]

Aubrey has missed a bunch of FGs/EPs (and that was FG distance). It has to be mental with him now.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Yes, Ferguson has played well when he got the ball.

I don't understand why a pick is illegal.

Because you are literally blocking down field on a pass play

[Activated Alpha]

Need a Dallas D TD and for the offense to continue to roll in the 4th quarter. Can't let GB score another point

[Dawgface]

Onside kick

Should have as the D can't stop GB.

[msstate7]

2 pts woulda made it 2 possession game. Instead you try the 1 to keep it at 3 scores, and you miss it. Wow

[maroonmania]

Dallas D players put money down on GB winning? They sure are playing like it.

[RocketDawg]

Nobody within 30 yards of Musgrave.

[RocketDawg]

Is there a run limit like in Tee Ball?

[Quaoarsking]

Dak hasn't had a great game himself or anything, but this is one of the most shockingly bad defensive performances I've ever seen.

[maroonmania]

That pass looked like he was fielding a punt. Dallas D is just totally unprepared to play today.

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dallas not having a real LB on the roster is killing them. 6 vs 8 in the box ain?t ever gonna work. 14 and 33 look like they have never fit a run in their life. They have been this bad all year. You cant live off of other teams screw ups all year. They have 2 good players on defense after that it is all
Backups

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dak hasn't had a great game himself or anything, but this is one of the most shockingly bad defensive performances I've ever seen.

He has to play great every game or they lose.
He needs to get away from Jerry jones

[parabrave]

Dallas D players put money down on GB winning? They sure are playing like it.

Nope they suck against the Run. Have all year. They need big boys on the DLine not a bunch of Micah parsons.

[maroonmania]

Nope they suck against the Run. Have all year. They need big boys on the DLine not a bunch of Micah parsons.

Today they have sucked against everything.

[msstate7]

Dallas was 5th in scoring defense and total defense. Sometimes teams just have bad games at inopportune times. This is still a good D and a good Dallas team that just ran in to a buzz saw

[RocketDawg]

Have you seen Mahomes "cracked" helmet from last night's game? Apparently the plastic gets very brittle in subzero temps: https://fox59.com/news/national-world/patrick-mahomes-shatters-helmet-during-bitter-cold-chiefs-dolphins-wild-card-game/

[CaptainObvious]

If I was a big time Vegas Bookie with a ton of money coming in on the Packers side late this week, I think I would ask the Justice department to investigate every Dallas Defensive player. Nobody's defense is this bad, not even the team with the 1st pick in this year's draft!

[BuckyIsAB****]

Dallas was 5th in scoring defense and total defense. Sometimes teams just have bad games at inopportune times. This is still a good D and a good Dallas team that just ran in to a buzz saw

I wholeheartedly disagree. Losing 55 killed them. Gilmore is washed and today the coaching and players have been bad. GB isnt a buzz saw. San Fran will murder them

[Activated Alpha]

Looks like we will have to suffer through another year of hearing how Dak can't get through the post season. Sigh, they need some type of mojo in the post season because they continue to suck every year unlike other teams

[parabrave]

Quinn and McCarthy need to be fired 1st thing tom morning

[BeardoMSU]

Quinn and McCarthy need to be fired 1st thing tom morning

Dan probably already has a new gig lined up.

[CaptainObvious]

Aww Hell! Will Rogers would have led the Packers over this Cowboy defense!

[RocketDawg]

Quinn and McCarthy need to be fired 1st thing tom morning

They might be after this. Offer DeBoer that head coaching job. **

[Maroonthirteen]

Looks like we will have to suffer through another year of hearing how Dak can't get through the post season. teams

Well it's true so..... He isn't the only problem but it isn't like he is Tom Brady being held back by a band of misfits.

[dawgday166]

Aww Hell! Will Rogers would have led the Packers over this Cowboy defense!

San Fran probably breathing a sigh of relief he ain't playing for GB **

[maroonmania]

Well it's true so..... He isn't the only problem but he isn't Tom Brady.

No, he's not Brady, but Dak could have played his best game today and Dallas still loses. The GB defense has just been that much better than the Dallas defense.

[BuckyIsAB****]

If Dak resigns for Jerry Jones he really really really loves grey helmets

[RocketDawg]

Did Green Bay go into the Stansbury Stall too early? Probably not, but you never know.

[Statecoachingblows**]

Dear Dak, drop that no trade clause.

[parabrave]

If Dak resigns for Jerry Jones he really really really loves grey helmets

They are not silver but Electric Blue/

[parabrave]

No, he's not Brady, but Dak could have played his best game today and Dallas still loses. The GB defense has just been that much better than the Dallas defense.

You would think that GB went into the Video vault and got out all of McCarthys playoff videos and studied them

[maroonmania]

Come on Dak, you can't throw the ball out of the end zone on 4th down.

[RocketDawg]

You would think that GB went into the Video vault and got out all of McCarthys playoff videos and studied them

Or they hired the guy who was spying for Michigan.

[Maroonthirteen]

The two pick 6s changed the game. I dnk if Dallas wins if those don't happen but it sure is a much closer game.

Then... even in garbage time... No pressure.... lollipops a 35 yard pass out of the back of the endzone to end it. Just a horrible game by Dak and everyone else on that team.

[RocketDawg]

Will McCarthy still be the Dallas coach tomorrow? You never know.

There was only one pick 6 but the other did turn into a TD even though GB ended up with first and goal from the 12. I don't really think they ended up being the difference though. The Dallas D only forced one legitimate punt all day and didn't stop the run, didn't cover the GB receivers, and didn't put a lot of pressure on Love at any point in the game.

[FoggyBottom]

Amazing how good Dak looks after the game is decided. During the first half when the game was on the line, he was the proverbial deer in the headlights.

Learned that from Mullen in big games.

[maroonmania]

Well it helps when the opposing D can go into prevent with over a quarter left to play because the game is so out of hand.

[Bothrops]

Aww Hell! Will Rogers would have led the Packers over this Cowboy defense!

Damn close to it.

[Matt3467]

I'm over the Dak kool-aid. Jerry is what he is but Dak can't win the big games. It's really no different than when he was here. He disappeared vs Bama, and did the same vs OM his last two years. When we needed to beat an OM team coming off a 30-0 loss to a .500 Ark team in '14 he was gone. He had video game numbers vs GT in the bowl game after he threw a pick the opening series that led to their scoring and set the tone.

I had a feeling Dallas was fools gold after seeing that 10 of their 12 wins were against losing teams. Dak is now tied for the worst playoff record of any QB in history at 2-5. I've been a Dak apologist for a long time but I'm over it now.

What did I say that was wrong? 2-5 playoff record isn't exactly a small sample size. Take your maroon colored glasses off for a second and actually formulate a defense.

Down 7 after the D got fairly handled, the play calls on 1st and 2nd down on Dallas' first possession were runs up the middle for minimal gain. Then there was an incompletion on 3rd and long.

Meanwhile the D was dabbling in zone coverage for the first time all season dmfor some reason...

[Turfdawg67]

Meanwhile the D was dabbling in zone coverage for the first time all season dmfor some reason...

Dallas ran for 25 yards their first 3 plays. The next 3 were 2 incompletions and a 1 yard run.

The very next possession Dak gives them the ball on their own 19. Two possessions later throws a pick 6 to make it 27-0. The defense was bad but Dak was to blame for half of the Packers first half points. You can't win games spotting the other team two tds.
