Cowboys game thread

[msstate7]

Barkley is unbelievable

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Horrible job by the cowboys D. Got shoved around on run blocking, lost guys in coverage, and did a dumb penalty. Not exactly the salty D we wanted to see

[BayouDawg]

Cowboys defense looks terrible

[Commercecomet24]

Cowboys defense looks really bad right now

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

CB trying to tackle Barkley never even tried to wrap up, now we got substitution problems. This D isn't looking very well coached

[DancingRabbit]

Cha-ching. Dak doing work.

[msstate7]

That was a brees-like pass. Nice

[dawgday166]

That was a brees-like pass. Nice

Tommy better than Dak *****

[TrapGame]

Randall Cobb is a grown ass man.

[bluelightstar]

Did the Cowboys mess around and get a passing game

[Commercecomet24]

Dak is really good at football!

[SailingDawg]

Someone tell me why they haven't paid Dak, yet? Is he too nice to demand or hold out?

[RocketDawg]

I'll admit ... I didn't know Jason Witten had un-retired.

What's the Darth Vader looking patch on Witten's uniform? Eli has one too. Is it for team captains? They've already got a C. For veterans or something?

[RocketDawg]

The announcers mentioned his new contract would be signed in a few days. Not sure why it's taking so long.

[Quaoarsking]

Maybe Kellen Moore is a genius after all. Wouldn't be shocking - the man won 50 games as a college QB.

[Rick Danko]

Giants fans and Eli Manning hate the troops....

[SailingDawg]

I'll admit ... I didn't know Jason Witten had un-retired.

Yeah they asked him to come play for a year IIRC.

[Coach007]

They need to pay him.


AND WITTEN!!! You have to just smile at a man who retired and came back to help his former team.

[Commercecomet24]

Maybe Kellen Moore is a genius after all. Wouldn't be shocking - the man won 50 games as a college QB.

That and he played for an aggressive innovative playcaller and coach at Boise

[RocketDawg]

He's 30 but looks to be about 18. Did he ever play in the NFL?

[DancingRabbit]

Defense getting the kinks worked out.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Did the Cowboys mess around and get a passing game

By the end of last year Gallop was looking good and Jarwin was looking serviceable at TE. And they added Cobb and Witten. Looks like they just might have.

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

He's 30 but looks to be about 18. Did he ever play in the NFL?

I know he was a 2nd/3rd string at Dallas for a number of years

[Lord McBuckethead]

He played for one week, until he broke a bone and Dak took it over.

[Mjoelner34]

Wow! Beautiful TD pass to Cooper.

[gdawg1229]

It's for having won the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

[Commercecomet24]

Brady, Brees, Prescott!

[BeardoMSU]

Dak is out there stealin' NY's innocence, lol...

[Pinto]

I used to love Troy Aikman, but I have lost almost all respect for him since he started calling Cowboys games. He's like Uncle Rico that can't accept other players are good and might just pass him by. Always negative in his analysis.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Dak 20/26 256 3TD 0 INT and 2 1st down runs

And it's halftime...

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah I hate him doing Dallas games he's way over the top in criticizing the cowboys

[RocketDawg]

Yep. He seems worried about Dak.

[BeardoMSU]

Holy shit, Dak.

[Commercecomet24]

Yep. He seems worried about Dak.

Yeah it's crazy. He's so condescending about Dak sometimes.

[BeardoMSU]

The Cowboys PA guy should start playing Ice Cube's "No Vaseline", lol. Dak is murdering this game.

[Commercecomet24]

Holy shit, Dak.

Pay the man!

[R2Dawg]

Yep. He seems worried about Dak.

He seems to look for every opportunity to be negative on Dak and praise everyone around Dak when Dak does something good. He just can't give Dak anything without taking something away from him.

[DancingRabbit]

That was quite rude what they did to Eli there.

[msstate7]

Giants, it's time... go to Daniel Jones. I wanna see him play

[Commercecomet24]

Yep the little lights are not twinkling Dak lol

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

Randel Cobb is a weapon

[DancingRabbit]

Eli be looking like

[Red Sox Dawg]

Dak is sending Jerry a message.

[TrapGame]

Dak broke one of Aikman's records today. Most yards in an opening game. Atta boy Dak!

[MaroonFlounder]

Dak is hopefully making his case to be in the top echelon of QB contracts.

And maybe shutting up some of the haters within the Cowboys fanbase.

[Commercecomet24]

Play calling is so much better this year!

[No BS Dawg]

Dak stats at end of 3rd...

24-30 393 yards 4 TDs

Seems like a pretty good day***

[WSOPdawg]

Play calling is so much better this year!

Thank goodness Scott Linehan was relieved of OC duties and replaced with Kellen Moore. Much more creative and imaginative.

[shoeless joe]

Some of y’all too sensitive in this dak/Aikman dynamic. He’s giving plenty of praise.

[Commercecomet24]

Yeah I like it a lot! Using everyone

[mstatefan91]

Pat Shermer seems pretty clueless about officiating in the NFL

[Dawgology]

All those “MSU fans” saying Dak isn’t one of the leagues top QB’s will now disappear like a fart in the wind.

[msstate7]

How big of a group you talking here? You put em above Mahomes, Brady, Brees, Ben, and rivers? Those are my top 5... well, assuming Rodgers doesn't bounce back

[Quaoarsking]

Stop handing it off! I want Dak to surpass Norm Van Brocklin today.

[dawgday166]

How big of a group you talking here? You put em above Mahomes, Brady, Brees, Ben, and rivers? Those are my top 5... well, assuming Rodgers doesn't bounce back

Not sure Rivers belongs in the group of 5 you have there. Don't pay too much attention to NFL so you'll probably bring some stats back to me saying otherwise LOL.

[Dawgology]

Top 5-10. Had some dude on one forum last week saying he didn’t even fall in the top 15.

[msstate7]

Not sure Rivers belongs in the group of 5 you have there. Don't pay too much attention to NFL so you'll probably bring some stats back to me saying otherwise LOL.

Rivers is debatable. Russell Wilson probably has a claim too. Deshaun Watson with an oline that isn't awful is probably borderline top 5.

[msstate7]

Top 5-10. Had some dude on one forum last week saying he didn’t even fall in the top 15.

It's all subjective, but I can see dak pushing in to the top 10. I don't see top 5, yet

[dawgday166]

Rivers is debatable. Russell Wilson probably has a claim too. Deshaun Watson with an oline that isn't awful is probably borderline top 5.

I'd put Wilson before Rivers. To me you really have a top 3 and Rodgers/Wilson have a little bit of a claim to belong in their company. Mahomes has to still prove it over time.

[Quaoarsking]

Well, Dak's about to be 33-16 in his career (and 1 of those 16 really Mark Sanchez played most of the game since the Cowboys had already clinched their playoff spot). Only 1 QB in the NFL wouldn't trade his record for theirs.

If he wins a SB I believe he will belong in that group. Dak is proving he's really good and he'll work like a dog to get better too.

You think drew brees, Big Ben, Rodgers, and Russell Wilson would trade their career records and super bowl rings to have dak's record? Really? Hell, Eli wouldn't cash his 2 rings in for a regular season record

[dawgday166]

You just mad cause Dak is better than Brees ****

[Quaoarsking]

Yes, they would trade their last 3 regular seasons for Dak's last 3.

[msstate7]

You just mad cause Dak is better than Brees ****

And Stevens is better than both, and it ain't even close

[msstate7]

Hell of a start for dak.

[dawgday166]

And Stevens is better than both, and it ain't even close

I know ... and I'm looking forward to dethroning Bama this year.

[DownwardDawg]

You’re trying way too hard to be condescending. You know exactly what he meant. Is that you c34?

[Lord McBuckethead]

Dak looked very good today. Kind of like when he had Dez when dez was tryingbto catch footballs.

[msstate7]

You can't have a better day, perfect passer rating.

Carrying the torch while C34 is gone.

[Coach007]

So much of that is not on just DAK. Which truly sucks. It's the supporting cast.

That's like Eli. Come on. He was really good and still making great decisions, but we all know they will replace him because of money. It allows them to get a better supporting cast around Jones.

[dantheman4248]

Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott are the best QBs in the league and you can’t argue the numbers.

Brady: 0 passer rating
Brees: 0 Passer rating
Lamar: 158.3 passer rating
Dak: 158.3 passer rating

Just facts sry.

[R2Dawg]

Some of y?all too sensitive in this dak/Aikman dynamic. He?s giving plenty of praise.

He didn't have much choice after the day Dak had but as soon as he did on passer rating he starts dogging passer rating and pointing out that Dak missed some throws and he didn't understand how you can have a perfect passer rating. Troy is absolutely jealous of Dak's success and it is obvious. I wasn't looking for this, it has become clear. I don't care either way except I want Dak to get the credit he deserves.

Dak is one of the darlings of the NFL. He’s not a top 5-10 talent as a QB, but he is an elite football player and leader.

Some of the things Aikman says are tongue in cheek as well...I was thinking the same thing about how he could have a perfect rating when he wasn’t perfect on the day. In fact at the beginning of the game dak was off. Bad off. Even some completions weren’t good throws.

Troy did comment on dak’s supporting cast making his job easier...guess what...it does. Guess what else...Aikman benefitted from a supporting cast as much as anyone in the NFL ever. So he knows what he’s talkin about in that regard.

That’s reaching. My mother asked the same question 10 minutes earlier than when troy brought it up. It’s a weird arbitrary number that’s hard to explain. It’s due to the fact that they wanted an average game to be 66.7 and a 100+ be excellent and that’s the way the formula shook out to give a floor of 0.

And I drafted both for my fantasy team. Had Dak playing, but the other guys can't beat me when the 2nd best fantasy QB for week 1 is on my bench.
