NFL GDT: 2017 NFC Divisional Round: (1) Dallas Cowboys vs (4) Green Bay Packers

[777]

I still can't believe that finish.. Unbelievable game

 

[bobbyorr04]

defeat has a bitter taste I see... the game was won by the team with more clutch and you may get use to this bcz Dak & Zeke are pure chokers (as witnessed)

You don't have a clue what you're talking about, and don't know what the definition of a choker even means.

Two rookies playing in their first ever NFL playoff game trailing by 15 points to tie the game late in the fourth quarter (twice) is the exact opposite of a choke job.

If anything, I'd say the Cowboys defense, some questionable coaching decisions and Brice Butler let them down this game.

If you were to label Butler as a choker, I would have to agree with you on that one, but Dak and Zeke are going to be great players in this league.

 

[TheGuarantee]

Dak Prescott just had the greatest performance by a rookie QB in a playoff game in the super bowl era.

LOL! Big Ben says otherwise

 

[Gene Parmesan]

LOL! Big Ben says otherwise

Dak was more impressive.

 

[darko]

Dak was great. Rodgers was better.

Stupid post is .... stupid.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

Dak threw for 300 yards and 3 TD's, Zeke ran for 125. Not sure how you can blame either of them. Dallas just has a bad secondary that was exposed by a HOF QB, calling two rookies chokers after they put up a combined almost 450 yards in their first playoff game seems uneducated or just a bad attempt at trolling

 

[What the Faulk]

That was the stupidest ****ing call. That happens all the time. Total bs for the refs to attempt to influence a playoff game like that.

Stupid post is .... stupid.

I mean, the dude is using a Putin gif so that should tell you where his head is at. But sure, Dak "choked"

 

[ShootIt]

I hate everything.

Byron Jones is #1 on my list

 

[Hunter Gathers]

And kaepernick was only good because he had one of the greatest qb coaches ever

And Dak has the best OL and one of the best (if not the best) RBs in the league. He's a very good game manager.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Now Dak is a game manager. A lot of bad QB takes as usual.

 

[Halladay]

I thought both quarterbacks made some dumb decision and probably should have been intercepted more than once. The officiating was fine.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Now Dak is a game manager. A lot of bad QB takes as usual.

The label has been around since his college days, and for good reason. He's not a downfield thrower. He primarily makes his yards up in short passing. He's very good at it and has the potential to be more, though, if he can improve. It's not like it's really a bad thing behind that line and with Zeke. But let's not pretend he's some great downfield QB.

 

[InjuredChoker]

tom brady primarily makes his yards up in short passing, too.

 

[Tony Romo]

This season was absolutely crazy. when Romo went down I thought we had 0 chance to do anything or was hoping to win a couple games so we would have a shot. Dak/Zeke opens up our window more. Gotta lock up Martin for more years to come and all of our core is locked up. Our rookies were amazing and hopefully they progress with another year and Jaylon Smith coming.

Going to be an interesting offseason.

Wilcox, Claiborne, Church and all FA's. Carr will be back since he has a 3m team option. Scandrick, Brown and Byron Jones will be. We've realized Gregory/Lawerence can't be depended on for a DEnd position. hopefully we find a #2 WR, a TE to groom and a RT to groom for the future. focus mostly on the defensive side of the ball.

Yeah, I don't get the narrative about Dak. He takes what they give him, he also made throws down the field as well. Essentialy, if the D is allowing the receivers to get open in the slot you deliver the ball rather than forcing it into coverage down the field. Always make the higher percentage play, if it's good enough for the best QB in the league it's good enough for Dak.

That same o-line took the Cowboys to a 4-12 record last season when McFadden was 4th in rushing. Zeke is awesome, and the o-line is great. No question there, but Dak was great in his own right during the season and even yesterday. He made a number of great plays to make the game winnable.

But let's not pretend he's some great downfield QB.

Every QB makes up most of their passing yards from short throws. Brady's throw charts all look identical to Dak's. Trust me. I've been watching this fight all season from the Romo lovers. They are all sure Dak never throws downfield, and they're also sure every pass Romo throws is a 20 yard TD. Well, let's compare the numbers. Dak vs Romo's great 2014 season.



This isn't so much about playing the gottaberightus game. The truth is fans think good QBs throw downfield more often than they really do.

No it hasn't. He was a "running QB". So every QB who relies on the intermediate passing game is a game manager now?

That is a nice hot take. Dak has weapons but the kid is the real deal and will only get better this summer as more plays are added to the playbook. He didn't even get a full training camp as the starter

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

I'm still incredibly pissed at McCarthy trying to run out the clock from the 35 yard line when Dallas had 3 timeouts left.

Im pissed Garrett sacrificed a down when he didn't need to and we were moving the ball down field. It let the Packers D regroup. It was like Garrett was fine with just getting a fg.

McCarthy did the same thing.

Run with Montgomery on 1st and 10 gained a couple yards, Cowboys call timeout.
Run with Montgomery that gets blown up for a 6 yard loss, Cowboys call timeout.

Now it's a 3rd and 14, the Cowboys still have 1 timeout and it's going to be difficult to pick up a 1st down. You have an MVP QB, a team with 3 timeouts and are on the fringes of field goal range and you're running plays like you're inside the 20 and the opponent only has 1 timeout left.

Oh boy.

Does anyone think that he wasn't? They had 0 intention of scoring a TD.
