2. DALLAS used their time outs to early … let the 49ers try to get the first down … they might have to pass on 3rd down and get an in completion …… another thing is Dak scared to scramble for critical 1st downs???

3. The run defense seemed like they were at least trying. The first half looked better than the second fs

4. The real reason Dallas lost is because they suck and so do their fans you guys have been going through this s*** for almost 30 years and you continue to think they're going to win something. You guys deserve what you get😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

5. The defense got abused period

6. Would love to see cowboys hire Al Harris as head coach. Get rid of Dak, he’s a spitting image of Romo. Never gonna get to a super bowl.

7. Dak is just terrible man I can’t defend him anymore he is a huge part of problem. Forced reads, unnecessary hero ball when up, doesn’t audible out of terrible plays and can’t get it done when given a chance he is finished.

8. I thought after 2nd down on the first series, that playcalling was going to be inept and they were going to get blown out. You give Zeke the ball on 1st down and he gets 6 yards. So, what would you do? On 2nd down they go into an obvious pass play. Why run the first play if you are not going to setup the run on the next play? They coulda and shoulda play actioned off Zeke on 2nd down and didn't. Also, I thought when Dak ran the ball some, the offense was better, but now he is not doing that at all. This means they probably did not even have an offensive game plan, because the calls made NO SENSE. They panicked in the 3rd quarter and got pass happy. It was 13-10, they needed to stick to the run.

9. Im a lifelong dallas fan and have been happy with our winning seasons despite the laughable playoff games, but their issues are starting to pile up. Dak didnt deserve top dog pay the second time, he chokes and doesn't carry the team when needed, zeke(god bless him) never shoulda been brought back and the list goes on. I sum our team up as soft, candy asses. Just like how they were when aikman played except we aint got an aikman that calls it how it is in the field.

10. They need to have Lance active on game days to use him as Taysom Hill like weapon. He would be our best RB.

11. I didn't even watch the game I'm watching other teams play

12. Dak is mediocre in his best moments, and below average most of the time…

13. Fire Mike please what are they waiting for

14. The run defense was bad. It just did not look as bad because in the Detroit game the running game was atrocious.

15. @DoubleMove

    Dak is Willie Beaman in his first game in Any Given Sunday on repeat. He ran for 2,500 yards at Mississippi State. Dallas always tried to make him into something he isn’t. He needed to be traded this offseason and Jerry blew it as always.

16. Cowboys are just bad this year. At the end of the day its just a game.

17. Dak needs to stop listening to Mike, just like Aaron Rodgers used to. Dak needs to call his own plays from the huddle and make adjustments at the line. Mike is no OC and it shows.

18. If you’re making over $3 Million a game you have to play great every game no matter what.

19. Dallas stinks period! Both lines are horrible no weapons qb has too many brain farts diggs is soft hooker is soft Wilson’s an idiot coach is dumb owners a jerk I can go on but u get it 🤦‍♀️🤓

20. Not gone lie I was skeptic about watching this video bc I’ve seen u w them dak fanboys but good take

21. The collapse of the defense has had a synergistic impact on how the team functions as a whole.

    In 2023, turnovers collected by our Defense yielded more offensive snaps with favorable field position……

    That yielded more scoring opportunities, which led to scores…

    Which generated *momentum*.

    Complementary football.

    Wash, rinse, repeat.

    However, with that all having been said, the sort of defensive amalgam that generated those exact sorts of outcomes were also extremely vulnerable against more balanced, physical football teams.

    That's because Dan Quinn's defensive system relies primarily on quickness and athletic ability to both confuse and overwhelm the opposition.

    As I see it, the difference this year, primarily, is that opposing offensive coordinators are forcing our defense to line up in ways that expose it's inability to play physical football.

    All of this is made worse by the fact that the Cowboys can't mitigate the damage by way of a competent running game (impacting time of possession, field position & team momentum).

    Then, because they haven't had the easy scoring opportunities (due to collecting fewer defensive turnovers)
    They haven't jumped out to big leads…

    Which, this season, has really allowed opponents to focus on exploiting our inability to stop the run.

22. bro said “they only allowed 30 points” like that was something to praise 😂

23. Dak could be getting senile

24. The problem is and has been Jerry jones for a long long time

25. Yah ! It's always a biotch to lose,but I like to look at some positive things.I thought we were pretty close to winning this thing inspite of all the mistakes.Just ask the niner fans on the last drive who almost soiled their pants. If was a cowboy player I wouldn't camp out on the crappy feedback at all.Its gonna be crystal clear on tape.I think this can be a great game to learn from with this unit.Dak got some time once in awhile for a change and when he did receivers were blanketed.This was made possible by improved O Line play.We played with heart and at times were so close,not to mention bad calls in crucial moments like the no call Pass interference.aSay what you will, but I am hopeful this team will get better as the year goes on.

26. The problem I see with the defense Zimmer doesn’t have implement counter adjustments is when you counter what the offense has seen and you counter the probabilities of the plays they might use but with too much man to man with inexperienced players is a burden of responsibility that they are not capable of but as for the offense play Trey and Rush the Quarterbacks are practicing more often with the second team and with Lance run pass options diversity. Because this point you ain’t winning with Dak and let other players play see what they got.

27. Cowboys suck this year. They did nothing to improve , , so they can improve next year? – I don't get it.

28. The real reason? Dak sucks at giving the other team the ball and in the 4th quarter somehow then realizes, oh we might lose this game I better play! Anybody thinks it’s not Daks fault is a dumbass!

29. Good video Zac. Balanced and fair. You did a better job evaluating the game than I would have. Cowboy fan for years. I have watched decades of great players get burned by this front office. This year is no different than the past years. The front office is to blame for everything this team does. Wasn't a fan when JJ bought the team not a fan of that post now. This is a marketing organization pretending to be a football team. Wake up fans you have been duped for decades but keep returning like a battered spouse. Wake up!

30. Iam with you that did not make scene

31. 30 points is a chance to win? Smh stop grading on a curve.

32. Who cares what the real reason was. They suck. Sick of them.

33. Double if they played good as your content , the conversation is different.

34. They are not putting the players in a position to win. McCarthy doesn’t know how to play to his players strengths!

35. Shut up…

36. RE: Dak, go look at play design and tell me he's the biggest problem. Dak thrives off pre-snap intelligence. McCarthy won't give him any.

    No shifts, almost no pre-snap motion, no at-snap motion. No play action. Play action is EASY SAUCE for freezing a couple defenders. Scheming receivers open happened maybe once or twice in the game, and it worked! But the rest…static, boring, bad routes, no scheming people open.

    Any QB also needs receivers to be open. On play after play after play, McCarthy sent ONE receiver out deep, then paired the other guys up with HORRIBLE spacing, all close together.

    Yeah, Dak threw it into heavy coverage, but look where the other receivers were. MM is killing this offense, and Dak is getting frustrated.

37. Us cowboys fan's need to boycott these bums already! They are a joke of an organization! Starting at the top with JERRY!

38. As a whole they are lousy. Way too many "I"s in this team. As for Dak, that comes with the contract and he's not getting any more shit than any other QB gets when their team is losing. If he can't hack it then he can jump off.

39. Two interceptions and limited cap from greedy QB cost the game

40. I can guess every single cowboy first and second down, zeke up the gut, how lucrative

41. The idiot Jones' destroyed this team when they paid a very average QB a quarter of a billion dollars. There is no way to overcome this. His cap hit next year is $90 million. You know what this means. They are going to stretch this ridiculous contract out for yet another two years. How can anyone be so stupid? I hope the boos in Jerrah's stadium are deafening for the next 6 years. F the Jones'.

42. Don't you think it's time to take a critical look at Dak? His record against winning teams is terrible. His 1st year was his best year…he has not improved. He just doesn't have the tools.
    He is immobile…he is not elusive…he has average arm strength…he doesn't see the whole field…he throws into double & triple coverage because he locks onto his primary receiver…he very rarely
    looks off defenders and that allows them to know where he's throwing the ball…he rarely tries to get the ball down the field and when he does, he's not very accurate, the ball is high, the ball is
    low, the ball is behind the receiver. He rarely hits a receiver in stride which limits yac yards…he doesn't do the little things, like using a hard count to draw the defense off sides. His ball handling
    and "misdirection" needs serious work…he doesn't square his shoulders and set his feet when he passes…his footwork is terrible. He'll take a sack before he'll throw the ball away. I've yet to hear anyone tell me what Dak is good at. Stats are a red herring…a high completion percentage isn't hard when most of his completions are less than 10 yards. How many times have we heard him say, "I've got to play better?" Believe it or not, I like Dak…as a person, but not as a QB. He's just not a different maker and he never will be…the tools just aren't there.

43. Thought we had it going into the half

44. People still making excuses for dak. He is the reason cowboys lost . And the pass to Turpin would have been out of bounds.

45. Only 30 points, thats almost 2 touchdowns more then a quality defense should allow in a game
