Romo has 29 game winning drives. Dak has 23 or 24 for 2nd most. Roger is behind both at 21 or 22. You're really just suffering from rosy retrospection. Romo led the league in his 8 prime seasons with 4th quarter comebacks and GWD's and he was crucified because of his playoff record. We're doing the same thing with Dak. He's not Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen so he sucks, which of course a witless way to evaluate things. Roger the dodger won some titles but he didn't have to comeback that often because he played with the best defenses in Dallas history only arguably was Troy. The franchise is mediocre. We've rarely had the type of team who can win it all. Maybe 2-3 times in the last 30 years was there a team who could have with the right breaks possibly cashed in. That's fucking awful. Regardless, I think we probably lose a lot of these one score games this year. If Dak's healthy, we'll be in the playoff hunt because he's that good but we won't be real contenders. We still gave up 170 rushing yards tonight and in a game where AJB was playing on one leg (as rumored) and still not in game shape, we couldn't stop them in the first half and then we couldn't not stop ourselves in the 2nd with turnovers and bad drops.
Offensively, the OL has to figure out these things called stunts..... twists, loops, or knifes. These are things HS teams run. They aren't exotic yet our guys look like they're playing Australian football when they happen. But overall they were pretty good. Philly's got a pretty good secondary and Dak probably goes for 250+ if CeeDee catches a couple of balls. Folks say we ran the ball well and we had some glimpses but without the Miles Sanders run, who should be cut on Saturday, we ran for about 3.5 YPC. Javonte Williams averaged 3.6 YPC and looked like Zeke circa 2022. Sort of painful. Some explain why the let Rico go for Williams again? He just lacks the explosiveness to get through holes quickly. The game went quick because both defenses allowed a lot of yardage and plays in the first half. With Dak, CD and Pickens health, we'll probably be in the playoff hunt, but just too talent deficient to make a real run. Watching some of the DL grow and get better will be interesting. We're a Diggs injury from having the worst secondary in football.
