LOL. It never ends.

You mean to tell me TWill didn't save Dak's *** on that throw? Not the broken up INT, the first throw in OT? Stop it. Dak was off. He did enough at the end and the game winner was all Dak.

Dak was off most of the game but definitely wasn't in OT. What part of going 5 for 5 are you not getting? That broken up INT wasn't in OT. If it was he wouldn't be 5 for 5. He hit every target in OT. That means no incompletions in OT.

You can complete 100% of your passes and still be inaccurate. You can make poor reads and still complete 100% of your passes. Even that last throw to Witten wasn't the prettiest thing lol. We still won and I'm not mad, but this definitely was one of his least impressive performances of the season (or most impressive if you consider his resiliency).

I clearly stated it wasn't in OT.

The first throw in OT was high to TWill. TWill made an impressive leap to catch the ball. He missed high, a lot. He threw behind Witten on the TD, luckily, Witten was wide open.

There's no point. Anyone pro-Romo is automatically anti-Dak now. It's hopeless.

This is asinine.

If I throw a ball 10 yards and my WR has to make a diving catch and he does, it's still a completion.

If I throw a ball 10 yards and hit my WR in stride, it's 10 yards (and then some) and every NFL team wants that from their QB.

Compare the accuracy of 2 elite QBs this year: Brady and Rodgers. Both studs, but what's been the difference in how they've played? Brady has been precise and Rodgers has not. (Strictly about how THEY themselves have played, this isn't about who has better support, coaching, etc.)

All you have to do is watch and you can see the difference being accurate makes.

The only way I would slant this game in a pro-Romo light would be to point out that Dak has RZ passing issues. Romo understands how defense works inside the 20s in the NFL. Dak hasn't learned that yet. It was bad in the NYG game and worse against Philly.

This has to improve or any hopes of a long playoff run will go for naught

It was thrown like that on purpose. In a contract year it is nice to know your receiver can use his hands to catch a pass.

Go back and watch it. There was no need to throw it that high and all it did was open Williams up to a potentially big hit.

I highly doubt that's what their offensive coaches want to see. It was a poor throw, and Williams bailed him out.
