Dak played like gangbusters against TB last year with a 143 QB rating and then laid an egg against SF throwing for 206 yards and 63 QB rating the following week. Would anyone be surprised if we saw the same thing? I'd bet our posts from last years playoff games were very similar to what we're posting now. But someone here thinks Dak has busted out and the critics are "hollow." I get an eerily feeling like I've been here before.......
MM has done a real good job and for the first time it doesn't feel like the wheels will fall off if we're missing a player(s). That's something we saw a ton of in the past with scrubs like Garrett. MM is not without his criticisms but he's done a darn good job. He'll be another casualty of our QB if he lays an egg (again). And if that happens, we'll wash, rinse and repeat the season all over again next year.
Ultimately no I guess I wouldnt be surprised. Though I think the odds of Prescott being as good against Green Bay this weekend as he was last yr v Tampa are lower too. I think Green Bay may present some match up problems for us on both sides of the ball, and Tampa had no interest in playing last year.
That said, the other difference is Prescott went into the playoffs playing poorly. He was awful vs Tennessee and was even more dreadful v Washington a week later. The Buffalo game was not all that goof for him but the defense really lost that game by checking out v the run, and he bounced back with good games after that.
I'd say I am cautiously optimistic about how Prescott and the offense will play. But we've all seen this act a few times before. Time for him and the rest of them to deliver when it counts most.
