In the Dallas game he had 6 3rd and makable plays that didnt result in a first down.
On a day he had the highest rating among the QBs this weekend , the team went 2 for 13 and 6 were 3rd and 7 or under on pass plays that failed. He had the opportunities.
I will let others debate why they couldnt convert 2 or 3 of those that may or may not have won the game but he had chances to change the outcome. Audibles, scrambles or just hitting the open reciever I dont know. He will almost always come away with high QB ratings,low turnovers,high comp. % and keep the game close enough to pull out at the end but Saturday was winnable whether you agree with the playcalls or not. He isnt perfect but even with holes in his game the stats look like he was the best on Saturday and I dont think he was on crucial plays.
Okay first 7 yards on 3rd is considered long. 6 yards or more on 3rd down is considered long.
That said lets look at each 1
1 one 3rd and 2 so there is 1
2nd 3rd and 13
3rd was 3rd and 6
4th 3rd and 7
5th 3rd and 7
6th 3rd and 3 but was before the half w8ith time running down that still is 2
7th 3rd and 6
8th 3rd and 17
9th 3rd and 7 oh by the way we went for it on 4th and made it
10th 3rd and 5 we made and we made 3
11th 3rd and 6
12th 3rd and 20
13th 3rd and 10
So let's see only 3 that were 3rd and 5 or less. PC himself said to many 3rd and long
"What is Third-and-Long?
A situation in football where a team is faced with need to generate significant yards, typically more than 6 yard, to get a first down on their third down. Generally, teams will punt the football on the fourth down so third-and-long situations require the team to generate the yards needed on that single play, which limits the play options."

as to the rest your opinion, which the facts, stats, and experts disagree
