Agree with what Hoof said you can get alot of yards which has obviously been the case with Dallas, but they don't mean a thing if you can't get it in the end zone. That's been a problem for the last several seasons. Settling for too many field goals. Not being able to run it is also a reason why we've had red zone problems. It's hard to score touchdowns consistently if you are one dimensional and aren't able to run it down there on the goal line. Turnovers are another problem. Romo has 15 and the Cowboys as a whole have over 20.
Defensively we've been very solid. In the last two weeks we faced arguably the two most explosive offenses in football in the Giants and Falcons and gave up two touchdowns. I know forcing turnovers has been an issue, but overall you have to say this defense is playing as well as any defense outside of Chicago. What makes it even more impressive is Sean Lee went down with a season ending injury and yet this defense is still getting it done. I know they collapsed a little bit in the fourth quarter of the last game, but again the offense's inability to score points is just too much to overcome right now. They gotta get it going.
