Twitter: Sturm doesn't want us to forget Cowboys missed playoffs because of these things from 2019

Thanks Bob, what a way to remind us. Hopefully the new defense will prevent that in the future.

I like Strum's work overall, but it's a big fail here that he did not include the rushing yards that two of those three quarterbacks had against us. It kept drives alive and gave them scoring chances again and again and again. And it happened because of our $20 million man too, not the free agent on the other side people try to lay the blame on.

Yes a lot of other things went on that attributed to those losses.

It was just a few months ago Sturn. STHU

Josh Allen was pretty effective last year. And the Cowboys offense left a lot to be desired in those games as well. This seems to read like “the AFC East is bad” when is in fact, the AFC East was good.

If his point is that "the defense failed"? Fine, no arguments there. They did. But that means all of them, not just an attempt to single out a particular level or group. That's not accurate.

coaching staff fail from top; to bottom is the reason for the dallas cowboys missing the playoffs last season with the talent they had they should of won at least 11 or 12 games the clown coaching staff was abysmal that's the reason theyare all gone mostly

And that same collapse been going on for years. Coaching has been pure crap.

Nussmeir, Moore and Lett only ones retained.

Nussmeir moved back to his more normal QB coach
KM staying as OC of course, but with a touch of MM's offense merged in.
Lett staying but basically demoted to a DL assistant as he was the DT's coach.

O'Quinn put back to the scouting department. So I won't count him as staff that was retained.

I am fine with these moves.

The defensive performances vs Buffalo and Chicago were tough to watch. I will also say when you lose that Jets game it had to come back to haunt you.

2019 was one of the most disappointing seasons of all time in my opinion. Rough at many levels.

Dallas scored two total touchdowns in the first three quarters of those games.

Bob leaves that part out.

Agreed. It's true the defense and ST's failed us too often, but the offense is far from blameless. The offense was explosive at times, but it was way too inconsistent.

 

[Kevinicus]

Too bad the team wasted such great efforts by Dak (and others) in those games too.



Let's not forget the reason the Cowboys missed the playoffs last year is because they lost 2 games when the opponent scored 13 or fewer points.

 

[atlantacowboy]

I think the point here is that we allowed those QBs to have great games against us.............probably their best games of the season. That said, our offense and Dak in particular was putrid in those games.

 

[StarBoyz83]

The offense lost some games too

Thanks Bob, what a way to remind us. Hopefully the new defense will prevent that in the future.

It wasn't the defense that lost two of those games.

NY scored 21 points in the first 57 minutes of the game. It was the offense that was terrible in this game.

Buffalo scored 13 points in first and 13 points in second, not like they were running up and down the field. The offense scored on their first possession and then took 51 minutes to score again. With offensive support Dallas could have been competitive in this game.

The Chicago game was the worst for the defense all year, followed by Green Bay(Detroit also).

Like I have stated many times. In the wins the offense averaged 37 points, in the losses 17. A 20 point drop off. The defense averaged 17 points in the wins, and 23 in losses, a 6 point difference.

Take out the two bad games I referred to and the average for the defense is 20 points in losses. 20 points average is what Dallas averaged for the year and was 11th in the NFL. The defense was actually quite steady in 2019.

When the offense underperformed Dallas loss. The problem was they underperformed a lot, very inconsistent. That's the story of 2019.

And had Jason Garrett as head coach.
