Is the Defense really that bad?

[khiladi]

Buffalo has a good wr group and Beasley isnt their second best wr lol. But this thread isn't about Dak so relax.

Just stop..

Beasley was smashed here and is second on the Bills in terms of receptions and is averaging 15.2 yards per reception.

You Dak-stans will spin every stat to prop up “Desperate Dak”. Nobody predicted Allen would explode with this offense and pretty much every analyst and Dak-homer on this forum was saying we have the best Wr trio in the league and multiple guys were saying 1000 yards for all of them.

And the point is, you guys completely ignore the fact teams are putting up points against EVERY defense in the league in this modern NFL and its all because of the Dak agenda. Seattle’s secondary is hog garbage and they lost Adams in the second half too, and here Dak-stans are blaming “our safety” play.

Might be the worst defense in history. Even the 4th and 3 play that could have ended the game both lbers run to cover the flat leaving greg olsen wide open in the middle of the field. just bad players that have no idea what they are doing

From what I see every team playing a top qb is getting lit up for 30 plus. Saints, Packers, Bills (we played Goff much better than Buffalo or Philly), Chicago (they let Ryan light them up WITHOUT Julio. Seattle gets lit up by every good offense. Philly got lit up by Dwayne Haskins lol. Only team that seems to be playing consistently good is Baltimore. So yeah we are bad, but so is everyone else.

Yes they're terrible and we miss Jeff Heath. Idk why you're not using this opportunity to point this out lol.

Atlanta is the 32nd ranked defense, the absolute worst in the league. That’s worse than Dallas. They were 23rd last year and Dallas was 11th. That’s worse than Dallas.

I’m not hearing that Dak was putting up numbers against a porous defense last week or this week and couldn’t even move the ball, until it was up-tempo when Dallas was down by multiple scores. Our WRs are getting open down the field regularly.

Dak is sitting in a perfect situation for any QB..

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

77 points in the last 2 games, yes they are bad.

 

[khiladi]

We are playing down, because Checkdown Charlie only throws the ball when he’s down by three scores and in desperation mode.

Yes it's bad but the offensive turnovers that give the opponents possession on a short field have not helped...and there have been a lot!

Atlanta Game:

• Dak fumble at our 22 --> 7 pts for ATL
• Zeke fumble at the 45 --> 7 pts for ATL
• Fake punt fail at our 29 --> 3 pts for ATL
• Schultz fumble at our 40 --> 3 pts for ATL
• Fake punt fail at our 43 --> 3 pts for ATL

Seattle Game:

• Failed punt return by Pollard that puts them at their own 1 and leads to safety --> 2 pts for Seattle
• Dak INT at our own 34 --> 7 pts for Seattle
• Dak fumble at our own 5 --> 7 points for Seattle

Obviously the defense is bad and can't get their own turnovers but the offense can't also make things worse by putting them in these big holes.

KRichard got us that 11th Ranking.

Let's not act like this defense isn't letting teams march up and down the field either. This is a bad take.

 

[DuncanIso]

lots of people on here thought Nolan was the greatest hire.

 

[khiladi]

KRichard got us that 11th Ranking.

Him and Marinelli and the ball control offense, led by Zeke. They were 6th in points allowed in 2018.

McCarthy’s staff is questionable, from Philbin to Nolan. And Moore is calling the plays on offense. McCarthy isn’t calling plays on offense, which is his speciality. And it took four years for Dak to exploit man coverage he sees regularly, so changing the offense for this one-read QB would be a disaster. So we literally probably got worse.

The reality is Garrett has been a figurehead since 2014, when Jones completely banished him from the offense. And Garrett is a disaster in NY, with the play-calling a big joke. Columbo is also there, because Garrett took him there, after Columbo was let go. The fact is, this whole RG was built by Callahan, while Garrett feuded with and Garrett had no issue taking the credit for the line Bill built and the RG he produced. With Philbin here, the OL is probably going to get worse and worse, despite “Me. Analytics” being here and we’ll see how Dak “shines” when the OL starts deteriorating as Smith and Martin play starts deteriorating.

The appreciation of Romo should actually grow, considering his whole career outside 2014, was with Garrett calling the plays or interfering with Callahan.

This is what happens when you hire your old buddy to run the defense.

 

[DuncanIso]

teams wouldnt hire Nolan for a reason.

He's washed up.

Until big Mike gets hired. He hires his old buddy Nolan right away.

 

[DuncanIso]

you cant make something like this up.

 

[pansophy]

Defense is 25th in yards allowed, 30th in points allowed, 30th in takeaways - yes, it's that bad.

New scheme and no preseason. It is possible they continue to get better.

 

[khiladi]

Kiffen was worse than Nolan.. the awful Bears lit that defense up, hanging 45 on us. the Saints put up 49 and the Broncos, 51.

Nobody would take Beasley over John Brown realistically. Buffalo doesnt even think it because Beasley gets paid less than Brown lol. And how are you going to assume my post is made to protect Dak? smh.
