Concerned about this defense

[Romo_To_Dez]

They gave up 34 points for the 2nd game in a row. And outside of turnovers, has had trouble getting stops and making the other team punt. And hasn't been getting pressure on the QB like they use to. They have two weeks to fix the issue, before we play who is most likely going to be Brady in the playoffs.

Eagles arent a good matchup for us

we need brown and LVE and Hankins badly

but lets discuss this next week we won

 

[HungryLion]

You should
Be concerned. They aren’t good right now largely due to injury.

 

[zenmastersauce]

Yea it's a concern. We got injured but it's next man up because it's football. We gotta do better and that's all we can do.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

It’s been a concern since the 90s. What’s new?

 

[d_cowboy31]

The injury excuse is pretty silly. We've actually done really well with injuries compared to most teams.

 

[dsturgeon]

Not at all. The eagles have a good defense, look what they gave up. Even with the injuries, I do want them to play better. They had 4 turnovers, so I will not complain too much

 

[TheCoolFan]

Quinn is already looking ahead to his next HC job so I wouldn't expect much help from him at this point

 

[CT Dal Fan]

Thinking the same. This would have been a blowout win if the defense didn't make Minshew look like an all-pro.

Happy with the win, concerned about this defense in the playoffs.

The saving grace of this D is getting turnovers.
Without them we would be giving up 50 a game

You're right about the Eagles but Dallas was facing a backup QB. I'm worried.

 

[lostar2009]

Yeah this D is toast.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

Please give them credit. They actually stopped Jax in OT and gave it to the offense to win the game. 4 turnovers today. Big time INT's by Kearse and Bland. No sacs but a lot of pressure in the second half. We stopped them when we needed it MOST. A lot of pressure on that last drive.

 

[NorthoftheRedRiver]

The swagger is most certainly gone and they seem a step behind on most plays.

 

[Preoccupied]

Who won the game again regardless of our D ?

Quinn has work to do from now till we are eliminated or win out.

I will let Quinn worry and work on that , it will make or break my opinion on him.

Until then though I have had an early present gifted to me 4 times by the eagles, who would have thought ......

you don't win many games giving up 34 points; that is REALITY

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

They came in a one loss team. Hated rival and they were playing for the East and #1 seed. Not an easy task. I'm not gonna beat up the defense today.

Sometimes it's context and game flo/opponent. Can you make plays when you need it most. Philly gave up 40. Did you miss that part?

Ménshew throws the ball better then Hurts and their whole team was healthy. The defense forced 4 turnovers and leads the league for the second year in a row with forced turnovers. We are fine. Bland and Wright can play.

that backup qb played great. His passes were really good. Considering the injuries the defense played alright
