Defensively Dallas belongs in the Super Bowl, but the offense is suspect

[GMO415]

40-0 is unreal the very first game on the road in the NFL. With that said, the entire NFL will fear this defense.

The offense, on the other hand, looked suspect and out of sync. Dak had that deer in the headlights look. He was ridiculously over throwing his receivers.

Your thoughts?

This defense is SB ready. They are gang tackling, hitting hard, swarming, fast, you name it.

On the first drive Jones was gashing us with some QB runs. That got adjusted to very quickly and those plays became disasters for the Giants.

I think this post is ridiculous.

Not sure if that answers your question or not.

With the down pour rain. Not one fumble or interception. I'd actually give the offense a good grade today. I think this offense realizes they just need to not make mistakes and the Cowboys will win a lot of games.

No matter the score against the NYG, I'm not ready to say who this Dallas Cowboys team is yet.

They scored 40 points in steady rain where the starters didn’t play in preseason…..I’ll take it ten times out of ten. The offense will get better, I liked what they are trying to do scheme wise.

Neither unit we saw tonight is what they will be in every game. Don't overreact to week one.

The defense can only dream of a shutout every week, and the offensive starters didn't play in preseason. They will improve.

Enjoy it, but don't draw conclusions. There are 16 games still to play, and hopefully more.

Dallas looked better on offense than any of the other teams that played in driving rain today. The offense also looked much worse last year in week 1, and it turned out to be one of the better offenses in the league.

We’ll be fine

I think this thread should be non-GMO

The offense did everything it needed to do. Not turn over the ball, score points, manage the game in poor conditions.

This game was over at 6-0 in bad weather.

+1

I think next week at home will be a much better barometer when it comes to the offense

Agreed. Looked like Scott Linehan snuck his way back into the offensive playroom to me.

And the nonsense starts. First time in the new offense, 4 dropped passes, the offense didn’t need to do anything and it was raining.

 

[AsthmaField]

I take it the OP never played WR or QB in a downpour.

 

[plasticman]

The Cowboys offense won't be more suspect than any offense in this league when it goes up against this Cowboys defense.

The Cowboys offfense was rusty. The Giants offense was molested.

 

[GMO415]

Teams will be terrified throwing against DAL. They have some hope running on them.

 

[GMO415]

Agreed. Looked like Scott Linehan snuck his way back into the offensive playroom to me.

I understand it's the first game and DAL is implementing a new offense with absolutely no practice against an opponent. They better gel this week because a better defense will be here come Sunday.

Did you watch the game? New offense, pouring rain, first time starters played.....

I think this post is desperation attempt to try and diminish Dak after a dominant win and it’s why I can’t take haters seriously.

By my count there were 5 drops, 3 by TE’s, or 4 drops depending on how you count forgetting to get the feet in as it’s the same result, and I am not even going to be that harsh on the TEs because it was a bloody monsoon out there. Nobody could grip the ball. Therefore the drops which were by far the biggest problem on offense get a temporary pass.
