Since Week 3, the D has allowed every opponent to score on their opening drive

Seriously Dan Quinn?

• Cardinals - 3 points
• Patriots - 3 points
• 49ers - 7 points
• Chargers - 7 points

It feels like every other team is way better at getting a game script for their first drive and executing it and we just look lost but try to adjust to whatever other teams are doing.

..or you can say.

It takes Dallas defense a series or two, to find its groove.

Yup.....it always seems it takes them a drive to dial in on the opponents offense before the make necessary adjustments and lock down.

Nah they're just trying to jump start the Offense by giving them a kick in the pants.

 

[ATXSRT]

It's because of losing Diggs honestly. Trickles down.

Somehow I feel we have to find a way to blame that on McCarthy, Dak and the offense.

Yep slow start on offense and now in defense too, we are not an elite team which can overcome slow starts.

 

[Creeper]

And remember, the Giants got down inside the red zone on their opening drive too. The only reason they didn't score is because of a turnover.

is this a big deal?

Right, once teams use up their first 15 scripted plays the defense has been stifling outside of Frisco… be interesting to see what it’s like w/o all the penalties!

I thought this was obvious.

We can.....with the D slow start, coupled with the three and outs by the offense puts this team behind the 8 ball pretty quickly. And it's a dogfight after that which creates panic, chaos and confusion..with lots of trips to the bathroom. It's the offense fault.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

That changes this week, but due to the curse of the monkey’s paw, they’ll give up a score on every drive thereafter.

Its a great tradition

Keep it up boys

 

[big dog cowboy]

is this a big deal?

Yes because this defense was built to play with the lead.

 

[Ranching]

is this a big deal?

No....just stirring the pot....or redirecting the stirring. Lol

 

[Redsfan_83]

I think this is the case for the last 5 years

 

[Ranching]

What?? Our defense attacks and takes chances. That's not how you gameplan to play with a lead.....

 

[noshame]

It's not how you start it's how you finish.
How many opening drives has the offense scored?
