Our D has allowed an average of 33 ppg; It is unsustainable

[GimmeTheBall!]

33 ppg.
What this means is our offence has to put up an average of 34 points each game to win.

No offence should work under this pressure.

Eberflus must go! His secondary coaches must go!
Our D reeks!
To wit:
164 yards rushing by the Pack?!?!
337 receiver yards by the Pack?!?!

I am Dak's biggest critic, but the lad deserves a break from our defence. He should not have an uphill battle of scoring at least 34 points a game.
Our anemic defence will keep us out of the playoffs!

Ravens are worse, giving up 33.3 ppg. Who saw that coming? What is the Ravens excuse? Bad GM?

Cowboys offense is 5th at 28.5 ppg.

The Ravens D coordinator is on the same level as 2025 Matt Eberflus and their issue going forward is injuries

They have key injuries on all 3 levels of defense so they DC better figure something out especially if Rush is starting multiple weeks because he cant win a shootout

Watching Browning yesterday I don’t know how him and Cooper can survive lobbing the football up like that. One of those teams needs to call Giants for Russ or Jameis.

The Ravens played the Bills, Lions and KC. We getting slapped by the Giants and Bears.

 

[John813]

Hopefully the bleeding can stop soon.
Diggs is playing, Bland is back.

Not sure what's the details on Hooker, but just got to hope with the 2 boundary guys back and slowly getting healthier we can have more consistency/confidence as the weeks go on.
Just not sure we'll ever have a consistent pass rush to force more ill advised passes.

Good points. However, I think the Giants and Bears are going to turn out to be pretty decent teams this year. Plus, I don't think KC's offense is all that this year.

 

[Captain-Crash]

naw, I think they can sustain it.

 

[charron]

I'm pretty sure they will sustain giving up 33+ points a game all year.

Overshown, coming back that should help the linebackers the young kid from Notre Dame. He had a bad penalty that hurt us. But that’s youth. We can stop the run we never could before. This past rush will get better as they learn each other’s moves. This is a very, very young football team.

Jackson dart is going to help the Giants

I didn't know Lamar Jackson got hurt. I only follow the Cowboys. Cooper rush was 9-13 for 52 yards.

Ravens have lost like 6 starters on D.

 

[kskboys]

I don't think so, I think we can keep giving up that many points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nah, Cincy needs a major talent infusion, losing out this year could give them some nice high draft picks to work w/. The opposite, they should consider trading off some talent that is coming up to contract time.

replacing Eberflus is not going to fix this defense. is he a contributor? yes, but our LBs suck. awful. teams are just picking them apart and once RB gets into second level, they gain major yards. they are giving up a ton. the safties really suck. often make wrong choice, take wrong angles and are nowhere to be found, and direct result of a lot of these deep passes teams have completed against us. both Bland and Diggs are playing bad. bad technique and out of position often. two of the largest contracts on defense. the DEs don't create pressure, so QBs, just sit, roam the field and move around until WRs are open. we are still suspect to the swing pass. because our pass rush sucks. there is only one player on this defense that would play or start on any contending team. this defense is void of talent. did I mention Safties and LBs?

both of those guys are playing pretty bad.

No magic wand will help. If players aren't willing and able or locked in, you have no chance. Regardless of talent.

So, injuries are a valid excuse for other teams but never a valid excuse for the Cowboys. Is that how this works? The Cowboys had 3 starters out on offense (2 1st round picks and a 3rd round pick). There are no built-in excuses for the Cowboys GM or coaches.

Seems like many here (not necessarily you) blame Cowboy injuries on the GM first, coaches second, and then a little on the trainer. Remember it was the GM who hired the coaches and trainer so blame goes back to the GM. Obviously the GM did not properly anticipate and did not draft the right positions and players.

A real GM would have depth at 2 to 3 levels at every position. A real GM would be wheeling and dealing draft picks and players to fill gaps. Right?

Are you still sticking with injuries as an excuse as to why the ravens defense stinks so far?
