We didn't "play better" when Lee was in. We got dominated by the Broncos.

Also, our run defense wasn't exactly what I call stout today.

You're cherry picking the Broncos game which was an absolute avalanche. Are you arguing that we're not a better defense with Lee in the line up? That's absurd. True we were gashed in the run game somewhat but it was more "bend don't break" as we tightened up on every drive. All I'm saying is IMPROVEMENT. That's all.

I'm arguing our D isn't GOOD with Lee in the lineup. It is still bad.

And please stop with the "bend but don't break" excuse - it breaks even with Lee in and DID. Even in the first half against the Cards, we were breaking. It took Lawrence having a career game for us to slow them down.

Lol, cheap excuses. You only want to count the plays that don't make him look bad.

Yes, all QBs have dropped ints. All QBs have tipped balls through the wrs hands as well.

LOL at yourself.

The rate that WR's have passes go thru their hands and end up being intercepted is way less than the dropped INT's from defenders.

And even if you want to stop the 'excuses', he's on pace for a whopping 10 INT"s this season and 3 fumbles.

Why are you even arguing? We all know our D is bad, genius.

Maybe go back and watch the first 5 games.
Nope, you made the initial claim. Post 2-3 probable interceptions per game. I will admit Dak had accuracy issues early on but this idea that DBs drop more of his passes than other QBs is......... hyperbole.

Maybe you want to look at the arguments here stating otherwise? Since I am saying this D isn't good enough to stop high powered offenses, "genius".

If everyone "agreed" with this, they wouldn't be so confident with the upcoming schedule, now would they, "genius"?

NEXT!

Ok, so maybe you're not a genius. I was trying to pay you a compliment

My apologies. After further review, you're not a genius. I see you can't even upload an avatar. Lol

Dak isn't the reason this team is 3-3 right now instead of 5-1.

The defense blowing 4th quarter leads is why this team is 3-3 instead of 5-1.

Dak did his job in both losses to the Packers and the Rams. He did his job today, too.

Get the defense to play better and a lot of what ails this team is fixed.

Notice this thread started about our 'slumping QB' is now talking about our defense.

Proving my point.

You could have put this all in one post.

And an avatar attack, really? These are the ad-homs we are going with now?

What are his stats against good defenses?

Not really. They average out to a slightly below-average defense, and the Cowboys far exceded what those teams normally give up.

Last 4 opponents
points allowed per drive
vs. rest of NFL 1.96
NFL avg 1.86
vs. Dallas 3.27

Cardinals' points allowed per drive
2.26 vs other teams
2.55 vs. Dallas

Rams' points allowed per drive
1.50 vs other teams
3.10 vs. Dallas

Packers' points allowed per drive
1.87 vs. other teams
3.44 vs. Dallas

9ers' points allowed per drive
2.19 vs. other teams
4.00 vs. Dallas

Really short sample size obviously applies here, opponents struggling regardless of your defensive play make a big difference with how few games have happened. E.g., you can pick out 1/3 of Dallas games so far where they've given up 10 or fewer points, nobody's calling them a slightly below average defense.

You've devolved into a caricature at this point. You should step back, take a few deep breaths, and consider your presence here. You were a good poster before but you've allowed this Dak vendetta to cloud your vision so much that you've removed your joy from the equation and now seem to only watch games with your wheel spinning looking for the next opportunity to grind that axe.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: mattjames is a troll. Always has been, always will be.
