I disagree. the defense played well. they stopped them twice inside of our 20. game was 7-6 cowboys...the offense went punt, punt, punt, punt the next 4 possessions.... we had 4, 3, 9, 3 plays in those possessions.....he was 1-9 on 3rd down conversion....we had the ball about 6 minutes in those 4 possessions..... that's about half the game.... in the mean time they scored two TD in their 4 possessions.
this was going to be an offensive game and everyone thought that going in...we had to score some points....against a top 5 offense and top 5 scoring offense in the league...you want to blame the defense, its exactly the narrative I have said...its always somebody else' fault. not dak.
fact is he was 1-9 on 3rd down conversions...convert some of those and keep drives alive...keep the defense off the field.
and there are times a part of the game doesn't work...that's the time to pick it up...against NO, we scored 13 points...defense stepped up, saved the day and kept NO to 10 points.... but hey, blame the defense for the loss, give credit to Dak for the win...which you have done.
