This is where the head coach should come into play. Big Mike needs to be able to overcome this bump in the road. Head coaches are essentially the bridge between the two. He is supposed to make sure the team is in symphony. I’m hoping he can come through with this.


It’s always one side or the other that plays bad. Just like last year, we had games where the offense was great but the defense was terrible, and we had games where the defense was good enough to win but the offense was absolutely off. I don’t understand why this team can’t just play in harmony for once. The Rams game last year was a great example of a team harmonically playing but we rarely play like that.

Yeah, going back to 2018. Maybe it's better this way. If our expectations are low, we can only be pleasantly surprised, like in 2014.

Dallas seems to be ok when they jump out in front and dominate early. When they're challenged, they fold. You can tell our opponents want it more and it shows late in the 4th. That's what I've noticed since last season.

New HC. He shouldn't be tired to whatever happened prior to him. That's something totally out of his control.

Including the playoffs. Absolutely can not count on this defense at all.

This team never fully puts it together for any length of time. One of the units seems to suck and will cause us to lose.


While this is true not all of these loses are on defense. In 5 of those loses they gave up 20 points or less. And really last year we gave up less than 16 points in 4 losses. This offense has had it's issues vs good defenses.

If offense is your calling card they have to perform. The thing is we've had awesome offenses for a lot of the last 10 years, but that wasn't enough. Unfortunately a lot of our high defensive picks haven't quite worked out as planned.

Weird stat cause this past week 21 points would of been enough. Using 30 makes it sound like the defense is giving up high 20 point games repeatedly.

It is a weird stat, but not one we see often. I think if nothing else it points to not being able to win close games. Dallas just wins blowouts.

Similar to the 2000 Rams. They went the entire season all the way to the final week not winning a single game they scored under 30.

Talk about a random, TOTALLY MEANINGLESS stat
:lmao:

For example.....
So losing 20-17 last week counts as one of those 10 games?

Losing games last year with scores of
12-10
13-9
17-9

They all count in the 10 too?
Seriously?

Give me a freaking break!

You've made a simple but poetic statement here and I agree! Our whole organization, from the owner to the coaches to the players have been inconsistent.
It's almost like the team is snake-bit and has been for a very long time. If the Defense has a stellar day, the offensive line struggles, or Dak is off.
Sometimes Dak is fabulous and the offense can score at will but the defense folds. Close games we struggle, but I just can't put that all on prescott considering
all of our other issues. I'm going to give Big Mike a pass because of covid and the limited off season, but I expect to see him getting things fixed around here
so progress is shown. Unfortunately as much as I love Big Mike, I'm not a fan at the lack of creativity in our offense, and I'm worried about our oline. If dak has no
pass protection he or no other QB in this league is going to look good. These receivers need to catch the football as well in crucial moments.

What a horrible thread


Op blames the defense but fails to bring up that the defense had held the opposing team to 17,17,13, & 10
In some of those games :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:


Sounds like we can Absolutely NOT count on the Quarterback :lmao::lmao::lmao:

You could actually FLIP this theme and it'd be FAR more telling.

In Dallas' last 20 regular season losses, the opponent has scored over 30 points just 2 times.
