The defense definitely needs to improve, but consider this ..

The Cowboys outscored the Falcons 40-19 over the last 3 quarters and the offense turned the ball over three times in the first quarter on their own half of the field and the defense held them to field goals on two of those turnovers.

I know we are all excited about an amazingly clutch victory, riding on the back of Bones’ Special Teams, but I have to point out that I came into this game excited to see what our pass rushers were going to do to a pocket passer like Matt Ryan. And they basically did nothing.

At least that was my take away, although I was seeing red for a good portion of the game. So help me out Cowboys Nation. What did you see? Do you agree? Are these pass rushers overrated? I didn’t feel like Matt Ryan was making quick passes like Goff last week. We just weren’t getting to him. Give me your two cents!

If things continue like this for the D, Nolan does not make it past Columbus Day.

It is horrific but expected. Lack of talent handed over to a very mediocre coordinator. I think McCarthy hired him simply because he knew he wouldn't eat that much pizza.

Between him and Fassel that's like 4 extra slices.

Defense has a long way to go, very long. No pass rush whats over. Was Ryan even touched today. It does not seem like it.

Pretty sure you were disrespecting Dak in the game thread. I'll let it slide this time.
