most were garbage points and yards, you dont recognize when a team is up so far go into prevent type deal..
you know dak and our offense lived on those late meaningless points last year before he got injured, we were never truly in most of those games and hung few late meaningless points on the board.
.. if you look at the part of the game where the game was in jeopardy the defense has played very well..
sometimes you sacrifice a few scores and pull players out, get little soft to make drives longer and let them eat clock.
i know fans were happy but the Carolina and philly game those late scores were meaningless and we stopped going all out ie prevent defense..it happens..
when the games were actually competitive and still up for grabs our defense held up fine..
please all of you stop looking at stats and rankings the Ws are all that counts and we witnessed when the games were on the line they played well. a lot of garage scores were given up..
lets split the difference between TOs and actual defense rankings and say we are 15th
we said all last year, off season and Pre-season this year IF in one offseason Quinn could get us to around average we should go far this season..
he delivered, now we are moving the goal post. stop being selfish. That was a straight mess , a nightmare last year and can not be full fixed into top 10 suffocating defense in one offseason
chill the heck out!!
on side note we have players coming back and many were out early on like Wilson etc
