Shannon Sharpe nailed it

Run defense bad. I did not need Sharpe to note this (started the show with it) however it is clear that we are not going to the super bowl with this, Everyone here can pick and choose what it is they think is the problem or evade the problem altogether but it is staring them in the face and I have been correct all along. Fix that and we have a number one defense in the NFL. Don't fix it and we are sitting for the playoffs.

And the problem is magnified by an offense that will struggle to score and maybe not even score against better defenses. Middle of the pack Dak will not be able to outscore good running teams. It is that simple. Fix the run defense and maybe we have a slight chance.

Dak and the Cowboys actually just outscored the top running team in the NFL

How many teams will run the ball against us 43 times?

Strong running teams don't scare me....good defenses scare me. And they only scare me because of Moore.

Did our run defense cost us against the 49er or was it our offensive line breakdowns. Was the loss to Tampa because of our run defense or because we only scored three points. Was the loss to Philadelphia was because of our run defense or because we turned the ball over three times.:huh:

Did youhappen to see the Packers destroy the Bills last night on the ground to the tune of 208 yards? Bet you wouldnt say they have no shot at a SB this year though, would you?

Maybe YOU should start preparing for next year then. Many of us know that it is a long season and anything can happen.

If you're going to have one flaw on offense or defense, run defense is the best choice.

If this offense plays to it's potential teams aren't going to run their way to outscoring us.

I know those are some big IFs.

Plays to its potential? It never happens in big games and thats the problem. We dont have the scoring power in big games.

We know what happens in the playoffs if you cannot stop the run. The niners showed us that last year.

They better figure out or the post season will be yet again a short one.

Well since we have not seen this offense with this defense in a big game, should we not see it to down it yet? and again you said the offense couldnt keep up with a good rushing team when they just beat the best rushing team with 49 points....
