So in 1 game Dlaw amassed a whopping 2 tackles, 1 solo, 1 assist, .5 tackle for loss and a .5 sack. lol. Mack had 5 tackles, 5 solo tackles, 1 tackle for loss. Yeah, not as good.

Neither guy is lighting it up, but we're two freakin' games into the season crying out loud. Lawrence didn't have a Pre-season. Let's give him another game or two before we all proclaim that the sky is falling.

Stop the name calling.

If you are too stupid to interpret the meaning of DL accurately I don’t know what to say.

Are you too stupid to know when you look like the typical whiny "see you next Tuesday" fan?

:laugh:

Run along now, *****, now you're just boring.

Another good win. The offense lead the way, again. I am not happy at all about the Pass rush. Almost non existent. Crawford is just a waste. He can’t play DE at all. Collins? Haven’t seen much from him. How bad can Hill and Taco be? Quinn is going to be a huge upgrade and I am hoping Gregory can resurface.

Thoughts?

Some of tried to warn about the Dline during the offseason. Of course, some people got offended. Reality always hits when the season starts.

I hope Dlaw is still not at 100%. Otherwise, it’s time to worry.

And Jaylon is late on almost every play.

in the meantime, Gregory might be high as a kite right now..

This isn't even remotely accurate. He got some good pressures today.

two tackles, 1/2 of a sack, a fumble recovery, and 2 hits. This is going against the donald penn and ereck flowers of the world.

This DL was not that great last year and its the same guys. Of course we heard about how much Maliek Collins has improved and that it will be his breakout year. But of course preseason means absolutely nothing. The bigger disappointment has been the LBs, Honestly, after last season everyone thought they would be much better having another season under their belts. But that has not been the case at all.

If have been saying it for years but until they get a dominant DT and a safety their defense will never be elite. The question is now, it is good enough given how good the offense has looked?

Funny you called out crawford crd collins who happen to be the only 2 DL who did anything tonight.

Why is hyder playing over hill or taco? All armstrong has done is draw a flag. I expected more from covington too. These guys have got to step up.

Dallas held the Commanders to 47 yards rushing today.

Through two games they have held the Giants and Commanders to a combined 4 of 20 on third downs.

We can complain about the lack of sacks and turnovers, but the defense hasn't been as bad as some of my fellow fans seem to think.

It’s interesting to see where people put their loyalties. Smith is getting ripped for a bad game but apparently LVE was awesome.

In reality, I think our LB play has been “ehhh” all year.

It hasn’t been great.

As it should. Want to be paid like the best you need to play like the best which he isn't

of course he won't respond. he's the idiot who refused surgery asap so if he's not right its all on him. dude is too focused on posing for pics in his ugly suits. I know when I was upgraded at my job I made sure I kept improving trying to be the best even if i wasnt i would keep working at it. I would never want to be viewed as quitting or getting lazy after " I made it" I guess that is the difference between someone with pride and someone without.

Front 7 has only played together as a unit for two weeks. DLaw injured.in camp, crawford injured in camp, LVE injured in camp, quinn suspended. They won't hit their stride until 4 games mark.

DLaw is the only threat on the DL and offense game.plan for him. The more others show the better it is for DLaw until then he will see double teams, chips, and TE.

The Giants only gave up 1 sack to the Bills today. The Bills had 4 sacks in their opener.

Bob-Lillys-War · Sep 15, 2019

We already gave 21 million to D-Law , don't have much cap space to improve the d-line now .

Demarcus Lawrence probably saved a TD on this play:

khalil mack is so overrated. If you are THAT good how do you let your team lose to a backup qb in the playoffs. Hes good and all I see him get triple teamed and still get pressure but lets start seeing people accomplish something before deeming them all time greats.

A little bit of what Gregory is smoking could ease some tensions on this thread.

Pokes win. Let’s enjoy

Agreed.

They gave up what? 255 yards today.

SMH.
