What has happened to the defense?

You speak as if I placed all the blame on him. All I said was that he contributed. He did. The Cowboys offense sucked in their final drive. They lucked out by the Jets interference calls. Dak's decision making on a few plays were poor, just as his decision making on the 2 point conversion was poor.

He's by far not the main problem, but he didn't help all that much either. Dude's a warrior though and keeps fighting. He did help bring them back to try to win.

Thats fair, although the last play he didn't have any time whatsoever to make a decision. He had to get rid of the ball immediately after the snap didnt he?

Stop trying to derail the blame to the defense! Can't win when you're kicking FG all game long!

Giving up a 92 yard bomb after being stopped on 4th down was a huge play. Just like that it's 14-3.

I agree about too many FGs. Plenty of blame to go around today, unfortunately.

I SAW THIS LOSS COMING. Looking at the trends and how we struggle on D...and how we start slowly. The jets took advantage of the poor start and coaching.

WE DID MORE THAN ENOUGH ON OFFENSE TO WIN, THE D put Dak in a bind.

Sure, the D sucked in the first half, but they held the Jets in the second half. The offense sucking it up for 3 quarters contributed just as much as the D. Stop making excuses. They all sucked. Every single aspect of the game.

elephant in the room. WHY ISNT LEWIS STARTING? He proved he's a baller again. Gets limited reps and finds the ball. YET gets little PT.

we lost the game in the first half. Cant expect to win digging holes like that defensively.

We are all so high on this team mainly because of the defense, at least I was. The offense I expected to be good but not great. The defense was supposed to be our calling card and it is not the dominant unit we saw at points last year. So what happened fellas?

Needs a true NT, @xwalker how many times Darnold scrambled up the middle on crucial downs?

Again, the offense didn't help. If they had scored more than 2 field goals.... Takes a team to win and a team to lose. The team collectively lost.

Why do some people insist on excusing one or the other side of the ball when the entire team sucked? Nobody gets a pass. How hard is that to fathom?

Connor Williams has been getting a pass for 6 games straight, when will mediocre players will be held accountable?

It was hard for me to keep track between expletives, but did LVE get removed from this game?

How do you regress so badly in this short amount of time?

They all truly had a hand in this debacle.
