A lot of things went wrong but this is on the run defense

The one gap system has never been good at stopping the run. Teams that deploy that scheme expect to be playing with the lead. We have all of these players that fit the one gap system, so we couldn't change of we wanted too. Sucks to be us.

Run defense will be the achilles heel of this team in the playoffs let alone the regular season. Has been and will continue to be until JJ does something about it

Also didn't help Dak giving away 14 points

It just sucked, it was a total team loss. And that’s the worst kind. No excuses, no blaming. Just sucked

Yep, that’s the blueprint. Run it down their throats and negate the pass rush.

It wasn't even a running qb today either. Quinn is stubborn with his use of his "pass rushers". I get having a good rotation is what you want. but you need to stop the run as well.

A serious issue that’s lots of people have been downplaying. Teams run at will on the defense, at the beginning, the middle, and the end of games.
How in the world did you miss our 40 mill QB sucking balls after we were up 28=14? I mean, if you were drunk and fell asleep, I understand.

This loss was on Dak, plain and simple. He was given chance after chance and crapped the bed. Even the Dak fans saw this, no way they didn't.

We scored 28 points, which is enough. How many have they been averaging to score 31 on us? And, how many penalties did the refs call on that last drive? You can only overcome so much.

That D will not travel in January, except to go clean out their lockers and pack up for the year.
We can’t even assume we’ll get into the playoffs at this point. Lose next week and we’re fighting for our lives already.
