I do think the offense's limitations will catch up to them.

The defense/ST can't sustain this level of play forever.

Have to create a more balanced contribution

It can't. Cincinnatti is a mess on offense. NYG have nobody named anything other than Daniel Jones or Saquon Barkley. Wentz is Carson Wentz. The Rams offense has been a mess all year.

The defense is REALLY good, but the defense has been playing horrible offenses. This week (Philly) is their first REAL test.

It most definitely will catch up to them. Just have to pray to the Great Tiki God, keep your fingers crossed, win a pinkie wrestle that when Dak comes back he comes back firing on all 12 cylinders. With this defense and a good Dak we will be formidable.

In all fairness.

Who has Philly played? Lol they haven’t faced a defense like this either. I hate when people say well who have we played but then forget who Philly has played. Stephen a does it and it’s so annoying

Have we been playing the 1999 Rams offense? No. But I think the Cowboys defense deserves some of the credit for making those offenses look bad.

I agree with you a bit but I also think this board will continue to move the post to help the agenda. The Cowboys defense has completely shut down all those mentioned teams. If we beat the Eagles there will no doubt be another excuse on why it happened.

Brady recently said there was a lot of bad football being played. Honestly, with the exception Bills and Eagles, most offenses and a lot of QBs are struggling to find their groove. Honestly, I think defenses have caught up with these so-called explosive offenses. Here are Joe Burrow's comments from Sunday's loss

https://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/what-bengals-said-after-losing-ravens-week-5

(on making the decision to check it down versus go for an explosive play) "It just depends what the defense is giving us. If teams are going to play us like that, then that's what we have to do. There's just nothing down the field if teams are going to play us like they did today."

If we had Josh Allen we would be Super Bowl favorites with this defense. This kind of defense wins Championships with a little bit of offensive help, more offensive help than yesterday obviously.

I guess it’s time to breakout the Super Bowl shuffle than. ;)

The Cowboys only had 10 first downs yesterday and reached the redzone only twice and still won by 12 points. That’s the first time they’ve won a game with 10 first downs or fewer since 1970. I believe we’ve only given up 5 TDs all season which is the first time we’ve done that since 1972. We’re not going to be able to sustain much longer scoring only one TD per game and relying on our defense to score and hold opponents to one TD per game. Our defense currently has 20 sacks which is the most they’ve had at this stage of the season in over 30 years. None of our great 90s teams that had Charles Haley had this many sacks after the first five games. Even the great 85 Bears got dissected by a terrific passing attack and sooner or later it’s going to happen to the Cowboys. We can’t bank on our defense playing lights out every single week and Brett Maher nailing every kick.

Bottom line is we have probably played 4 of the worst Olines in football the first 5 weeks. Bengals, Rams, Skins, Bucs. Next week will be a big test.

In fairness, unless you have played Buffalo, no one has played a top offense because no one has a top offense. Philly yesterday got of to a hot start and then struggled to get 3 more points the rest of the day.

You know what’s great?

The nervous energy from the Anti-Dak Cult Members right now.

Our defense is built to win BIG with even a decent offense and a decent QB.

Even the most brain-dead Anti-Dakker says Dak is “average”.

Okay... then that still means he’s good enough to win BIG with this defense.

That’s the real reason why they’re TERRIFIED of what might happen when Dak comes back.

“NOOOO, PLEAAASE keep Cooper Rush in, even when Dak is 100% healthy!!!”
