Cowboys D is a Fraud

Quinn needs to shift gears and cover up the warts in the run game. They need to stop with all the twists and movement up front. If they want to play nickel all day, they better insert 2 thumpers with speed into the 2nd level.

Tennessee is one tough football team. They are the AFC’s 49ers. The Cowboys defense has a fatal flaw in the run defense but we have the best pass rush. The Cowboys have to adjust.

They were embarrassed on Sunday in a big way. Minny will be their “statement”/pride game.

If they come out and hold Cook to under 100 yards— then we will know the flaws are fixable with simply better effort, discipline, will, and execution.

If they lay an egg on Sunday, consider the season over. Dak has called this a “playoff game” and the defensive leaders have been circling the wagons. If their effort is poor— then put a fork in em

If not for 2 INT's that resulted in 14 points Dallas could have been up 28 or 31 to 0 in the 4th. But we're not going to talk about that because it reflects negatively on Dak.

Im good talking about that...dak deserves a lot of criticism

My point though is it's not like the offense didn't put the team in position to win...a 14 point lead in the 4th is a pretty good spot to be in.

Well they’ve joined the QB in the department of being frauds. Now it’s just a matter of degrees of which Dak far excels them in this category.

And I told you guys when everybody was talking about his elite it was that there is no argument that one can claim the defense was better than last year, as last year’s was a TO machine that was contributing to a lot of our offensive scoring, even though when the defense didn’t generate a TO last year, Dak couldn’t win a game, though Rush did.

Dudes were actually comparing them to the Ravens and Tampa Bay, on the premise that those teams had bus driving QBs. And I was telling you guys those defenses were TO machines, the Ravens in particular who notched a ridiculous 60 plus TOs that season.

I think Vegas has the spread right for this game. The Cowboys and Vikings always play close. The Cowboys see an opportunity to get the number 1 seed. They will play their best game of the season.

You can take that pass rush and smoke it when we’re sitting home in the playoffs

A defense is either great or not depending on whether it can get off the field when needed

Taking one area of the defense and saying we’re great at it is useless

We have a garbage defense

I can see a Dallas W. Minny is sitting fat and sassy after their lucky W last week. They are due for a L.

Dallas is embarrassed and angry after snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and beating themselves last week.

I think the D plays better, and Dak and Co do enough damage to make Cousins have to pass and face the rush.

Dallas 27
Minny 24

Good vibes return and should we beat Minny, I think that sets us up to sweep the Giants on T Day.

Hopefully we are looking at 8-3 after Thanksgiving and get the benefit of the mini bye before making the home stretch

No, teams have found our weakness. The 49ers got smoked a few weeks ago and the Eagles gave up 30 to Washington at home. No team is perfect. I trust Quinn the defense will figure it out.

I hope you are right. The schedule is set up perfectly to win the East.
