Cowboys D is a Fraud

Since we're doing comps..

Dak 59%, 265 yards, 3 td, 2 int, 78.6 qbr

Tannehill 81% 333 yds, 2 td, 1 int 126 qbr

Fun.

Tannehill is somewhat limited but very smart, knows how to read a defense at least and he doesn't hear foot steps in a clean pocket.

We need smart decisions by Dak Prescott, protect the football, play with confidence and be a good bus driver

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


So you want to force Cousins to pass....to Jefferson...against the Dallas secondary? Well if that isn't a winning formula lol

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.
That second pick was on Dak. I was pissed. That was 3 easy. 31-14 they don’t come back from. Gloves are off and I protect nobody or defend nobody on this team.

They ran Elliots legs off these 6 years. He still is effective but needs to be used to hammer.

Pollard is good to get longer runs. He is the nail.

Dak is good in the run first formula. Run the damn ball and play action. Nothing wrong with Dak when he is used that way. He can get away with some passing games. But he can’t do it consistently.

Moore is calling the Offense. He calls 3-4 good games following the formula. Then at the wrong time he decides to get pass happy. Needs to be his last year here. If he sticks with the formula in the playoff games we would win.

Quinn runs the Defense. Stop being cute. Teams are catching you stunting and running through the gaps. Reminds me of the rams playoff game. Before they were running off the edges in us. Stop stunting and cover the edges.

Angry??:facepalm:

This team and this defense has been punched in the mouth, called out, and beaten like a rented mule for years by many bent teams

All they do is talk

I fully expect them to lay an egg against MN but even if they show up this week they’ll be back to crap next week

56 yards of rushing for the Pack last night.

- It's no secret. The issue is easily US... we haven't fix the run defense for years and still going thru DC's that haven't fix the issue.

- You cannot win playoffs with this kind of softies ..the last two playoff exits we did have ..were due to a failure to stop the run

- Flipside is .. We still are among the tops in collecting sacks ..but it seems like the number of turnovers may be down vs last year.

- In a move where we were supposed to get more " physical" we're even less than that - and the whole NFL world knows and lickin' their chops !... :oops:

Well the idea would be the NFL’s top sack D would get there before the pass to Jefferson would leave the QBs hand.

And yes. That would be a winning formula— IF the D mans up and stops the run.

We don’t know what they are gonna do vs Minny— but Vegas seems pretty confident in what’s going to happen.

This team’s season is not defined by the debacle at GB. It will be defined by what they do between now and the end of the reg season. Nothing is guaranteed— including Dallas “laying an egg” on Sun as you suggest.

We will see how they respond and then evaluate accordingly

On paper and logically the Titans will cave in this defense like a blown out…….

Did the OP just tell us our run defense isn't good? Like when I say a Honda Civic isn't super fast. Yeah, we know.

The Civic isn’t fast but it’s extremely efficient….I think of our defense as more of a 1987 Yugo. Or maybe one of those crappy K cars Chrysler put out

I should have know this was coming this morning.

Dog, it part of critical thinking to compare performances of an opponent, from only 4 days ago. It’s thinking logically and although there are no absolutes, their is plenty of empirical evidence to be utilized.

i love it when you homers pretend like no one knows the history of this team and these players. That somehow every game starts a new season LOL

“but but but we don’t KNOW”

stars in the eyes
Lollipops and rainbows and unicorns

Yeah, no one KNOWS because no one knows the future but these players and this team is who they are. They have been here for years, they’re not rookies

they are talkers
They’ve shown this again and again and again

We’ve got a mediocre team
Playoffs are possible but more one and done

Play good defense and pound the rock with a power back has been working for them for years. We may need to replace Kellen Moore with Scott Linehan. Linehan did orchestrate our 13-3 finish in 2016 using a similar formula.

Efficient doesn't win races. That's the point.

LOL the Yugo!!! That was an absolute piece of trash for $2, 999 when it first came out. And it wasn't even worth that much. You were getting robbed!!! It probably cost them 50 bucks and a bag of peanuts to build that car.

LOL, does it really do 0-60 in 7? That's actually pretty quick. Not super quick, but much quicker than I thought. I'm in my 50s, I'm remembering the 80s/90s Civic.
