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.
But can we address the D? But since you bring up Tannehill.....kudos for highs in Tannehill's game.....and as we want Dak to be all/do all.....bet Tannehill reverts back to his norm soon. Fun.

The last 2 weeks the defence got shredded. Last week they got destroyed coming off a bye.

Here is the difference between Kansas City…KC has great coaching. I’m pretty sure Andy Reid would game plan for Mahommes absence? Did Quinn game plan for Parsons playing off the line? Sure did not look it?

And to me that’s the biggest problem with this team. Take Parsons away from D and our coaches have no ability to scheme around that…
true dallas has sub par coaching and that is on jones, but also dan has done a good job
except ins the run area, but we know jones boys wont get big DT's
he has to work with what he has.

about parsons, parsons has been beat up , sick, and he looks like he put on too much weight.
When phil ran at him and didnt even block him, that exposed a way to deal with parsons.

56 yards of rushing for the Pack last night.
It means nothing. Let me try to explain it. They run on us because they know we’re going after the quarterback first. We figure eventually they’re going to get tired of running and go back to the pass and will destroy them. Just like Green Bay did late in the fourth quarter he gave up on the run and almost lost the game that’s why Aaron Rodgers was so upset. We’re not a fraud we just need to change the scheme

I would say that at this point the Cowboys D is definitely not what it looked like it was in the beginning of the year. They got too amped up on pass rushing. Oddly, I would have thought that the D would have had a easier time with Dak at QB. Cowboys scoring more points, which would allow them to Tee off on the QB more.

Or rather, our lack of talent at DT has been exposed in a major way. The willynilly pass rush was merely hiding the warts.

Dak is a big play QB. Problem w/ that is that those big plays gas the D, and is too easy to shut down at times. Someone needs to teach him how to play QB. He's got the big plays down, he needs to learn how to dink and dunk, which is needed at times. It's not just about scoring more points, that's FF stuff. There's a ton more to it than that.

It was like we were still using wagons compared to what the Japanese were doing.

We put out the cheapest crap at the lowest cost. They couldn't care less about us. The Japanese actually saved the day and made the American car manufacturers up their game. It was really disgraceful.

I think Buick and Oldsmobile were the only two that put out some quality products at the time. And that's relatively speaking. Because anything Chevy, Pontiac, and Ford were complete garbage. Even the Corvettes were an embarrassment.

Its never apples to apples. The Packers D barely showed up last night. 2 games in 5 days. Tannehil had all day to throw the ball. He was sitting back there just hanging out, making throws. Wasnt that way in our game.

I like Tannehil, but he doesnt have games like that often.
Didn't both teams play Sunday? I think Tannehill is an average bus driver of a qb.

Hes not Rogers or Mahomes or Allen. Thats just the reality. But he is better than most QB's. At the end of the Day your D still has to show up.

Titans scored 27 points last night and they won. Cowboys score 28 and they lose to GB. Defense was the difference.

Everyone is going to praise Tennehil, but it was the D that won them the game. Held Rogers down to 17 points and Aaron Jones had 47 yards rushing.

I've addressed the defense numerous times. The whole team collapsed in the 4th quarter...offense and defense both played for about half a game. Usually isn't going to get it done.
