Cowboys D is a Fraud

[nate dizzle]

It's so weird watching so many trying desperately to blame one or the other when they both stunk in the 4th.

I don't get why it has to be an either/or instead of both.

Cowboys weak defense isn’t physical and needs to stop using tweeners to play DL.

Tweeners, 3 techs, stiffies, and JAGs. That's what Jerry fills the DLine w/ because he has no comprehension of NFL football.

Didn't both teams play Sunday? I think Tannehill is an average bus driver of a qb.

Tennehil is a great bus driver. He is a guy that if you give him plenty of time, he can really hurt you. But hes not a guy that does great under any kind of pressure. He is a guy I would say is in the average range. Which still isnt bad if you dont have other options.

 

[kskboys]

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.

Yes, we've already had this discussion. And at the end of the day, Dak has to move the ball in the 4th. Our O and D both blew major chunks in the 4th.

TENN DLine is one of the best in the business. Tanny drove the bus very nicely, because that is what he is, a nice bus driver.

Agree.

The defense isn't going to play 17 straight games of lights out football. Bums!

 

[Cowboys1966]

We have a good D. Not as good as how we looked at the start of the season, but not bad at all. Probably top 10.

28 points and up 14 going into the 4th should be enough. Yah, it would be great of we could have scored one more time. The Offense isnt fully off the hook. But it was the D that was the worst culprit for this team. Micah new it.

 

[McKDaddy]

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.

Oh, I remember it well. I was a kid but it was a big deal in rural, working man 'Merica. Chevy trucks that the paint would just start peeling off after like 6 mths and their response was "yeah, that's just the way it is". Hook anything to the bumper & it would just bend and\or swivel down. Transmissions would catch on fire if you worked them hard towing. It was an absolute disgrace. Just a precursor to what we have today. Charge a premium price for crappy product and ignore you if you complain. Hey, it's also just like this organization!!

 

[Captain-Crash]

hum, i didn't go back and look up the stats, but how long was the defense on the field?

 

[Redsfan_83]

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.

I have the 1.5T and in tests it gets to that in something like 7.3, lol. The 2.0's don't come close though

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.

Gap integrity is the problem with the D as explained by Baldy and others. I.E.....holes big enough for trucks to drive through or misdirection due to overflow the wrong way. Love the "whole team" concept when the D was questioned.

Listen, you can choose to look at it however you want. I look at it as the offense failed in the 1st and 4th quarters and had 2 turnovers that led to 14 points, as much as the defense failed in the 3rd and 4th. They both played a sloppy game and they got beat. You want to blame one side and not the other, that's your prerogative.

Listen too....I will, you do, I will again. I'm good.

Not score, but sustain drives, which is what Dak didn't do. It was both, Roy.

Micah was playing hurt due to playing out of position all year. Not on him, it's on Jerry for building yet another DLine of JAGs.

 

[Captain43Crash]

Titans are a physical team. We are a talkative team.

So true!

 

[john van brocklin]

I think the team expects the offense to be more consistent. As much as the defense failed us, the offense turned the ball over in the Redzone and could not get any first downs in the 4th quarter against the Packers. When we were up 28-14 I was thinking all we need was a few first downs and a field goal we win. We got neither.

Good point

 

[nalam]

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.

Even after all that , we were up-by 14 end of 3rd Q. I was one of those , who didnt believe we could give up 14 points in 1 Q and tied the game . I had better hopes for our D and DC.

I am not calling them Fraud, but definitely they are very far from Doomstay.

 

[Loso86]

56 yards of rushing for the Pack last night.

Sure

 

[baltcowboy]

Good point

On a side note. We have to play Tennessee in Nashville on a Thursday night after the Eagles game on Christmas Eve.
