Cowboys D is a Fraud

[john van brocklin]

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

Ouch!

 

[baltcowboy]

Ouch!

I actually think the Eagles can lose 4 games but I don’t see a way we beat Tennessee in Nashville.

Truth

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.

and yet they averaged what 3.4 YPC in rushing with Henry?? RT actually threw it a lot..i mean we were carving that GB d up especially on the ground, so we are something to contend with as well.. how come we ran it more than effectively and they didn't?

answer, its week to week league. those already looking ahead to our titans game is getting WAY to far ahead. Lets keep it in MN..lets see how we play and go from there.

Brother we could win running the football with Zeke/Pollard and using play action passes to CeeDee. I just think Jerry wants Showtime. The difference between the way the Titans and us playing the Packers was the 4th quarter. They shut down Green Bay’s run and killed the defense with play action. We got run over and could not complete passes when it counted.

No he doesn't, he doesn't determine how we plan, calls go to KM and MM but once again, defense was and is the issue if you cant win games with your offense giving your team 25, 49, and 28 points in which one a 21 point lead nearly blown against the bears and another 14 in the 4th and lost, stop talking about the offense, its the defense.

this is another frustrating year in which we can NOT out together a potent offense and defense in enough games.. we have either or../Dak and this offense did their jobs, no ones perfect.28 is plenty enough, 27 was for the titan's defense in against the same team on the same turf , Umm only gave up 17, ironic huh.

we have run more and won fan blowback on the lions game because daks a bus driver then goes and gets 49 and 28 and now its not enough. it never ends..

if this was jerry thing his love for Zeke says he would want him to succeed as well, but they sat zeke 2 games now when most said they wouldn't, proves jerry not involved at all and that narrative is never close to the truth.

its the defense we know we can run but game dictates that balance being behind the chains with penalty's and scores being higher , passes sometimes are called more.. i am not worried about our Offense, our D now is doing what our O did last year and post bye have blueprint for beating them.

Like i said i don't overreact, this is week to week league. you never know what matchups are actually going to play out each game. focus on MN this week..

Good points, I blame the offense because I think with our defense we need to extend drives and eat the clock. Teams seem to get a rhythm against us because our offense goes three and out in the second half. We are light in the butt, so definitely we need to be on the field less then 27 minutes.

Tired of hearing that this was supposed to be the year for our defense to carry the load and instead they shot their load after 6 weeks of great play.

I want balance but not run to pass, more so O to D ..STs are doing their part, first half of year defense better then offense now offense Better then defense.

we need to get this back together a play team ball. no protecting our defense, you can't play games like that every game. they just need to do their jobs. Also, the penalties need to stop. that hurt or balance on offense IMHO, when ays worked but called back and instead of 2nd and 2 an its 1st and 12 ..that makes a OC scramble. Or worse getting 1st down called back over penalties.

case in point OT, penalties cost us that drive along with no call on Lamb,.KISS-Keep it simple st...d its mistakes, penalties etc that are dictating play calls.

why be that balanced every game, this week MN has suspect backend why run if you can exploit their pass game. the entire "don't score too fast to porrect our d" is ludicrous. i mean sure some balance is nice, game to game that will fluctuate,

look at the Titans heavy run team ran only like 28 times and not for great yardage but even with only 27 passed exploited that GB backend. We did both well and lost over penalties and defense.

As much as this team frustrates me. I believe we have the players to win the Super Bowl. Every team has weaknesses. We just saw what happened to the Eagles and Minnesota lucked up against Washington and Buffalo. No more excuses!!!!!

 

[McKDaddy]

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

Back when Jaylon was here & you had folks defending him, I tried to tell them to go watch Tennessee. Their entire team was like Thanos compared to our guys. One LB in particular was an absolute heat seeking missile. I had never heard of the guy while in college (at least not enough to remember him). Not a premium draft pick. But he was 10 times the player Jaylon was. It was a clinic and really fun to watch him patrol the way it was meant to be done.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

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.

More proof that Dak Prescott is never going to pass a team to victory

Well said. Week to week matchups. That’s why the patriots were successful, (beyond Brady of course)was because Bellichek was always game planning to exploit weakness/ matchups. Not like us , always running the same scheme

 

[visionary]

It’s been garbage since 2018 Rams play-off loss.

Dak has been garbage since 2017

 

[Clove]

This went from a defensive thread to a Dak thread. Interesting

 

[CowboyRoy]

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.

Im not in this blame the QB for the offense struggling thing. Its the run game that was coming up short and putting the offense in 3rd and long situations. AGain we scored 28 points, should have been enough.

Although the picks I hate. That one in the endzone should never happen. Dont care if the receiver ran it wrong. Dak cant throw that ball.

DT thing I definitely agree on.

 

[KJJ]

The fan base went overboard on the defense earlier in the season, making comparisons with the doomsday defenses of the 70s, the Cowboys defenses of the 90s and even making comparisons to the 85 Bears. I kept telling everyone to tap the brakes and let’s see where the defense is when we get to November and December. That’s usually when the Cowboys start running out of gas. The defense looks like it’s running on fumes right now.

 

[IceStar-D7]

All done with mirrors and other teams have broken the false reflection.

 

[FVSTONE]

56 yards of rushing for the Pack last night.

I've been saying this about Diggs with all the yards he gives up. How can you be a shutdown corner when receivers are blowing by ya??????

 

[Starforever]

Styles makes fights. The Titans are not a fast twitch team; if Dallas comes into that game on fire, Tennessee will not be able to keep up. If they come going three and out, they will get manhandled.

 

[MMObserver]

56 yards of rushing for the Pack last night.

22, 10, 21, 17, 9, and 17 = the number of points GB has scored in losing 6 of their last 7 games.

Packer fans remain shocked they were able to generate 31 points in a single game with an offense that is completely broken.

Packer fans are far less shocked that they were able to generate 31 points in a game against a Mike McCarthy coached team.
