Cowboys defense ranked 30

[Diehardblues]

While we avoided 0-2 and all that comes with that with a win I came away with more concerns than reliefs.

Our defense made a QB on his last legs look in SB form as Wilson threw for about 450 yards. And that was after they were flagged for almost 200 yards in penalties. How many leads did we give up. Truly incredible.

I can’t recall coming away from a win so discouraged. This defense is even worse than I imagined. Could be our worse defense this era . And we’ve had some bad ones.

To be fair, there are a bunch of players on the defense we haven't seen yet. There is no doubt it will look much different in a few weeks.

The other side of the coin, just one week ago we were all praising out defense for the way they played against Philly. It's still a week to week league.

So to say it's the worst this era after one bad game is something I can't buy into.

I said “ could be” worst.

They were awful last season and lost their best player......they WILL be bottom 5 defense this season

Kind of expected. Can't get rid of the best player on your defense, you could say team, and expect that side of the ball to be better. Our pass rush looked meh yesterday. Our secondary was terrible. Wilson was just throw bomb after bomb. Diggs was beat like a drum. Elam was TERRIBLE. We need Bland back healthy asap. We might have overrated our secondary after holding Jalen Hurts, Brown and Smith to hardly nothing in the air. Hurts and their passing attack looked terrible vs the Chiefs as well. Though they still won the game like they did vs us. Jalen hurts had a hair over 100 yards passing. AJ Brown has a total of 6 catches for 35 yards and no TD's so far this year.

I just hope Clowney isn’t their last roster addition. We need way too much help.

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

We ended up 28th last year giving up 355 YPG. I don't see us improving on that.

Egirls offense is ranked 29th after 2 wins.

It’s still 2 games so I won’t overreact just like I didn’t overreact due to a close loss to Philly or because Guyton looked like garbage last week which apparently is an upgrade from hot garbage and deserves praise.

It’s only 2 games, and we have an easy stretch coming up. I expect a big win against the Bears, a loss to the Packers (sky is falling) and then 2 easy wins against the Jets and Carolina. Then we have very winnable games against Washington, Denver, AZ and Vegas.

Fire up the Super Bowl train, there’s a good possibility we’ll be 8-2 before we face good competition again.

That’s the most ridiculous assessment I’ve seen this year. Id wager serious stakes against 8-2 if gambling was allowed on this site. But keep those Pom Poms shaking. lol

Point out that we have holes on the defense now, and get criticized by the very same people who will use it as an excuse for our lack off success at the end of the season.

Yea, there’s a segment of fans who can’t grasp valid critical thinking along the way but at end of season will use as excuses and scapegoats. It’s truly hypocrisy. Well done Gangster .

No where to go but up.

I thought the DT play wasn’t so bad yesterday.

The secondary kept getting beat deep. Badly. Lack of pass rush was probably a part of that.

Makes sense considering we swapped a DE for a DT.

The worst defense I can remember in Dallas was the Mike Nolan year when they had Tyrone Crawford trying to play 1T. That was embarrassing.

 

[SlammedZero]

Small sample size, but the early returns aren’t great.

On the bright side, the next opponent’s QB has looked pretty “meh” (IMO), so it might be a chance to iron some things out before Green Bay. Then again, struggling QBs always seem to find their rhythm against Dallas. Guess we’ll see.

That is what they said about yesterday's QB, that he looked meh, washed up. Against our defense though...

 

[Havic]

Russell Wilson essentially having a career game is all I need to know about this defense

After yesterday, the defense is like a ship taking on water............fast.
