Dak dustup with Peppers

[StarBoyz83]

You didn't give equal blame. You blamed the offense.

Seems everybody here is blaming the defense.

It's the typical Cowboys mistakes that cost them.

 

[noshame]

Huh?

Dak walked off the field with a tie game and 30 seconds to go after being down by 15 points in the 4th quarter.

3rd and 20. Do your job and make a stop and we go to OT.

31 points should you every game in the NFL. Defense failed this one.

You can't fix...you know the rest. Lol

Yes scoring 31 points is a heck of a mistake

Please stop I don't know what your agenda is but it's just stupid

 

[superonyx]

I'm saying both have equal blame. The reason we were down 21- 3 is on the offense. Offense could've won it at the end also. Don't know why people didn't expect the d to get torched.

And you would be wrong,

Expecting the defense to play poorly does not mean they are not to blame for playing poorly.
Are you being a troll or are you serious about this crap?

We scored on 6 of 9 offensive possessions. We put up 420+ yards and 31 points.
Your kidding us right?

 

[Dodger12]

31 points, 300 yards passing, over 100 passer rating, 100 yards rushing and a WR with over 100 yards receiving......ya, let's blame the offense.

When you're playing a team that just pasted a better Giants defense for 38 points, those numbers wouldn't be enough. Matter of fact, GB scored more than 30 points their last 5 games before they played Dallas and thy did it against some pretty good defenses (Seattle, Minny and the Giants). 3 of those 5 games they scored 38 points.

By all means, lets put this game on our undermanned D. Stupid.

So since we should expect the defense to "get torched", it's the offense's fault Green Bay scored 21 points the first 20 minutes of the game?

I'm having flashbacks to after Denver won 51-48 in Jerryworld a few years ago, and some people blamed Romo for "only" throwing 6 TD passes.

I could care less about other teams in the NFL.

If you told me before the game, we would be even with the Packers in turnovers, score 31 points....Dak would have 3 TD Passes with 300 yards, Zeke over 120 and Dez at 130 and 2 TDs.....I would've said we win this game.

31 points should win you every game in this league.
The offense tied the game up twice in the 4th quarter, once with 30 seconds to go.

If your defense gives up 34 points and a 30 yard play on 3rd and 20 with 10 seconds on the clock to lose the game...that's on them. I don't care if they are unmanned. Fact is they have avoided giving up the big play all season....they had to do it for one more play.

Blaming the offense for this loss is just baffling. Sure they had a slow start but it's a TEAM GAME....that doesn't excuse the other unit for giving up 3 straight touchdowns.

Truthfully, offense as a whole deserves zero blame for this loss. We would've kept pace if Witten didn't miss a key block and Brice Butler didn't invest a new penalty. That's more on individual players than a unit as a whole. We moved the ball with ease all game.

 

[Oh_Canada]

The defense was bad but it hasn't been much all year. People can blame the d all they want but they put us in a spot to win and the offense failed.

Ummmmm what?

I'm not going to argue the defense isn't burnt toast, but in this arena league setup the NFL has created, sometimes 31 isn't going to be enough.

Hell, had we won, the team we'd be playing this week AVERAGES more than 31.

I don't disagree but when you have to make one very high percentage stop to force overtime, it's hard to point the finger at the offense when they just tied the game 20 seconds before.

He should have thrown 7. LOL

no

 

[hornitosmonster]

Offense wasn't the problem. Stopping Aaron was the issue

 

[benson]

He showed them, made their hearts race a lil bit at the end there!

So you're basically grading the defense on a huge curve. This is professional football, not Jimmy's 8th grade math test. There is no place for that here.

 

[TheCount]

Yeah, saw that too. I like that they waited till they could get him alone like a bunch of scavengers, cause if he had his line with him, they would have tossed Peppers through the goal posts.

 

[CF74]

and the packers dline. I thought that interaction was interesting. They wanted to test the rookies heart and mental and tried to punk him. Not only did Dak shoot back but he commenced to torching that defense. Anybody else notice that quick clip? That's my quarterback

I was disappointed nobody from the O-line went after Peppers when he tried to punk Dak...

What? Our offense put us in a spot to win. The D was horrendous and is what cost us the game.

 

[Doomsay]

Can you imagine if two of our defenders sandwiched bug eyes after the play like that?

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Naw, he showed them. And they know it.

Two reasons why that was done:

1. A vet trying to rattle rookie = fail
2. They fear Dak = success
