My solution is fixing both sides of the ball to achieve balance. An offense that doesn't go missing for half the bloody game and a defense that doesn't get gutted every time you face an opponent with a half way decent running game.
We had a number 1 ranked offense and 5th ranked defense. You want more balance? See how dumb you sound? Just say you want more of the same you've been getting. You are Jerry Jones.

And yet the offense went missing and the defense got shredded. Tell me, could it be that the stats compiled with data from games against the Giants and other horrible teams might be a bit skewed or are you getting the honest picture from just looking at the stats? In other words, did that defense against GB look like the #5 defense in the league? Did the offense look like the #1 offense in the league? If the answer is no for both of them - then you need to strive for more balance.

This is mind-numbing. How do you fix this offense Johan. In 2025 how do you fix it to be playoff ready. Humor me with details

Well a running game would be a start. Dak Prescott is the last QB you want to rely on to pass you into victory, man is abysmal when you put pressure on him. Anything to alleviate that is going to help.

LOL Watch the video, it's in HD. Absolutely horrendous read, they were waiting for him to throw it to ceeDee. Starred him down all the way misread the coverage, blind as a bat. Should've thrown to Cooks. Total rookie throw.

That's one example. Gave us no chance. How many interceptions do you want to analyze? He's made some horrible ones in the playoffs.


I'm glad you posted this one. Tells me you don't know what you're talking about.

That play's bad result was on whomever designed it. Even Kurt Warner, Irvin, Aikman and several others questioned the poor route designs which actually hurt the QB and WRs while helping the defense.

LOL! Dak threw the ball!! 100% His fault all the way.

If he didn't like the play he could've changed it. He's responsible for reading the defensive alignment.. Oh wait I forgot. It's never his fault! LOL!!!!

Stop with this the "QB is never to blame" nonsense.

You are saying that the person who designed the traffic light/pattern is to blame because the guy driving the car ran the Red Light on his own volition and caused an accident.

The light was RED bubba. Clear as day.

It's not an either/or, you CLOWNS.

We've had an atrocious defense in the playoffs with Dak at QB.

Dak hasn't played well enough in the playoffs.

Both of these things can be true. My God. This thread was about the defense.

Grow up a little. Childish rants while making up false accusations won't change anything for you. Dak is here to stay another 4 years because much smarter people who know the game better than you already went over his tapes and decided he was worth not only bringing back but signing to an NFL record franchise contract extension.

Deal with it or go follow another team.

You didn't answer the questions so at least you admit I'm right.

Dallas can and will get out of Dak's contract after 2 years. Was an insane signing for a very mid/aging/injured/choking QB. Everyone knows it too.

He won't play another full season without injury again. Book it. He might retire sooner than you think because of his bad wheels.

How precious.

Maybe not last year with GB but both 49er playoff games the defense gave up I think 23 and like 17 points. And if I remember 7-10 of those points were directly related to dak interceptions.

Or how about the cursing in he threw before halftime of the one 49ers game… instead of running down the clock and taking three points. What about when the 49ers has two of their best defenders out and dak is targeting zeke on third down in the flat.

Please gimme a break blaming it on the defense. Yeah last year they were awful… but before that they were fine. Dak just couldn’t capitalize

Fine isn't good enough. Fine is what got green bay tossed last night. Why are some of you content with fine when defense wins championships? In the 90s did the defense play "fine"?

And again, I think lower of Dak than you probably do so miss me with that
