Twitter: Dallas Defense Since Week 10

[gimmesix]

please let the offense wake up

if they can get to even maybe 75% of what they was the cowboys can win a super bowl this year

Yes, it's weird to be thinking that because we usually need the offense to play at 110 percent to overcome the defense. Now, we might only need the offense to be good enough to complement the defense.

 

[exciter]

That is the question. Other than the Chiefs, I don't think there's a top offense in that bunch. And we didn't do all that great of a job stopping the Raiders.

However, when we faced Washington, Heinicke had completed over 70 percent of his passes during Washington's four-game winning streak, and we shut him down. Also, we really only play one top offense the remainder of the regular season, so it may not be until the playoffs before we find out if we can stop a Green Bay or LA.

I couldn’t figure out if the Dline was playing that dominant or if their oline was completely dysfunctional. Kept wondering how they managed to win a game this season. I think Heinicke was 2 of 11 completions wise at one point, And even then I was more impressed with their containment of the RB… he gashed us bad last year if I remember correctly!

And these are not garbage time stats.

There was a lot of that going on earlier in the year when our offense was putting up a ton of points.

I posted that in part, because in the Saints game when they had no choice but to throw the ball, that was when the INT's came in bunches.
But can there really be defense garbage stats, they still need to stop the other team.

As my thought was someone may say that. Though I do not believe in garbage stats on either side of the ball if the game is within 2 scores.
Or if a team is down by 24 point with 5 minutes left they are just trying to get a score, and a defense lets up a little bit. Allowing them to burn clock.
But they all count in the books no matter what.

That is a welcome turnaround for that side of the ball. Been harping about building the defense for years. Couldn’t come at a better time.

Now about that offense…

 

[shabazz]

And they've faced the Falcons, Chiefs, Raiders, Saints and Skins in that time.

Make of that what you will. There's no question they're better. How much better is the discussion.

Proper context and strength of opponent is a real mother......

 

[Sydla]

Quinn got these guys playing well and having a stud like Parsons really settle in as a rookie has paid massive dividends.

And to think, these *******es wasted a year on Mike Nolan. LOL.

 

[CowboyRoy]

This is the year. The Oline needs to get its act together the offense needs to get back up to speed. The talent is here, the defense is here.

Its the Oline. They have to start settling in.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I’m glad the numbers match up now with what’s being displayed on the field so I don’t have to debate anymore about how good our defense is.

The box score nerds can finally make sense of what’s on the TV now.

Mediocrity really sucks doesnt it?

 

[CoachD]

We haven't seen defensive stats like that in Dallas since Dave Wannstedt was the DC.

Defenses take their foot off the gas all the time and trade time and prevention of big plays down field for yards.

A team with a 3 score lead with 10 minutes left in the game isn’t going to defend the same way as they did earlier in the game.

 

[Praxit]

...If offense gets the groove back, no telling how far we can go.

 

[Ranching]

So it's the defenses fault that Dak is in a slump!! Lol

 

[DCwarrior]

Record is 3-2 with those numbers on defense…

 

[reddyuta]

If the offense can get back to form then we have a real chance to win it all.

 

[nalam]

Way to go !

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I know it sounds corny but defense wins championships. It's been proven over and over in the postseason. If you're not playing top 5 D, you probably won't get the Lombardi trophy. See the Bucs last year.........greatest QB of all times but the D won their Super Bowl. The bottom line, it's coming together at the time.......

 

[Clove]

Two words, Micah Parsons'.

 

[Brooksey]

There's no question they're better. How much better is the discussion.

That is the question..can they do enough to knock off Brady or Rodgers in the playoffs? I think they can if Parsons has the right opportunities but our running game needs to improve
