Dak made several of those tight window throws during the game winning drive.

Is it risky? Yes, especially inside our own red zone, but who is the one calling those routes? Surely not Dak.
The play call doesn't matter. The QB made the decision to throw that pass into tight coverage and the pass was intercepted, nearly losing the game if not for some incredible defensive heroics. In that situation you take the sack rather than throw the pick.
Thankfully he was given an opportunity to redeem himself, and he did just that.

Are you talking about the 1st or 2nd interception?

He’s been very good for our defense, but his game plan and lack of adjustment today was very poor.
Houston had a RB and 2 poor QBs. Almost nothing at WR with Cooks out. He should have been playing lots of zone and basic defense. Houston either ran the ball, ran the RPO, or threw quick passes. They were not planning to drop back and stand around. Quinn kept blitzing and overloading sides in crazy alignments. This was not the game for that. We were not going to get sacks. Tunsil did a great job on Parsons. We should have had our safeties back, playing zone with everyone’s eyes on the backfield, playing the run or the ball when in the air. I felt all the needless blitzing really hurt us today.

Switch to offense, Moore had a lousy day as well. Houston was sitting in a great zone, keeping everything in front and then punishing our receivers. Their LBs were getting great drops and filling the passing lanes. Most of the tipped passes were just like the great throw that won us the game. They had to be dropped over the backers and before the DBs clocked our receivers. Those guys got hands on some passes with crazy hops and body contortions. Where were the 3 TE sets for 3 quarters? Where was all the motion used to get Ceedee open? I didn’t understand or like the game plans by either coordinator.

The first one was a tipped pass that went off the receivers hands…..it happens.
The second one was thanks to Ball letting his man have a great path and hitting the QBs elbow as he was delivering a pass to Shultz who was open, sending the ball out to the right.
Correct on both. Try making these Dak haters understand those facts. They will never accept it.

What game were you watching......must of had some good koolaid. :facepalm:
You don’t fire you DC over a game when he has done a really good job all season
If you don’t think this is a top 10 defense show me one stat we aren’t top ten
We are even higher than 10 in most including total defense

My question is WHY couldn’t they get any pressure on the Texans OLine….which is considered among (if not the) worst in the league? Their offense seemed to March up and Down the field relatively easily.

Starting to get a little concerned about the pass rush and Micah. Micah looks about as interested in playing as no one

Dak's arm got hit. Had it not, he would have zipped that ball in there. He did that several times during that game winning drive.
As I've already pointed out, the defender that picked the pass was already in position for the interception as the ball was coming out. Prime Brett Favre couldn't have fit that pass into that window. It was a bad decision.

I’m not going to call him a fraud because our D is much improved but there are still things I cannot comprehend.

1. Why is there never a safety even on the tv screen when the other team throws deep? When we throw deep, it seems the CB and both safeties are right there? What are our safeties doing that they cannot help on deep balls, especially when you have to play an inexperienced CB?

2. Why does everyone always overpersue leaving the flats and screen plays so wide open? When we run those plays, it seems the other team has people right there accounting for it.

3. Why is Diggs playing 10 yards off the LOS even on 3rd and 3?

4. Where were the blitzes today? I take it they didn’t think they would need to blitz but as the game was soo tight, where was the adjustment to bring pressure?

5. Why is Vandy always in the wrong gap? It seems like 95% of the time he is one gap off as the RB goes right through the line or he is 8 yards downfield before he gets there. At least he is playing better than the last few years.

No, you're wrong. The only reason it looked that way was because the ball lacked zip due to Dak's arm being have been hit before the release. Pass loses velocity while defender gets time to cut a route and make interception.
