I think that part of the perception that the defense didn’t play well was the lack of sacks and Micah not having a big impact on the game. I think the defense was ok and I wouldn’t have pinned the loss on them if our last drive failed

Every single unit on the team under performed. The defense wasn't terrible but a talent poor Houston offense was more productive than expected. Although, I wouldn't have pinned the loss specifically on any one unit.

Defense got the job done in the clutch when the team had to have it. DQ is right and they have to build upon this and play the whole game like that goaline stand.

Not sure why people are blasting the D. When the ball wasn’t turned over they gave up field goals. Let that sink in, the two times the Texans got TDS is when they were gift wrapped short fields. Take that away and they score 9 points……………..9. They proved that if they have to go the length of the field they can only get 3. Both TDs came off the muffed punt and the first INT.

If you have a really good defense, despite short fields, you shouldn’t make it so easy for the offense without starting receivers, without a competent TE, and with 2 backup QBs score TDs. That’s to be expected by previous Dallas defenses, but I expected more from this one. We also let all these backups irpass their season average for yards. Not good.

I believe this was blasting in the locker room after the game. Jags should just forfeit now.

Ignorant and arrogance is beginning to seep into the mindsets of our team now. It’s around that time of year where we fall apart and this is why.
Good teams usually take care of bad teams in the first quarter. They don't usually wait until their QB throws an int and gets returned to the 5 yard line.
I can tell you this if Dak did that against the Eagles that would of just sealed their fate. Plus Dak will never here the end of it!
