Defense Don't Win Championships In Todays NFL

[Jimbo123]

If Defences don't win championships then the Cowboys are in a heap of trouble.

Sacks are important....if you can stop the pass. The Eagles couldn't stop the pass against QBs who could actually throw the ball.

It was their Achilles heal and I said it before the game even started. Purdy would have torn them up too if he didn't get hurt on the first drive of the game.

KC has a mid tier defense going against a stacked offense...never a good combo but they did enough to win.

KC ran the ball really well too

Maybe complimentary football wins championships.

Eagles played better complimentary football in the first half, 24-14 (10 points).
Eagles had the first and last possession of the half.

KC played better complimentary football in the second half, 24-11 (13 points).
KC had the first and essentially the final possession of the half except for the final embarrassing 8 seconds.

We signed Prescott years ago….he’s inching toward being paid closer to the middle of the league. The team we have now is talented. It does have a good defense. crying about 4 years ago now is immaterial to the fact that a quarterback of his talent needs help around him and balance is key. It also completely ignores we have been able to put talent around him

Which brings us back to the context of this post which is “defense doesn’t win championships” Well maybe it doesn’t mean as much when you have a qb like mahomes but for a team like ours it certainly does and while It’s much easier to have a quarterback on a rookie deal we have built a more than capable roster here.

Now we need dak to lean on a defense and a running game and elevate us when he can but not ask him to do it all the time. It’s very simple twinkle twinkle just follow along. I know tweets are more your speed bc they are short and not original points of yours but I believe in you twinkle twinkle

He's still trying to excuse using a quarter of your cap space on Dak Prescott. Someone who must be carried by the 75% of the cap you have left.

Standard operating procedure. Nothing to see here.

lol okay

And you keep ignoring that KC only got there due to their D vs Cincy!!!!!

finding elite is difficult. there is at most 3,4 each year. I don't consider Hurts elite. he is good to very good. he had a very strong supporting cast around him. but Mahomes as you said is generational talent. not easy to find. that's why its called generational talent.

so which means 28 teams should just give up every year, try to race to the bottom because they don't have elite QBs and hope to draft one. and maybe 1,2 hit it in a year. which means the rest go fishing again.

I dont know if Hurts is Elite, but THIS year, he was Elite. If he didnt get hurt, he wins the MVP this year. Id say the guy named the best player in the entire league is elite, at least for that year he was.

Yup. Pretty sure what he's doing is not sustainable, but at present he's elite.

Yeah you. You're the one attempting to defend using 25% of your cap space on Dak Prescott. As if it's not an issue.

At the end of the day it's an offensive game, and in todays NFL, a great offense usually beats a great defense.

This isn't the 90s or early 2000's anymore where you could win with great defensive play. You're not allowed to play defense the same way anymore and the game has been geared more towards the offensive side of the ball while more rules have been put in place that make playing defense harder.

These defenses were #1 and #2 in the NFL in sacks and both teams put up at least 30 points.

Jalen Hurts accounted for 4 TDs while Mahomes won the Super Bowl MVP and played lights out. It's a QB game now more so than it's ever been. As Warren Sapp said recently "You train to be within 1 score at the end of the game now and you let your 100 million dollar QB take you home". That's exactly what we saw last night.

A good defense is a great thing to have, but if you don't have the offense then you don't have anything.

Wrong. Until the end of time, in football, you throw to score, run to win, and defense wins championships.

What team had the most rushing yards in the Super Bowl the other night? Run to win.
What team had the most points? Throw to score
What team had the defensive play of the game with a fumble return for a TD? Defense wins championships

The answers are the team that won...KC the team...not the band.

This fact should shut this Eagles troll, but it won't.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I'm your Dak.

Seek help.

Hey, look, the Eagles troll finally showed his true colors. He changed his avatar pic to showcase his love and support for his whiney, sorelosing, crybaby, bad attitude, embarrassing head coach.

As the rules tilt more toward offense, the teams with the defense that can pull out more stops will be the one that wins.

well a team has to have both, to win usually.
and it is about adjustments and adapting in game too.
eagles held KC to 14 points in ist half ,(and 7 of that was the def scoring) in 2nd half KC put up 24 by adjusting and playing better.
KC allowed 24 in 1st half and 11 in 2nd half, so really it was half & half lol

Both teams had a good defensive half and 1 good offensive half. and KC just scored last.

Yup.

Mahomes 330 yards and 2 TD against Cinci was nothing.

Haha, their coach looks like he came down from his first meth binge.

Yeah you. You're the one attempting to defend using 25% of your cap space on Dak Prescott. As if it's not an issue.

It’s not ideal but it hasn’t been the issue….the team is talented. The team has Drafted well. Just because the organization hasn’t spent the money on the right pieces and made boneheaded deals like the amari one doesn’t mean it’s all daks contract. That’s a low hanging fruit simpleton argument.

Obviously roster building with a quarterback on a rookie deal>>>>>top dollar qb but that wasn’t in the cards now for about 4 years and won’t be for a few either. You can cry about it, scour tweeter for cool links or you can face reality- do you twinkle twinkle lil star.

The team still is one of the more talented teams in the league. If they weren’t they wouldn’t have won 24 of their last 34 regular season games. Mismanagement with the left over allocated dollars and dak not performing to the level he can which got him that big contract is why we haven’t got over the hump yet not a lack of talent. Beyond wide receiver the team has good talent along most skill positions

If you want an argument that makes some sense…I’ll help you. It’s the question of whether or not jerry and Stephen can allocate and shrewdly spend the remaining money around the roster sufficiently enough to continue to have a talented team. That’s debatable but the team being talented? Or not capable to field a winner because of daks deal?….,no.

[kskboys]

Mahomes 330 yards and 2 TD against Cinci was nothing.

Who are you arguing w/? No one has said anything different, and no one has said it doesn't take an O. You're the only one claiming that it's only one thing to win. You're ignoring a pile of facts just to make an erroneous claim.

What facts?

Let's take it back to the Cowboys, okay? Our defense held the 49ers to 19 points in our playoff game.

Did we lose because our defense didn't play well enough or because our offense did nothing?

"Paying a stiff QB who needs to be carried by his supporting cast a quarter of your cap space isn't ideal but hasn't been an issue."

Just point and laugh at him.
