Defense Excuse

[khiladi]

Falcons are 31st in points allowed. They are 31st in passing yards given up, 30th in TDs, and 17th in INT, 28th in Y/A.

Browns are 30th, 30, 8, 30

Seattle is 20th in point, but 32 in attempts and 32 in yards, while being 8th on TDs passing, but they give up rushing TDs at 20th rank.

Cowboys are 23 in passing yards, 30th in TDs, 29th in INT and 17th in Yards per attempts.

So when do we get to say Dak is padding stats against GARBAGE defenses that have gone soft to run out the clock?

Daks stats are overinflated, but this is ridiculous. When its week 4 the opposition will look terrible when your offense light that team up for 500+ yards. Get a full season in and then we can go back and look at those rankings.

Its just like before last week I saw a stat about strength of schedule for 3-0 teams. Well of course they have a weak SOS, they are responsible for 1/3 of their opponents losses.

My ignore list continues to grow. Thanks for the hot takes. I'm sure gonna miss them.

No excuses....we suck. Bad secondary scheme and lack of gonads is all I got.

Hear him out guys. He’s been a staunch supporter of our quarterback and I agree that it’s concerning with all these stats dak has been putting up against no name defenses

So Foles coming off the bench after a year in Jacksonville and without an off-season to throw for three TDs against the Falcons in the fourth quarter never happened? Seattle giving up 434 yards against the Falcons isn’t in the realm of numbers that Dak “number one-ranked passing attack in yardage” offense put up? The Hawks allowing 397 passing yards to Cam Newton, who didn’t break 200 yards passing against other teams, isn’t in the same realm?

Defense will continue to Nolan unless leadership is changed.

Hire wade Phillips for the love of god and end this abortion of a defense.

Before I really respond I guess I should ask what your point is? I mean clearly daks numbers are overinflated. Are we trying to argue that he is aweful because of the competition level?

Here's the real excuse for the D, in player's words: "We suck, so why would you expect better?"

Of course he is..

How long yesterday were we stuck at 14 points?

 

[Denim Chicken]

say it with me for the slow ones:

Its not garbage time when you're within three points. It's not garbage time when you actually win the game (Falcons).

 

[Hawkeye0202]

What difference it makes OP ......he's trying to win some games. I could halfway see your point he was putting up these numbers leading games but that clearly hasn't been the case. Think about it, he's trying to salvage games and to an extent the season and you're upset coz his stats are going up.......doesn't make any sense. Should we not be more concerned about winning?
