The offense will have to carry this team all season. The defense will be up and down all year. One week they will stop the run. The next week they will stop the pass. Wade can't multitask. It was mistake making him DC and HC

Something's wrong for sure. I think it's the Secondary and Linebackers. Romo needs to score 35 pts. a game to have a chance. Pass rush was not good...or the Giants OF line is very good. I suspect a little of both. All in all, unless there are some new faces, I'm betting another 8 and 8 season..out of the playoffs...Hope I'm wrong.

The Giants O-Line is extremely good. Top 3 in the league, easy.

I'm more concerned with what our pass rush showed (or didn't show) in Tampa.

The defense will not struggle all year, they will find away to come together and give our team a chance.

We're not that bad of a team folks!

I really don't know if they will turn it around or not but I know last Sunday couldn't have been a more poor indicator of what kind of defense we will have when our offense screwed them over.

That is what we all thought last year. We have the same defense the Ravens ran through.

That's what they did last year, so there's hope.

The defense will struggle until Wade learns to stop slant routes, and the safeties and line backers learn to cover the middle of the field 12-15 yards from the los. It's killed us for years now.

Offense didn't screw them over in Tampa and they were terrible.

Offense didn't screw them over last year vs. Baltimore and they were terrible.

Offense didn't screw them over on the last drive of the game. They have never been great and I don't see that changing. They are average.

This team reminds me of the early 80's Chargers. Great offense, terrible defense.

Wade is extremely over rated when it comes to being a DC.

The defense is young and will get better as the season goes on. Dallas will be 10-6 or 11-5 and make the playoffs. Band wagoner's can get off now.

I don't believe so. As a defensive coordinator, Wade is highly respected around the league, and his overall performance record supports his lofty reputation.

As difficult as it may be to accept, the problem may reside with the personnel on the defensive side of the ball. There's a reason players are administered intelligence and personality tests prior to the draft; the ability and willingness to learn the NFL game is every bit as important as physical ability.

Dumb players are bad players, regardless of their talent. The Cowboys have a veteran defense that is playing its third year in the same scheme. If they don't "get it" by now -- if they still don't understand the various coverages and their individual responsibilities at this point -- we have every reason to question their football intelligence.

It almost seems as if the defense is regressing rather than improving.

The season needs to be extended. If for no other reason than to stop the rabid overreactions after two weeks.

Season ain't over yet. 2 games in and you think the defense is done? Shame on you.
