ESPN destroying our defense this morning

[BigTimeBlues]

I don’t understand why there has to be blame to put on a single unit when all three phase’s absolutely dissolved into mediocrity at its finest in the second half.

Dallas was dominant going into halftime. Leading 21-7 firing on all cylinders offensively. Defensively, +1 takeaways and ~140yds allowed is pretty solid. Looking like it was going to be another Vikings style victory.

Then utter chaos ensues. Hell even the special teams blocking for Turpin took a vacation to Cabo. Dallas came out pretty flat all around. Total team loss save for maybe Maher.

We also stopped them in OT and only needed a FG.

Instead Dak threw a pick 6 to end the game.

Noah Brown had a tip drill interception. Just like Meyers had a pick six play for the Patriots.

We got soft coaching. NY Giants hire good coaches. Poof they are competitive after 1 offseason...

Maybe getting called out and embarrassed will light a fire. For the entire team , not just the defense.

An avalanche started when Joseph gave up that long touchdown. It was like an echo effect.

Good, Jerry deserves the misery.

Yeah that hurt big time, which then was followed up by an offensive turnover that put the defense on a super short field after JUST being burned for 60yds.

Missing half of the starters is starting to catch up

That toss by Lawrence to Zay Jones really was a thing of beauty.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

Dak is playing like he made vacation plans next month and doesn't want to pay the cancellation fees.

 

[boysfanperiod]

Reality check in effect.

 

[phildadon86]

If I don't understand football why are you 3 games away from losing a bet to me? What does that say about you? lol

Heart over brain. That's why.

Just because there's nothing we can do about Dak doesn't require me or you to defend his terrible play.

LOL. Zeke is at 774 yards. And 860 total yards. Keep acting like you know what you are talking about. And he missed 2 games lol. You know nothing Jon Snow

 

[atlantacowboy]

The whole crew calling our defense soft and over-rated. 2 games, 1 sack in 72 drop backs in two weeks vs two of the worst OLs. Can’t stop the run inside or outside. Can’t cover on the outside. No chance at a SB with that soft defense, and they clarified that soft doesn’t mean they aren’t physical or sticking their heads in there, but mentally and emotionally soft. Not getting the job done or taking over games when given leads.

Dak was held accountable for the first INT, trying to do too much on 2nd and 18, but overall they think he played a very good game and is definitely not soft.

Moore got blasted for the 3rd down play at the end when his play call had 3 guys running fly and no one underneath, no Ceedee coming across the field. They called it a lazy play call with no situational awareness giving Dak no option but throwing low percentage pass on 3rd down.

Brown had to make that final 3rd down catch in overtime, no excuses. Ball where it was supposed to be.

Micah should have been commenting on Trevor Lawrence, not Hurts during the week.

If this defense doesn’t step up after the way they are being talked about, then it’s just hopeless.

Correction. Micah shouldn't be "commentating" on anyone or anything. He needs to shut up and play football.

 

[Cmac]

Rex Ryan used the word no player wants to hear......SOFT.

 

[cnuball21]

Correction. Micah shouldn't be "commentating" on anyone or anything. He needs to shut up and play football.

His 12 pressures and sack yesterday was one of the lone bright spots on the defense.

If he plays like that after talking…keep talking.

Zeke needs to average 75 rushing yards the next 3 games to get 1,000.

He's only had 75 or more yards in 4 games this year.

Again, I made the bet with you because I knew that he would have limited carries based solely on Pollard and his own injury issues.

You went heart over brain on that bet.

No. I didnt.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

No. I didnt.

You did though.

Anyone in their right mind would've known Zeke was to beat up and run down to get 20 carries a game or even play every game for that matter.

Lol. Hes literally 200 yards away from 1000. Missing 2 games. It wasnt a crazy thing like you are making it out to be. Thats just who you are though. He will be at 1000 total yards in 3 games. lol
