Game is all on the Defense

[Northern_Cowboy]

Keep the blinders on.


The defense gave up not one, but two 100 yard rushers to the opponent.

Dak had nothing to do with that.

Dak did exactly what he did all year he got us to 21 points (we averaged 21.4 this year). Our D actually held the Rams to 3 points less than their season average (33) Dak was not capable of puting up 30 plus to beat the Rams unless he got alot of TO and short fields. We are not an explosive offense with Dak we tend to grind it out, well that wasn't going to work today. At what point does Dak carry the team to a win when things aren't perfect everywhere else. yes the D sucked today so we needed a big day from the O we didn't get it

Or the Defense could have stepped up, when the offense made it 7-3. Even while the offense should have been able to do better at times, it is never acceptable for the D to be so bad, that the offense has to score nearly on every possession. This was just about the case tonight, because the Rams basically scored on every possession they got. Defense gets no credit for holding them to FGs.

Because no one blaming Dak for the loss, is going to give him credit for the things he did to give the Cowboys a chance to comeback and tie the game, if the D had held at the end up the game. Dak doesn't get credit from his haters, even when the Cowboys win. But, the D should be praised for forcing a couple of FGs, in an overall bad performance.

The did actually, they held the high powered Rams O to another FG to keep us in the lead 7-6 what was the offense doing?

So you didn't even watch the game, you just looked at the teams season averages and drew your conclusions. Great analysis there

Our D allowed the Rams to set a franchise record for most yardage ever in a playoff game. Process that and then get back to me about Dak.

And kept on giving up drives and rushing yards after that, but some want to absolve them of their performance tonight, in the blame Dak for everything that goes wrong and blame Dak for all of the other players mistakes and bad play, agendas.

What you're missing, is the Rams offense kept our offense off the field and once they got the lead they shortened the game.

The defense that we’ve been hanging our hats on all year looked worse than some of the defenses that got us knocked off in the playoffs in previous years. We got completely abused upfront. They dominated us so thoroughly they had two backs rush for over 100 yards.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Almost 300yds running the ball???? 300.

 

[TWOK11]

And despite that, if Jeff Heath doesn't make the most head scratching defensive play I saw all season we have the ball with 1:40 left with a chance to tie the game.

Dak didn't have anything to do with our D sucking but he had alot to do with our offense and unless it's perfect for him we don't win. I'll say it again the Rams averaged 33 points a game this season who in here expected them to score less than 30? Raise your hand...lol. If we hold them to 27 they win if we hold them to 24 they still win. The only way we were going to win today was if our O could put up at least 28 points, we have an average offense that is why we lost. When our D held them to 1 FG in the 1st quarter what was our offense doing? what was our offense doing to build a sizable lead? When they scored 17 in the 2nd quarter what was our offense doing (had we even scored 7 it might have been a different game in the 2nd half) instead we were going 3 and out.

 

[Sydla]

The only reason we lost this game was because we couldn’t stop the Rams running game. For you haters who blame it on Dak or anyone else, you have no clue about what it takes to win football games.

LOL.

It all starts with the coaching staff.

They failed. 8 full seasons only 2 playoff wins. Garrett is now the longest tenured HC in the NFL that has never made a champ game.

 

[noletime95]

Fair post. Not good news though to discover front 7 is a fraud

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Yeah hats off to Garrett/Linehan and this offense , averaging 21+ points per game .

I had to put you on ignore, your just being a troll now

There are two obvious liabailities out there on this defense. Both have 8's in their numbers. 38 and 98. Get them out of the positions they're playing and this defense might be better.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

we went 3 and out a number of times this game, lets face facts the Rams have a good D-Line but overall they are not a great D, they were ranked 20th this season and they gave up 24 points a game. What did we do on offense to expose that? They were 23rd against the run but we couldn't run on them, why?

Grow up child

We were built for the playoffs doe

 

[HungryLion]

It is mind boggling to me. That Jeff Heath has been a starter this long.

Heath had Goff. All Heath had to do was set the edge and he has Goff lined up.

It was pathetic.
