Okay, and?

This doesn't change the fact that these are the teams we went up against

Chicago
San Fran
Bengals
Packers

2 of those teams have backups starting, Gabbert just got benched. Bengals, yet again, struggled on offense against the Pats. Packers have struggled since November of last season.

Also, Packers shot themselves in the foot just as much as we stopped them. Wide open Cobb in the end zone come to mind?

You can throw out all the worthless stats that you want about some streak. We have gone up against lowly offense or struggling offenses. FACT.

So when is the real test old prophet?

So....if the Cowboys defense is really not that good, shouldn't the struggles of said offenses ended once they played them?

We just beat up the Packers at Lambeau. It's time to believe in the 2016 Cowboys.

No. A struggling offense makes a defense look better than they are. Nobody said Dallas' D is terrible, but that the reason they look as good as they do might be partially do to the offenses they are playing.

Lol, your trolling bro. Weve played against the Bengals the Pac and the Giants. After defeating the Skins theyve won 4 straight. I dont really know what it takes for you to buy in but what this team has done is remarkable.

This is what everyone said about Zeke running the ball so well before today. All the stats about the teams we played being so bad against the run...he can't do it against the packers defense they said.
Now they are quiet.

So which team could you not say this same thing about?

Who said he couldn't do it against the Packers? With how our offensive line has been playing, why would anyone doubt it?

Maybe you guys are okay with little to no pressure against an okay offensive line, I'm not. I am happy about us attacking the ball, but next week, we'll have the guy getting those turnovers on the bench for 90% of the game.

Rodgers standing in the pocket ordering a pizza and then overshooting open players is not impressive. I'll wait a little while longer before calling this defense any more than just okay at this point.

At the same time I heard "They're just really outmatched against this Dallas offense. Too many injuries to their secondary." I out loud to my tv starting yelling "Scandrick? Claiborne? Gregory? Lawrence? Church? Dez? Romo? Please stop!!

We've been handled by lowly offenses plenty of times. The defense hasn't been world beaters but they've done more than what's necessary and looked good doing it. No matter who it maybe. Can only play the schedule, and every defense that's playing well has played their share of struggling teams.

Our defense used to have to trot out on the field after 3 passing plays had gone wrong way too much. Now we have a very good running game and are eating up the clock. They look much fresher out there which is a real factor. Who they are playing is part of the equation as well but they have more of a chance to shine when they aren't spending way too much time on the field.

This defense played outstanding. Swarming the ball. It was very wise to add Durant. Jones and Irving played well also. They worked well together as a unit. Good job. Philly be ready!!

Irving deserves to start over Collins. 2 FF, 1 FR and critical 3rd down pass batted down. And always seeing him push his man into the pocket.

Okay offensive line? Packers have one of the best in the game. Regardless of how you feel about the defensive line, this secondary is playing lights out and their a huge reason this defense has been playing well.
