I'll be that guy. We are looking at Doomsday Defense 3

[muck4doo]

This defense is so much fun to watch. I've been an avid Cowboys fan since 1977, and this is the most exciting defense I've seen since Doomsday 2. Don't bring down my high!

 

[RomoIsGod]

3rd in points allowed at 14.4 and 7th in yards allowed but getting better as the season goes along. 3rd in turnover differential with Plus 5. Tied for sacks

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Yes indeed. It is. I believe Micah said so. Glad they know the history.

Our weakness has been running QB's. Hurts is going to hurt us with his legs.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yup, we've got the third edition of the Doomsday D.

Dan the man will have a game plan…urrr, I hope.

Or Hurts is going to get hurt after being smacked by the Lion.

Yeah like he did the last two times he played us. Not to bang on Hurts but let’s give this defense it’s respect. The defense has destroyed every quarterback it has gone up against this season. Hurts will be the 4th best quarterback that we have played so far. Relax…..

Danny Dimes did do damage. True. We will see. By the way, Dilly Dilly.

Right up to the moment Wilson or Parsons takes his head off.

 

[Irv88]

Yes, it looks like Doomsday III. Only giving up 14 and half a game.

And that is with a somewhat hobbled parsons

nice work!

They only scored 20 vs the 2-2 Cardinals. He's gonna be under constant duress

Doomsday 3 is here!!!

I agree however that claim was made 2 or 3 weeks ago by a Zoner.

Oh poo! Always late.

 

[IceBowler]

Lots of fun right now .. but too early to anoint them "Doomsday."

It would actually be Doomsday IV-

• Doomsday I- 1966-74- 2 NFC Championships and one Lombardi. Bob Lily was the anchor along with Lee Roy Jordan, Mel Renfro, and Chuck Howley. Lily retired in 74 and so did Jordan and Howley.
• Doomsday II- 1975-82- 3 NFC Championships, and a Lombardi- this was led by Randy White, Harvey Martin, Too Tall Jones, Cliff Harris, Hollywood Henderson.
  
• Doomsday III- 1991-1996- 3 NFC Championships, 3 Lombardis. Led by Charles Hailey, Deion Sanders, James Washington, and Darren Woodson.

So if this defense can join the previous 3 Doomsdays, it will be Doomsday IV. But we shouldn’t crown them that until they earn it in the playoffs.

I'll agree that they are looking like Doomsday, but you don't get that title less than a third of the way through the season. Hopefully by the end of the season we're still comparing them to the greatest Cowboys defenses.

I think the first two were both just lumped into Doomsday. Probably because we had the same coach. It was more of a continuation of Doomsday.

Yeah but it was completely different personnel. That’s why there’s a difference between I and II. Bob Lily retired in 1974 and Randy White was drafted in ‘75.
