Lack of Turnovers

[CowboyFrog]

each game is diferent, in BUF the Offense and Defense worked hard to make that game really easy for the BUF offense to take no risks with the ball and literally do whatever they wanted...not going to get TO's much in that scenario..in MIA DQ got schooled a bit with motion and of course fear of the top comming off which gave MIA free riegn within 5 yards of the LOS which again isn't going to net you many turnovers...If you cant put an offense behind the chains your chances for a TO go WAY DOWN....

Teams have adjusted. The offense is not scoring 30 a game anymore in the last two games so teams don’t have to throw against our vaunted pass rush. The offense needs to get it going and then the defense can feast.

It’s not that teams have adjusted, we simply can’t get it going on the road. Our two blowout wins on the road against the Giants and Panthers were aided by defensive scores. We haven’t scored 30 points the past two games because we’re continuing to struggle on the road by having to play from behind and we’re not being helped by takeaways. We threw away a TD last week because of a turnover that might have led to a big scoring day. Our defense only feasts when we have a lead and we’re rushing the passer. When we get behind opponents run the ball and we continue to struggle against the run.

DQ is the most overrated DC we’ve had in quite sometime. He and his scheme are getting exposed. Hopefully some sucker of a team will take him off our hands.

Smoke and mirrors doesn’t win championships. Bully ball wins championships and DQ’s little d folds when they get punched in the mouth.

This defense is a paper tiger. Roars against weaker teams and fold like a house of cards against better ones

They don’t fold. They bend. That’s what happens when the big boys play.

Great point Coogs. It's been a noticeable difference especially in benefiting from getting great field position from it.

Al Harris was garunteeing the fellas that Josh Allen was gonna gift them multiple interceptions....he was dead wrong

He was dead wrong because Allen only threw 15 passes (completing a whopping 7).

All he had to do was handoff against this defense because the Bills were getting 7 to ten yards every time running it.

I think teams have adjusted because Buffalo and Miami both have played light boxes against the run and have zoned our wide outs. Teams know we can’t run and have adjusted accordingly.

It’s not the last 2 games. Take note that every game we have lost we have 0 turnovers. This defense is turnover or bust and it’s not a great formula because you can’t count on those.

its more of a win 1st down or bust defense...(alot of defenses even good ones kinda are), if we can not put an offense behind the chains then its gonna be a long day..again most defenses are in this catagory...

The run defense was so poor Buffalo didn't need to pass.

it'll be in year 3 until we see potential

whose year 3 are you talking about ?

 

[Creeper]

Against the Bills, the Cowboys had not chance for turnovers. They were too busy getting run over. Although they had one that the refs missed. Against the Phins, I think the Cowboys were worried about getting run over again, and fell for a lot of play action fakes. There were no good opportunities to pick anything off, especially without the pass rush.

If Micah is not rushing, there is no pass rush. I don't know what Fowler and Sam Williams are doing but they aren't getting to the QB.

Would a five man front forced change there? Three defensive tackles and two ends...

 

[Coogiguy03]

whose year 3 are you talking about ?

Uhh year one=Injured, 2- In dallas they'll return from an ACL injury yet they're not fully confident in their abilities from that injury (see #13 and #78), 3- He should be fully confident and ready to go!!!

 

[VaqueroTD]

Two games left. Now would be a great time to turn the TO machine back on.

Taking the ball away, and giving it back to our Offense has been a staple in this Dan Quinn defense. Over the last several games, we haven't had any turnovers. Will things change this game, what can be done to get more turnovers?

I think it'll be kind of hard to get turnovers if teams are killing us at our weak spots and we're doing nothing about it. All they have to do is keep doing it and doing it well, and that limits our chances of getting them (running the ball on us). Please give your thoughts on how we can get turnovers, and give the ball to our offense!

We have turnovers at the local bakery.

You want apple or cherry,?

Haha

As usual, a very astute observation
