Wow that's crazy your telling me after a turnover your defense doesn't have to immediately give up a score

 

[Jake]

Wait, so if your offense turns the ball over your defense is allowed to take it back? What is this sorcery?

 

[uvaballa]

Not sure Thornhill ends up a better player than Hill.....

He’ll be better. Cowboys needed a ball hawk guy who can get turnovers and not a run stuffer.

This is incredible. And also, I thought the Cowboys were the only team that turned the ball over. And other teams are allowed to actually PLAY DEFENSE.

From what I saw yesterday the Cowboys need both.

Safety has been a much bigger need for years. They could have filled a huge need with a better player but they blew it.

Cowboys were idiots for passing on Thornhill.

You really think Thornhill would be this good with the Cowboys? Some fans think Ramsey would have been great here too. Imagine Ramsey, Thornhill, and Jones with this defensive line and coaching staff. Cowboys zone would run those guys out of town.

Why would you waste a challenge on that? You get the next challenge wrong and you lose all your challenges......

Bellichick is down 6-0 vs the best team in the league without his quarterback. Also missing a whole mess of players from free agency and opting out.

Coaching doesn't matter though its just the players right everyone?

And this is my stance to. We would be complaining about all of those guys too. I mean look at the Patriots.....they are missing starters and they are playing as a sound unit. That's one thing the Cowboys never got right. The DC position. They haven't gotten it right since Wade.

Are there people out there who think coaching doesn't matter?

Only 6 total points in the 1st quarter. We would already be in garbage time if we scored 0-6 points in the first quarter.

Fair enough haha, I live in Kansas City now, so, by default, i have to like them when they're not playing the Cowboys haha.

I understand that.
I grew up North of Cincinnati and followed the Bengals and Reds growing up and still do. But Cowboys were still always #1 even then.
I lived and work in Jacksonville Florida 2 different times for almost 2 years. 10 months and 12 months stays. In 2011 to 2012, then 7 months later in 2012 to 2013. I liked it there, so like the Jaguars to do well.
Lived in Indianapolis for a while too, liked it there, still like to se the Colts do well.

However I lived in South Florida for 16 years before moving to DFW area in 1998. Never did get to like the Dolphins though.
Stayed in Houston for 6 months, no way was I going to follow the Texans.

Those guys would create more turnovers
No pass rush hurts the secondary of course.

 

[MysteryIceGuro]

0-6!? Can you imagine the Chiefs against our defense right now? It would be 106-14 !!

I grew up in Houston, and could never go for the Texans.

Tony Romo” a CB who can tackle is special”. I can’t remember our last DB who was good at tackling? 2016 Church/Heath/ Carr?

Garbage time. I never hard that stat until Dak started leading the league in passing last season. Dink and dunk was another saying Dak made popular.

It just feels like these two teams have 16 players on defense....it feels like we only play 5 lol.
