Once again, Romo will get all the hate, but our D' is a joke....

I'm pleased with the defense today. In a regular game vs. another team, this would be a terrible performance but the Broncos are nearly unstoppable and yet the defense forced 2 turnovers and a few FGs against them to give our offense a chance.

If you told me before the game that the defense would do ENOUGH vs. Peyton to give us a chance to win at the end, I'd take it every time, regardless of if the score is 3-3 or 48-48.

We just have to accept that the defense is not good. Too many no-names on the DLine.

I believe that in a dome, Denver scores 40+ on every team in the league

Our D at least got 2 turnovers

Our D didn't stop the other team one...single...time...PERIOD. There is no good. That cost us the game. If we stop them ONE TIME, the game is over.

What happened tot he front 4 on Defense? We are barely touching the opposing QB for last 4 games?
Did everyone figure out Kiffin/Mareneli scheme? Ware injured, double team Hatcher and play one on one on the rest?


We're missing 3-4 quality lineman. Our front 7 coaching is fine. But you can only coach so far with depleted talent.

Bruce Lee sucks. I thought they were future all pro? Man the D sucks! Romo better not get any blame...

Cowboys have dead people playing on D? that explains so much, wonder why Manning didn't score more than 51?

If we are being honest. How many of us said to ourselves on that last drive. "Please dont throw an int.?" I did!!!

I'm pretty sure a turnover = a stop

In a sense, I suppose it is, but you know what I mean. They didn't get one single stop that wasn't from a turnover. And it's a problem with this D. If they don't get a turnover, it's over.

This epitomizes Tony Romo's career. Brilliants stats. Chokes when it matters the most.

Yea only a SB would change this. Romo is what he is. He had a great game. I never saw him play better but i was waiting for that play. But really the defense should be what everyone should be talking about.

turnovers are inherently better, I don't think you can argue that. So you would feel better if we had two "stops" and 0 turnovers?

Denver is the best offense in the League, maybe one of the best ever. Playing in perfect conditions.

Why does it have to be one? Just blame both, the D didn't help Tony all day and at the end his mistake cost them. If Dallas won the blame wouldn't go on Manning and his lob pass to Mo. I'm trying to figure out waht the strenght of this defense is and I just cant get it.

Clairbourne sucks, selvie sucks, Lee sucks man, first its blow smoke up the butt, than its cry me a river. What th ehell guys, do you understand football, do you understand Manning is that good. Thats like comparing Ware to the SD player all over again. Or people trying to tell me Brady is all that. Brady is good, Brady is no Peyton. Getting tired of explaining this. Manning is lighting up defenses just for the fun of it and ours scares him and all of sudden we suck.

Right, but it is inexcusable to not get a single stop that isn't from a turnover. I can't ever remember that happening in any game I've ever seen.

at some point we have to realize that we think some of our players on D are world class but they are average at best,no coordinator is going to fix that.
You hit the nail on the head. We have a few above average players on D and several over rated, especially Demarcus Ware. He has been a non factor for the last two games with backup O lineman handling him without a problem.

Our d backs cannot guard for more then 2 seconds to get a pass rush and when they do our d line cannot get the pressure. Sometimes hall of famers like D Ware have got to beat back up O lineman.

The D could not stop them when it counted and to me that was the difference in the game. Depending on Romo to win every game is a losing game. Others have to step up on D and they have not.
