Our defense in the 5 playoff losses in last decade

[Mr_437]

Defense wins championships, yet Offense has most of the resources. If you wonder why fans blame Dak is because he has a lot of help and doesn't carry the team. Some blame the Defense, but they haven't had the resources to carry the team.

DT/NT, MLB, and S is the key to a strong defense, yet look at the money these guys are being paid on the Cowboys this season. Cowboys probably would get shredded again vs the run if they were to make it to the Playoffs.

You would think that a team would TIGHTEN up on a part of the season where it's 1 loss and your out, we actually LOSEN up!! We've got to fix this, hopefully CULTURE changes will help us get better in these games!

It’s been said many times the Cowboys run super simple schemes and don’t put any wrinkles in. These stats tell me our coaches are failing us with schemes and being ready.

clearly they have one game plan, and have no thoughts of adjusting as the game goes on, it's a poor way to run a team!!

So you are saying the offense can’t score over 21 points a game.
Sounds like they are part of the problem.

Are you saying you have not watched the Cowboys play? Pretty sure we averaged more than that with Dak injured.

Gin, without doing all the research, I do know in the Jan, 2022 (2021 season) 23-17 loss to the niners at home in the wild card round, we had 14 penalties that day, I seem to remember 5 of them were against the defense for lining up offsides, lol. I think Randy Gregory was the main culprit.

And that's my point. I dont care who the quarterback is. No quarterback can overcome winning a playoff game against a number one ranked 49ers defense in a playoff game.

Yet, Cowboys quarterbacks are expected to. Funny how that works.
