They are averaging 21.5 points allowed per game... Our offense is scoring 23 points per game. Beyond that we have a +1 turn over differential in the year. Either our offense is great or our defense isn't that bad... You can't have it both ways.

  • I'm glad durant decided not to retire. He came through in the last 2 plays
  • Good int by church!
  • We need one more good linebacker, and two DEs and this defense would be considerably better.

They definitely stepped in up when we needed them to.

The rest of the game Cousins had more time than Dak to throw, and receivers were open without anyone within 10 yards. We aren't going to be lucky enough to face QB's who play that bad.

I still predict the defense will be #32, or at least bottom 5.

But they got the stops at the most important times. Int in the endzone and 2 stops in the last 5 minutes of the game. Defense help won this game even when offense fumbled they held
We had Cousins miss a ton of golden opportunities today and manning well was just Eli last week. Things don't get fixed we are going to have to score over 30 every game just to be in it.

We had a guy actually make a play to end a drive in Church. Wow!

There's some very silver linings here. Jackson and Reed didn't do anything and they didn't really run it that well and they had a key INT and 6 of the points were given up by the onside kick (had no problem with the call, but Bailey's execution was pitiful) and Zeke's fumble (should be backing up the next game).

Make no mistake, the defense isn't good...but they're also doing it without 3 key players and did a serviceable job today.

From just watching this game and looking at the All-22...Thornton, Carr and Hitchens are killing us on defense.

Yall keep saying that but not a single team has scored 30 points yet. 21 points wins last week and 24 wins this week

Dallas got stops at the most important times against Kirk Cousins - who for the most part was horrific today. Some of his passes were absolutely dreadful.

A decent QB would have won that game for Washington.

Not every team is going to miss as many plays as Washington did today. They left a ton of yards on the field.
That can be said for any team. A play here or there is the difference of a win or lost.

Last week 1 play could have been the difference of a win.

This week Zeke fumbled, that won't happen every week so possible we win by more then we did today. Speculating isn't real.

We made the plays they didn't, stop hating

Who's hating? I don't see a good or even average defense on the field. Apparently you do. It wasn't a play here or there this week. Cousins was horrible 90% of the game. We were lucky he played like crap.
