Stop trying to convince realists the defense is fine

against AJ Feely and Kurt Warner, not Hall of Famers

8 years ago Warner was Hall of Fame bound but then he turned into a two year wonder.

Is that kind of like how Golden Earring was a 2 hit wonder with Radar Love and then 8-10 years later with Twilight Zone?

Better than being Elvis Grbac/ Flock of Seagulls I suppose.

this board is hilarious sometimes, it's like a huge jump-to-conclusions mat manifested in the form of a NFL sports team fan forum. Apparently it's impossible to be happy that the cowboys are 12-1 and offer constructive criticism and/or concern of a certain facet of the game at the same time..

Seriously. At 12-1, there's not enough to be concerned about to justify all of the negative threads and negative posts.

Maybe if the concern was manifest gradually, or after convincing victories, rather than the way it comes out--uncontrollable, emotional diarrhea--the rest of the posters on the board would be more sympathetic and willing to consider the criticism.

Every one has a right to their opinion. My opinion is this defense is not very good and I don't care what the stats say.

Solid plan.

I suppose you don't care what the Win/Loss record say as well.

I'm with you. I feel the same way about the Pats' offense.

how anybody can look at that game and come away saying "**it happens" is just mind blowing. Before the game we all talked about how much pain Kitna would feel because he was the most sacked QB in the NFL...we talked about their anemic rush offense. Then after they shoved anywhere it would fit...some of us now want to say "that's ok, we won, move on"

You cannot have it both ways. Our defense will go as far as this offense carries them...period! And anyone that cannot see that is blind or in denial.

Name a current top team for which this is NOT true.

You are taking 1 poorly played game and dumping it on the entire season. Dallas D did not play great yesterday no doubt about it but they made the plays when they needed them the most. They held strong in some goal line situations and forced the Lions into FG instead of giving up the TD. When the Lions were in a position to run out the clock the defense stood up and made the plays to force them to punt. There is no denial taking place but there is some over reactions taking place.

What does our record have to do with our defense almost losing the game for us? If Romo was not the baddest mofo around you apologists would be singing a different tune.

They played good at the end of the game no doubt. But they lost the NE game for us and let GB back in the game. They cannot keep a lead if their lives depended on it. They are also the worst 3rd and long defense I have ever seen.

If the defense did not hold up at the end and force the Punt, Romo does not get the chance to win the game. Dallas was out of time outs and with a little over 2 min to play all Det needed was 1st down. The D stood up and got the job done in the end. Overall yes it was a bad day but to overlook the caracter of this unit is a bit short sighted. How many times in the past did this unit fail to make a big stand in critical stages of the game?

I see where your going but I think in the case of Dallas our defense cannot hold a lead. I am joking here it is almost like they blow the lead to build the legend of Romo

dude they were first and goal at the 1 and kicked a field goal. They were first and 10 at the 13 and kicked a fg and missed...

we win the game by one. they scored 7 points in the second half. They caught us offguard, wade said today they came out two tight end looks and had the fullback active for the first time all year.

We were expecting 3 wide. Give em a break.

We played poorly but not terrible and good enough when they needed to be to force field goals, which is all they have to do with our offense.
