The $60 Million Dollar Man Can't Fix the Defense from Getting Dog Walked

In his defense, which I rarely do, they lead the league in sacks. Why were we dropping back and waiting for things to open up down the field?
Because Dak has been standing upright the whole year... and now he played a good defense, and not scrubs like what this defense plays like, and he went back to his typical play against good teams...
 
Here's a good lesson how about last night's game kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes had two interceptions also two fumbles from two other players on offense they had four offensive turnovers only gave up seven points won that game going away and that's something when your offense doesn't have to be perfect and you can still win a game.... Could have won that game with 10 points because their defense only gave up seven points even with all the turnovers I didn't hear the excuses on how the defense was tired and the short fields and blah blah blah...
That was one of the scrub teams that didn't have any WRs that Dak played against the game before... even when you play that bad against a scrub team, you can blow them out. That's Dak's career in a nutshell against the NFC East and a bunch of other scrubs at home, when the opponent is half-blided by the sun in that stadium...
 
Didn’t even think it through before you hit “post” huh.. lol.
 
That's kinda the expectation when you pay your QB $60mm/year and eat up 25% of the cap space.
We had over 30 million in Cap space we didn’t use this year.

While Dak isn’t Elite to carry a defense like this we virtually have no chance without him.
 
Mahomes isn't looking too good either at this moment. So? Let's get rid of Mahomes-chief fans :facepalm: That's why they call it a team sport:rolleyes:
If Mahomes was in year 10 of a dumbed down offense, being baby sat year in and year, and won absolutely nothing while doing it, maybe you would have a point. But he isn't, so you don't.

Plus, Mahomes OL has been playing way worse than ours is.
 
Jerry pushed his chips all in on Dak in hopes that he can throw this team into the playoffs. Its not feasible. Dak can't do it week in week out. This defense is the reason why this team is getting dog walked around the field weekly.

If Dak can't lead this offense to 35 points, Dallas can't win.

He can atleast try to play error free against better defenses and maximise scores.
 
That he cannot. He can, however, try to fix how well he plays against top 10 defenses.

With the exception of Green Bay, every team we played before yesterday is in the bottom half of the NFL in team defense, hence why he has looked so good.

Yesterday was the defense's fault mainly, not denying that. But Dak again played the way he normally plays when a good defense is on the other side of the ball.
That's because his offensive line got destroyed there was no run game his tight end didn't even get one catch They weren't getting open as much he was trying to find them but either they were playing behind the chains I mean what exactly were you looking at as usual he put up 21st half points against the Eagles on the road against the Super Bowl champions who have a pretty good defense it's not his fault all the drop passes in the second half are we going to keep doing this the fumbles the drop passes the bad play by the offensive line or when you can't run the football just like in the Carolina game they couldn't run the football but he still got the team 27 points and that should have been enough..

I don't care who you're playing, if your offensive line gets dog walked, and gives up all the penalties, and has on many occasions, on Sunday against Denver had two guys running free at Prescott, and he's supposed to play well??!!!

are you guys Oh not in a properly ventilated place, while staining your cabinets??!!!

because that's what it sounds like you don't realize that everything you're talking about in the games he has not played well it's been the same They don't have a run game the offensive line's getting a ton of penalties, They had no run game ,and the defense can't stop the run, they're not consistently getting open, or they're dropping passes,

it's the same you're right but it's not on Prescott it's the rest of the offense wasn't there how is he expected to play better than the sum of his parts?

Let's get the context correct and use proper perspective on what you saw and what you think you saw as a matter of fact the 2nd interception somebody was supposed to be there prescott doesn't throw the ball where there's zero players wearing blue and white or silver and white whatever you want to call it It looked like somebody went off script or they read it wrong and the receiver thought it should go up instead the quarterback thought it should stop I don't know if they have that in their offense where they're reading whether they should turn around and do a hitch or take off running towards the end zone because somebody and it looks like Lamb who did that in the Packer game in 2023 where are you supposed to continue across the field and instead stops and heads for the end zone but ball's already out too late...

We want to have these conversations you're going to get this from me every time whether you want to read it or not it's a fact yes Prescott looks bad in games where the rest of his offense looks bad yes you're right not on him though kind of hard to play quarterback in that scenario,..

And when he looks over and needs that scored 35 points to win a game you do start pressing and start thinking you know what i'm going to have to start taking more chances it happens The fact that you ought to blame him for his bad games without perspective and context is ridiculous you're fought out wrong if you have something else to bring with him on offense and defense he will perform well..

He can’t throw his receivers open.

You know what i'm not even reading that because you didn't even reply to what I said you just want to be on the hate train the Cowboys had zero turnovers on offense and don't walk that Washington defense patrick Mahomes had two interceptions and they also had two fumbles from the offense they had four turnovers against Washington and still only gave up seven points on defense that's it in total for the game Disappoint that Patrick Mahomes actually played worse than Prescott against the same team you calling scrubs you're making my point for me Prescott had a better game they put up more points but the defense that's the problem it's been the problem but the offensive line Sunday was horrible there was no run game this is why have you guys on ignore you guys have no football knowledge whatsoever you don't understand the trenches and how to watch a game and then actually keep your hate goggles out of it Prescott did not have a bad game against Denver his offense had a bad game You see the difference it's a team game they couldn't block they couldn't run they weren't getting open And yet you're blaming him are you serious patrick Mahomes and that offense had four turnovers and they still only gave up seven points that's the deal they could have still beat Denver if they'd had any kind of defense..

Our office isn't allowed to have a bad day and have a low scoring day because they never win a game with that defense that's the point you don't get it but I do this is played in the trenches and we lost in the trenches both sides of the ball it's all Prescott's fault they were third and 18 like a bunch of times where I had to go to fourth down because they couldn't even get one yard pumped it on 4th and 1 and 4th and 5 that was because of the offensive line in the run game it wasn't good enough..

I don't believe that at all. Jerry just wants to entertain fans. He is not trying to win. How else do you explain no legit effort to fix this defense.

If he signs Pickens that tells you all you need to know.

Everyone needs to point the real finger at what is killing this team, and that's our GM. There isn't one GM in the league that is as old or as senile as ours. Until the Boys get a real NFL GM, NOTHING is going to change, NOTHING!
 
Raise your hand if you think Jerry and Company would actually spend money on helping this defense if we had Patrick Mahomes on a 7th Round Rookie contract.

<Takes a look around\>

Yeah, I didn't think so. This isn't we paid the QB too much money. This is a our owner is also the GM so he doesn't like to spend money problem.

They are not the same.

In our 4 losses, Dak has led us to 17 total points in the second half of those games.

It's not all the defense. Mostly, but not all.

Play calling can help. Schotty is like Reid, but Dak ain't Mahomes. What's bad is, against the Broncos, he should have had a different game plan. Especially since he was using 2 RBs. Like I said, They lead the NFL in sacks. You don't simply ignore that when you're installing the offense. I guess he was planning on a shoot out. That's all I can think of.
 
We had over 30 million in Cap space we didn’t use this year.

While Dak isn’t Elite to carry a defense like this we virtually have no chance without him.
We have no chance with him...he wants to be paid like the best but also have the best team.

Consider my hand raised. Jerry's crazy, not stupid.
 
But the thing is he's tried he just can't do it week in and week out he scored 40 against Green Bay with no help from the defense there was no defensive scorers there was no big run backs for scores this was all offense they did it in the Giants game 37 points so yeah Prescott's been putting up enough points that they should be able to win outside of the Bears game which by the way kind of hard to complain when you're having people drop passes and fumble Create turnovers by having interceptions bounce off someone's hands all those drops in the Philadelphia game I mean Prescott's doing his best and yet they're still gonna actually have haters come on here and say that he caved under pressure Sunday against Denver and calling out Prescott really 'cause what I saw is a terrible offensive line a terrible defense the play calling was suspect they couldn't really run the football effectively Hell our tight end didn't even have one catch our starting tight end they had to have six attempts at the goal line to score 1 yard to get in by the help of a penalty all the penalties on the offensive line Seriously I think that's the point of this it doesn't matter the pressure on the quarterback just have to score 30 to 40 points a game will make it tough to play well every game when the game's starting to go sideways you're gonna start to force the ball..

So yeah there's nothing wrong with Jerry thinking he can't because he's already has but you just can't do it for 17 weeks jerrys not playing defense matt defenses are terrible and they need to be fixed how it gets fixed i'm tired of reading about it and talking about it we all know where the problems are I don't know if firing him is going to work or not I don't know adding some players that are on the free agent market and getting some of ours back will help I don't know But Prescott has had a great season and he doesn't deserve any of the nonsense that he's getting from the Denver game with how bad the opposite line in the run game were it just wasn't the Cowboys day was a team effort in losing pointing out the quarterback is stupid..

If you read this far let me give you a tidbit from yesterday Monday Night Football Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes two interceptions Two other players fumble they had four turnovers on offense and they only gave up seven points the Kansas City Chiefs won like 28 to seven isn't that something when your offense isn't perfect and yet they still win it's still basically a blowout that the defense held on all those turnovers I believe except for one...

that's what a real team looks like they don't expect the offense to be perfect.. I like to point these things out because people forget Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions and threw two interceptions to the Super Bowl and they still won the Super Bowl but people want to point out our quarterback needs to play perfect and he will be the reason we lost if he throws a couple of picks which won by the way CD lamb or somebody broke the route off and went off script because he didn't throw the ball to air there was nobody in sight somebody was supposed to be there...

rant over!!.
Nobody expects Dak to play perfectly. Especially people who aren't Dak fans. It's the ones who defend him all the time and act like no matter how bad he does play blame everyone else who think Dak is perfect. This was Dak how the rest of us see him.

Could have won that game with 10 points because their defense only gave up seven points even with all the turnovers I didn't hear the excuses on how the defense was tired and the short fields and blah blah blah...
Also can't win if Dak is going to score 10 points through 3 qtrs and he's going to throw it to the other team. And both those picks were all on Dak. Both those picks were bad. First one the receiver was doubled and it was short and the second one he completely misread the defense.
