And they saved this game and possibly the season.

Our #1 offense isn’t enough to carry us anymore. But this opportunistic defense might be.
WE finally have the ability to play complementary football, all 3 phases. Yes, some cleanup work is needed on offense, a little on defense, but they have the ingredients to make a legitimate run this year. Considering how bad the D was last yr, what an amazing job Quinn has done and luck landing Parsons.

Parsons is a game changer . And Diggs. Both additions in last 2 years . Another CB and or safety and it’s a top 10 defense . But we must keep our front 4 healthy.

This team could make a push but I still see Tampa and Green Bay as better but you never know. Maybe our defense can put pressure on arguably 2 best QB’s in the league. They’ll have to or they will shred our secondary.

Our defense has proved with all its starters it can compete and more than hold its own but before we crown them they need to be this solid against a quality team with its starting offense not a 3rd string offense .
Dont get me wrong it was a joy to watch a cowboys defense dominate even if it was the Replacements they were playing .

They need to be able to compete against Brady and Rodgers before we crown them but sure they should look good against the Giants and Skins again . lets see where we are at after the Cards Game that should be a little better test

Yep

The ultimate test will be in the playoffs against the top QB’s in the league. We shall see. But our offense needs to get out of its funk too. Too many mistakes.

Dak is off, but so is the entire offense along with Moore play calling.
Zeke’s knee really needs rest. Two more wins we clinch the division. Maybe he can then sit. As I don’t think HFA will be in play.

Obvious he can’t get a push on short yardage to move the pile all the time. Though he did a little better today.
Cory Clement did what Pollard can do. So wonder what the Pollard slobberers will say.
Still too many dropped passes, and Dak needs to settle down. We know he can do better.

The Defense carried this game, really all game long. Especially in the 2nd half. As they did get a little lax there for a few drives.
