The Defense Got Cooked On Outside Runs

[Kumala808]

Bryan B, said many people were out of position, same kind of issues that occured in the past. Plus you had guys playing new positions or just coming back like wilson

How do you know the D sucks by 1 game? Did you think the D sucked in the first 2 games? The entire team was not prepared took this game lightly and got punched in the mouth. Even the coaching staff took it off including resting 3 Olineman that in my mind could have played if it was against a tougher opponent.. This team and D is far from over. Don't be surprised if we lay into the Patriots.

Where did I say our D sucks? I said it’s not as good as everyone thought it was and that our run D is still an issue. After the first two games I said our defense looks terrific, but that I still wasn’t sold on it. There was one fan on the board saying it was already on par with the 85 Bears defense. Lol Championship teams don’t get punished by teams that are two TD underdogs and are ranked 32 in the power rankings. There’s a chance they might destroy the Pats, because every time the Cowboys get embarrassed, they get pissed off and usually follow it up with an impressive performance. The season isn’t over, but this Cowboys team doesn’t appear to be any different than previous Cowboys teams that ended up disappointing us in the end. Every time we think they have a great team they get exposed and manhandled by a bad team with an average QB. You can almost bet the game against the Cardinals will come back to haunt the Cowboys at the end of the season. It may cost them a playoff spot, the division title or a home playoff game. The Cowboys are not committed to being a great team and don’t fit the MO of a championship team.

But we were told Mazi is a bust...

Mazi had 12 snaps

Mazi had 12 snaps

Typically DT's have very little impact in year one. I know fans expect more from a first round pick but it's going to take time for Smith.

The typical KJJ overexaggeration that makes his statement not be true. I can go through the last 15 SB winners and virtually every one of them all lost a game to a scrub team that didn't make the playoffs that year. It happens every year.

It’s not the talent…. It’s the scheme. Why in the hell were we rushing the passer like dobbs was gonna drop back 30 times. He only threw it 21 times and If anything all his throws were safe.

Yet our guys are out there hunting sacks. You simply cannot do that if the other team isn’t going to allow it. If anything stopping the run early gives you more opportunities.

Against teams that can run a lot of that misdirection stuff you have to stay disciplined… and we weren’t. And what confirms that for me is the second half we did a better job containing everything.

It’s been like this for years under Quinn… and if we wanna beat the 49ers and eagles it better change quick.

Go find a Super Bowl winner that lost by 2 TDs to a winless team that was a 2 TD underdog. The Cowboys are the only team all season that was favored by 2 TDs and they lost. The Cowboys never even held the lead to a team was dead last in most of the power rankings. The Cardinals had 181 rushing yards at halftime. That was the most rushing yards in an half against a Cowboys defense in 32 years. None of that is an over exaggeration.
