The defense was terrible thread

[Gaede]

Tired maybe? Playing with that much reckless abandon pays a toll eventually. They were much less effective in second half, wearing down series after Murray's 50 harder and 2 quick missed passes into end zone. Struggled more getting off field after that.

This is exactly what happened. Eventually, hussle only takes you so far. And if you're not getting help from the other side of the ball, it won't be long until you tire.

McClain, in particular, looked slow all night.

Lots of missed tackles from our secondary as well. Church was terrible.

The defense really needs the bye week, IMO.

Hype machine is overblown. Maybe we can go back under the radar. We're two plays from being 4-4. Same old team. This time, no magic to pull us out.

Poor play all around. We were sleep walking. We thought we would roll over these guys.

I said that this game was a measuring stick. Quality teams were blowing out weaker ones this weekend. We got stompled by a 2-5 team. Gives us an indication as to our pecking order.

Can we stop any talk of playoffs and Super Bowls? It's ridiculous.

The Skins 2nd half strategy was sound. Short passes, run, and the occasional bomb to Jackson. It worked. It kept 3rd down manageable for the Skins, and our D couldn't get them off the field.

Skins just gave the blue print to beat our D. The dink and dunk killed us.

Taking the middle ground seems appropriate here. We took a step backwards but are still in the hunt (obviously). Hard to say how things will play out given our smoke and mirrors D and the continued hammering that Romo is taking. Wouldn't it be fun if it all came down to the last game of the season in Washington.

Now you are making things up to fit your argument, the fumbles were drive killers and they weren't his fault, you said this offense isn't elite and based that off a game where the QB had to come out and numb his back, thats just dumb. They got off to a bad start and he couldn't get them back into for a couple of reasons. Who exactly are the "elite" offenses in the league?

I'm convinced now that either you really don't know how to read or you are just a troll.

My post was that offense had more to do with the loss than the defense. And you make a dumb comment and now you are trying to cover it up by trying to make this into Weeden vs Romo. So who is making stuff up now?

 

[Toruk_Makto]

Yeah but what's ironic is the offense moved the ball easier on Weeden's 2 drives than at any other point of the game.

Well we scored a td with Romo. And then move inside the 10 with Romo. And then Murray fumbles. Oh and another Romo drive ended with a Randle fumble.

And the Commanders dominated TOP. Romo actually didn't get many opportunities. That weren't squandered because of our rbs.

Child please

It wasn't great but if your defense only gives up 17 points in regulation, you should win the game if your offense is supposed to be elite.

You are the only one making dumb comments, Murray goes over a 100 to extend a record that lasted half a century and this isn't an elite top tier offense? Keep dreamy skippy and make sure you be a good boy for Santa, I'm sure you'll get all you ask for. Great job on listing the teams you think have elite O's by the way. If Murray could dodge tackles the way you dodge questions he'd be closing in on 2000 already. Dez had a bad day, Romo got injured, the line may have gotten exposed but I think they learn from it, to say they are suddenly not one of the best in the league is the talk of crazy hater drunk on haterade, ejaculating his venom on to the masses. One game does not a bad team make.

This defense is terrible if it doesn't force turnovers.

LOL Thanks for making my day.

Church was awful last night. Never seen him play worse.

And by guy McClain was a huge disappointment. Tons of missed tackles.

We made that scrub QB look like Peyton Manning in the second half. Just terrible.

It's obvious that if the offense can't control the ball for 33+ minutes a game, this defense gets exposed.

 

[BAZ]

The desperation off your posts reeks like cheap cologne. Again and again I have asked you to list who are elite and you have just slid further down the path of desperate troll allegations. Wipe that tear from your eye and sleep it off, get me next time slugger. You fought a good decent acceptable long fight, you fought a long fight and have stamina for days.

You are right. When it comes to trolling, you are the big winner.

It's obvious you don't know anything about football because all you do is make up dumb stories instead of answering football questions.

See now you are just trying to use my own argument against me, while you are attempting a Jedi mind trick its coming across as a got your nose type affair. I ain't buying what you are peddlin'. Look clearly you can't let this go because admitting you overacted and spoke too soon and too strong would make you less of a man to a bunch of internet strangers. While admirable it's also insane. For example based on our back and forth I'm not sure you are an elite poster, but in the insanity man, never back down, I will defend my silly point to the death ranks, you are the king of kings, sitting on the throne unmolested. Historians will tell great tales of "he just couldn't let it go, and that why we honor him so".

It was like watching last years defense last night. Once again the Cowboys allowed an average QB to look like an elite QB. One prediction I made prior to the season that I have gotten right so far is the Cowboys defense wouldn't have many sacks. The Cowboys inability to put the QB on the ground could end up being the downfall of this team by the end of the season. They simply couldn't get McCoy on the ground allowing him to escape and make plays. On Washington's first drive the Cowboys had McCoy in their grasp on a 3rd down play and a sack would have knocked the Skins out of FG range.

McCoy was able to get the ball off for an incompletion allowing Washington to take an early 3-0 lead. All night the defense missed tackles and couldn't corral McCoy. He looked as cool as a cucumber in OT directing traffic while lofting a pass over defenders to his receiver which led to the go ahead and eventual winning FG. With Durant out for the season the defense could start to crumble. When it came down to crunch time the defense couldn't stop McCoy or Morris. Whatever confidence I gained in the Cowboys this season a lot of it was lost last night.

Stop it with your silly stories clown. If you are going to make up stories, at least make it believable.

I wasn't the only one who called you out on Romo getting injured excuse.
You made a dumb comment and people call you out on it and now you are just trolling to cover up your stupidity.
