And the truth is, the defense just isn't all that.

Face it, the Cowboys offense, nine times out of ten, makes the opponents offense one dimensional because they have to play catch up.

From here on out, alot of teams defensive philosophy will be to run on offense. Especially pitches to the perimeter, where appearently, Washington saw a weakness and exploited it. Portis would pick a groove and get at least 5 yards or more every time they ran it.

How many of these posts will there be? Why not add it to the other 20 or so threads just like this one.

:horse: This is getting old already. It's one game. The team will adjust (hopefully).

For a minute, I thought this was going to be another TO-bashing thread. *whew*

I think Roy's run support is missed. The good news is that he should be back in a couple of weeks!

It hurts until it changes. Defense needs to step it up and we will see if they do or not then the truth will be known in the end

Because I don't want to.

Why not add your post complaining about posts to the complaining thread?

If we RAN the ball we could've thrown the ball. If we had done BOTH effectively then they would've had to play catch up and not RAN the ball for 100+ yards. It's a hand-shaking thing this game of football.

Its been allll season. We were a Braylon Edwards dropped TD pass from not blowing out the Browns, Philly moved the ball all day in the first half and yesterday was a debacle.

We did play well against GB.

By my count this defense has played 1.5 good games. And I put it all on lack of intensity and passive playcalling. Talent is the last of this defense's concerns.

Funny how this same defense has gotten carved up before, and I didn't see nearly as many posts about the defense sucking. Does anyone remember giving up 5 TDs to the Giants on opening day of 2007? The only difference was that we won that game.

All defenses have bad outings...even the Ravens have had them. Let's see how this team adjusts before we indict everyone on the unit.

But it's been stated a thousand times before. No need to start a new thread on something that's been said.

Thus keeping our high powered offense off the field. If a lot of teams can find a way to win the time of possession battle that is, by far, the best defensive gameplan against our offense.

They say it all the time the best way to stop a great offense, and win, is to keep said great offense off the field.
