This defense is built to rush the passer. It’s a passing league. Who is the last team to run the ball effective that won the SB? Our LB’s are a second year player and a Hybrid safety.

DT’s just clog the middle but the LB’s make the plays.

Don’t let this game clog your memory. Arizona this season. Tennessee last year. Houston even. Running QB’s and running games give this D fits.

The good news is only SF in the NFC field runs the ball very well. The 2007 Giants couldn’t stop the run either. But they could rush the passer.

You’re talking to people who still romanticize the 90s brand of football in 2023.

People who like drafting run clogging DTs like Mazi and lumbering linebackers.




The Cowboys with a lead are a completely different team than the Cowboys playing from behind..


Also,

The Allen flop, Sam Williams personal foul, and McCarthy no challenge all were critical moments in the game that we have to figure out how to overcome.

No reason to whine. We’re 10-4. As Mike said you get to keep playing. This defense has always had a ton of flaws, but we’re not going to get a team that’s committed to it until SF.

Don’t forget the hit to the head on Dak where Zach came to his defense. Undisciplined from a vet. Lost a ton of yardage there.

Every defense does.

The NFL isn’t built for teams to be good on defense.

If our offense performs our defense will throttle opposing offenses.

McCaffrey and Deebo would have hit us up for almost 400 yards on the ground today. We better find a solution and quickly!!!

Is Suh still sitting on his couch??

It's designed to create mistakes from the qb. When theat doesn't happen, the 49ers and Buffalo happens.

Tell me about it. This team will never learn. I still have PTSD of freakin CJ Anderson destroying us in the playoffs and Todd gurley went for another 100. Embarrassing

Someone understands the game.

If Sam does not (from coaching or just a hyper moment, we will never know) doesn't jump but instead stays on the foot and blocks the punt? Different game.

You seem unfamiliar with the next opponent - Miami. Their head coach came from SF.

They lead the NFL in yards per rush attempt and are second in rushing yards per game.

The Cowboys will beat the Dolphins next week and you can put it in 72 point Avenir font. The Cowboys were going to lose 1 of these 2 games. Today was that game.

The Sam Williams penalty was probably the change of no return. But I’m not particularly upset about it or pissed at him. He was fantastic position to block the kick and probably pick it up and score. He somehow missed the ball, partly because his rush was biased to the plant leg and not the kicking leg. But I’ll take that chance every time because it’s a block probably 8 out of 10 times.

The penalty that’s inexcusable to me was Tank’s. There was no effort to pull up and then raised his forearm to hit Josh high. I was always a proponent of hitting Eli hard early even if it meant taking a 15 yarder, but that was because it would affect Eli the rest of the game. Tank’s was just a stupid play.

That’s why they lose to SF every time. It’s boggles the mind why so many like DQ.

Yeah.. Zach barely bumped him and he went flying.

Just a weird game with officials just hammering us early.
Buffalo only penalty was where Dak almost got his head taken off during the slide. The other was offsetting with the flop.

Multiple Bad spots
Late holding call
Allen flopping like a....
Somehow not blocking that punt..
Missed fumble

Just weird first half all the way around.

2nd half was just a butt kicking after we decided to go 7 step drop on 3rd and 1.

Oh I know. But it’s all about Tua. Fortunately for us the Oline is beat up. Mosert and Achane are coming but it’s about that passing game. He’s not Allen and his running around thing
