This defense

[crashintonickdm]

What a turnaround without sean lee and pretty much the same personel. are you kidding me? rod marinelli for ACOY.

all we needed was a top 20-25 defense last year to make playoffs, but we were historically bad. and now, with this same personel and a new leader we play hard, and effeciant. sometimes, its ugly, but we never fully break.

we know about the offense, but this defense's turnaround is why were where we are. props to everyone. merry christmas, cowboy fans! happy new year too! ill be in NYC next week for a pub crawl. hopefully will have my cowboy knit hat on!

Finally getting turnovers on defense under Kiffin/Marinelli. The big equalizer

In the past, we'd always be in the bottom-10 of the NFL

This defense lacks many things, what they do not lack is hustle, a no quit mentality and good discipline. I was really glad to see how these guys played today

I still think the Def is below average, but I think they are playing at a level where this team can still be successful despite their warts. They do need some work defending the screen pass.

the defense was just as good as the offense today. 42-0 til mid 4th quarter against the colts and andrew luck? lol again, are you kidding me?

Exactly right.

It shows you what difference consistent hustle and discipline can do.

We haven't seen a defense this disciplined in several seasons.

It's not pretty, but it's getting the job done, for the most part.

Short on talent, big on heart (something I begged for for years).

Would love to add a few more studs before the playoffs, but obviously, we'll have to wait until the offseason — hopefully a short offseason!

Yeah and when opportunity present themselves they capitalize on them because they are hustling and keeping their heads in the game. I think this defense deserves a lot of kudos on this season, it has not been great from a yardage perspective but again they find ways to make the key plays to help this team win.

The offense maintaining long drives and scoring gives them so much energy to swarm to the ball on every single play.. It's a thing of beauty...

Not having as many injuries as the last two years certainly helps.

Thank you Rod! Thank you Jason!!!!

I was expecting the game to come down to last drive, what a pleasant surprise I got from the Defense today.

I don't care the Indy scored, the defense dominated them today

 

[ElGatoGrande]

That DL is finally getting some pressure on opposing QBs the last couple of weeks and Spencer looked good today,,, could it be they're turning the corner just at the right time?
