Thru 16 Weeks: Dallas Has Most Takeaways

[Texas_Pete]

Leads the NFL in INTs (25). 2nd in the NFL in differential (+14) behind GB.

Leading the NFL in picks is key. This is a passing league.

And when was the last time the Cowboys went 4-0 in December (including 3-0 on the road) ? I think our defense is real Zoners.

Last night we didn't have Jourdan Lewis, Malik Hooker or Trysten Hill either.

NFL media tryna throw shade, but I don't care that WFT was not that good. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in 1991, the Cowboys won 1 game. Who'd they beat? The SB Champion Commanders. We beat down a hated rival. Put some respeck on these Cowboys.

Yeah already been hearing the idiot pundits making excuse about the wins the past 4 weeks. And how the defense has not faced an elite QB.
You know, sounds like the trolls and haters on here. Moving around the goal posts as usual.

It's funny to me. Dallas went toe to toe with Tampa and was robbed at the end. Loss by 3.

Dallas went into Arrowhead and held Mahomeboy to 19 points. If Dak has even an average game, we win. Mahomeboy was on fire ever since, but not against us.

I ain't scared of Aaron Rodgers either. Not with how the front 7 is playing.

Actually, you're wrong. We went 1-15 in 1989. We beat the Washington Commanders but San Francisco won the Super Bowl that year.
But we did ruin Washington's quest for the perfect season in 1991 - a game John Madden said was the best coached game he ever saw (or something to that effect). The Skins later went on to lose to the Eagles, but that was a meaningless game because the Skins had clinched home-field advantage by that time.

This is an astonishing turnaround from last year (and prior years) when they couldn't buy a turnover. The thing is now they are playing with so much confidence and attitude. I hope they can keep this up for 5 more games.

Remember the “wait until the luck dries up and we don’t have turnovers” crowd? They questioned Digg’s streak and the whole defense as a whole. Glad that’s not a narrative anymore and we’ve accepted this as the norm.

Not the smashing offense but the opportunistic , punishing Defense give me more hope for the playoffs , we will go a long way .

once playoffs start, we are going to see more balanced teams in offense and defense and so having a above average defense makes the case for shorter fields ( field position) and some confidence in holding the lead etc. If offense continues to gel and hit on all cylinders , even with better Ds such as TB, Zona and Rams we can still do some damage.

Thank you. My memory is a bit fuzzy. This is a Division game, heated rivalry, nationally televised game. They would have been in the hunt for a playoff spot if they beat us. We stomped them out. It was glorious.
