Turnovers are the problem

[IrishAnto]

this is pretty much the story of this season so far

It’s the story of EVERY season.

The cowboys offense commits too many.

the cowboys defense never forces any.


#1 reason they are 1-3.


Cowboys defense is on pace to be dead last in forced turnovers. You can’t win football games without getting some turnovers. It’s going to kill the team all season long if it doesn’t change.

Defense is going to be bad for the entire year. Nolan's lame scheme is one reason. The lack of talent and injuries is another.

We are getting man-handled at the LOS on both sides of the ball.

I bet the FO is regretting Callahan go in 2016.

And to add salt to a bleeding wound, Eberflus has the Colts defense ranked #1.

This is what happens when you keep bad coaches for so long.

Spot on. We can't even spell complementary football, much less play it.

We know this defense is historically bad. This places an immense amount of pressure on the offense to be perfect. The result? They regularly cough up the ball 3 times.

Look at this game. Cowboys were down by 3 with 3 minutes left.

one turnover by the defense and the game could have been totally different with the cowboys having a lead at the end.

just one turnover by the defense. And they can’t do it.

I mean they don’t even knock the ball loose and force fumbles.

He has to stop fumbling. Has to.

I was told he was the least of our problems yet he gifted the other team a TD which changed the entire course of the game. Total waste of money.

zeke is good at turnovers, maybe he can play defense

3 turnovers is a lot, especially when the Browns had none. It's a different game if the turnover count is just even.

I can accept the fact their not getting turnovers but they can't be giving the ball away and making every browns backup RB look like Bo Jackson.

 

[Williamsboys]

After reading this thread and the comments I think what we need to do is "turnover" our defense.

Last season the bottom 10 teams
At forcing turnovers didn’t make the playoffs.


Good teams need to force turnovers. The cowboys will not be a good team until they start forcing turnovers.

 

[TheCoolFan]

These are preventable turnovers too. Interceptions will happen but fumbles are unacceptable. Zeke barely got hit and still coughed it up. On the Dak strip sack, the inability to see that Myles Garrett has a 1 on 1 matchup vs. an undrafted rookie RT is just a failure at all levels. If Kellen wasn't smart enough to realize it then Dak should have. Do you think Aaron Rodgers is gonna stand there and let one of the league's best pass rushers constantly attack his OL like that? No, he will audible out of that playcall or slide his protection.

I hear ya.

 

[Lutonio]

The defense has not created turnovers for years.

The offensive turnovers are new. Three weeks in a row they have looked like that. That’s bad coaching when you fumble so much.

 

[cowboysfan99]

It’s crazy they can’t even force a single fumble.

Of course our last two first round picks went to WRs, we foolishly spent a top 5 pick on a RB, and they picked Taco over T.J. Watt.

You're absolutely right! If not for Dak's Turnover we would've only been down by 42pts. Our QB sucks right?

 

[stilltheguru]

Sign Rex Ryan next year as D coordinator lol

Our RB is much more of a waste of money.

 

[Big D]

Our RB is much more of a waste of money.

as well as the entire LB corps

we should be able to overcome those....this offense is aggressive and explosive....turn overs sometimes come with the territory.....but this defense can never get the ball back....

 

[CarolinaFathead]

I don’t think it’s hyperbolic to say that this defense is in the argument for the worst defense ever in the history of the league.

I mean seriously..

We got pushed around today like you’d see when a high school private school powerhouse plays a rural school with a graduating class of 50.

this is going to take several drafts to fix.

and we still have huge o-line issues as well...
