What happened to this Cowboys defense?

Feel like they were pretty overrated all season. Good, but not great.

Injuries down the stretch didn’t help.

They are good enough to win and they have excellent coaching.

The defense fell off due to injuries and Parsons wearing down as the season goes on. Once Parsons started tiring down and being neutralized, our pass rush disappeared. Anthony Brown’s injury had a big impact on our secondary. Our pass defense has fallen apart due to our lack of pressure and poor coverage. Having to rotate corners to try and find an answer has created a big problem.

So a couple of days ago i said to myself i won't get hyped up until at least the NFCCG. I asked myself why get hyped up too early? One win, or two wins, or even three wins, is still one win shy. I guess for some younger fans maybe they never seen a playoff run by the Cowboys, and they will take what they can get, i don't blame you, but i have seen it, so 2 or 3 playoff wins doesn't really mean that much to me as a older Cowboys fan.

When i woke up this morning i was almost immediately thinking about the game as if this is the first time i'm going to see the Cowboys in the playoffs. The hyped rush of energy consumed me. Afterwards I had a few errands to run and none of them went smoothly. I'm starting to think that this game tonight will also not go without a few bumps, maybe more than a few.

Some part of the Cowboy's team will have to carry the rest of them team if it unfolds this way.

If you asked me 2 or 3 months ago i would've said, No problem the defense will do it.

What happened to this Cowboys defense? Can they be counted on to carry the team through what could be 4 very difficult games?

Let's go Cowboys!

Sheesh…..I’ve been a fan since 1966, and I’ll be ecstatic if we get 1 playoff win this year. Our OL is a mess, we have only 1 wr, and we lost 2 of our 3 starting CBs on what was a thin group to begin with. I just want a playoff win. I’ll think about next week later.

As for those 70’s and 90’s teams that had playoff runs to the SB. Every game was emotionally draining. It was never ever easy to get to the SB.
