You need a great offense and a great defense to win a Super Bowl

maybe dak's boyfriend zeke can give him some money.

Heard Zeke had a bad case of gas and Dak ended up with a nosebleed.
Yes, is it a coincidence that Dak has befriended #21?
Prescott 666....King of the PR and a pauper QB.

Brady made everyone on his team better.
.
Dak puts up some good numbers, but I've yet to see the other things that make a player great....at least I don't see why he's worth $40,000,000.00 per .....
.
If Dak is worth $40, Brady must be worth at least $160.

How did Brady make everyone on the D better? As for Dak, the offense was #1 in spite of Zeke, & the D finished at the bottom.

How did Brady make everyone on the D better? .

Didn't I say he brought a lot of intangibles with him to TB?

Ok, but how did that make the D better? It's cool. Peace.

 

[Shane612]

Exactly what.... other things?

Seriously.....coach.

Are you the only one that doesn't believe things chemistry and leadership doesn't matter?

 

[Shane612]

Maybe his work ethics, demeanor, and experience inspired them to play at a higher level.

Man needing a 43 year old to inspire you to play better.

Are you the only one that doesn't believe things chemistry and leadership doesn't matter?

Are you the only one who cannot answer a question?

 

[Proof]

Funny how that perfect storm happen just when Brady got there.

uhh because he’s extremely talented. I just don’t think it is leadership personally. Also you do understand what “perfect storm” means, yes?

How to build a dynasty by the NE Patriots. You get a tall pure pocket passer who can take care of the ball and match him with a big physical defense.

What did the Bucs have last year? A tall pure pocket passer who could take care of the ball and a big physical defense.

What's big and physical about Dallas' defense? Nothing! We have a finesse defense that's designed to get after the passer. But they can't even do that!

The Cowboys definitely need a better defense but I agree with you about Dak. He puts up good numbers but the OP stating they had the #1 or #2 offense doesnt match up with whats really happening on the field. Dak throttles the bad teams and just struggles to score against the better teams until the game is outta hand and than pads his stats. Its not intentional by any means it just ends up that way.

 

[Ranched]

for some reason something was missing...

Coaching! Garrett had a decade to prove himself w/some great players & failed. Switzer was the last championship w/Jimmy's team. He couldn't keep the team going & was fired along w/Tuna, Campo etc....

Dak needs Zeke & the running game to show up against those so called good teams. Zeke is usually a no show. Aikman had Emmitt who showed up. Zeke rarely does.

We all know of the Cowboys futility for the past 25-26 years. It all started when Jerry and Jimmy couldn’t get along and Jimmy left. Jerry said he could win with 500 other coaches and hired the idiot Switzer and Jerry claimed victory. Yeah, that didn’t last long. Having, Troy, Michael, Emmitt, and that awesome offensive line doesn’t happen very often. Now so many years later here we are with arguably an even better offense than what we had in the early 90’s. It’s a different league now with the emphasis on the passing game. With a healthy QB our offense has been #1 in the NFL for the last 2 years. Injuries to the offensive line and QB sunk our 2020 season. Can’t win in the NFL with a mediocre offense and a terrible defense. We had both when Tyron, Collins, Fred and eventually Dak went down. The bottom line is that you need both a great offense AND a great defense to win a Super Bowl. Brady didn’t win the SB this year. His defense did. Brady only threw for 201 yards. But he had 3 td’s. So you need both a good QB, offensive line but more importantly you need a better than average defense. We haven’t had that for many, many years. If Jerry doesn’t do something about the defense this offseason then Brady at his prime couldn’t win here.

Holy amazing revelations. I just learned something today: a great offense and defense can help you win games. Thank you so much for your wealth of football knowledge.

Guys relax be patient the nfl is almost done telling their chosen goat's story and the boys time will come again they are not going to let the leagues biggest draw be mediocre forever.

 

[noshame]

Offense is better than the 90s?
Laughable.
Defenses suck and are strapped with rules .
The 90s Offense would cut through today's Defenses like a hot knife through butter
If Brady played here we'd have at least 2 more bowls.

 

[jazzcat22]

If Dallas could just get lucky enough to field an above average defense, they could easily have the ability to sniff a conference title game.

The current process we have for evaluating defensive talent is broken. Has been since Parcells left. But the reality is that NFL decision makers are hilariously simple minded and stubborn people.

Actually Parcells broke it when he went to the 3-4.

The Bucs don't have a great defense.

There's a lot of hate coming your way for speaking the truth, he also glossed over the fact that the Cowboys had a D ranked 9 to 11th in 2019 and They made it to 8-8 with that #2 Offense and great leadership and missed the play offs. The OP love affair with Dak and his simplistic agenda driven posts get old. Can you imagine that a great D and and a great O are needed to have a chance to get to the SB. Good thing the CZ has Rockstein to point out that.

 

[BigStar]

That offensive ranking is misleading, we never go toe to toe with a good team; matching them score by score until the end of the game. They go up 3 scores and then we conjure up a 2nd half of stats that get us to within 10 pts. Tons of yardage, rarely any that have any impact when the game is in play.

The way people describe this offense you would think we were the greatest show on turf with Kurt Warner when we're rarely even in the game when it matters...we'll come back at the end to make it look respectable, but never give you a full hard fought game.
