You want to fix Dallas? Fix the Defense!

[starfan1]

The last 2 out of 3 playoff years. We can't stop the run and got Boat Raced 2 of those 3 times. But all I read is Dak..Dak...Dak... I wish Dak were our only problem Well over 400 yards in 3 playoff games...Yea,....Dak ...you can't stop the run

fans want their puond of flesh and i get it Dak dont help matters in big games but this defense is the biggest problem this team has. That and untimely penalties

I dont think he is denying that. you do realize that dak gifted them 7 not 14. They had an opportunity to stop them on the other pick and did not and that was essentially the tone that was set from jump street. The defense was like swiss cheese and the worst part of the team along with dak.

this defense has been like this going all the way back to romo days when you need a big stop more often than it dont happen. Bad complimenatry football on both sides

When the QB gifts the other team the ball in the red zone, that is clearly on the QB.

The D sucked too, BTW, possibly worse than Dak, though that is obviously debateable.

OMG, some things never change.
Hey, Ice when we held the Niners to 19 and 23 points in the playoffs we lost because of the defense?
Man.........

The culture... its has to change or no other change will matter...Why are we having to beg our WR to get his head in a playoff game...its ridiculous...

I'm starting to get the impression that Lamb is extremely frustrated w/ Dak.

How many other quarterbacks still playing gave up 7? Get Real, man. If Dak would of played flawless we still would of got boat raced. Luckily Dak got the empty calories to make it look even respectable. Anybody under Dak -GB probably gets 70!

Agreed...McCarthy had to go down there and talk to him..... I'm in no way saying Dak is not part of the problem. But some in here want to make Dak cancer vs a toothache in this body called the Cowboys.

I aint blaming the defense for the pick.Im blaming them for not stopping the other team. which they didnt do ALL day. and BTW if it was our guy playing defense that PI gets called 80% of the time

 

[CowboyStar88]

Ah yes, 13-21 87 yards with 2 ints while the game was still within reach, but sure the defense once fixed will fix that. His playoff stats in the first half are atrocious. You are what you are 8-9 years into the league. He doesn’t get it done.

 

[IceStar-D7]

I want to win!!!! If getting rid of Dak is the answer? Then go for it...But it's not! It'll just make the problem worse and we'd be right back in the years before Romo came Only thing that stays the same?? Jerry dumbazzz Jones and horrible defenses.

It's possible, but it's also possible if he doesn't play horrifically that we would've been in the game until the end.

So..again you dont get to sit out of the playoff game because you dont like the QB..thats a horrible culture, you think Jimmy would've been over there like "Hey CD whats wrong little guy??? I need you to put your big boy pants on a play the rest of the game"..hell no he would've showed him the showers then off to cleveland...

Correct. Same as blaming Dak for playing so badly. The both sucked.

 

[Sheepherder]

Fix the defense
Fix the HC
Fix the QB
Fix the culture
Fix the GM

You only fix one, you get another lackluster season. You had better, at a minimum, change three of

We all know you hate Dak....he played like crap.....but you can't tell me the defense played well THIS YEAR! Now go do your homework

 

[StarBoyz83]

Gonna need the 85 bears or 2000ish ravens defense to make up for the offense going awol 2-3 quarters a lot lol

 

[IceStar-D7]

I said we got boat raced...2 of the 3 games.....And if the defense were better? And didn't give the Niners 23....WE win!!! You Think????How many times have Dak pulled the defense azzes out the frying pan???? The lest they can do is help him sometimes

 

[Sheepherder]

Fix the culture first.

In the playoffs, that would be zero.

We were out of the game from the start. The defense was horrific for 4 quarters. They were responsible for at least 34 of the points given up. That's not playoff defense. And the offense was no better.
