@SF 19-13 defense was fixed QB wasn't.
There's the problem.......when talking about the flaws of the defense, we end up talking about the QB. And when the QB puts up numbers in a shoot-out, we keep quiet about the defense.

Dak is going nowhere it’s a haters pipe dream. But I ain’t opposed to drafting a qb at all

I just know Jerry s history and he isn’t going to move on from Dak besides changing the qb without fixing this diseased defense don’t do anything except give the fan base their pound of flesh but results will be similar
It’s a culture here at frisco that needs improved

Dak fell behind 3 scores in the first half 20-0 before he threw a pick 6. Dak consistently falls behind against elite teams in the post season. They can hire BB and Dak will still be Dak.

Ya they played well and Dak didn’t but imagine if Diggs don’t drop a pick or make a business decision on kittle maybe 13 would have sufficed
What if the dumb coordinator doesn’t call a stupid pass on 2nd and 2 and runs it instead

What about the year before Dak threw picks then as well. But he also had plays called he made called back because we had 15 penalties . And the defense allowed them to run it down the defense throat as well when we needed a stop

It’s never just 1 thing it’s always team and this team has not played good complimentary football against good teams

Want to move on from Dak so be it but you better fix this disease of a defense as well

Just as expected.....I thought the defense was being discussed. The thread says "You want to fix the Defense. Fix the Defense!" .....and we're talking about Dak......again. No further questions your honor.
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury......The defense will never get fixed. It doesn't have to be. There's a Fall Guy to go to, every time, that doesn't even play defense.

Sorry, this goes much deeper than the defense. We had zero real running game and a questionable o line performance. Dak looked confused again. This was a whole team failure and that falls on the head coach. McCarthy knows how to put together a razzle dazzle team that beats up on bad teams, but a tough, physical team, you can with 99% accuracy, pencil in a loss.

The irony is that in that game and in the GB game - Dak played the same lousy way and had the same deer in the headlights look. Exact same. It's almost like we get into the playoffs and these really strong teams just absolutely befuddle him.

Has there ever been a domed team that had a tough, gritty defense like we see in Balt, Pitt, etc, etc? I mean, why is it always finesse in Dallas?
Because Jerry does not understand the trenches. We're always drafting ballet dancers. Want to guess at what Asim is? Yup finesse.

I said even if they had given Dez the catch, Mr. State Farm still had over a minute to get the pack in FG range (and kickers never miss against the boys, don’t think we blocked a FG since Too Tall Jones was here), and we couldn’t stop him on one leg the whole game.
I’m with you…but he had about 4:40, not one minute.

Dallas should not have been throwing a bomb at that point. The ruling doesn’t bother me because I know they still would have lost.

S—- with that much time left, he would have scored a TD if needed be, they would not have stopped him, heck they couldn’t even get to him on a bombed leg.

Listening to 105.3 the fan.....they mentioned that Jordan Lewis was distraught after the game and hinted that players weren't following their assignments and instead were playing hero ball chasing after the big play. Very selfish if you ask me!

Every team left in the playoffs have a better defense then Dallas. I told you guys all season this defense was "All Done with Mirrors". Well. The mirror finally broke last Sunday. No q.b. in the league can be down by 27 before halftime and come back and win...Mahomes to Jackson. And both of these guys have WAY better defenses than Dallas have. Especially when the playoffs start. Your GM sat on his azzz all season long and did NOTHING to strengthen the defense even when injuries occurred. We needed a run stopping guy and we get Mazi? Really? That's your response to a defense that gets pushed around by any other team that wants to play physical with it. Same with the weakazzz Oline. Martin- All Pro :muttley: Old azz Smith. Only guy they were truthful about was Micah who didn't get the reward. All I hear is Dak...Dak-Dak-Dak-He must be a love doll to some in here. Mahomes-Jackson -any other quarterback left in the the NFL would of lost also Sunday because of this fragile defense. I say it once. I 'll say it forever until Dipazz Jones fix it. NO DEFENSE-NO RINGS!!!!! I don't care who you get at quarterback!! Get a REAL defense -with REAL dominate players!! You build your team on Dak save us!! You DESERVE just what you GET and what you GOT!!!
So dak has no responsibilty fir being down 27?

As hard as you are trying to sell your credibility, Im not buying.

I’d love to see this board if they blew it all up and the next 2-3 years we go 2-15. THAT will be hilarious.
