Compare the resources given to the defenses vs the offense. The defense is the afterthought of this team. The defense has 2 first round draft picks, no significant FA pick ups, and not nearly the same money invested on defense as there is on offense. The offense has 4 first round draft picks (5 if you count Collins), Williams was a second round pick, gallop was a third round pick, Hurns was our biggest FA pick up this offseason. I’m terms of money, the cowboys have spent far more on offense than the defense. So what I’m saying is that the team is built with an offense first mentality. With all of the resources given to Dak, Dak needed to do way more than what he did. He had multiple opportunities to deliver but he repeatedly failed. That’s the truth. It’s actually 5 discounting Collins, although one of them didn’t play a snap this year. Not sure if youspecifically omitted Frederick for that reason or if you forgot Cooper but I thought I’d mention, because one shudders to think about where this offense would have finished statistically had we not traded for Amari.

So Hurns counts as an investment in the offense, but Taco doesn't count for the defense? That is so intellectually dishonest, it would be infuriating if it weren't so comical. The defense was historically bad on Sunday. Dak, the 3rd year 4th round quarterback with 6 game winning drives this season, didn't do enough to overcome that. You are correct about that.

DaBoys Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 So have we invested more in the defense or offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBoys Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The Cowboys offense showed signs of life after importing Amari Cooper via trade. Dallas, however, came up short in Saturday's 30-22 playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. With Ezekiel Elliott stymied for 47 rushing yards, the Cowboys put up just 308 total yards on the night, including a season-low 1-of-10 on third downs. I would definatly say he didn't do enough.

D82 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 That drive with La'el "sacking" Dak...I can't help but feel like it would have ended in a TD. Dak didn't play great, but he did enough. He improved a lot down the stretch and if you can't see that I don't know what to tell you. Here's hoping he continues to progress and we find a OC that can benefit him.

Cowboys this season averaged 2.02 points per drive. On Saturday, they scored 2.75 points per drive. On the season, they averaged 33.35 yards per drive. On Saturday, that number was 38.5. Did Dak single-handedly lift his team to victory? Did he look like a Hall of Fame quarterback? No. Agreed. But the defense? The defense allowed 459 yards, including 273 on the ground!

Seattle actually picked him off. The Buccaneers LB dropped a pick 6. Jack rabbit dropped a pick 6. IND picked him off once, and philly twice.
