2021 NFL Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. New Orleans Saints

[Scot]

And to think…

Our offense is “supposed” to be the strength of this team.

And our defense was ranked dead last it damn near every category last season.

What a difference a year makes

Fucking Diggs

Swatting at the ball again instead of securing the tackle AGAIN allowed that TD

 

[Maveric]

He hasnt been the same, but the OL is is clearly the #1 problem. They are just getting completely dominated every single snap.

That's what happens when you have great players but no depth. Best line in the league seems like a long time ago att this point...

 

[Scot]

#9 for Diggs, the kid is something...

Unless it’s time for him to tackle someone to save a TD

True, thought to be fair Deion wasn't exactly world renown for his tackling either...

Those were business decisions

The defense is better but dont get too carried away.

They still play like swiss cheese too much. Saints had half their offense gone and still ran up over 400 yds of offense. We only managed two or three sacks against a team with backup tackles and a 3rd string QB who had hardly played.

The OL is absolutely the biggest concern with the team right now. The run blocking is a joke and the pass protections is shoddy at best. Everyone wanted Connor Williams benched due to penalties but his blocking was better than McGoverns has been. Lael Collins is just putrid now. Biadasz is not an asset to the OL either.

Hooker and Kazee are far bigger problems than Diggs.

Donovan Wilson is going to be a tough loss because he and Kearse are by FAR the two best safeties. Looking like Wilson is probably done for the season too.

LVE is the other guy that is a gigantic hole when he is out there. Liability vs the run and pass. Unfortunately they dont have much else other than Parsons at LB. Neal is awful out there too.

 

[dbair1967]

Tonight was epitome of winning ugly. Butt fucking ugly game in almost every way. The 4 picks look nice and Parsons got sack #10, but we still gave up over 400 yds, missed a bunch of tackles and let the other teams QB run wild for 100+ rushing yards.

Offensively, it was horrendous. Even Pollards long TD run was more just him showing off his blinding speed than anything else, play wasnt blocked all that good at all.

They have to fix the OL in a hurry if they want to have any legit shot at making a run in the postseason. Right now with 3 all world WR's, a really solid TE and two good RB's, this offense doesn't scare anybody. QB is not the same player he was prior to that injury and he is getting no help from the guys up front.

Glad we won, but it sure seems like a loss to me. Almost any other team in the league would have shitstomped the Saints tonight.

The announcers just said it right. When they get turnovers, especially in chunks like they did tonight, they're right there with anyone. When they don't, it can be a problem, especially in games the offense struggles.

We got 4 turnovers and still barely beat a scab team tonight.

If we had played a good team that was fairly in tact, I am reasonably sure we would have lost huge.

Michael Gallop is one bad bitch with his sideline toe tap catches! He has made impressive catches like that his entire career.

I truly believe on almost any other team in this league he's a perennial Pro Bowler and considered a top tier receiver. Yeah, they may not be able to afford him, and with Wilson and Schultz stepping up some might not consider him a necessity, but dammit I just know if they let him go it's going to come back and bite us in the ass.

 

[Doomsday]

What a mess. One probably broken finger on the throwing hand of the opponent's would-be QB, and we likely lose. We are far from a SB contender. We're gonna wind up finishing 2nd in the division.

I don't doubt it. Hell, take away two of the four and we probably lose.
