Sorry, but that's a load of crap.
If a punter pins an offense at the 1 and a safety is the result, do you give all credit to the punter for the safety? No.

When did the "safety" and "missed XP's become the offense's fault? Defense is fucking this team. Talking about anything else is a waste of time.
It's a weird tweet, definitely.

I think he's trying to say, "imagine how many points they could put up without these screw ups."

But he's confusing concepts because taking the safety away doesn't give the offense more points, and missing XPs isn't the offense's fault.

Just an odd thought process all around given that his foundational thought - that they are putting up a lot of points even while missing on some easy points and thus it could be even better - is sound.

Sorry Pollard fan, but it 100% IS. That fuck up and putting his team at the 1-yard line is ALL on him.
That's not what you originally said. Of course the team being at the 1 was Pollard's fault. You claim the safety was all on him, which is not true.

I see it as a completely misguided waste of time.

Even with those things happening - and nobody is giving the offense a pass for them - but even with them happening, Dak and the offense still had a lead in Seattle with four minutes left.

Who fucked that up?

And then the offense staged yet another comeback to pull to within 3 points - while the defense got butt-fucked to the tune of over 300 yards rushing!

Who fucked that up?

Anybody talking about the offense is wasting both their time and mine. Their miscues are far, far, down that list. They overcome theirs. The defense can't overcome anything.

The point is that he put them at the 1 in the first place. If he's doesn't screwup like that, the offense is never in that position. Therefore it's on him. It's unrealistic to expect any offense to never have a negative play.

You were right for half the post.

Failing a 2 point isn't really a fuck up. We went for them because of the situation and you're not always going to be perfect on those plays.

That garbage Jerry said defending Jaylon Smith is the most infuriating thing he's said in a while. I know he has to say it because he paid him a fortune and can't admit a mistake, but still.

I hate those types.

It does show you why they aren't getting any better though. They are playing like total dog shit and yet not even then do they want to accept any culpability.

Sadly, this is not surprising.
It's the Cowboys brand. It goes to a lot of these guys heads. They don't have to work as hard for recognition or big contracts like players in other markets.

Why the fuck did Jerry say "courageous"? Was Jaylon playing with a bullet wound or something? A broken leg?

Because he came back from the injury...

Guess that gives him a lifetime pass.

Getting LVE back at all this season, let alone in a few weeks, would be fantastic and I think make the defense look significantly better (below average, basically).
