Message: <blockquote data-quote="TJV" data-source="post: 591073" data-attributes="member: 4300">I’ve got a question about the Dallas defense: Has it improved over the last half or quarter of the season? The reason I ask is I looked at the nfl.com stats for their D vs. the Packers. Of course the season stats for the Packers don’t reflect the improvement it has made since the bye, but I don’t know if the Cowboy’s D experienced a similar improvement.Here are the stats. The Cowboy’s ranking appears first, then the Packers.Scoring D: 15th, tied for 13th. Total yards: 19th, 15th. Passing yards: 26th, 10th. Opponent’s passer rating: 13th, 7th.  Rushing yards: 8th, 23rd. The only area the Cowboys are better is vs. the rush and the Packers have improved in that area significantly since the bye. Of course even if both Ds stayed exactly the same all season stats don’t tell the whole story, but the Cowboy’s D certainly looks exploitable unless it’s experienced the kind of improvement the Packers’ D has or is significantly better on the road. It would be interesting to see the stats on both sides of the ball for all Dallas away games vs. Packers games after the bye.</blockquote>
