For the last time - our defense is stout!
We're currently one of the top-rated red zone defenses in the NFL - we've forced more field goals inside the twenty than any team except Baltimore... We also have the least amount of 20-yard (or more) plays against us and only had ONE yesterday... Not to mention that only one team has gotten 100+ rushing (Redskins) and the only player who's been able to run over 65 yards against us was Clinton Portis (he does that against every team)... Sure, we need to force more turnovers and get more sacks, but our secondary is breaking up a lot of passes and the sacks tend to come heavier when the game is on the line...
I'd look more to Romo throwing at least one interception in his last 8 games (currently the longest streak in the NFL) and his 2 fumbles in the last 2 games - how good can our defense be when the other team starts their drive at our 40-yard line???
