Stats Question: Takeaways
When is the last time the Cowboys finished top 10 in takeaways/turnover margin.
I'd be willing to bet it has only happened 1-2 times since 1995.

Yeah, the takeaways/turnover margin has been bad far more often than it's been good.

Romo only had 10 picks last year so that makes sense.
I'm not fat, I'm cultivating mass.

Yes it is on two fronts. We did it last year and still only finished 8-8.
Nothing personal, it's just that these obvious and pointless threads are just that. Cowboys are losing because they turn it over more than the opponents....dah. Ya and they score less than their opponent.
How about a thread discussing WHY our turnover margin is so poor and what can or should be done about it. |

My main point wasn't our turnovers dah, it was takeaways, of which we create very few and haven't really for 15 or so years on a consistent basis.
The number of picks we get are horrendous and so are the number of FF's due to hitting the QB.
We only have one real pass rusher in Ware. That's the issue. |

According to the NFL, we were 10th at plus-4. |

We were eighth in takeaways in 2010, with 30. We also had 30 turnovers and finished even in turnover margin (tied for 13th). |

What I would give to have that now...
Creating turnovers is a problem, but not one of the big problems.
Staying healthy, run blocking, route running, decision making (QB and Coach), etc.... |

Yes. The site I referenced included playoff games which put Baltimore ahead of us. I have no idea why they would do it that way. Thanks. |

But takeaways and points off of them would help cover up some of the other issues like dumb players with mediocre at best leadership.
I think I heard Bears have six pick sixes this year.
We might have to go back a decade to get to six total. |
