Dallas is 0-16 the Last 2 Years When They Don't Score 30

[CowboyRoy]

Pathetic. But hey, it's all Dak's fault!!

No, it makes total sense. Dak should be able to score 30 every game. Its his fault always. Even when Zeke goes for 50 yards, not TD's and 2 fumbles.

 

[Pantone282C]

Pathetic. But hey, it's all Dak's fault!!

Wow!

 

[CWR]

Freaking Dak! Lol

 

[Aven8]

I’m sorry folks but the bag is out. Will McClay and his scouts have to step up. And quit listening to coaches! McClay is really good, but not on D. I’m not sure if that is the Scouts, J&S, JG, etc. it has to change!

 

[Beaker42]

If Cavenaugh is somehow trying to prop up the offense, he's again giving misleading stats.

Of their 18 losses over the last two years, they have scored over 30 in only 2 of them


The team scored only 19 or less points in 8 of their 10 losses this year.

So they were 2-8 when they didn't score even 20 points. They scored over 30 in just 2 of the 2 losses.

Last year, they failed to score 20 in 5 of their 8 losses. and never scored over 30 ina loss.

It's a completely misleading and dishonest tweet by Cavenaugh.
He may as well say we are are 0-16 when not scoring 50 as well. It's dumb.

No, it’s saying we have no business being an NFL team if you can’t win games 17-10 or 21-17. We have to score over 30 to even have a freaking chance. THAT’S what it’s saying.

 

[Rockport]

I personally don't think it's either.

Seem to be stuck in not rebuild mode but also not good enough to win.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

 

[stiletto]

We love Defense in Dallas...

 

[FVSTONE]

Pathetic. But hey, it's all Dak's fault!!

You forgot we're also O-fer when we play teams with winning records!

No, I just showed that 16 of the 18 losses---or almost every single one of them-- we DID NOT have to score 30 to win....not even close in most cases..
The exact opposite of what you just said. 16 of 18.

In fact, 6 of them we would've won only scoring over 10....but we couldn't even do that.

Sure, our offense is usually better than the D, but this thread premise is total bull.

 

[Hawkeye19]

The offense does not “consistently” get off to slow starts. There were a few games this year but saying consistently is not being fair.

They are usually trailing the other team and have to come storming back to compete. They struggle scoring in the 1st quarter— and they went something like 18 straight games without scoring an opening TD.

Throw in the turnovers and mistakes that plagued them, and yes, I can confidently say they were consistently getting off to slow starts

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

What the turnover differential in those games?

 

[jwitten82]

Cavenaugh is full of it.

Here are the point totals in our losses over the last two seasons.
As you can see. In the 18 losses, the offense lit it up (scored over 30) 2 times.
We actually scored 10 or less points 3 times in both years (6 total)

I think it's funny a lot of people are ignoring this. Our offense only scored over 20 points in 6 of those 18 losses. I know our defense sucks but you cant say it's acceptable for our offense to be that pathetic.

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

You forgot we're also O-fer when we play teams with winning records!

2019:
1. Saints
2. Green Bay
3. NY Jets
4. Vikings
5. Patriots
6. Bills
7. Bears
8. Eagles

2020:
1. Rams
2. Seahawks - scored over 30 and lost
3. Browns - scored over 30 and lost
4. Cardinals
5. WFT
6. Eagles
7. Steelers
8. WFT
9. Ravens
10. Giants


Notice that most of the games they have lost are against teams with winning records. Clearly the offense scores when it's up against bad defenses.

Much like it was Romo's fault for putting 45 on the Bronco's and losing. Nothing has changed in ten years with the defense.

Scouts don't' pick the players. They only give opinions.

Well, you’d be confidently wrong. Give me a break.

You are changing the context of his point:

He is comparing/contrasting two teams performances over the last two years when the offense doesn't score 30 points (doesn't matter whether the team won or lost which is obvious since KC won 12 of those games). The statistics you provided have turned it in to an evaluation of the Cowboys offensive scoring in the team's losses. Two completely different evaluations.

Now you could argue that his point is insignificant but it is accurate. I believe his point is that when KCs offense doesn't win the game by itself, the defense steps in and helps. I would argue that is a significant point considering football is "a team sport".

 

[black label]

We get ez clapped in first quarters, then it's over

 

[StarBoyz83]

They really need to get the slow starts on offense figured out!

 

[InTheZone]

people look at this like it has to be all defense. It doesn't take into account how pathetic our offense looks until the end, by then we've already made life easy for the opposing team to score.
