Dallas Week 1 DVOA rankings

[Hardline]

So we basically started the season where we left off last season on defense and special teams.

 

[Ranching]

So, we ain't crap without Dak? The haters will jump on this

 

[Denim Chicken]

The Special Teams is concerning.

I hope the defense number can come up since we're not going to be playing the Bucs every week.

 

[CowboyFrog]

and thats your game .....and thats how people who understand football saw it also.

I'm not worried about the defense as much considering it was game 1 under a new scheme and playing TB. The ST are scary. They lost is the game and if they don't improve they'll lose more games.

Bucs were ranked 23rd on this list week 1 of last year. The rankings don’t adjust for opponent until around week 6-7. Dallas could still look bad but there isn’t enough data yet.

John Fassel has been complete garbage.

Wasn’t just Greg’s misses. The coverage teams were trash too.

Didn’t Buffalo give up a punt blocked for a TD? How are they not #32? That was the difference in points for their game.

I think our kicker missed 2 fg and missed extra point. And how many yards given up on punt returns and such.

One of the FGs was 60 yards. I just see a blocked punt for a TD being much worse.

 

[JBS]

22nd defensively. And people are pleased with the defense. 8th for the offense isn’t great either. That’s underperforming for the skill we have.

 

[Jake]

Business as usual.

 

[glimmerman]

One of the FGs was 60 yards. I just see a blocked punt for a TD being much worse.

I don’t disagree with you. But the one missed fg was a kick any NFL kicker should make plus a missed extra point. And the ratings may have taken in the return yardage also to decide.

 

[Bobhaze]

Is this dejavu or are we still in 2020?

 

[fivetwos]

We are tied for last in everything because we are 0-1.

16 more games to fix that.

 

[ICP]

Is this dejavu or are we still in 2020?

Picking up where we left off, consistency is key

 

[Praxit]

...best interpretation. Almost beat the Super Bowl Champs in their House. Hows that for numbers? .....

So we basically started the season where we left off last season on defense and special teams.

Exactly, we lost for the old reasons.

1. gave up long TD play, almost 2
2. Bad red zone offense, bad red zone defense
3. Bad special teams play

That’s been our story.
