Our offense in the 5 playoff losses the past decade

[Bobhaze]

In my prior thread I shared a look at how our defense fared in the 5 playoff losses of this decade. It wasn’t pretty. In short, unable to stop the run, 52% 3rd down conversion rate, 4 sacks in 5 games, and the defense gave up points in 4 of those 5 games before the offense touched the field.

Four BIG points I want to make before diving in.

1. The 5 playoff losses are not 100% on the defense nor 100% the offense. It’s mix of both. IMO anyone who plays the “all or nothing game” is refusing to look beyond their own biases. None of this is “all or nothing”.
2. Most people don’t want to read a long post like this - I understand that. But if we want a FAIR discussion, it requires more than a line or two.
3. I’m not a “Dak fan” nor a “Dak hater”. I’m a Cowboys fan. I agree that’s he’s overpaid and would rather have a better QB. But JJ is the one who who has paid him TWICE. I will criticize him when he deserves it and give credit when he earns it.
4. Keep it civil in here. You’re welcome to disagree with me or anyone. As long as you leave out the trolling, insults and name calling that often accompany these discussions.

Now let’s look at the offense’s performance, and the QB who led it. It’s not exactly beautiful either. Before I do that, here are the results of the 5 playoff losses in the last decade:

• 2016 L 34-31 vs packers in divisional round at home.
• 2018 L 30-22 vs rams in divisional round on the road.
• 2021 L 23-17 vs niners in wild card round at home.
• 2022 L 19-12 vs niners in divisional round on the road.
• 2023 L 48-32 vs packers in wild card round at home.

So let’s look at offensive performance in those 5 losses:

• Avg scoring by the offense in those 5 losses is 23 points ppg. (Defense was 31). If you take the GB loss last yr out as an outlier, we averaged 21 ppg. Not great but not bad either.
• Total yard avg is 367 but taking the garbage yards from the last GB game, it’s 331. Again, not great but not awful. (20 yds per game taken out by sack losses)
• Running game: Offense avg exactly 100 yards pg in those 5 losses. Two of them we had less than 80 yards. (The defense avg 157 yds pg)
• Passing game: Dak averaged 287 yds passing pg. But if you take the 403 yds out from the last GB game as an outlier, he avg 257 yds per game)
• 3rd down conversions total in 5 losses: 27/66 for 41% conversion rate, which is about average for NFL. (Our defense allowed a 52% conversion rate, which is terrible in playoffs)
• Sacks allowed: in the 5 losses, the OL allowed 13 sacks. (In those same 5 games, the defense only had 4 sacks)
• Turnovers: The offense had 6 turnovers, all 6 are INTs. Of those 6 INTs, 4 of them occurred in the last two playoff losses at SF and at home to GB. Dak was terrible in the first half of the GB game. Just horrible. Those two INTs in the first half sealed our fate. BUT, the defense was horrible too.

There are many other categories in offensive performance like TOP, yards per play, etc. I tried to just stick to the bigger stat numbers.

My final take on the offensive performance led by Dak is this:

• Dak’s performance in the last two losses were really bad. Four of his six INTs happened in the last two playoff losses to GB and SF.
• Dak’s performance in the first two losses - at home to GB and on the road at rams were actually pretty good. In those first two losses he had 4 TDs and 1 INT.
• In the last 3 playoff losses he had 3 TDs 5 picks. That’s awful.
• The offense has been up and down in these losses. The sack numbers weren’t good and the running game has been below average.

So on the whole IMO if I’m being objective and give a % of fault in these 5 losses, I would have to give the defense 60% and the offense (and Dak) 40%. As I said in the opening, it’s never 100% on one person.

Unless we want to say it’s mostly the GM who can’t seem to understand if you have an above average QB, he can’t carry you. You need a running game and a defense and we’ve had neither.

The last two head coaches lost their teams when they entered the playoffs. That is upon their leadership deficiencies and uncontrolled discipline. Can't act championships.

 

[75boyz]

Dallas is a frontrunner team built to win when having a lead.
Check the times the last few years the team has come back for a victory after trailing at the half.
And regarding playoffs, It's almost as though this QB is given this automatic excuse that he will start slow in playoff games.

Fake comebacks against playoff opponents whether in 2016 or 2023 or against regular season opponents like Baltimore last year do nothing but wrongly produce stats of final scores that weren't nearly as close as the final score shows.

I mean Dak threw for 400 yards in that 2 score loss in the 2023 GB playoff game.

I just don't get it not being at the minimum a 50-50 distribution of blame for both the offense and defense.

And if you wanna change the angle here to personal responsibility of blame for specific position holders GM, HC and QB...
Then with McFraud, I give Jerry 60 percent of team failure rate and McCarthy 20% and Dak 20%.
A former SB winning coach.
An MVP runnerup QB.

A little different if talking the blame piece of the pie with Garrett. He did not have McFrauds SB winning resume.
In those years and this year with Schotty, Jerry gets 70%, Dak 20% and the HC 10%.

All 3 position holders bear a percentage of blame in performing their individual job.
Regardless if Jerry hired them or drafted/acquired them.

The last paragraph is what says it all.

This team loses its playoff games the previous March because they think they are better than they are personnel-wise and can skip free agency while others improve via that method.

I mean at least learn from mistakes. This DT room is arguably the worst in recent years, yet they are spending more on it. A WR rental has many excited about this season. Maybe Jerry does know what he is doing after all since that’s his primary goal.

 

[75boyz]

On properly functioning infrastructures of all other NFL teams I assign the positional blame on team success an even third of 33 1/3 percent for the GM, HC and QB.

Jerry changes that whole dynamic with this team.

But okay, I'll toe the forum line and just follow along in the It's all Jerry's fault bread line never acknowledging that a HC or QB even have a job here.

And I'm not even a Jerry groupie, but my gosh.

Of course I acknowledge it’s not all Jerry’s fault. I acknowledge it includes the QB, the HC, the asst coaches, all the players. I acknowledge all that for sure.

But I am also going to ask, “Who hired and drafted all these people, and who paid this QB at the top of the market?”

Fair points, Dak has not stepped up in the playoffs,,, quite the opposite really. What makes this especially bad is that this team has the lion's share of draft and cap invested in the offense so they need to carry the team. The defense did about as well as can be expected given their limitations but in any case it isn't acceptable. Jerry and co need to be more balanced.

 

[75boyz]

Lastly, sticking with my personal blame responses...
Sorry for not sticking with original OP discussion.

But Jerry is not the one to have failed in preparing the team for its playoff game.
That's on the leadership and onfield performance of the HC and QB.

These 2 position holders can not be given a free pass on team failure responsibility just because Jerry hired or drafted them.

They strongly share in the blame.
It's not all Jerry.

And I'm about as far as a Jerry apologist as you'll find.

 

[acr731]

I mean Dak threw for 400 yards in that 2 score loss in the 2023 GB playoff game.

If I'm remembering this right, about 310 of those yards came AFTER the game was already decided. It was the very definition of garbage time stats, but the Dak homers tried to sell it as Dak putting the team on his back and leading them to this massive comeback. GB had already pulled their starters by that time...

I accounted for that as an outlier in the OP. Again, I am not defending Dak, I’m neither a “Dak fan” nor a “Dak hater”. Just trying to give a bigger perspective.

You don’t have to agree with anything I e said here. I’m just making sure this isn’t another “Dak is being protected” thing.

Nice, objective observations. I’m sure it would also be interesting to know how many passes we asked Dak to throw in those playoff games. As I noted in another thread, even in today’s NFL, when QBs are asked to throw the ball 35 times in a game, winning is a very low percentage while INTs are up; that’s an all time NFL statistic.

When your defense is bad and your run game is below average, you are asking your QB to throw the ball way more than he should, no matter who he is. You are not only asking too much from your QB, but you are also putting your OL in a bad spot and raising the risk of tipped passes, dropped passes, and miscommunication with WRs.

You're good, Bob.... If I disagreed with anything I would point it out. One thing I DO agree with is this:

• "I’m not a “Dak fan” nor a “Dak hater”. I’m a Cowboys fan."

Each and every one of us should be Cowboys fans first and foremost, but that isn't how this place rolls.

It was the very definition of garbage time stats, but the Dak homers tried to sell it as Dak putting the team on his back and leading them to this massive comeback. GB had already pulled their starters by that time...

If you have a defense and coordinator who can adapt and put on the brakes, the game isn’t decided by a lead until there are not enough possessions left. The offense and the defense must adapt. Dan Quinn has always had trouble adapting. He does what he does, and he does it well when he has a lead.

 

[75boyz]

Of course I acknowledge it’s not all Jerry’s fault. I acknowledge it includes the QB, the HC, the asst coaches, all the players. I acknowledge all that for sure.

But I am also going to ask, “Who hired and drafted all these people, and who paid this QB at the top of the market?”

Does the fact that Jerry hired or drafted them totally remove their individual responsibilities at performing their jobs?

Was it Jerry's job to prepare and lead the team for that GB debacle?

No, it wasn't.
The HC and QB failed huge in doing their individual jobs.

At some point better Head Coaching and quarterbacking need to be lumped into this blame everything on Jerry cycle of Dallas Cowboy futility.

I believe an elite QB along with an elite HC could win here in spite of Jerry.

Now how or IF those 2 type alfa position holders could ever be acquired is a different discussion.

The Cowboys offense has been unbalanced for a while now. When you don’t focus on the running game from Rookie camp until Sept. 4th then you’re not going to be able to establish a running game. Without that, it’s all show and playoff time, no go.

[ArtClink]

The last two head coaches lost their teams when they entered the playoffs. That is upon their leadership deficiencies and uncontrolled discipline. Can't act championships.

But all the players answer to Jerry not the head or assistant coaches. How can a hc change the culture when they lack the power to hire and fire?
