Eh. 38% is not a slam dunk. You fail more than you succeed.
Not when you compare it to the rest of the league. It’s like saying in baseball that hitting .300 is bad because you fail 70% of the time, which isn’t true, that’s not how it’s viewed. The same goes for three-point shooters in the NBA.
You need a broader perspective on sports and a bigger sample from the rest of the league to understand that this is above average and better than many others. We’re top 7 in scoring two years in a row, and we score enough to win almost any game if we had even a 20th-ranked defense, which we don’t. We have a terrible defense, and that’s why we’re losing games.
Our special teams are average to below average, which also contributes to losses. The offense isn’t the problem, even though they make mistakes, they should be allowed to make mistakes, just like Matthew Stafford and the Rams. He led the league in interceptions, threw two in the Super Bowl, and still won because they had a great defense, special teams, and coaching.
That’s how you play football, you don’t demand perfection from one group, then blame them entirely when you lose. Mistakes happen; they’re part of being human.
Who’s the best offense in the league right now? Give me your top three, because if you say the Rams, remember they only scored seven points to start the year, the lowest scoring team in the NFL in week one.
If that happened with Dak and the Cowboys, people would be in full meltdown mode, blaming him without considering any other factors. After three weeks, who are the top three offenses in the league?
And if you list them, are you saying they’ve been perfect, never punting, scoring on every drive, clutch in every moment, and mistake-free?
I want a broader perspective on why you think they’re better than the Cowboys. Joe Burrow and the Bengals come to mind, but are you saying they’ve been flawless? In my opinion, Burrow has a similar offense full of talent but average coaching and a below-average defense that’s playing better this year. When they lose, the blame usually goes to the offensive line, defense, or coaching, while many of our fans point straight at Prescott and the offense.
I don’t follow all 32 teams closely, so I want to know who you think is playing perfect offense and which teams are better than Dallas, and if Dallas isn’t on your list, we’ll know where you stand.
