vs the Packers at Lambeau. He threw for 247 yds and 3 TD passes. Since then he lost the next 6 games versus a team on the road with a winning record.

loss vs 8-4 Giants-12/16/16...1 TD 2 Int's
loss vs 1-0 Broncos-9/17/17- 2 TD's 2 Ints
loss vs 3-2 skins-10/21/18- 1 TD 0 Int
loss vs 7-6 Colts-12/16/18-0 TD 1 Int
loss vs 14-3 Rams-12/19/19-0 TD's 1 Int
loss vs 2-1 Saints-9/29/19-0 TD's 1 int

So it looks like the key to winning is no Int's by dak and to get out to a early lead because in all those losses we trailed in the 1st half. So we are going to need TD's not FG's to beat NE which means we will have to go for it on 4th down at some point during the game.

Thanks. I didn't realize that. May have to lean on our running game. And hope this trend changes on Sunday.

Yep the Cowboys need TD's, supposed to be some wind, so I don't know how FG's would go.

This isn't quite the same Dak that has had such luck in the past. Whatever happens will be for the best -- I really believe that.:thumbup:

It'll be up to the coaches and all of the players to turn this thing around. Let's hope the results might foster great results in the future.

1 TD, 0 INT vs the Rams.

Not 0 TD, 1 INT.

I see one minor problem with this. What about the 6-5 Vikings on 12/1/16? Are you not counting them because Dallas won making Minnesota 6-6? But you would count them as Dallas losing to a winning team had they lost.

So let me get this straight, Dallas lost to the 1-0 Broncos which is a winning team. But if they beat them then it wouldn't count as beating a winning team. Same goes for the Commanders, Colts, and Saints. Yeah, Heads I win, Tails you lose.

That’s more than a minor problem. Good catch.

I know in 2016 Rodgers was out part of the season and of course came back to finish season and upset us in playoffs. Was he possibly out in that lone road win against a winning team?

Beating a winning team in the playoffs is the only time it matters.

Normally these type team stats are compiled with what the teams record was at the end of the year. Much like we compile data on how many playoff teams we face but we don’t know if they’re a playoff team until the end of season.

As usual they don’t really hold much meaning like any stat except to support an opinion or narrative. And if you don’t like the narrative it supports you’ll attempt to dissect it.

Our records against winning teams is a valid discussion despite its negative nature.

I appreciate the post and didn't realize the team record on the road against winning teams since 2016.

To reiterate, I think the only people that should have a Win/Loss record are the owner, GM and Head Coach. This made up thing about compiling a QBs won/loss record is disingenuous. Teams win and lose games. The Cowboys need to be better against winning teams period. At home and on the road.

This way you’re not counting 1-0 teams.

what a silly post. Including the Broncos but ignoring the Eagles victory last year for example.

Yea, this thread is a fail.
Anytime I’ve ever seen those “record against winning team” stats it’s always the teams’ end Of year record.

No question about it being a valid topic. This season we only beat the teams we were expected to beat -1. But I was only pointing to a heads I win, tails you lose example.
