I think the stats are because they aren’t playing as a team. When the Defense does there job then the Offense puts up good stats but not enough of the one that counts and that’s points.Regardless of who the next HC of the Cowboys is, I believe there is one requirement that is not negotiable, Kellen Moore will be the OC.
The offense is ranked 1st in passing and total yards, 10th in rushing and 9th in total points. Think that's not bragging rights for the GM? I don't think he's letting Moore go.
Now, if this is true that he's part of the deal, which way would you lean if a new HC is selected, the offense or defense? What good does a guy like Riley or McCarthy do when the offense doesn't seem to be the problem?
Wanna see something else crazy? They're 8th in total D and 12th in scoring D.
How in the hell is this team 6-7 and don't lay that all on Garrett, that's ridiculous. Stat wise, this might be the best 6-7 team in NFL history. I've looked at lot of stats and not ever seen anything like that.
And I don't know where they rank now but several weeks back, they were the best 3rd down team on both sides of the ball, none of this makes sense.
So, instead of starting another thread, I'd like to discuss what you think is wrong with this team. If I were to show you those stats, without you knowing the record of that team, what would you guess? 6-7? Those are the stats of a 10 win team so far into the season.
So, my grab bag thread is about keeping Moore, O or D guy for HC and what's wrong with this team? Take you pick or go gonzo for all three, poster's choice.
I would really like to see some well thought out theories on how a team can look like that in the stats and have that record. There are some talking heads that have been following this game for many years and they can't explain it.
Even when the Defense is sucking the Offense puts up stats. But stalled drives kill this team. They try to turn it on after the game gets away from them. Not many games we get blown out. The score sometimes is closer than it looks on the field. Our ST is the worst I have ever seen and JG and the FO just look past it and does nothing.
Last few games have confused me. They come out with a dominate first drive and then pack it in like its week 2 of the preseason.
They are not finishing. They get Elliot cranked up and abandon it as soon as they are down by a point. No complete game. Maybe Moore has yet to be able to call a balanced or complete game. He may be afraid to blow it by being to aggressive throughout a whole game. He gets conservative to the point that it looks like JG is influencing it. Linehan used to have the problem with abandoning the run also. I haven’t looked to see if JG is talking to Moore during the game.
If the team stuck with the run and stop the drive ending penalties and let Dak run some of these balls himself we may have something.
