Any of these offenses better than ours?

[SteveTheCowboy]

And what would you call our defense??

I'd call our defense pretty crappy with an offense that can easiluy stress them out.

How many halfs have we gone without scoring? Come on..be quick about it.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

If you have a top defense, time of possession is more important in the playoffs than big numbers on offense. If your defense is average or worse, you had better be putting up lots of points, and in that case, it doesn’t matter if your points come in the red one or on big plays. 30 points is 30 points.

Personally, if it’s a close game in the playoffs, I would prefer being able to trust Doomsday 1 or 2 more so than trusting any offense to have the winning drive on the final possession.

Look...we had like 19 in TOP. We had maybe 11 in redzone scoring. We kicked a lot of FGs.

You trying to pretend this doesn't hurt our already crappy defense is ...cute! You think TOP doesn't effect our defense. I cite 2016 to you....we ran Zeke into the ground,. A decent defense. Just a QB/coaches who could NOT nail the coffin.

Come on Chuck...you are better than this. It's perfectly fine to critique the offense and still FULLY blame Jerry and the defense.

"Elite"? Not by any playoff standards.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Fans overrate our offense, I saw they choke plenty of times this year, tackles could not keep 4 clean, they could not score in the clutch, could not run the ball, they got their behind kicked plenty by mediocre defenses.

Our defense and Jerry suck so bad you are not allowed to say ANYTHING about our offense. Okay...you can say how great dak is for buying Nikes, Bikes, and lunch for the O-line. . That's it.

Watch yourself.

This O is built to obliterate weaker teams. That's why our stats look good on O.

Every single one of them is.

Three games: scores 34-31, 31-27, and 27-24 and the bulk of posters cannot stop talking about playoff defenses and what they mean to winning in the postseason. LOL! Literally in the past few days-the modern NFL does not operate like it used to. There are games that are defensive struggles and there are shootouts. That’s the way the game is played now. Sometimes. SOMETIMES. The offense will just have to deal with the fact that the other team will score lots of points and thus will need to score lots of points to stay in the contest. Regardless to how good the team’s defense is. It’s just a fact-team defense can play a role, but the game is heavily tilted towards offensive firepower now and fans should accept this.

Excellent point!

The problem with our offense is INCONSISTENCY.

They are prolific in bunches but then when playing the Panthers, Broncos,Chargers and Cardinals they struggle.

Although our defense was putrid, failing to win even one of those games was telling.

The Panthers game best reveals the inconsistency. Although the team scored 27 points, the offense only scored 1 TD in the entire 2nd half and thats a game that was very winnable and the Panthers defense was ranked 16th.

The poor offensive performance against the Broncos was the easier to understand because their defense was ranked #3

Apparently the #3 defense deballed the #1 offense with no issues.

vs/ panthers we had chances. just didn't cash in. also defense was putrid. I mean putrid. did you see Dowdle rip them a new one.
Broncos had, have our number. they just dominated on both sides of the ball.
against the chargers it was tail of two halfs.
it was weird against the cardinals and in that game, cardinals scored 27. matching their highest output total.
we fumbled too many times and shot ourselves in the foot too many times.

but with that said, every team's offense goes through games. and sometimes your defense has to come through.
seattle won 4 games scorind less than 20.
niners won 4 games scoring 20 or less. they were 6-3 not scoring 30 once.
philly won a 10-3 game.
chargers scored more than 30, 3 times all season, one of them obviously against the cowboys. they went 8-3 scoring more than 30 just once.


so every offense is going to be that. it gets a bit more under the microscope here, one because of Dak, two because we expect offense to score more than 30 every game and complain when they don't.

lol, this is exactly what I wanted to post when this thread was first opened. Against the better teams this offense sucked when looking the splits and quarter by quarter data. They couldn’t score until game was out of their control. Without Aubrey kicking 50+ the scoring wasn’t anything spectacular. We were marginal and would’ve been walked like prior years in playoffs.

 

[75boyz]

Yes! And this is exactly why I get annoyed at certain posters here that just throw around the term #1 offense in the league and don’t actually dig into the statistics further

Yeah.
I don't get it either.
They couldn't score nearly as much in the second halfs of games compared to the first, and couldnt score TDs in the Red Zone yet again.

 

[erod]

With this Oline, Williams at RB, Lamb and GP, Dak leading them; anyone else in the playoffs better than that? maybe Eagles regarding personnel, but Hurts is purely a bus driver. If somehow we can fix this defense we could contend in the playoffs.....IF we can work around our idiot GM/owner.....never mind.

All of them are. Ours fails when it matters. Multiple games with no or one touchdown in the second half.

Fools gold here

 

[Havic]

Yeah.

This is looking at stats and not watching games. funny how you aren’t using the highest scoring offenses to support your argument. This is top seven:

1	Rams	30.5	65
2	Patriots	28.8	58
3	Seahawks	28.4	51
4	Bills	28.3	62
4	Lions	28.3	57
6	Jaguars	27.9	55
7	Cowboys	27.7	51

The only one you can use in your example is Seahawks and one of those was against the Jags who weee on short week from playing MNF. The stats don’t show the game design or what your team has invested in. We know Dallas has overly invested around offense therefore have to expect offensive production out of them. Example eagles first 5 picks last year went to all defensive players bc that is who they lost in FA after Super Bowl.

its not looking at stats, I watched the games. I did say a couple of games we didn't play well. that stat you just posted, puts us top 7 offensively... are you complaining? or are you blaming the offense for not being #1?

now, do me a favor. a big favor. post their defensive performance right next to them. come on. do it.

cowboys defense gave up average of 30 points per game. come on post the defensive stats.
btw, rams and detroit spent more than Dallas on Offense.
bills spent 5M less
NE spent 20M less, but they have a QB with rookie contract. that helps.
Jags and Sehawks were the anomoly.

by comparison, dallas was 24th in defensive spent. all teams above except for Rams spent more than the cowboys.

how the rams ended up with a top 10 defense is beyond me. incredible.

I didn't mention Daks name on purpose because it triggers too many here and they stop analyzing the content.

The lack of breakdown can be attributed to the Oline, WRs, RB or Qb.....its an inconsistency that needs to be worked on.

Like you said, every offense has issues now and then, but the #1 offense should have less of them especially when facing average or below average defenses like the Cardinals and Panthers.

Its way more easily fixable than the defense, lol

this team, generally speaking doesn't have killer instincts. they tend to be the opposite. I mean key time, key drive and fergi fumbles. he did that twice or was it three times.
same with Williams. key moment and he fumbled. sanders did it against Philly first game.

we tend to pull defeat from jaws of victory and shrink.
