Fewest in the league last year!

Dak ended most drives with a TD pass. Shocking when you consider it was a new offense and had no NFL running game.

I'd be curious to see where they rank on defense drives resulting in turnover or punt. They had a lot of turnovers but punts? I recall some games where there were not too many punts.

All our wonderful offensive #s have to exclude post season. That’s what the homers hang their hat on. Keep buying those tickets and merchandise.

It was game over because the first 7 drives on defense were TD-Punt-TD-TD-TD-TD-TD which no team in playoff history has won from that position. I can give you plenty of teams who have won from the position you gave. Jaguars won down 28-0 a year ago after 4 INTs in the first half because the defense stepped up. Defense had the same problem all year in that they could not stop power run teams because they had a S playing LB and they got bit by it in the end.

It’s shocking the number of fans (all haters) here who don’t understand football 101. It’s what hate does to them. Blinds them and makes them look like fools when they post their hate.

And this is even more reason for the FRUSTRATION for how our season ended.... UGH!!!

Get with the program, the defense lost that game. The offense was instrumental in keeping Dallas in the game. Right?

To the OP, what point does this prove exactly?

Not against Green Bay. He sucked.

People defending scoring 0 pts the entire half

Absolutely shocking

Yeah we can't do the things we do and have a suck qb, suck coaches, suck run game etc.

Someone actually has to be good.

It's insane. The offense scored only 7 points and had only 80 something yards in the entire 1st half, but it's the defense that gets all the blame. The whole team sucked that day - it isn't that hard to figure out and knowledge of Football 101 isn't necessary.

Not sure why the defense sucking is an excuse for Dak sucking. One has nothing to do w the other.

Nope. Dak sucked every bit as much as the defense. I don't understand why the Davidians refuse to see that.

The more stats you pull up on the this team the more confounding they are.

We’ve got offensive numbers out the wazoo and defensively last year they gave up the 5th fewest points and yards ( less yards than the Ravens and 9er’s) through 17 games.

So what gives? They just turn to mush on both sides of the ball in the playoffs. It’s not just the O or the D, it’s inexplicably a collective suck.

Clearly the Cowboys are the only team in the NFL that plays bad teams, so these numbers must be wrong.

Lol but yet you think this years running game is going to be better?

Thats Dak for ya! Mr Rah rah rah talks a good game but crumbles in the playoffs. GB drives right down the field and Dak does EXACTLY what he shouldn't do. 3 and out! Hahahaha
That game was over the minute we saw Prescotts opening drive.

Expect a few more articles between now and training camp that reference how well the Cowboys played overall this past regular season.

Add to that...the ranking period is about to start in earnest ...
when individuals, entities, media, and organizations involved with the NFL will create or seek out opinions on rating players, position groups, coaching staffs, front offices and owners of the 32 teams.
