Cowboys O scoring at a historic pace

[Kevinicus]

You probably don’t want to be on the internet or social media though lol.

It's torture at times.

Thankfully, here, it's mostly just "historic" and "sniff" that people abuse.

 

[Proof]

The top 3 are in the last 6 years. That makes the Cowboys 4th in the last 6 years.

In no way does that classify as anything resembling "historic."

It's also comparing 4 games to full seasons.

4 game sample is silly, but if the sample range is 26 years, the data is the data and you’re being needlessly dismissive and pedantic

 

[Proof]

Because they wanna believe the post. If they didn't, they would be picking it apart.

You really can't make this stuff up.

Besides with the investment in the offense, they SHOULD be approaching historic. How else you gonna be the GOTI??

uhhh what? reading it directly as intended isn’t picking it apart. quite the opposite. like i’m fine saying “historic” is silly, that 4 games is meaningless, and being on (and behind) a list with the 24 commanders is not impressive, but the guy you’re quoting is the one picking it apart. data is data

 

[Proof]

"What do 'pace' mean?!?"

And LOL at the notion that it doesn't count as "historic" if other similarly historic seasons happened recently.

right. i don’t understand people

I love when people are this wrong.

It is literally filtered for 4 games for those teams. You think teams had ~40 drives a season? lol

lol was waiting for this

 

[LouBrown]

Who argued it wasn't good or impressive?

We're talking about the word "historic". People here throw it around flippantly about everything.

Doesn't matter if it's something that has happened many times before. As long as it's near one extreme or the other, it suddenly becomes "historic."

I miss when words had actual meaning.

Define historic. It ranks 5th out of 832 samples. <1% of teams have done this.

I did miss that 4 G listed on there. That does make the comparison more apt, but even more meaningless.

How does that make it historic?

Impressive? Sure. Notable, yeah, for now. Historic? No.

Is it important to history? No.
Does it have historical impact? No.
Will it be remembered forever? No.
Is it going to change things in the NFL due to it's significant? No.

Not historic.

Not historic.

So you have an arbitrary and subjective definition of historic.

Not really worth arguing about.

What do you think historic means?

Maybe you are thinking "historical".

I don't think it means anything, which is why I think being pedantic about it in an effort to devalue the offense is dumb.

If they maintain this pace, it'll be the best offense in NFL history. You are ignoring the word "pace."
