Cowboys scoring in 2023

[Jumbo075]

Cowboys have scored 124 points in 4 games, averaging 31 ppg.

Offense

• 8 touchdowns - 48 points

Defense - 18 points

• 3 touchdowns - 18 points

Special Teams - 58 points

• 1 touchdown - 6 points (missed extra point)
• 13 field goals - 39 points
• 2 two-point conversions - 4 points
• 9 PAT kicks - 9 points

The Cowboys Redzone conversion rate is pretty pathetic. They've had 21 offensive scoring drives, which potentially could have led to 148 points. They've only converted 8 of their offensive scoring drives into touchdowns, leaving 52 points on the table. They have to get this fixed soon. No excuses.

The offense is only scoring 12 ppg. The defense is scoring 4.5 ppg. The special teams are scoring 14.5 ppg.

Would be interesting to know run v. pass in red zone, penalties and Dak sacks?

 

[Potenza]

Everyone played very well today. Couldn’t be happier for those guys.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Just for reference - the Bears and Colts have scored more offensive TDs (9) than the Cowboys (8).

That's how pedestrian this offense has been

 

[Stak78]

The homer in me says the offense is a work in process. That not letting starters play preseason to work out the kinks is the reason why. They have potential if they just get the execution squared away. Lots of missed blocking assignments and penalties have held the offense back.

 

[cowboysfan99]

Feels like the Tony Pollard 2-point conversion should be credited to the offense

Unlikely. The play calling now wouldn't have been fixed by playing the starters in preseason.

Not material to the point

Was just thinking the same thing. I made a point last week that if the Defense doesnt get 2 turnovers, the outcome is completely up in the air to in trouble

Im more concerned about the points the offense puts up. Where does the offense rank in points scored?

 

[JBS]

To count a fg ad a special teams scoring play isn’t corrrxt lol. The offense put the team in position for the fg not STs.

Point remains. Offense in red zone needs to improve.

My biggest concern with this team and especially the offense is it seems the defense and STs need to make big plays and get the momentum before the offense gets going. So today’s win was awesome and I am glad we had a 10-3 lead prior to the defense and STs blowing it open. That’s encouraging. But I would like to see more scoring and momentum being started on the offensive side of the ball moving forward.

So, we’re averaging 31.3 ppg?

Last year, the Chiefs led the league with 29.2 ppg

Points per play is the best metric to see how good/bad your scoring offense is. Although it is nicer to score more TDs in the redzone, the ultimate goal of the offense is to score as many points as possible per possession. Points per play will tell you how many points were scored per every play ran by the offense.

Here is the latest ranking after today.

I think there is something to this. Between the rust, the new offensive scheme, penalties, and the injuries up front, it just hasn’t all come together yet.

They are a work in progress. They’ll be all that they will be by Thanksgiving, and we will have a more accurate picture of their capabilities, competencies, and limitations

Exactly, the sacks drive me crazy

It would help if the receivers get open in the red zone. Plus, when they do get open in the red zone, it would be nice if they caught passes that hits them in their hands. The playcalling in the red zone has to get better as well.

 

[JW82]

So special teams gets credit for all the drives that out them in FG position? Nice lol
