Cowboys Stupid Mistake Rating, Week 5

[EPL0c0]

Vs Denver they had 2 turnovers and 7 penalties. That'd be a 20 on your scale.

28 vs NYG, 20 vs DEN. Dallas was in both games up to the final seconds. What's crazy is that at times, this team has what it takes to almost make up for those stupid mistakes. And it sucks to think/realize that one or two stupid mistakes less and those games could have different results.

That's the only thing giving me hope for something better than 8-8 this year. Sort of like the Buffalo game...that despite the errors, this team can pull itself together and win.

19, actually. (2 x 6) + 7. But good point.

Update: for all the non-math whizzes, I've simplified the spreadsheet to use box score stats. I'm in the process of updating it right now and will get the highs and lows for everyone...

For those wondering, the Chiefs out-dumbed us 9.65 to 14.63 using the a new and improved formula...details coming.

Sounds good; looking forward to seeing it.
