Dak faced the easiest average pass defense DVOA of opponents this season

[silvernblu]

Perhaps the leagues top passer is a cause for the rankings against the pass of the defenses he faced?

 

[CCBoy]

Any one really worried about opposing defenses against Dallas and in home games?

 

[Zman5]

Should we also put an asterisk next to CeeDee's incredible season then? Are we sure he's great and not just good since he played vs bad pass defenses?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I mean this may be true but where is it getting better at? Who in the NFC has a secondary that scares you? 49ers and they have injuries there.

 

[Swagger]

Is anyone really surprised by this?
Look at the results and yep it highlights this. The D will have to have back to back game for the generations if the Cowboys are to beat the 49ers and Ravens or Bills.

 

[G2]

What a revelation! He destroyed a bunch of defenses hindering their ranking. No kidding!
This is about as dumb as the obsession of the "team with a winning record" whine-fest.
Dude didn't even play the 4th quarter in games because of the lead, lol.

Start watching more football. Here and now the Dallas passing game can go up against any defense. Injury spinjury on defenses.

what? I watch more football turn your brain can handle what are you even talking about?

 

[BotchedLobotomy]

Cherry picking stats to justify their hatred for Dak is all this thread is.

 

[cowboyed]

I love BS stats like these and the “haven’t beat a winning team” argument.

We played Washington, NY, and PHI twice each. Doubt any division had worse pass defenses. However, you play who you play. There are some QBs low on that list that still stunk it up.

Doesn’t at all take away from what he accomplished.

You still have to execute and score more points than the other opponent. Statistical rank doesn't tell the whole story. We know since post 90s the NFL has increased parity among all teams with the advent of the salary cap, free agency and more favorable draft position for losing teams. So the talent gap or lack of competitiveness among teams isn't as dramatic as it seems. Many teams besides the Cowboys have sustained losses or won games against other so-called lesser opponents. Remember when the Patriots crafted the perfect winning season without any losses except to the 9-7 Giants who ended up beating them in the Super Bowl?

Brag on with no clue and time at doing it also. If you are afraid of the Dallas going up against any defense at AT&T on anything beyond the offense's own abilities...YOU have no clue in the present. They will do fine in two straight games. Games are still won on the offensive side. The defense is fine at limiting an opponent, here and now. As to your usual recourse to an immediate comparison in abstract...Dallas is still #2 seed and my eyes don't see but their own strengths in comparison. With that attitude as to focus....run along son. You focus on your own fault finding stats...I'll stick to watching the present team.

I'm not impressed with the reasons for your own stance. My focus was on other points and I owe you no favored status on those.

Pat yourself on your quarter...the Cowboys are fine and this fan needs nothing more than watching them and being realistic. Leadership is still relevant, but so are handling the facts of play. Good night...enjoy the games.

Now tell me it was a conspiracy problem...

What are you talking about? I never said I was afraid I said the opposite are you ok?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

wow, everyday a new spin. first, we can't beat teams with a winning record, so in the end we were 4-4 against teams with a winning record. now the spin is he played soft teams. maybe he softened them up as he curved a few like thanksgiving turkey. and does it mean that Mahomes must really suck now. he is done given he played soft defenses and struggled for an elite QB. is he now an average QB. 2023 stats say so.....come on folks.

 

[JW82]

Ya think maybe Dak is the reason some of their DVOA numbers sucked.

Just like Brice Young made other numbers look good..

Put down the protractor and watch the games, nerd!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

He is both in his personal life and football career a massive DOG LOVER!!!!
Woof.............

you are so burning inside. just down to your bottom hole, burning that Dak did so well this season.

you are oh so miserable. unhappy. frustrated. I love it. love to see you are squirming. and like an Anti-cowboy fan waiting and just thinking to yourself we are going to lose in the playoffs and I am going to just go nuts.

what a loser. you are such a loser in life that this has become your life.

Lol. No one supported a Cowboys QB less than you did for a decade.

You're such an emotional wreck you can't see the hypocrisy.

Your outbursts are as laughable as they are predictable.

Like I said, THE TRUTH HURTS. I told you Romo would not lead this team anywhere because of his priorities (or lack of them when he was in his prime and healthy). By the time he took it seriously, his body was constantly breaking down. How can anyone support that? You clearly supported the player over the team...and you do so even now 8 years later after he was forced to retire. That is the worst kind of emotional wreck I've ever seen from any kind of fan towards any player from any sport. If someone looks up the definition for "emotional wreck" in an encyclopedia, your face is posted on it!

Not tested? One of the very most productive under blitzes and pressure in the NFL. He is very good on 3rd downs and completion per centages.

Oh yea, he has THREE 12 win seasons. What other Dallas QB have a trio?

Who will they blame when the 49ers beat Prescott for the 50th time?

We need some sort of Dak Prescott bingo...

- o line
- defense
- kicker
- The one dropped catch by a WR
- WR apparently ran the wrong route
- offensive scheme
- coaching
- weather
- because he did/didn't wear a glove
- not having home field advantage (ironically Prescott's fault due to his incompetent performances in the losses yet they fail to appreciate this minor point)...
