Dallas Week 1 DVOA rankings

[Silver Surfer]

We are tied for last in everything because we are 0-1.

16 more games to fix that.

It'd be better if they didn't take all 16 to fix the problem..... Let me suggest they do it in 1.

John Fassel has been complete garbage.

Wasn’t just Greg’s misses. The coverage teams were trash too.

I have no idea who he has pictures of but he has been the worst. Apparently he is living off his prior accomplishments. Maybe the country club culture agrees with him here.

 

[Bobhaze]

The defense is a lot better than 2020.

I hope so. I want them to. We don’t have much evidence yet either way after only one game.

We have a lot of evidence. Just look at the way they play and then go watch a game from last year.

 

[rambo2]

22nd defensively. And people are pleased with the defense. 8th for the offense isn’t great either. That’s underperforming for the skill we have.

They were one play away from beating the Super Bowl champions on their field. lol

 

[rambo2]

We are going to need at least a top 15 D... to make a serious postseason run.

Looks like they have a decent shot at that.

 

[rambo2]

This team so far is exactly like 2020.
It only took one post to be true.

In 2020 they couldn't stop the run and had dtackles that did absolutely nothing. This defense is much better.

They played one game. We don't know if it got better. The defensive rating for that one game sucked.

 

[rambo2]

They played one game. We don't know if it got better. The defensive rating for that one game sucked.

Lol, I know that it got better. Are you blind? And how does it suck when you are playing the champions and almost beat them. It is ridiculous to say that.

 

[JD_KaPow]

These numbers don’t include any opponent adjustments. Those start getting folded in after week 4. So they don’t mean much yet.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'm willing to give the defense some time to get it together and get more and more comfortable with Quinn but what is up with special teams? I've seen nothing from "Bones" to show he is improving this unit.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Yep . Horrible .

 

[JoeKing]

One of the FGs was 60 yards. I just see a blocked punt for a TD being much worse.

I absolutely agree, but the statisticians don't see it that way. They see a blocked punt as just one mistake while the Cowboys suffered numerous mistakes on STs.

 

[Clove]

22nd defensively. And people are pleased with the defense. 8th for the offense isn’t great either. That’s underperforming for the skill we have.

So you're saying that although we played a top-tier defensive unit in Tampa Bay, we should've completely dominated them? Is that what you're saying?

 

[Clove]

Where does the Tampa defense rank after week 1?

24th defensively.

 

[Starforever]

What is Tampas?

 

[Starforever]

22nd defensively. And people are pleased with the defense. 8th for the offense isn’t great either. That’s underperforming for the skill we have.

One game.

 

[Starforever]

24th defensively.

I guess we leave it up to their fans to whine about their rankings after one game.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

A lot of lost game reviews have said the defense looks better but honestly, did it?

Bucs did whatever they wanted to do with them.

22nd defensively. And people are pleased with the defense. 8th for the offense isn’t great either. That’s underperforming for the skill we have.

It depends on the rankings….if we are 8th but there’s not much of a difference in scoring between 1 and 8? I can live with that.
