Eleven possessions started in opponent's territory...

[Bob Sacamano]

We lead the NFL in offensive touchdowns right now. It's just that none of them have come when we've started in our opponents' territory.

I'm just saying that we're not very good on the opponent's side of the field, on offense

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...thats gross

Thanks for clearing that up. The OP should have been more clear.

Moose mentioned it during the game. The OP probably assumed the readers were watching the game.

No. Killer. Instinct.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

0 TDs, 2 FGs.

Discuss.

that's one of those "huh" stats that Moose and Dick Stockton used to have on their broadcasts.

We're not very good when we START on the opponent's side, but we are very good when we're on that side.

It could just be a fluke. Suppose we scored significantly more points when we started at our own 20 than when we started at our own 35. Would that mean anything? Probably not. This could be the same thing, only more extreme. It means we've wasted a lot of opportunities, but it might not say anything about our capabilities.

Personally I think part of it is playcalling in those situations.

I think Garrett is good, but he's not perfect. He's still new to playcalling and has a lot to learn (believe it or not).

Yep. It was mentioned on the air last week during the Rams game as well, when the number was 10.

I figured the strong majority would know what I was talking about and the rest would quickly figure it out... my mistake.

Mods, feel free to edit my original post to clarify.
