ESPN: Worst in the league in "three and outs" (not true)

[bandfan]

That's how every team wins by scoring more then the other team

Otherwise it's just a participation trophy.......

 

[Craig]

That's what you said.....only way we win is by outscoring the other team....that's how any team wins

Not the browns.

 

[lukin2006]

I'd be more concerned if we had to outscore teams 42-35 or something crazy, so far we put up good points but we don't have to hang 50 on teams to win, and every team has a weakness...

Team Opponent Third Down Efficiency: 2016 NFL Season

https://www.sportingcharts.com/nfl/stats/team-opponent-third-down-efficiency/2016/

Not sure if this is correct, but these stats say we are 22nd...

If I'm incorrect, my apologies...

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Not the browns.

Cause they haven't outscored their opponent

 

[Craig]

Cause they haven't outscored their opponent

We dont know how they win, they might have a different method. We have a few more weeks to find out.

A good defense (Seattle), who shuts down or offense for once and puts their lackluster offense in a position to get a game winning score against our defense could possibly beat us. They don't need to to the 98 Vikings or the 07 Pats. We will get a little taste of this possibility on Thursday against the Vikings, but their offense is even worse than lackluster--more like decrepit.

I'm assuming you mean about going against a great defense??? In response I say: Sheesh! When will this stop? We went against a great green bay defense before all their injuries. We went against a great Cincinnati defense. We went against a great Steelers defense and a great Ravens defense. What more does our offense have to do to make people say other defenses have to prove themselves against our offense? Dak has shown he can move this team against anyone and I'm not scared of the vikings defense.

I'll take our O against any D right now, the NFL now favors offense...KC and Denver both have really good defenses, look at that score...they know offense sell tickets and boost ratings.

We would be sick w Justin Houston on this team. Our defensive woes should be addressed his off season. If we can get Romo's salary off the books, we should get 2-3 FAs to bolster the D

 

[DandyDon52]

Because 10-1 just doesn't cut it on this board.....

it seems that way lol.

Raise your hand if you're tired of the try hard, overachieving, orphan, nickname crap of Rod Marinelli's defenses? Get some damn talent in here. Give me talented players who don't have to work that hard and go by their birth name.

My concern with the is we will miss out on a few guys that bring their lunch pales to work

God I miss that description. Last guy I remember with that description was that Wisconson RT from the year we drafted Smith. Lots of fans wanted him over Smith , the " raw athlete" because he brought " his lunch pale to work.

I don't remember the guys name because his name isnt worth remembering. He's probably literally bringing his lunchpale to work now

And that will continue. We are the Cowboys.




Only Seattle and NE, and given where we thought we'd be when Romo went down, I'm enjoying every second of this season.

I was really just laughing at ESPN saying there is something recently exposed about this defense. We all know what we're dealing with here.

Yes, that fearsome Seattle team that only managed 5 points against the Bucs today. And then the Pats struggle mightily today with the...Jets. After losing at home last week vs. the Seahawks.

I'm just not being impressed by either of them, to be honest.

Other then division games New England has played almost the same teams we have. Our division is much tougher then AFC East though so we are much more impressive

Seattle layed an egg for sure. But our DL is not capable of applying that sort of pressure, so if you think Wilson and company will look like that against Dallas you're mistaken.

And the Jets always give NE fits, but the Pats always seem to make plays when it matters. If a Brady led team in a big game doesn't impress you, I think you're mistaken there as well.

Can we beat either of those teams? Sure. But I would expect a dogfight against either of those teams.
