Fewest Points Allowed by NFL Defenses

[CT Dal Fan]

In Four Wins: Cowboys 128, Opponents 30

In Two Losses: Opponents 70, Cowboys 26

So the Cowboys either administer the whuppin or get whupped themselves.

If you only enjoy successes, you aren't a fan.....no go back to class. Recess is over.

You enjoy failure?

Ew.

I wouldn’t want you on my team or coaching my kids.

Ew.

I wouldn’t want you on my team or coaching my kids.

I would not any part of you or your DNA on my team. I don't put up with negativity or quitters on my teams.

I wouldn’t want to be around people that enjoying failing anyways.

Fix the offense McCarthy!!!!!!!!!!

It is sad that we spent all those years knowing that our defense wasn't good enough and when it finally appears to be good enough, the offense doesn't appear to be.

How do you stand yourself.....you're a fan of a failing team that you hate and you are constantly spewing negative crap...LOL!!! Must suck....kinda feel sorry for you, but it appears to make you happy. Don't pass it down....

How do I enjoy myself?

I don’t attach myself to this organization. I am a fan that roots, not a fan that allows wins/loses to affect my happiness.

I feel bad for people that have attached their feelings and happiness into things they have no control over.

It’s easy to know who those fans are. They’re the blindly supporting and blindly positive ones. They’re the ones that aren’t able to realistically judge the team in any way and get really emotional towards the fans that can do that.

Talk about something that must suck….

 

[DFWJC]

The defense has been mostly good.


We are 4th in points per game allowed

But keep in mind that we have only played 2 offenses in the top 20....and have played the two lowest-scoring teams in the league already.
It's been a very easy ride so far, relatively speaking.

We win and all you do is criticize Dak....no enjoyment..
You feel bad for those that are happy even though we have no control?
So you miserable haters have control??
Pathetic!

You don’t hate losing.

You’re Jerry’s perfect fan.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I hate losing when I have control over MY teams....my paycheck depended on me winning. That's why I used to work 90 hours a week. It also made me grow up as a fan and realize that no amount of crying was gonna change what the Cowboys or Longhorns would do.....so, now that I'm retired, I enjoy the game for what it is.....a game. I have a mother that passed away, a father that I take care of that is 88 a daughter that I support through school, with NO student loans and a wife of 33 years to spend my days with. Not to mention, everything we do to support her elderly mom and aunt....and my cows...that's what I worry about, not a damn football, game. Bigger things in life than the Cowboys, they are just a way to pass my time and take a break from the real world.

Then why you get so mad whenever someone isn’t happy with the organization?

You have all that, and this is a break from the real world for you, but you’ll hate on anyone that doesn’t blindly fall in line.

Tell me how your behavior here makes any sense with what you said above.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

If we were on a BYE every week....we'd be #1!


No mention that the list was played after we had our BYE, when so many other teams have played 1 more game than us?

 

[aikemirv]

40 of those points are from one bad game

2 bad defensive games cost us 2 losses.

Because ignorance is hard to ignore. Also, part of the fun for me is giving trolls and haters a hard time. Keep up the good work.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

You're not a fan....all you see and post are negatives.....that's not a fan. Be critical all you want, but constant hate and negatives is not a fan. Fans enjoy the game, you don't.

He enjoys the game, just not the Cowboys.

 

[12+88=7]

Considering not every team has had a Bye Week yet, going by total points is a tad misleading.

I mean 1 and 2 have played 7 games and still have given up less points than 3, 4 and 5 on that list, all which have only played 6 games. That's pretty impressive.

Having said that, even when looking at PPG given up, Dallas drops just one spot to #4.

So the REAL rankings should be:
1. Ravens
2. Chiefs
3. 49ers
4. Dallas
5. Bills

All 5, and are the only teams, giving up < 17.0 PPG.

Bucs are actually #6, while the Browns are actually #10.

Just sayin'

This takes into account special team scores, safeties, and returns against the offense when the defense isn't on the field.

 

[CCBoy]

Wonder what TOP is for those offenses to keep opponents offense off the field. Sometimes that has a lot to do with another teams scoring.

Game momentums...says a lot.

 

[tomsanders921]

Fix the offense McCarthy!!!!!!!!!!

We've also had the easiest schedule in the league bases off opponents records.

The one game we played a team with a winning record we got beat by 30.

This is a good defense. But it's definitely not as good as the stats show to this point. The diggs loss really hurt

Why lie?

If watching the Cowboys was just fun to you then you'd do just that and not get butt hurt at the ones that hate losing.

True.

But that actually hurts SF and Dallas when it comes to teams in the current Top-5 Total PPG given up:
1. Baltimore has a PR for a TD
2. KC has a Pick 6 accounted to them
5. Bills has a PR for a TD

With Baltimore and KC already ahead of Dallas that does not change. But if we removed Non-D TDs given up, Dallas would drop to #5 they were only ahead of the Bills by 0.2 PPG, but be 0.7 PPG behind if you just removed 6 points (I have no idea if the XP was made or missed).

So even in the original Tweet/X/Whatever, they have the Bucs over the Bills even though the Bils gave up a ST TD, but TB has 0 non-Defensive TDs scored against them. The only reason "TB has less total points scored against them" than Buffalo is because the Bucs have had a bye week, and the Bills have not.

Maybe you can make a case for the Browns to move up, since they are the only team in the Top-10 for Total PPG that have given up multiple Non-D TDs (FR and P6), but again, they also have had a Bye already, whereas the Ravens, Chiefs, 49ers, Bills, Saints and Falcons (all ranking above the Browns in total PPG) has not.

In any case, using "Total X stat" for a stat comparison during a point of the season where ~1/3rd of the teams have played 1 less games than ~2/3rds of the League is ignorant at best, and deceitful at worst.

It's an obvious advantage for Offenses that have not had a bye week yet. And it's an obvious disadavantage for Defenses that have not had a bye week yet.

Just pointing it out.
