There’s plenty in your post that is refutable. It’s laughable to the point that it isn’t worth writing a point by point reply. Your post is completely myopic, and doesn’t even acknowledge any of the defenses or special teams failings during the games that also created problems.
But here are two tidbits you just happened to have left out.
1. Our offense had like the 3rd or 4th worst starting field position in the entire league. But yeah bad field position won’t affect points scored.
2. for the Packers game you yourself mentioned that the offense didn’t start scoring until they were down 31-3 in the first half. And then immediately after blame the offense. Which is downright laughable considering the defense had to give up 31 points in one half, to be down that far.
3. The defense was bottom 5 in the league in forcing turnovers. Turnover differential has an incredibly high correlation to winning games in the NFL. It’s hard to win the turnover differential when the defense doesn’t force any. Yet the defense not forcing turnovers doesn’t impact the outcome of games.
The truth is. You writing a post that wants to pins all 8 losses squarely on the offense without acknowledging any shortcoming by the WORST special teams in the league and a defense that got manhandled at times and didn’t force turnovers, has to be one of the most single minded and ignorant posts I have read in a long time.
which is exactly why my first response was all facepalms, because the sheer simple minded ignorance of that post was dumbfounding.
Was the offense perfect? No. Did poor offensive performance cost the team some games? Yes. But blaming every loss squarely on the offense? That is pure nonsense and shows complete ignorance about the sport of football.
It takes an entire football team to win and lose. Just writing a post blaming ONE PLAYER for every loss is plain dumb. It’s dumb to the point where I want to believe you truly aren’t that ignorant but instead are just biased against Dak to the point where you just want to blame every problem the team has against him. Which is again, laughable.
Every time you talk you remind me of that movie the Waterboy when LT is telling the kids not to do crack.
1. The Defense was 11th ranked in the entire league. Turnovers or no Turnovers.... if they got more turnovers they would have been top 3. You cannot expect everything to be perfect every season.... & that is exactly my point.
2. The biggest reason why the Defense was bleeding points was because the Dak attack would go a quick 3 & out. Dallas completely changed and lost their identity this season. They stopped moving the chains and running the football.
3. The Defense did not run a scheme of receiving a high propensity of turnovers. Bend but do not break will force a lot of punts.... not turnovers.
4. A lot of the field position was because the Offense could not move the football at all. Even having drives of getting 1-2 first downs before punting would have been beneficial.
5. Bad field position to good field position on an average for the entire season..... LOL..... what are we talking here an extra 3 yards?..... an extra 5 yards? If your Offense cannot overcome that than you have bigger problems.
6. If you thought the Defense at 11th in the entire NFL was bad in 2019.... you should watch the sh..show coming in 2020 when we say goodbye to half the starters because of Dak's new contract..... LOL.
7. The only reason why Dak & the offense put up points or yards in a couple of the losses was because the other team was also scoring. If the Packers & Bears were not scoring they never would have been playing such a soft prevent Defense. The end result still would have been the same.... A LOSS. It just would have been more like the Patriots loss, the Eagles loss, the Saints loss, etc.
So internet tough guy If you want to debate that is fine. But I see 2 problems.
1. My IQ is higher.
2. Facts are on my side.
In addition....
3. I do not 100% blame Dak. I have said all along he is average. My entire problem with him is the Cowboys are about to reward his play & achievements with the highest paid football contract of ALL TIME. Having 1 playoff win in 4 years does not quantify this financial reward. I have higher standards I want SB's..... not a wildcard win every 4th year.
4. I also do not like people that are full of BS & that are 2 faced. Dak says he is all about the team & winning..... His contract negotiations say otherwise. I put more stock in people's actions than their words. TALK IS CHEAP.
5. Considering I was offered the opportunity to play professional football in the CFL I trust that I know more about football than you.
6. Where do I blame just ONE player? I blame the entire Offense.... but yes since the rest of the Offense is all pro players at every position. The lion's share of blame does go to the QB.
