Those "crappy" defenses allowed below the league average in points per drive in their other 10 games. The 17th-ranked Rams' defense would be 11th if they hadn't played the Cowboys. The 20th-ranked Packers' D would rank 13th.
Rams' points allowed per drive
1.73 vs other teams
3.10 vs. Dallas
Packers' points allowed per drive
1.79 vs. other teams
3.44 vs. Dallas
2 of those turnovers were fumbles on a desperation play that featured five laterals. Another one was Switzer on a punt return, when the offense wasn't on the field. Otherwise, we've turned it over 4 times in 51 offensive drives, which would rank in the Top 5 for fewest turnovers per drive.
Your stats are all over the place trying to draw ridiculous correlations.
You stated the following:
“In its last two games, the Dallas defense has faced 18 opponent drives and allowed a score on 14 of them (78%).
The NFL average is 36%.”
What does the NFL average across the board have anything to do with thr LAST TWO GAMES and who we played against the last two games?
I keep asking you for specific stats, then you flop to other stats.
As I said, two series of field goals (100% scoring per drive) versus one TD and one three and out (50% scoring per drive) tells us these percentages can in fact mean nothing, because the team which had a worse percentage in scoring per drive can still won, if they are scoring more TDs and less field goals.
So logically, you trying to establish some correlation for the LAST TWO games with the league average is statistically meaningless in reality the way you are using it.
Again, if our offense did not turn over the ball leaving to seven, would we have won the Green Bay game?
Last time you brought up another absurd state about when a team scored thirty points exactly, what they’re record was, as if teams when they score in the thirties, only score exactly thirty. And even then, that ‘thirty’ didn’t even occur in the Dallas game.
So you basically totally ignored a whole set of games where BOTH teams actually scored in the thirties and how regularly it happens. Why, because then you trying to establish the offense did enough to win, because it scored in the thirties has no basis. The fact is teams scoring in the thirties happen regularly, it still doesn’t mean the offense did enough..
