JG Offense Versus Top 5 Defenses

[gbrittain]

Thought this was interesting.

Dallas played the the #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5 rated defenses in the NFL. Wanted to see how Dallas compared.

#1 Defense Pittsburgh - Dallas put up 289 yards. Only Indy with 290, and the Titans with 322 did better. Not to mention we did that horrible weather is worth noting.

#2 Defense Baltimore - Dallas put up 327 yards. Only Indy with 334, Miami with 359, Houston with 355, and NY with 353 yards did better.

#3 Defense Philly - Dallas put up 380 and 298 yards. Only 2 teams did better than 380 yards and that was Washington with 388 and NY Giants with 401. With the next bar being 298 yards only the Falcons did better with 335 yards.

#4 Defense Washington - Dallas put up 344 and 315 yards. Only NY Giants with 354, NY Giants with 404, and 49ers with 359 did better than Dallas 344.
With the next bar being 315 only the teams already mentioned above did better than 315.

#5 Defense NY Giants - Dallas put up 321 yards (Sorry not taking into account a Brad Johnson led offense). Only Cinncy with 347 yards, Brown with 454 yards, Cardinals with 371 yards, Eagles with 331 yards, Panthers with 343, and Vikings with 328 did better.

So we played the #1 defense once, the #2 defense once, the #3 defense twice, the #4 defense twice, and the #5 defense twice. Half of our games came against the top 5 defenses in the NFL.

Romo missed 3 games, Barber our starting RB essentially missed the last 4 games, our second string RB missed from week seven on, and we lost our starting Guard and replaced him with 'Ole Procter and Dallas still finished 13 in offensive yardage in the NFL.

Again, Stats never really show the true story.

When one watches the games, then Jason Garrett's failures are alot more appearant.

Great stats there. You're not always going to come out on the winning side of football. Just the way the ball bounces. Some people fail to realize this, and because we did not win against some great defenses, people think Garrett is terrible and our offense needs to be revamped.

I laugh at those people.

 

[Yoshimitsu]

These stats are terribly misleading.

 

[Everlastingxxx]

Excuses much?

Homers are alive and well at the Zone.

 

[Cochese]

18th ranked offense..
What?

 

[ajk23az]

DYK: Out of 16 games the Cowboys had, 9 of those games were against top 10 defenses.

Eagles x2
Giants x2
Commanders x2
Steelers
Ravens
Bucs

There you go 18.7 points, Garrett makes me wet my pants.
What a joke. Some are so deeply brainwashed.

 

[CF74]

The only stat that matters is that we lost.

 

[ajk23az]

There you go 18.7 points, Garrett makes me wet my pants.
What a joke. Some are so deeply brainwashed.

Cowboys average 18.7.

Steelers give up 13.9 (We scored 13)
Commanders give up 18.5 (We scored 24 & 14)
Giants give up 18.4 (We scored 20 & 14 w/ Brad Johnson)
Eagles give up 18.1 (We scored 41 & 6)
Bucs give up 20.2 (We scored 13 w/ Brad Johnson)
Ravens give up 15.3 (We scored 24)

We were pretty much right on par with every other team in the NFL...

 

[Yeagermeister]

There are lies, damn lies and statistics.

3 of those 5 teams are still in the SuperBowl hunt

Steelers we scored less
Commanders we scored less in the first game
Giants we scored less in the first game
Eagles we scored less in the second game
Bucs we scored less

So 5 times we scored less, is this the point you are trying to make? Please clarify.

 

[ajk23az]

Thanks, do you have the Turnover margin handy?

Turnover margin for all of those games?

-9

Cowboys had 21 TO's in those 9 games
Opponents had 12 TO's in those 9 games.

 

[SLATEmosphere]

Some of those number are greatly inflated..

 

[ajk23az]

Steelers we scored less
Commanders we scored less in the first game

Eagles we scored less in the second game
Bucs we scored less

Take 2 of those away (Bucs & Giants) when we have a QB that can't throw an 8 yard out...

3 games FOR sure we scored less (Commanders and Eagles & I can give you the Steelers but it was 1 point..)

 

[JordanTaber]

The problem is, with this level of offensive talent, the team should rank in the top 2 or 3 against every one of those opponents.

Hell, in the 2nd game against the Giants, 6 teams did better. That puts that outing right in the middle of the rest of the NFL.
