No you nailed it. Even with the amazing season that Dak had, he couldn't get them past 8-8. So what does that tell you?
Defense, coaching, special teams were pretty bad in order for that to happen.
What happened this offseason?
-Defense was the main focus of FA and the draft
-Entire coaching staff was fired save the OC (should tell you something)
-FG kicker was fired midseason and cowboys went out of their way to sign a kicker in FA
-New special teams coach.
Yep. We almost broke the record for lowest kick return avg for a season. And we finished 30th in ST DVOA due to a strong finish by Forbath. I think I calculated that we were giving up 50yds/game in the special teams battle alone when calculating yds per k/p return and normalizing them based on an avg of 3 punt and kick returns per game.
Final 2019 DVOA rankings
Dallas Offense: 2nd KC Offense: 3rd
Dallas Defense: 19th KC Defense: 14th
Dallas Special Teams : 30th. KC ST: 2nd
Anyone who claims Dak is the reason for 8 losses doesn't want to believe anything else.
