Offense was fantastic vs the Giants

[Reality]

Time to destroy this idiotic myth that the offense "struggled" Sunday night.

We know the defense was spectacular and the FG block TD was enormous.

Now let's talk offense.

Dallas scored 27 points in 7 drives (3.9 points per drive) with Dak at QB.

On what planet is that "bad" or "sputtering" like I've been reading here??????

3.9 points per drive is "bad"????

It would literally be #1 in the NFL BY A MILE if we kept up that pace for a season.


NFL average for all teams in Week 1 was 1.65 points per drive, and we more than doubled that.

Oh, and we did it in pouring rain, on the road.

Excellent start to the season from ALL 3 phases.

I think the offense played well, but it was clear they were off somewhat most likely due to not playing together outside of practice since last season.

If the game had gone differently, such as the Giants jumping out to a 16-0 lead, the offensive rust may have been a lot more prominant.

For example, the dropped balls cost the team points and the Pollard fumble almost took away points, but because the lead was so big they are deemed "things they need to work on" rather than "things that cost them the game".

In any case, I think it's way too early to judge the offense, defense or special teams with only one game played, regardless of how it played out.

However, there is definitely justification for optimism from all three areas of the team.

I would clearly put Dak in the front running for league MVP……can I get an Amen?

In a driving deluge of rain, the offense did OK. Would've looked a lot better had Hendershot caught the TD pass but it is what it is. I am sure they are going to want to look better this week, the TE's looked the worst.

You can't respond with anything but sarcasm because "facts" certainly aren't your friend.

In fact, you get straight up CLOWNED any time you try bringing facts up in an argument.

"B-b-but only one long completion in 24 attempts!? Dak sucked!!!"

Poor little guy.

No sarcasm . He’s on pace to be the best in the NFL , as you’ve said.

Hes the wind underneath my wings and I will openly pledge my undying devotion to him

From now on nothing but over the top praise……buckle up, buckeroo.

keep those threads a’commin.

No! Don't do it! The haters provide some much needed comedy relief around here.

 

[shabazz]

If ya can’t beat ‘em, join em……could be a pretty fun change this season

Nope, I’m spreading and spewing nothing but hot love in any and all Dakota threads.

 

[Whirlwin]

Tell us more about how Dak sucked because he only completed one 40-yard pass.

"DURRRR ONLY 27 POINTS IN 7 DRIVES!?!?!"

Literally on pace for best in the NFL.

Keep humiliating yourself.

No need to crap on our victory over an elite division rival…..

Just trying to put it in perspective

Nothing wrong with critiquing, totally agree. The game could’ve gone. Totally different and special teams. Didn’t stop them on that first drive , yes love the results. But they ran right down our throat.

Once DQ shut down the Danny Dime bootleg, it was really over for the Giants.

 

[shabazz]

I would agree. They had a short field for a 38 yard TD drive in the 2nd quarter and the second half they were playing a team that was completely demoralized and had to be staring at the clock the whole time.

Still the first couple scoring drives of the game when this was competitive were 9 plays and 11 plays, both resulting in fgs, so they were able to move the ball.

Why do some always need to move the goalpost when Dak is involved.

so he had short fields….big freaking deal. It’s not his fault he’s so efficient and a leader

 

[PAPPYDOG]

MEAN MACHINE........

 

[stiletto]

The only perspective allowed is absolute positivity.

we Will achieve a single , homogenous voice where all things will be positive and no room for critique or opposing voices…..they will be considered trolling and quite possibly hate speech.

and I’ll be leading that charge

Why are you acting so butt-hurt? Because of the non-Dak thread thing?

Be careful, I said that, and the whole

too funny. But we can read between the lanes.

Yes, but you still have to agree. That first drive was like this is going to be a long day for us.

 

[Tabascocat]

The offense did better than I thought they would, considering a changed/altered scheme with no preseason work in a driving rainstorm. It will be a work in progress for the first month or so. I do like them using more horizontal field and a lot less curls. Just drive the bus, minimal turnovers and more efficiently and this team can do something with that defense. We will know more after the SF game on which direction they go in the playoffs.

 

[stiletto]

Yes, but you still have to agree. That first drive was like this is going to be a long day for us.

Everyone was thinking that but thankfully we don't have Rod Marinelli anymore. Think we all have a little PTSD from some of our previous DC's.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

265 total yards on offense.

That ain't gonna get it done.

The defense and special teams won that game.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Dak war aside- yes if this offense remains effecient like this this TEAM will win alot of games, period. I dont need the jeckle and Hyde offense who can score 50 then 20... Drive the Ball, Score points dont turn it over... you put that with this defense and now you have something that gets it done in the playoffs. Give credit to MM he said what he was going to do and so far he has done it...LETS GO COWBOYS!!!!

yup because if the offense scores were all that mattered it would've been 27 to 3... thats WAY closer than 40 -0...
