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.
I think we got a TD on that drive anyway but Daks stats would have been much better

We did and Dak stats dont matter, again the Dak War drives this foolishness (not talking about you but in general) The offense put up 27 points and drove the ball... ITS absolutley what we need with this defense.

265 total yards on offense.

That ain't gonna get it done.

The defense and special teams won that game.
Really not one thing to complain about on the offense - 7 drives - 3 td's and 2 FG's and 2 punts. Drives of 72(FG),60(FG),75(TD) and 50(TD). Add on the other 33 yrd TD drive

We lost out on 2 offensive drives because the defense scored 2 td's taking 2 possessions from the offense. Just on average 2 more drives would be 85 more yards and possibly 7 more points.

It was not necessarily pretty but it was effective - you cannot argue that!

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.
:lmao2: :lmao2: :lmao2:
Wasn't it a 49 yard pass.... Haha

265 total yards equaling 27 points says the offense was put in good field position all night.

They were in those good positions because of the defense.

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.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

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.
They must clean up the dropped passes.

You think we get 27 without the defense getting turnovers and putting us in good field position?

We got 265 yards of offense.

We don't score 27 points without the defense being dominant.
you can what if it all day long but when the offense had the ball they were effecient.. thats the point of the thread.. dont care if you like it because of the QB or not the offense was effecient AND thats what we all asked for with this defense we have... did the defensive performance shock you? I thought you said all off season "We need the offense to not screw it up" then when they do EXACTLY what you want you cry foul... typical.

Why you mad and defensive about it?

The offense didn't screw up because they didn't have to do anything.

What happens when the offense has to carry their weight and pick up slack?

265 total yards will not win many games.

The offense wasn’t bad on Sunday but it was far from fantastic. Our TE’s had some drops and we were only 6-13 on third down. We only had 265 yards total offense. Our defense and special teams dominated the game.

lol look spindoctor i dont care what you say.. I said all along this defense was special and MM would change the offense to this- an effecient driving offense that scores but doesnt take sacks or turn the ball over.. your the one who can't keep your stuff straight, be mad at the win I dont think it shocks anyone to be honest. The kickers are off today they wont notice where all you put the goalposts today so have at it.

It's weird to be upset like you are.

If you think 265 total yards is going to be good enough each week to go all the way then just say so.

If you don't believe that then you agree with me.

So, are you willing to look foolish instead of agree with me?

You're one hundred percent right

The offense was moving the ball and those who say dak only threw for 143 and had 14 completions have an agenda

We were up and by a lot during the game if your defense is playing lights out you don't need big stats you play to assist them and that's what we did

Is 265 yards going to be enough most week or not?

Do you agree with me that it's not or do you believe it is?

You won't answer because you don't want to agree with me lolololololol
