Because teams go up and down the field on Dallas. They don't score much, but they move the ball plenty.

It's been like this for years

Our offenses since 2016 have had to overcome horrible starting field position from poor special teams, slow pace of play, bad scheme due to having a poor OC, least amount of penalties called against the other team, AND towards the bottom in takeaways every year.

We started one drive at the 10. Oh wait that was our 10...

I miss Adams threads and will forever hate the idiot trolls who ran him off

Dallas had the 3rd best drive-starting field position in the league in 2017.

Dallas has started two drives inside their own 10...and scored TDs both times.

5th, but true. 20th last year, and 29th this year, 15th in 2016, and 30th in 2015.

Where's your data from? Mine's from Football Outsiders: they discard take-a-knee drives, maybe that's the discrepancy.

They won't be happy until they have a board full of haters and trolls. Wait, that kind of contradicts itself, they will never be happy. Regardless of anything.

Profootballreference is where I get 90% of my data from
FO is also very good

"Waaaaaaah, this is much to critical after three wins."

Expect a contradicting xwalker post or suckport calling you out.

We field punts inside the 10 yard line. Not sure why but we do.

And a lack of turnovers
Fortunately our offense can move the ball pretty well

 

[fifaguy]

Because the defense bends..

Not forcing turnovers.

And no matter who is back fielding punts, they are waving for fair catches even inside their own ten. Never any room for returns, if there is a return it's called back on a penalty.

Drives me nuts.

That's what I've been saying. Bend don't break give you a long field

The Zone has not only lost good posters but some good inside intel that went with them.

Yeah, I was thinking lack of turnovers and bad specials teams.
