Video: Strange stat on Cowboys scoring

[khiladi]

Hard to take your comment serious dude when you say WE are currently at 7, then you end by saying don't compare THEM to OURS. So are you Raven or Cowboy fan?

TOs are big but they don't tell the whole story. I would submit that a timely sack or TFL is just s good as a TO. This team is doing that in spades...plus we get turnovers. So yes they are not as good as the Ravens yet....But Micah Parsons is a better player than Ray Lewis as he is much more versatile. Ed Reed is obviously better than Diggs, but Diggs is pretty good in his own right.

We also have a supporting defensive and special teams corp that is as good as anyone out there. We have already beat both of last years Super Bowl Teams....wait for it....with our 2nd string quarterback!!! So heck yeah this Defense is exceptional and can win a Super Bowl as we have already beaten the best!!!

Huh, I said don't compare them as Dallas isn't even close to generating TOs at the pace of that Ravens defense. Even last year's defense, which began the season with 12 TOs in the first 5 games (the Ravens ended up with 14 in the first five games), ended up notching only 35, which is almost HALF of what that Ravens defense produced over the course of the season, which was 61. Nobody is disputing this defense is good, the point is this defense is NOWHERE close to one of the greatest defenses of all time, arguably greatest. To be in that category requires seriously ridiculous play over the course of the season. We are currently at 7 TOs now and we still have an extra game in the season to play and the Giants only scored against the Ravens in the SB, because of a 97 yard kickoff return close to the end of the third, otherwise it would have been a shutout.

And I would even argue our offense is better than there's as it was ranked 14th and scored 20 points a game in a more defense-oriented league and one can only imagine how much of that scoring was predicated on their defense giving Trent Dilfer plenty of opportunities to score within opposing defenses territory. Cooper Rush has already won 2 games without the defense generating a TO, so the 18 PPG as far as it compares to the Ravens is not really a fair comparison.

And if anything, TO differential is way more important than some garbage-time yardage by a QB like Dak, as it relates to winning games. It helped him pad his stats plenty against garbage teams. A flurry of of TOs in a hurry can turn a close scoring game into a blow-out.

You deal with that at the time. We're not throwing it 52 times because it hasn't been necessary.

I don’t want to throw it 52 times or even 42 but we do need more production from the passing game if we’re going to sustain drives and score more points/TDs. We had only 10 first downs last week and reached the redzone only twice you’re not going to beat good teams doing that. The Rams certainly haven’t been a good team so far this season. If we don’t generate more offense on Sunday night than we did last week we’re not beating Philly.

1:35 mark of the video for confirmation. Cowherd says the Cowboys have scored in 13 consecutive quarters. No other team in the league has done that. Odd considering how anemic the offense has been.

Oh and the Cowboys make their debut this season in his top 10 power ranking.

the scoring in Q1 vs the Rams was all defense and special teams. A fumble return and then a fg after a 3 and out following the blocked punt. Its points, but it wasnt offense

 

[noshame]

Losing the TOP and having 240 yards of offense isn't a winning formula. You're looking for reasons to praise them.

Well yeah because I've seen the alternative against San Francisco in Tampa Bay

 

[Diehardblues]

The Cowboys have scored 7 offensive touchdowns during their 4 game winning streak.

Convince yourself that's good enough, if you like, but do you really think it's good enough to march to a championship?

You know it's not, but some of you are too invested in a narrative to acknowledge it. Ask yourself how you got there.

Yea, Egirls have a top 5 defense and guess what, a top 5 offense too.

In all of our championships eras we had top offenses to compliment Doomsday defenses.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Except that scoring 30 points a game can only be better.

I don't think we play Non-Playoff teams the rest of our schedule bud.

Bingo ^

 

[jazzcat22]

Dak will be back to end that streak forthright

Yeah so they don't get a FG in the 2nd quarter, but they get 3 TD's in the 1st or 3rd or 4th. Plus some FG's, maybe add another TD in another quarter they do not get 2 or 3 in.

But that does not meet the narratives of the "dislikers".

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

pure speculation

Actually based on a 6 year sample size of Dak's play it is pure fact.

5-7 more ppg is really not very much and I would say with Dak our coaching staff will likely feel a little more comfortable opening up the playbook and getting a little more aggressive.

He may not be astronomically better than Rush, but he is at least a marginal improvement.

If the bottom line is the guy has lost 3 out of his last 4 games and looked absolutely helpless in the process so tell me what I'm supposed to like and I'll like it.

*** colin!!!

 

[JD_KaPow]

Wow, people will grab onto the thinnest of reeds to advance their narratives.

It's a silly fluke stat. In those 13 quarters, Dallas scored only 3 points in more than half (7) of them. They only scored at all in the 1st quarter against the Rams because of the defense.

Here's another stat. Dallas hasn't scored more than 10 points in any of those quarters. I believe they're the only team in the NFC that has failed to do that. In the AFC, Houston and Denver are the only teams that haven't score more than 10 in a quarter. If those are the offensive juggernauts you aspire to be, well good luck with that.

 

[glimmerman]

we lioterall could have ran thwe wildcat NO QB last week and won, acutlaly im betting many games thats fact so far this year 14.4 give that to dayk we are also 4-0 whats your poinmt, really , you saying dak cant be a below averge qb that doesnt score alot and cant get to 20 and win low scorig games?

which ones because

without a dynamic defense and consistent special teams, and a commitment to the run is when we lose Big games against better talent

with those things much more scoring and guess what longer win streaks.

11-0 as rookie
5-0 in the back half of 18 with a playoff win
3-0 to start 2019
6-0 last year 12-5 daks fault 14 penalties, no run game, and a defense that allowed 4 straight scores to stat a game let alone all game and allowed the run game to control the clock.,this happened many times last year and showed up against the 9ers..this is daks fault??

so daks not capable of being just a jag of a QB? also he should sit and allow rush to be the Jag of backup ?? you mean like 2017 when he didn't have zeke, Tyrone and others and when he played like this the blame wen to him being Jag who couldn't put up more than 200yards and didn't score enough Tds. this is without a run game and poor defense. we lost because we did not have team like we do this year.. Dak had to do it ALL and could not, the expectations that he should have its insanity!!

None of these threads make sense, they act as if its Dak that needed to score 30PPG just to stay in many games in his career, somehow its Dak that commits league record in penalty's, historically bad defense, its Dak that calls pass happy abandon the run game plans, its dak that misses FGs and Xps, its dak that drops passes and can't get open,

you would see who Rush was if that happened in these 4 games...


its dak that ,,.. the zone sees all these issues as Daks issues.. LMAO Its the opposite, if Dak has support of the team , he wins far more games than rush has ever played in..those win streaks prove it.

Pretty much sums it up. But there are people in here (not naming anyone individually) that either are not a fan and are trolls that have fun in here starting stuff. Or maybe fans but have blind hatred for a player and would rather see this team lose and suffer just to prove they are right. So they can blame it on a player they don’t like. And don’t want to be proven wrong.

Holding the last SB contenders AND Tom Brady's Bucs to < 20 points and us having 0 turnovers and winning the games is enough to win a championship.

I know this, trying to get through to those "other" who are ignoring the obvious question and answer

Can dak play down to Cooper Rushes level given these same type of games weve seen so far and moving forward, YES (can Moore ignore the urge to call a more wide open pass happy game plan, hmm not sure LOL)

Can Cooper Rush be a top 10 NFL starter like dak has proven ie can he rise to Daks level if needed, id say NO not likely. is Rush going to win out go undefeated, Unlikely and neither will dak so putting in dak doesn't mean we won't lose game Rush would have eventually done as well.

daks already shown this in my above records Daks had many streaks like this and better when he actually has team support.

wow what a superior condescending post to your fellow zoners

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Cooper Rush gets points when they are needed.

There's no garbage time to his game.

 

[Pantone282C]

Problem is that doesn't work in the playoffs.

Neither does much of anything else in the last several years.

 

[nobody]

Getting Dak back is probably an extra 5-7 ppg improvement over Rush. That will get us to just over league average on the offensive side of the ball and with this defense, it will be enough.

Yes, we clearly saw that week one before Dak was hurt. Oh wait.

I see your point, but then you have to define "opening up the playbook and getting a little more aggressive".

If they pass more they have to run less, any changes to offense will result in a different game,
with possible same better or worse results.
