Team stats tell the story

Aaron Rogers is in that situation too, how are the Jets doing again? The way teams play together matters more than the cap.

Cap hits are often misleading . While Allens cap hit is relatively low this year after his resigning bonus , his cap hits will be much higher in years to come .

Dak is in his final year of his current 4 year contact which is largest cap hit. Previous 3 years cap hits for Dak was 17.19 and 26 million.

And don't forget penalties. Dallas is 10th in accepted penalties against in only 12 games. After tonight they will be in the top 5 most likely. They are 4th in flags thrown against them, again in only 12 games compared to the teams about them that have played 13 games. If Dallas commits 9 penalties tonight, they will tie Baltimore for first place in this dubious category.

Before anyone chimes in with the injury excuse, what were the rankings before the injuries started piling up? My guess is they were very similar, maybe even worse.

I think the #s were worse when Dak was QB. Players don't want to fight hard for the dude. Not like they do Cooper. Not that Cooper is better it's the team likes him and doesn't like Dak.

That is probably the only stat category we can lead the NFL this year.

Talk football or shut up...own up for being around a while. Does being a black quarterback make a difference for Prescott in Dallas. Now respond to the question...Old Man.

You been stealing Moonshine been around a while and running the team down for attitude?

Cowboys in the game tonight? No crying excuses now or insult on answers.

Nothing was directed at you, if your butt is sore respond to the topic or that is on YOU.

Stop with the black stuff... its unbecoming.

The rest.. I understand the words.. just not in the order you have put them.

As former Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells famously once said, “You are what your record says you are.” The Cowboys are 5-7, 3rd in the NFC East and by a thread still mathematically in the playoff race, but they have a putrid -91 point differential. I’m not one who sees this team as anything beyond a below average team. And the team‘s stats bear that out.

As we all know, stats can tell us a lot but can also mislead. But looking at the Cowboys through 12 games, these team stats seem to be a fairly accurate tale of what this team is. Here are the offensive and defensive TEAM stats and how they rank in the NFL this year:

OFFENSE

• Total yards per game: 322 yards per game. Ranked 22nd.
• Total points per game: 20.7 Ppg. Ranked 21st.
• Passing yards per game: 236 yards per game. Ranked 12th.
• Rushing yards per game: 86 yards per game. Ranked 31st.
• 3rd down conversions: 35.44%. Ranked 24th.
• Time of possession: 28:48. Ranked 29th.
• Turnover differential: -7. Ranked 27th.
• Point differential: -91. Ranked 27th.

DEFENSE

• Total yards per game: 360 yards per game. Ranked 26th.
• Total allowed points per game: 28.3 ppg. Ranked 29th.
• Passing yards per game: 212 yards per game. Ranked 13th.
• Rushing yards per game: 148 yards per game. Ranked 31st.
• 3rd down conversion rate: 34.88 %. Ranked 6th. (Surprising. But it also shows that teams are making big plays on 1st and 2nd down)
• Time of possession: 31:12. Ranked 29th.
• Interceptions: 9. Ranked 12th.
• Sacks: 33. Ranked 10th.

It’s fairly clear this is a team with problems on both sides of the ball. But it is also more accurate to say this team’s defense (when healthy) is better than the offense. And while the defense STILL has major problems stopping the run, its sack and interception numbers are above average. To me the message is clear: This offense is really bad. Averaging 20 points a game will get you beat most of the time.

We are tied for next to last in points allowed. I don't know how anyone can claim that the defense is better than the offense. Offense is bad too, but still 21st in points scored.

and you know this because you have access to the locker room? or your cousin's neighbours, brother's girlfriend's, college roommate's neighbour is the janitor at the cowboys and over hears players in the locker room......

I agree…this is not a very good football team.

Stick to tossing bales. You don't approach my respects of sacrifices. Fact or just respect other's path having walked by others and in the present as well.

Words were laid out to fight for a country and then to give respect to those values .... not yours to mess with.

The US beef herd is already the smallest since 1961 after years of depressed prices, severe droughts and surging costs forced farmers to send more females to slaughter. Now, the possibility of new tariffs and immigration reform risk constraining supplies further still. Just last and carry on ... or blame Jerry. He's just a Cowboy. Does this affect game day meals?

Dude you can't see it on the field.
