The Cowboys are the only team in the NFL who has not achieved this goal

[Hostile]

Are you intentionally being obtuse ?

The offense (Red's specialty) is not scoring in the first half to prevent the come from behind wins. The defense is not scoring either, nor special teams.

Come on man...

No, I just think this is a silly "goal." I had no idea it was a "goal" to score 11 points or more in the first half. I always figured the "goal" was to win, which we have not done well enough. But there is no correlation of that to this "goal" as evidenced by McLovin's commentary which seems to be being ignored. I wonder how many times the 2000 Ravens scored 11 points or more in the first half?

So how many times in the 2nd half, because I believe that is a half, have we scored more than 10 points?

Well we all know that the first half is when the game is won. These threads are what trolls thrive off of.

The goal is to come out and not get your *** handed to you on offense.

Come on Hos it shines a light on why this team rarely has a convincing win which is because the team is always fighting to come back in the second half because of little pts in the 1st half.

Oh please. This team has a poor OL. They aren't run blocking near well enough. They aren't pass blocking near well enough. Fix that and the Red Zone scoring improves. Fix that and we score more. Fix that and we win more. We are relying on our QB to make plays, bashing him when eh has to and on pure improvise mode me makes a mistake, and hunting for scapegoats left and right. Well, there they are, the 5 guys who block for our Offense. The only one I have to keep is Tyron Smith. Livings I can live with, but the other 3 are not up to par and we're paying for it.

Happy?

It's not a goal. It's a reflection of how poorly we start games.

When our offense can't score, we get behind (because our defense doesn't get turnovers). When we get behind, we can't run the ball at all. When we can't run the ball, we have to pass it alot. When we pass it alot, we get more a)penalties b)sacks and c)give up more turnovers.

Sure it'd be alright to crawl to 10 points in the first half if you have Ed Reed and Ray Lewis on defense, but we're playing with McCray and Ernie Sims.

The point of the stat is it is a reason WHY we lose. We have a hard time scoring points until later in the game. When we are behind. When we are behind, bad things happen and we cannot overcome them.

The 2000 Ravens scored more than 10 pts before the half a total of 7 times out of 16 regular season games.

I am going to be honest. I really don't care. They won because they stopped other teams from scoring. There are a myriad of ways to win, and 11 or more points in the first half remains arbitrary unless you can show a correlation across the entire NFL to winning and losing. Yeah, it's alarming. Enjoy your panic.

Obviously when you start slow it makes winning harder. The fact that we're the only team in football to not score more than 10 in the first half clearly shows this is a serious problem with this team.

I don't know how you could look at it any differently. Unless you just aren't interested in an honest evaluation of the team.

are you serious?

how long have you been on the forum? (purely rhetorical question so please dont answer)

Easy:

Replace total offense with Passing offense

We can't run the ball
We can't execute in the redzone
We're playing from behind often
We create to many penalties

Not being able to run is not an excuse for not scoring in the redzone New Orleans has the best red zone offense with 3 freakin rushing TD's

greenbay is a better red zone offense and they have no running game.

The issue is execution from stupid penalties, to over thrown balls to dropped passes etc etc

you did read the part about MORE THAN 10 points, right?

THIS! ^^^

Dallas' epidemic phenomenon of starting slow on offense mostly has to do with a sub-par OL. Still I think the receivers can get better too, but we can't run the ball becuase the OL can't run block (most of them can't pass block either), which makes us so one dimensional we're easy to defend.

And Defenses know this so they gameplan us acordingly, by taking away our deep pass, letting us try to run because they know we can't and forcing us to march the length of the filed.

And defenses do this becuase they know if they make us take more plays to go down the filed we have a nuch beter chance to commit a penalty and turnover - alot if which is primarily rooted in the OL's bad play, but also secondarily on receivers not executing correctly.

 

[Gaede]

Hos, I respect your posting but lately you have developed into quite the 'baiter' yourself.

 

[CowboyMcCoy]

Great info. Tell me the correlation in reference to the Chiefs who have achieved this benchmark as well as how it puts Atlanta and Houston at risk when they don't.

Thanks in advance.

It has to do with how the points up at the end of the game. Scoring more in the 1st half gives you more points. I don't know why, but I felt the need to point that out.
