Was Looking At Our Rankings This Year. Not Good

[Beast_from_East]

We are currently 13th in scoring offense and 26th in scoring defense.

So we have a middle of the pack offense and a bottom 5 ish defense........we are actually lucky to be 2-2 right now.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

7th in points per drive.

23rd in opposing teams points per drive.

I suspect both rankings to improve. As the season progresses. Rough start to the year due in part to opposition and execution.

Numbers don't tell the whole story. We thoroughly outplayed the Giants and Cardinals.

The only lopsided game was Denver. We should have beat the Rams.

IMO, we are unlucky to be 2-2. We should be 3-1 for sure.

Meh. That one stinker of a game in Denver really skews a 4 game sample size.

I'm curious why you think we should have beat the rams? They severely outplayed Dallas in the second half, totally outclassed them.

That game should have been put out of reach in the first half.
The Rams were ready to die but we let them hang around.

We would have played the same four teams we've played either way. The first place schedule doesn't kick in until we play GB.

 

[StarOfGlory]

I'm not worried. Let's see these rankings after eight games. We could just as easily be 3-1.

We've played last year's three top defenses so far, and we put up 30 points and 440 yards in the other game. The offensive rankings will improve. The defense...yeah, they stink.

Oh, and we're not lucky to be 2-2. We won our 2 games comfortably and were close in one loss. The blowout loss skews things. The overall numbers aren't a good proxy for expected record over such a small number of games.

You are right. The Cowboys should be 3-1 now.
