It says they can put up 16 more points on us than we can them on our own home turf.The GOAT- the mighty Tom Brady led an offense ranked 17th this season. In fact, looking at the Bucs offensive stats in both wins and losses, it’s amazing they won 8 games.
First, look at how the Buccaneer offense ranks in the 2022 season:
So how did the Bucs offense perform in wins vs losses?
- Total offense- Ranked 17th
- Rushing offense- Ranked 32nd- dead last.
- Passing offense- Ranked #2
- Scoring offense- Ranked #25 (only averaged 18 pts per game)
WINS VS Losses
So it’s obvious that if they can run the ball even a little, their chances of winning are greatly increased. The Bucs were second only to the chiefs in passing yards, mostly because they were behind so often.
- Rushing- avg 95 yds per game in wins/ 55 yds in losses
- Passing- avg 268 yds per game in wins/291 yds in losses
Other interesting tidbits:
On paper and statistically speaking, the Cowboys are clearly the better team. That does not always translate in the playoffs. But- to me it’s clear, if the Cowboys bring their A game on both sides of the ball, we should win. But again, that’s why the games are played on the field, not on paper.
- At the half- in the 8 games the Bucs won, they led at half in 5 of them. In the 9 games they lost, they trailed at half in 7 of them. So you could argue if we are leading at halftime, chances are much greater for a win.
- The Bucs only scored 28 offensive TDs, compared to 52 offensive TDs for the Cowboys. That 28 TD number is incredibly anemic TD total for an NFL offense.
And that's when our defense was healthy. Js
