Why our losing streak is probably over

[percyhoward]

Dallas' pass defense currently ranks 21st in the NFL according to pass rating.

Sam Bradford, 2015
vs. Bottom 10 Pass Defenses
47 of 73 603 yd 8.3 ypa 5 td 2 int 101.6

Sam Bradford, 2015

Eli 81.9
Bradford 67.2

great post.
at heart it basically says we won't suffer as much qb disprepancy as in other weeks ARI (after romo imjury) thus can win.

Interesting. I would feel better if the Cowboys were not bottom 12 in pass defense. That's very close to the bottom 10.

One of two things will be over tonight: Our losing streak, or our season....

I'm glad philly keeps being dumb and rolling with bradford. They would be a better team starting sanchez easily imo.

If we had sanchez over weeden and cassel I can almost guarantee we wouldn't be 2-5.

Well, that's the big question. Is that really what we are, or is it because we faced so many top QB in the first half of the season?

Betting on us to win on because of a 21st pass Defence is not a good idea

 

[JoeKing]

I think the liability of bad QB pay is being under sold here. Cassel is just bad. He will find a way to lose no mater how bad the iggles play. Unless the Kraken and the D pitch a shut out, we still lose.

That's a fair criticism, and I think we're about to find out how much of that ranking is attributable to the schedule.

Scheduled opposing QB vs. non-bottom 10 pass defenses
Eli 81.9
Bradford 67.2
Brady 115.3
Brees 102.2
Ryan 101.5
Wilson 84.9
Eli 81.9
Bradford 67.2
Winston 67.5
Tannehill 81.0
Newton 66.8
Cousins 77.4
Rodgers 108.2
Fitzpatrick 81.0
Taylor 103.6
Cousins 77.4

That is quite possible, and it's why I say "probably."

Yes, but looking at the official NFL stats the difference between the Texans' number 6 pass defense and the Cowboys pass defense at number 12 is only 7 yards a game. It's a bit confusing. Perhaps it is because we have lousy field position and other teams are more effective in the red zone? Odd that the Cowboys are top 12 in yards given up but bottom 12 in quarterback rating against us.

Probably the latter.

Pass rating is based on efficiency. Teams haven't had to pass much to score many points against us, because they've either run well or simply didn't need to score a lot of points. You have to assume that if the attempts had been there, the yards would have come at the same rate. And so would the interceptions, where we rank 29th.

we cant score points so other team don't have to take many chances they beat us other teams have to fear your qb no nfl team fears matt cassel or wedone

English please.

 

[cowboyblue22]

in plain English so you understand cassel is AWFUL no team fears him or wedone they are 2 and 5. teams don't have to take chances so no turnovers and they only have to score 20 points to beat them. they cant pass the ball and win

 

[Scotman]

In plain English, so you understand, Cassel is AWFUL. No teams fear him or Weeden. They are 0 and 5. Teams don't have to take chances, so there are no turnovers. They only have to score 20 points to beat us. We can't pass the ball and win.

Just interpreting for you.

Capitalization and punctuation would help greatly... I'm sure you're an intelligent person... However, your message doesn't show it.
Don't be lazy.

The losing streak is over because I refuse to believe this team is capable of losing six games in a row. This isn't 1989.
