Yeah, they beat up on scrub teams, and lose every time they play a good team. As it’s been for about 25 years. Good talk.

It is weird to see that the Cowboys have the highest ppg on average going back the past 3 seasons, also top 5 in point differential. It doesn't seem like anyone views them as offensive juggernauts. They're well balanced, but obviously a front running team.

Superbowl or bust I'm afriad

[–] StudentDPT@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They play the giants and panthers and everybody thinks theyre going to the superbowl now? What happened when they play a team like Niners? Or did everyone just forget cuz theyre America's team?

[–] Pkyankfan69@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

0-2 with a -37 point differential against teams with a winning record.

Can we talk about how disgusting it is the Bills are 4th with 105 and we’re 6-5 lmaooooooo.

Definitely deserve to be that record, but you can’t tell me that being the unluckiest team in the league this year doesn’t have something to do with it too.

This team is a classic bully. Beats up on the weak and defenseless and then when they get popped by a good team, they have no answer

[–] davechacho@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is misleading because the Ravens didn't get to play the Panthers this year. Quite unfair.

LOL - the hate in this thread because something positive was said about the Cowboys - they beat bad teams by a lot - that's apparently a bad thing now?

The Cowboys have gotten to play the Giants twice, the Ravens have played the Giants no times.

Cowboys, Dolphins, Bills - three teams that beat up on bad teams. The last stretch of the season will be very interesting for all three of them.

Why does games played matter for differential?

[–] Chrodesk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

not sure how one less game is a factor in point differential. If anything, 1 less data point makes it easier to be a statistical anomaly.

[–] Staggeredboard@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wild that the Boys have that great a point differential despite getting their asses handed to them on a platter by the Niners

Scoring over 80 on the Giants will do that to you

[–] Mikeylatz@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Didn’t realize the dolphins are such dogshit on third and fourth down. Also eagles 4th down rate is insane which I guess makes sense with the toosh push

[–] CarlSpackler22@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Week 17 Lions and Cowboys matchup should be interesting

[–] Zachmirr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] breakfast_scorer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

That's not really how point differential works since if they lose it goes down, but whatever

Pretty impressive considering someone handed them a fat -32 earlier this year 😎

[–] Doobie_Howitzer@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah but Baltimore is collecting souls from teams that thought they were contenders, Dallas was just running it up on the Giants in 20% of their games this season

[–] AleroRatking@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The cowboys are legit good. People don't want to admit it. But there is no question that they are one of the five best teams in my mind.

[–] DjofullinnUlfur@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cowboy fans in here salty AF

[–] NoCapBussinFrFr@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The only salt I see is 31 other fanbases trying desperately to spin this into a bad thing

[–] RedRooster1776@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

All that and they won't win the NFC East. Lol

Destroying an incredibly bad team, twice, isn’t something to hang your hat on.

Damn, it's such a bummer that they decide the Superbowl on point differential, I guess it is dem boys year.

We all know the cowboys are going to cowboy some point soon. As a Vikings fan who acknowledges that the Vikings will always Viking, the cowboys are going to cowboy very hard the second it matters.

[–] hearo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

We lost to the eagles IN PHILLY by a combined 2 yards, despite a ton of questionable calls in their favor, and yet, here they are talking shit like they’re some juggernaut.

They barely cling onto victories all year long, look downright bad like 80% of the time, but somehow cowboys putting up big numbers on bad teams isn’t as impressive as the eagles barely beating those same bad teams. Who knew

[–] El_mochilero@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I honestly can’t remember ever seeing this many 20+ point blowout wins in a season.

[–] NYerInTex@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Man, this gonna be a let down of let downs when the boys inevitably choke when it counts (and against decent if not good competition).

[–] indianm_rk@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This will definitely get them to a New Year’s Day bowl game.

[–] SeaCoach9467@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I hate how this guy is using "one less game" in conjunction with point differential as if playing one less game is a disadvantage or something.

Playing one more game means you could lose ground on point differential...you know, if you lose.

[–] EnigmaSpore@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You dont want to be a bad team and play the Cowboys.

They've played a lot of bad teams this year and curb stomped them all except for a little red bird team from out west...

[–] FeistyCheesecake@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Sure they’re good, but they’ve also had the easiest schedule in the league so far. Only team with SOS below .400

[–] scyber@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And they will still lose their first playoff game.

[–] SpareDiagram@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

First round playoff exit incoming

[–] TRES_fresh@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They lost to us by 30 and are still tied for the PD lead, when the cowboys win they win by a huge amount. I hope we get to play them again in the playoffs, that's going to be a really fun game now that Dak is putting up MVP stats.

[–] Fellborn@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Giants are probably half of these points

[–] mikejr96@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

This stat is just about scoring points. Not who is better. Yet you all turn it into a flame war. Predictable and entertaining. I'm here for it.

[–] excitement2k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

As a massive Cowboys fan, I can promise. Promise. Promise. They will not make it past the first round of the playoffs-if they can squeeze in behind the Eagles.

[–] Hollywood2037@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And the cowboys got their cheeks clapped by any team over .500

[–] Dr_Colossus@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not that useful of a stat when it comes to playoff success.

[–] afig24@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I will take this as a compliment

[–] teewyesoen@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cowboys got abolutely waxed by the niners too, which is not helping thier PD. Unfortunately for the cowboys, their road to Las Vegas will likely have to go thru SF at some point.

[–] stupidname_iknow@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta love playing in the NFCE.

[–] DireWolfe92@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sure their schedule has had nothing to do with that

[–] LBJBROW@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

No team has the same schedule so this stat is useless.

Cowboys have only beaten bottom feeders.
