Such a meaningful stat. Cowboys, in some ways you are the best team in the league! How about that?!?!?

[–] hoobsher@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

mama said the reason Cowboys fans are so ornery is cuz they got all them points and no wins against teams over .500

[–] email253200@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now do it from week three and on

[–] Crossman556@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Strength of schedule really helps:

Panthers Patriots Giants twice

versus

Bengals twice Browns twice Steelers

plus better showings against common opponents:

ARI-DAL: 28-16 L ARI-BAL: 31-24 W

SEA-DAL: 22-14 L SEA-BAL: 37-3 W

The Dallas Cowboys are Tied for the best Point Differential In The NFL. Also, they've played one less game than team they are tied with (Ravens)

And ... ?

It's unclear what point you're trying to make here.

Still, will lose in the playoffs

Point differential is a pretty pointless stat. If it meant anything the Steelers( -29)wouldn’t be seeded ahead of the bills (+104) for a playoff spot.

They also played the giants twice

[–] Rando0117@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They also haven’t beaten a team with a winning record. So what does this really say about the cowboys?

[–] VinTheHater@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s the same script for the Cowboys every year. Start the season, beat up on bad teams, get delusional, lose in playoffs on embarrassing final play. Why should the NFL script writers change up a formula that works so well for so many people?

[–] TheEffinChamps@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They also have had the most pro bowlers of any team in the past 27 years.

And they have had less playoff wins than the Jets in the past 27 years.

Their problem has never been the regular season stats.

[–] Ronaldoooope@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can someone tell the rest of the NFL to blow out the bad teams too? That way you guys don’t get so upset.

[–] MayonnaiseOreo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

No, they've played one *fewer game.

[–] TheTimeWeWaste@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ravens also play defensive guru, Brandon Staley, this week. They have no chance.

[–] BlackWhiteCoke@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] jimhabfan@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So if they lose the game they have in hand, they’ll no longer be tied for first.

[–] Expendable_Red_Shirt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Can you count the number of games?

If so then it’s fewer.

[–] Menanders-Bust@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is what happens when you blow out bad teams, play a lot of them, and lose close to good teams.

[–] Ukulele_Maestro@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

/r/nfl always finding a way to hate on the cowboys like no other team.

[–] Fuuutuuuree@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They also haven’t beaten a team with a (currently) winning record

[–] fp1480@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Cowboys played some really bad teams, cmon guys give them a round of applause cause they need something positive for another SB less year

[–] pupusa_monkey@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Just for the insult of trying to claim this flimsy Cowboys team is anything close to the genuine article that is the Baltimore Ravens, I'm gonna make s'mores when the Cowboys eventually crash and burn. I'm allergic to chocolate, but this needs doing.

[–] wxox@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's written as if it makes it look like Dallas is better than the Ravens, but the Ravens playing one more game AND still having the top point differential is more interesting to me.

[–] Ekranoplan01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We all know how this ends.

[–] windphibian@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

They also got their ass handed to them by the niners.

[–] SidneyDean608@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Uhm Dallas opponents this year Giants x2 Panthers Patriots Jets Cardinals (no Kyler) Commanders Rams Chargers

I mean soft as it gets

Dallas > Bad Teams, Dallas < Good Teams

As a Dallas fan, this happens every season, it seems. I've been ready to move on from Dak for a while now as he's inconsistent and can't seem to pull through during pressure situations when it matters most. He also can't seem to beat good teams (.500+).

It's just not exciting to watch Dak pad his stats against terrible defenses and then turn around and get handled by division rivals. And only 2 playoff wins to show for it...

It would be nice to win out the rest of the regular season and secure a rightful spot in the playoffs because Dallas defense is playing too well this year (without Diggs), and I'd hate to see this season get thrown away due to Dak's mediocrity.

Unimportant, useless stat. A win, is a win. That’s all that matters.

[–] _FreeYourMind__@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Playing in more or less games doesn’t matter

[–] vikinick@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Watch them lose to the Commanders this week.

[–] Valuable_Ticket_1311@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

After the Commanders they will have to start playing teams with winning records, the differential will get close to even by the end of the season.
