Such a meaningful stat. Cowboys, in some ways you are the best team in the league! How about that?!?!?
NFL
A place for NFL news, game highlights and everything that excites you about American Football.
mama said the reason Cowboys fans are so ornery is cuz they got all them points and no wins against teams over .500
Now do it from week three and on
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
They also haven’t beaten a team with a winning record. So what does this really say about the cowboys?
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?
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.
Can someone tell the rest of the NFL to blow out the bad teams too? That way you guys don’t get so upset.
No, they've played one *fewer game.
Ravens also play defensive guru, Brandon Staley, this week. They have no chance.
*Fewer
So if they lose the game they have in hand, they’ll no longer be tied for first.
Can you count the number of games?
If so then it’s fewer.
This is what happens when you blow out bad teams, play a lot of them, and lose close to good teams.
/r/nfl always finding a way to hate on the cowboys like no other team.
They also haven’t beaten a team with a (currently) winning record
Cowboys played some really bad teams, cmon guys give them a round of applause cause they need something positive for another SB less year
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.
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.
We all know how this ends.
They also got their ass handed to them by the niners.
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.
Playing in more or less games doesn’t matter
Watch them lose to the Commanders this week.
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.
