Unimportant, useless stat. A win, is a win. That’s all that matters.
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.
Our D/ST has probably scored the most TDs out of anyone in the league if I had to guess. Inflates the ppg
Superbowl or bust I’m afriad
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?
0-2 with a -37 point differential against teams with a winning record.
You do realize that beating a team makes their record worse, right? Multiple teams The Cowboys have beaten would be at .500 had they not…ya know…beaten them
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
This is misleading because the Ravens didn’t get to play the Panthers this year. Quite unfair.
Can’t control your own schedule. But you can control how you play your opponents
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?
This sub is obsessed with America’s Team.
Count your blessings, we just lose outright to bad teams
The Cowboys have gotten to play the Giants twice, the Ravens have played the Giants no times.
Hey now just you wait! They haven’t played the Commanders yet.
Talk about skewing the stats. The Giants are here to help!
A Giantnone if you will
We have also not had a chance to play the Giants yet. I am assuming we are resting quite a few guys for our second match up though.
In those 2 games alone they had a +72 differential or something like that so it’s not surprising they’re on par with Baltimore having played one less game.
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.
Bills pummeled the Dolphins, not a bad team
We smashed the Dolphins and lost to the Patriots. How do we “beat up on bad teams”?
Pretty sure bills are 50/50 on whooping bad teams or losing in embarrassing fashion
“wow you blew out bad teams”
why doesn’t everyone else blow out bad teams, are they stupid?
are they stupid?
Judging by some of the
Eagles fanscommenters in this thread? Yes.Blowing out bad teams is great, if you’re beating good teams as well. Blowing out bad teams when you can’t beat any good ones will rightly drive people to question how reliable a high point differential is for your team.
For the Ravens, it’s clearly a sign of greatness because they’ve beaten some good teams with winning records, including blowing out a team that is competing for the NFC’s 1 seed. For Dallas, it at least means you aren’t ass but the fact that you only seem to run the score up on teams that are verifiably ass (assisted by shit opposing QBs throwing picks) means you can’t draw the conclusion that you are as good as the Ravens. Beat some good teams and the conversation will change.
I never thought of this.
Uhm we try and then we find ways to lose! Sad cheese noises
Why does games played matter for differential?
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.
