Points over 30 points per game in 2025 and Dallas will almost certainly make the playoffs

An interesting peculiarity of the 2024 cowboys season is that the team lost every single game in which the opponent scored 27 points or more. The 2024 opponents scored 27 or more points in nine games and the cowboys were 0: 9 in these games. When the opponents scored 26 or fewer points, the cowboys were 7-1.

2024 season Cowboys record
27 or more points allowed 0-9
26 or fewer points allowed 7-1

How can the cowboys avoid repeating this year?

One way is to hope that a defense that lasts 31st place in the points last year suddenly turns into a top -10 unit and does not hold any more than 26 points every opponent.

Another and possibly better option is to look at your offense to score more, which is not as far as it may sound.

Before the injuries and a head coach who did not want to “illuminate” the scoreboard, the cowboys derailed the cowboys in 2024, the cowboys were one of the most productive rating team in the league. In fact, between 2021 and 2023, the cowboys scored more points than any other team in the NFL. They led the league in 2021 (530 points, 31.2 points per game), took third place (467, 27.5) in 2022 and led the league again in 2023 (509, 29.9).

Why shouldn't the team return to its high -quality paths in 2025, especially by adding WR George Pickens? Tony Romo weighs:

“This is a big trade.

If you remember when you had Amari, it is very difficult to concentrate on a player if you have two superstars out there. And I have the feeling that if you have two people outside, it just opens the offensive a bit.

But why open the crime, as Romo says? Because there are not so many teams in the NFL that can keep up with a criminal offense that consistently achieves more than 30 points. The record of the cowboys in the past five years in games in which they scored 30+ points: 30-4. If you are looking for a shortcut to the playoffs, it would be a convenient way to score 30 points per game.

Since the realignment in 2002, 32 teams have had an average of more than 30 points per game (480 points per season by 2020, 510 points since 2021) and all of these teams have done the playoffs. Here are the last 10 teams that do this:

Year team Points rated W/L Record
2024 Detroit 564 15-2
2024 buffalo 525 13-4
2024 Baltimore 518 12-5
2021 Dallas 530 12-5
2021 Tampa Bay 511 13-4
2020 Green Bay 509 13-3
2020 buffalo 501 13-3
2020 Tampa Bay 492 11-5
2020 Tennessee 491 11-5
2020 New Olreans 482 12-4

And everything else, if the cowboys had scored 30 points in every game last year, they would have had an 11-5-1 record.

Are the Cowboys 2025 an average of an average of an average of average again on average per game per game per game? If this is the case, a playoff lounger is a matter of course. In fact, the teams were 122-17 last year when they achieved 30 points or more for winning 0.878. If you apply this proportion of profit to a schedule with 17 games, you will receive a cool 15-2 record.

And do you know what doesn't matter if you score 30 points per game? Your defense.

Every year in Dallas, fans will give Domsday defense or at least a reasonable facsimile of this defense. But today's cowboys are about as far from a Doomsday defense as possible, and that is not an indictment in any form, it is simply a fact. Every team in the NFL has to find out which side of the ball wants to emphasize more, and in Dallas it is first, first, second and third.

Philosophically, the cowboys are built as a team that they win by exceeding them. The defense, in turn, works best when the crime has set a lead and the defense can remain its ears and attack the opposing crime.

The question is, can the cowboys meet these expectations?

It is still early, and Dallas flies a little under the radar in terms of expectations for 2025, but the 2025 cowboys could have a sneaky good offensive:

  • DAK Prescott is healthy again and could record where he stopped in 2023
  • The offensive line with three picks in the first round could be as good as since her healthy Travis Frederick
  • With the addition of pickens, the team could get the first 1000 Yard duo since 2019, whereby one per bowl-toed end is above
  • McCarthy's cave man's lens together with his abysmal play calling and kindergarten time management is gone
  • Possibly the best special team trio of the league for additional support

To be honest, if the cowboys do not end with points at least in the top 5, I would consider this as a great disappointment. They were specially built to do exactly that, and apart from injuries, there is no reason why the 2025 team should not pick up where the team stopped from 2023 and to be one of the top goal in the league.

If not, the cowboys have to look for serious souls why they can't do it.
