I think the most IMPORTANT competition is Bueller. The kiekcr usually leads the team in scoring every year and as we saw last year in the playoff vs. Minn, missing a field goal has a huge impact on play calling later in the game. Let's say this upcoming year, the Boys have offensive scoring trouble just outside the red zone (from 30 yards on in). That equates to a 47 yd field goal (or closer). Last year, the league average FG made from 40-49 yeards was 73% (186 made of 255 attemps). The Cowboys averaged only 46% (6 made of 13 attempts). Given the same # of attemps this year equates to 9 made field goals (another 9 points).It may seem small but Dallas lost two games last year by 3 pts or less (Giants and Chargers). In fact, Folk missed a FG in the Chargers game Without the ability to make ciritcal FGs from beyond the 40, the Boys game plan will be drastically different.
