Against a Good Run Defense

[percyhoward]

The Raiders came in 8th in rushing yards allowed, 7th in yards per attempt allowed, and 8th in yards per game allowed.

Yea, it's almost becoming comical how wrong some are about this weak/inconsistent run game.

I didnt realize they were that good on defense. GLad we did so well against them. Makes me feel much better about our running game. We gotta get Dunbar healthy again really soon. He was a difference maker today.

One week doesn't change the fact that we've had one of the worst YPCs in the NFL with 2nd and 3 to go or 3rd and 3 to go. Today though we ran the ball very well.

It was fun to watch. Watching that game you couldnt convince me that Murray didnt have more yards than they kept showing on the screen.

 

[percyhoward]

Any word on Dunbar?

Huh? Link? Our YPC is one of the highest in the NFL.

Amazing what happens when you don't abandon the run after 6 carries.

Dunbar was a beast and Murray's 3 TDs was something I didn't see it coming but so happy it did, mad props to those two. Of course O-Line did great job or run blocking as well.

Yes, I was really surprised we ran as well as we did against them.

You'd have to ask Percy for the exact source, but it was in a thread a couple days ago. I'm sure you could find it in his recent post history, I would get it but I'm kinda doing other stuff at the moment.

This hasn't been a one week thing fam, they just stuck with it today and BTW scored 24 unanswered points in the process.

He's referring to some bogus stats that accounts for WR RUNS, Romos scrambles and sacks

You're right, it hasn't just been one week were we've been struggling and 2nd/3rd and 3, it's been all year and the stats back it up.

2nd down, 3 or less to go
2.17 ypc (27th)
58.3% 1stD (21st)

3rd down, 3 or less to go
1.78 ypc (29th)
66.7% 1stD (15th)

The run game becomes a lot easier to abandon when it's getting stuffed in critical situations. We ran the ball extremely well today, but that doesn't change the fact that our running game HAS struggled throughout the game.

How is it bogus? Do you honestly believe other teams don't have scrambles/sacks/wr runs? If you honestly believe that, boy are you CLUELESS. Those other teams deal with the same effects Dallas does, yet Dallas is one of the worst in those situations. Be my guest though and keep being ignorant.

Their D was gassed in the 4th quarter. Looked like our defense late in so many games this season. One more offensive drive, Murray would've easily gotten his 100 yards.

Chicago has been getting gashed lately in the run game. Lets see what happens next Monday night.

Bears are 32nd in rushing yards allowed, 29th in rushing TD allowed, 31st in yards per carry allowed, and 32nd in yards per game allowed.

It's bogus because those stats include runs by Romo, Dez, Williams, Harris (all have had losses on reverses) & sacks by Romo on 2nd and. 3rd down passes. Show me the numbers by down for the RBs especially Murray and Dunbar.
