If you say the L column, that means we got stopped.
Oh yeah, one more thing. 22 points and 379 yards doesn't mean much. Last weekend Cincy scored 41 and had 545 yards of offense and still got stopped.
That's cool, but I don't. I'm not into moral victories. A loss is stopped.Doomsday101;1165398 said:I disagree. Yes a loss is a loss but 2 examples Dallas facing the 85 Bears where they beat us like step children by the time the game was over you knew we were not even close to being on the same level as they are. Then there are games where it is what your doing to yourself more so than what the opposing team is doing to you ala the recent Commander game, Dallas outplayed them but by our own mental mistake we blew the game. In both cases it is a loss but I do see a big difference in the 2 losses.

A team can fail to stop an offense and still lose. Noone said we won, but quite often the 545 yards O gets a W not a L. there's always the exception (and bone-headed INT, fumbles, blocked FGs, fumbled punt snap, etc)
