Bledsoe vs. the Broncos

[theogt]

Against the blitz...
Plummer (96 blitzes)
4 sacks 9 TD 0 INT

Bledsoe (88 blitzes)
12 sacks 5 TD 1 INT

We gotta get pressure from the front four (front 3 + Ware)

12 sacks is certainly high but even if he were to throw half of those away his passer rating would only drop a couple points.

Reality is that the Cowboys have looked more consistent at home. But not especially dominant.

Dallas has outscored their opponent (on avg) 23.2 to 11.4 at home. Also, the only team to allow less points per game at home is Chicago (8.5). Of course, you can throw out all the stats because they mean nothing right now. It's two teams putting it all on the line today. The best team will win.


For what it's worth, Denver's average road score is 21 to 20.5.

.. and those three teams have a combined record of 10-20
.. and one of the games was against the NCAA level Jets ..
.. and two of those games were played AT Denver which is a huge factor for Denver
.. and Denver is only 2-2 on the road (6-0 at home, see above)
.. and Dallas has outscored their last three opponents 75-40 including an Eagles team AT Philadelphia!

Stats are cool

I was too lazy to do this. Thanks. You da man.

You referred to the ROAD win vs. the Eagles. There is no question that the Eagles got smacked around in Dallas. On the road against the decimated Eagles the Cowboys looked suspect for most of the game.

YOU referred to the Denver easily beating Philadelphia WITH McNabb and T.O. in a HOME game .. so I, in return, compared the HOME game against that same team with those same players. Keep trying to avoid the real comparison ..

It matters none at all, except that you are saying that the Broncos arent that good on the road. They arent that bad either. They lost by one in NY and didnt show up for the first game vs. the Dolphins.

.. and the Cowboys have lost by 1 point to the Commanders, 3 points to the Seahawks and 6 points to Oakland. 10 points total.

Perception is reality. Reality is that the Cowboys have looked more consistent at home. But not especially dominant.

I don't care about dominant .. I care about wins. Ask any NFL coach what do they want most .. a dominant team or a team that wins?

The Cowboys dominated the Commanders early in the season and lost. The Eagles dominated the Cowboys a couple of weeks ago and lost. As I said, I care about wins.
