Cowboys creeping up on an interesting record

[jazzcat22]

The 200 / 100 yard should happen again this week, but against the Steelers, we will have to see. Will be tough.

However, the 200 yards passing may not happen this week, if Zeke runs for 300 yards.....

295 yards is the record.

This is just a stat that shows how consistently productive we've been in both phases offensively.

The teams on the list without postseason wins all had defenses that ranked in the bottom half of the league. The only teams with postseason wins were the ones with Top 10 defenses ('84 Dolphins, '12 Patriots, '15 Seahawks). None of them won a Super Bowl, and all of their playoff losses happened when their opponent scored 28+ points.

The 1980 Steelers didn't have a top 10 defenses and they won the SB

Steelers won in '78 and '79. Oakland beat Philly in 1980.

I picture Percy as a 30+ year old statistics grad who's living is a basement surrounded by about 15 computer monitors, 5 calculators, an ashtray full of cigarette butts and a few old pizza boxes. He wears glasses with lenses the size of coke bottles and wears a bathrobe and a Cowboys baseball cap.
Thanks Percy. Love this stuff.

History major -- always hated math. But substitute tequila and red bull for the cigarettes, and you're pretty close.

Looking at this list makesnme a little nervous.

How many of them also won the Super Bowl that year?

Well we can safely rule out the eagles lol

 

[Thomas82]

What's more impressive is the Cowboys are doing this with rookies.

I bet it's safe to say that the Cowboys are the only team that's done it with rookies.

At my age backflips could be deadly

But I gotta try

Keep up the great work Percy. You and the MIA Adam are always a joy to read.

Huh, hadn't noticed until I looked at your sig that not only have we hit 200/100 in each game, we haven't thrown for 300 or run for 200 in any game. I was going to say that not throwing for 300 at all is surprising these days, but now I look back and see that we only had one 300-yard passing day in 2014 (compare with 15 times over the prior 3 years). We're using the 2014 blueprint even more than I realized.

As long as we keep winning idc what records we break lol

It's actually 296, by Adrian Peterson in 2007. But who wouldn't love to see Zeke become the NFL's first 300-yard rusher?

There's a correlation with wins. A team with 200 pass yards and 100 rush yards in every game would finish 11-5 on average, and that record improves with every opponent that doesn't reach the 200/100 mark.

Team with 200 pass yards / 100 rush yards: 56-28-3 (.667)

Opponent held under 100 yards rushing
200/100 teams: 38-16-1 (.700)
all other teams: 34-30 (.531)

Opponent held under 200 yards passing
200/100 teams: 19-5 (.792).
all other teams: 21-20 (.525)

That's not as strong a correlation as a passing efficiency stat, for example, but it is about as strong as something like turnover margin. So far this year, teams that have won the turnover battle are 70-26-1 (.727)

Prescott's 7 games with 200+ yards is the most ever by a rookie in his first 7 starts. Wilson only had 7 such games his entire rookie season. Roethlisberger had 4.

What's especially impressive is that 6 of Dak's 200+ yard games have come in victories.

Wins with 200+ yards passing, rookie season
8 Luck 2012
6 Prescott 2016*
6 Ryan 2008
5 Winston 2015
5 Bridgewater 2014
5 Smith 2013
5 Bulger 2002
5 Griffin 2012
5 Wilson 2012

Is that really interesting? Its a good mark of consistency... but its far from interesting.
