You are right, the offense has been a problem. But compared to the defense it's not that big a problem. I remember Cowboys games from the dynasty years that they won 16-10, 17-10, 16-13, 20-17, etc..
28-6 in the 4th qtr is garbage time. Every time. You can polish that turd til it shines, but it's still a turd at the end of the day
Yep. Same thing for Henry with the Ravens. While he doesn't have the Barkley speed, he can break off some big chunk runs and deliver some punishing blows on any carry. Barkley was bottled up a lot of the game but all it took was that one run to change that game. We used to have that with early years Zeke but he fell off a cliff since then.
Hurts sucks.
How did the Eagles defense fair against that saints offense that scored on 6 consecutive drives?
It suck’s to watch. I’ll say that. Terrible to know you can’t do the two most important things in football. Stop the run and run the football.
What exactly is “garbage time stats” if both QB’s either got you a lead late in the game OR brought you back to be 3 points down? I think a LOT of people are really confused about what garbage time stats really are…
I want a fighter.
It’s the most misused term in football…..
28-6 in the 4th qtr is garbage time. Every time.
No, he has a legit point…garbage time stats are when you pad your stats even thought there is absolutely no shot of you winning. Both Hurts and Dak had their teams in position to either tie or take the lead. Hurts took them down the field and the Eagles D stopped NO. 3 & 6, Dallas D could NOT make a stop. Period.
man, I don't try to ever get into the love/hate thing you got going on here, but this is an abuse of stats to make a point. Dak was struggling to scan the field, and his passes were not on target like they needed to be. As another poster said (forgot who and too lazy to look), those stats you got here only came after this game was way lopsided and Ravens then played prevent defense. Before that, nah... not impressed today.
What if it was the Cowboys ahead by that much and almost blowing it? The narrative here would be "it's a 60 minute game and good teams have to finish!"
I don't think it's apples to apples. But look Hurts has had his own struggles this season. Neither QB has played their best. For Dak a lot of those stats came in Q4. I certainly give him credit for making a game of it, but he needs to find that gear much earlier in the game because it was almost non-existent through 3 qs.
