Fact: We win over 75% of our games when DeMarco touch the ball at least 15 times.

That fact stands stronger than ever. A balanced attack is the key to putting something together that will prove effective in the playoffs if we get there.

Fact: The Cowboys are undefeated when they score more points than the other team

Except Dunbar was the one who was actually explosive running the ball. That stat is meaningless.

Demarco didn't have a very effective game but at least they stuck with the run. Demarco was averaging 7 yards a carry against the Giants and they stopped giving him the ball. I liked today because we didn't give up on the run and we mixed it up with Murray and Dunbar. Overall, the offense had a very good second half against a bad Raiders team.

Fact: we run the ball more when we're winning.

There you go! I would believe in these types of stats more if it was something like...Cowboys win if Murray gets 12 touches in the first half. Dont be counting up carries when they are up 10 points tryin to milk the clock with 6 mins left in the game.

Fact: When Dallas' running game is productive they're able to run the ball more, when it's not productive they are not able to run the ball more. If they had a great defense they might be able to run regardless of the outcome but with this defense? Please. They can't afford to waste any possessions.

We should just Rush Demarco 15 straight times do a few kneel downs and go home.

Correlation versus causation my man. When we are winning and/or control the line of scrimmage we run the ball. When we are behind or can't control the line of scrimmage we pass more.

Having a balanced offensive night is an OUTCOME of playing effectively, not the cause.

We were behind and came back using a balanced attack.

2/3 of our rush attempts came after we tied the game up. Over 3/4 of our pass attempts were before we tied the game up.

The kneel-downs count as rushes, I think, for the purposes of this statistic. Fact: every time we kneel down at least twice in the 4th quarter, we win. This fact stands stronger than ever, and it's the reason why I think Callahan is an idiot for not starting each 4th quarter series with the double-kneel down call.

Not a fact, see NYG1, SD, DEN, KC,! All games in which we've held leads and still not run the ball. Weve led in almost every game and yet have one of the worst attempts per game in the NFL. How if were winning in most games and still come out so unbalanced?

We were losing today by 2 TDs and ran to get back in the game. Then we ran more to keep the lead. This isn't sound logic boss!

Yeah, but he'll be happy about the rushing TDs, at least.

I agree that 3/4 of our pass attempts came when we were failing to score points and were losing the game. Then we found that running works and we used it for the rest of the game and guess what...we won. The balance on offense started before we took the lead btw.

From the time we went down by two touchdowns to the time we tied the game up, we threw the ball 13 times and ran it 5 times.

In our three touchdown scoring drives (not counting the touchdown after the turnover) we threw the ball on about 50% more plays than we ran the ball.

Fact: We win over 75% of our games when DeMarco touch the ball at least 15 times.

Bye Felicia!

That's still my Quarterback
