Interesting Comparison

Oh hey look, the same broken record every week.

:laugh2:

 

[chuffly]

Well I'd say Aaron Rodgers is the best quarterback going right now. So that does help things a bit.

Probably also doesn't hurt that he hasn't spent most the season up to this point dealing with a broken rib.

Because this kind of stuff doesn't just magically disappear. Especially at 4-4.

 

[RCowboyFan]

I'm not trying to bend any stats one way or another here. I just through it was interesting to see the Rogers has been sacked so many times and their OL, surprisingly (to me) doesn't look to be anything but average statistically and that our supposedly super-sucky OL looks better on paper.

But at the same time Rodgers has penchant to hold onto ball. One of the reasons he doesn't throw many INts also the reason, before his SB win, he had very bad record of brining back his team when his team was 4 points or down.

Just like Eli, Romo takes chances and both of them have excellent record in 4th Quarter. And you probably see both of them don't get sacked too many times, especially Eli, since he chucks it up when pressured.

Anyway, Cowboys had injuries on OL, rookie OL and so many other variables. Again like I said, stats just don't show everything.

 

[DallasInDC]

Wow! I guess they've been running late in games after getting up by a few tds! Or the fact that they seem to score quickly w/ big plays while Dallas has to scrape & claw for every 6 they score!!

It is most likely the later. YPA or YPC would tell us more if they are getting larger chunks of yardage or not.

The Packers spent 0 time with each other this offseason and that seems to be one of Garretts biggest excuses.

We all know what your opinion is. Try saying something else, or analyzing a different part of the game for once.

 

[yimyammer]

Packers have thrown it 266 times. Cowboys have thrown it 293 times.

+1 the Cowboys OL.

Amazing and the Packers have scored 96 more points, they have some big receivers with great hands, no one has been able to stop their O

There is nothing to analyze other than if the Cowboys don't beat themselves we'll probably win most of our games.

That is the only problem. Yes we have defencies but so does every team.

So just stop making amateur mistakes. Until this team lacks the talent to win I will stay with the same ole.

Like I said, they've got the best quarterback going right now. And the chemistry between Rodgers and those receivers (with the exception of Cobb) was good enough to get them a Super Bowl ring. I don't know why that would disappear over one off-season.

People are looking for someone/something to blame for bad offensive, bad receiving, and bad quarterback play, at times. Not all the time, certainly not today.

After the Eagles game, all I heard was, the offensive line sucks, the offensive line sucks. I don't think so.

Felix couldn't run the ball, nor anyone else. Enter stage left, Murray. Murray has not been stopped in 3 games, behind the same offensive line. You want to get after our qb, fine. How about a swing pass to Murray? I'll be that would've negated some Philly rush there.

We had a bad game in Philly. That doesn't tell the story of the entire year of protection. For the most part, Romo has been protected pretty well. Even the great New England who is notoriously known for it's offensive line, was butchered today by the Giants. But you over come it. That's what you do, you make quicker reads. You call shorter routes, you run the ball. You run screens, short crossing routes. You send your Half back on passes. All these things will negate a heavy pass rush, unless of course they are only rushing 4, which the Philly defense wasn't doing.

So how smart is Garrett? Well, let's see. I think he's pretty smart actually. How often do you see Garrett running up the middle, the weakest part of the line? Not too much. The guy usually runs left, wide on a sweep or something. Because of Murray's vision, he's able to set up blocks, and explode, and run to our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.

I'm not a fan of the empty set because there is absolutely no threat of the run, and when you have a guy like Murray, we need the defense to always think about whether he'll get the ball or not.

 

[JoeCorrado]

Aaron Rogers has been sacked 20 times in 8 games. Romo has been sacked 15 times in 8 games.

Dallas averages 4.9 ypc in the rushing game. The Packers average 4.0.

Is our offensive line really so horrible? On paper that are superior the Packer's OL which is part of an offensive unit which is basically on pace to break every offensive record the NFL has.

I'm guess I am getting tired of everyone point the the Oline as the reason why the offense isn't prolific this season.

I know there are a million other threads on the this topic, but part of me wants to point the finger at the OC (JG).

Our average includes a single game that sent us from like 31st in the league rushing to 14th or so, and that was Murray. Take that one game away and look at how we compare. When the complaining was loudest was a few weeks back and we were pretty bad.

The O-Line is playing better, but the players have changed also. No longer nearly so young, and bigger too with Holland. Not the same RB either of course, Murray being led by Fiametta is also helping them look better by breaking tackles or making their own holes. Causing the defense to play the run honestly, not just attack the pass game.

Feel free to point away, I was and will continue to do so. Garrett seems to need some help- over extending himself maybe. We need a full time HC and a full time OC as well. Garrett also doesn't look to be able to make adjustments when the game does not unfold as he expected.

 

[Steve_Deadload]

Rodgers is playing better football right now than almost any QB in history.

 

[TheDude]

Game is not played on paper.

Sadly, very few people will agree with you. We have been a top 5 team statistically for years

 

[Little Jr]

Our ol is fine. Jg and romo apologists are the one blaming the ol. GB 1st and most important have better coaching. Better qb play and better wr's as a whole.

By what measures?

I havent heard Garrett make any excuses, can you give me the link to it. Or are you just making stuff up.

 

[rwilliamsfan]

Do you watch the Packers at all? Those stats are beyond deceiving. Rodgers holds ... holds ... holds the ball. He rarely throws it away and takes a TON of coverage sacks.

 

[TheDude]

Tad sarcasm,

People tend to pull out a stat that supports their opinion. (bias)

yardagde, ypc, ypa, ypc, rac, #rec, etc.

Stats are much more difficult to apply than in baseball

Rodgers holds on to the ball longer waiting for WRs to get open deeper because his OL gives him more time to so he will get more sacks. Romo has to get the ball out fast or he would have more sacks. That stat you posted doesn't prove anything if you dont watch the games.
Have you not seen a Packers or Cowboys game. Romo has no time, Rodgers have time and some times its coverage sacks. Also Clifton has been out for 3 games now.
