Is the Cowboys offense "overrated"?

Points is still better than yards and you just showed why
Bottom line is that points decide games
not yards

How did I show why?

Yes they do. TOP is huge in deciding games.

And they two are tied so closely together, bashing one to anoint another is silly.

Points decide games. Yards decide points.

Yeah I think it’s weird people use yards over points. I don’t care how many yards they give up. Points matter.

Not weird at all, depends on what you're trying to prove. Yards is by far the best way to use one standalone stat to rate an O/D. Why? Because every yard was gained/given up by the O/D. That is not true w/ points.

As I've already stated, points determine outcomes, yards determine points. There are a few exceptions, sure, but those are outliers. It's no accident that the super bowl teams are often top 10ish in both. Teams that give up a ton of yards but not many points are almost always exploited in the playoffs, as playoff teams will turn those yards into points. See the 2017 Eagles, where Belly's D was 5th in points given up, but 26th in yards given up. Did yards matter? They decided the game.

Why can’t you give Dak credit for playing poorly. Schotty doesn’t throw the ball.

Dak is Dak. I will always support him and you always hate him.
