Looking At Romo's Stat Line...How The Hell Did We Lose???

[rcaldw]

One day some of you will realize that football isn't baseball. It isn't all found in the numbers every week. Sometimes its not about how many balls you complete for how many yards, but WHEN YOU COMPLETE THEM, and WHERE you get your yards.

When you see a team pile up huge numbers, with no turnovers, but not a ton of points, it means they didn't convert in the redzone, and maybe they missed a couple of field goals too.

It's sad you're surprised.

numbers are just numbers

we lost because we're STUPID and CHOKE.

penalty after penalty

many long plays against

poor tackling

intentional grounding

pathetinc run blocking and gutless running

JERRYWORLD is all about hype and numbers and MEANINGLESS things, just like jerry himself.

Romo had almost 400 yards passing, had 3 TD passes, 120 QB rating, and completed 75% of his passes WITH NO TURNOVERS!!!

Its hard to put up that type of stat line in Madden.


Do you realize how bad the rest of your team is when your QB has this type of a stat line and you lose the freaking game???

70+ yards and 1 TD came in the final seconds as the giants were just keeping everything in front of them. Throwing the ball 55 times means you are going to put up big numbers, but not necessarily win the game. On the previous 49 pass attempts the offense could only generate 17 points, so clearly just slinging the ball a zillion times didn't exactly work. When you consider that the Giants have one of the NFL's worst scoring defenses, it's a bit disappointing.

Where have you been? Have not seen many posts from you lately.

Even discounting, as you seem to be, the last drive 330 yards and 2 TD's should have been enough. The failure of our RB's, who are a bunch of average guys in my opinion, is what cost us the game. The massive failure by special teams and our inability to tackle did not help either.

 

[superpunk]

Don't forget they could not tackle one of the slowest RB in the league either. How ****ing hard is it to push a guy out of bounds?

Brandon Jacobs is not slow.

Brandon Jacobs is not slow.

He is not fast and our entire team looked scared of him.

The point that you're missing is the completions Romo had 41 completions he never had that many in his career. While he was doing good a lot of his stuff was dink and dunk must of the catches went to Witten who had 14 followed by Austin with a very quiet ten. The Giants didn't give up the deep ball and we didn't challenge them deep. It's easy to see why we lost.

And in the case of stats not telling the story...I agree....he played BETTER than his stat line. I can't ever recall watching a Cowboy game hwere a QB bailed us out on 3rd and long so many times. He was lights-out.

Even then, I heard some clueless dude on the radio this morning--probaly some guy who played PeeWee in his prime--saying it all goes back to Romo. I had to turn off the radio.

He's a 270 pound back who can run a 4.5 40. And who looked scared of him? Spencer was in a trail position because he misplayed the route. Sensabaugh was having his jersey ripped off. And Bradie James took a terrible angle to the ball. But I didn't see anything indicative of "fear" from any of them, and they were the only three who had a shot at tackling him.

Bradie James took a horrible angle or just simply got flat out run by Jacobs. It's rather pathetic.

 

[SultanOfSix]

The Giants averaged 9.1 yards per pass play and returned a punt for a touchdown. That was the difference.

Yep. The secondary talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk. I don't know who it was, but I specifically remember one of the defensive backs saying the Giants will not throw on us like they did in the first meeting. Way to man up.

I guess that's how you see it. I see a team that could not stop a crap when it mattered. How long was the catch and run? No one was fast enough to catch a older slower RB? If you think he runs a 4.5 today you are nuts.

To defend the defense the giants steve smith ahd 13 catches 132 yards and a TD. This time around he had 6 catches 110 yards no TD's. Mario manningham had 10 catches 110 yards and 2 TD's. I think that was the stateline. He had only one catch this game. So for all intense purpose they didn't throw all over us like they did last time.

Well, I didn't blame the passing game for losing the game. Im just saying that putting up gaudy passing stats does not equal 'should have won the game'. There was a lot of total fail on offense yesterday, some of which was in the passing game, but most of which was blocking and poor RB play and all of that contributed to 17 points through 59 minutes.

Which is it? Were they scared, or were they too slow?

 

[sacase]

Absolutely, but that Jacobs play should have been called back and then the #'s would not be as impressive. That play was a game changer.

Throw in a no-call PI on 3rd down when we threw to Williams and the refs joined in the fun along with the defense and special teams (just so nobody thinks I'm blaming this game all on the refs). Those were huge gaffes by the officials.

Did the giants even get a penalty in the second half?

They couldn't tackle anybody

For all of the love DeCamillis has gotten, how can we possibly send out players for an onside kick who don't even know the basic rules of an onside kick? Either DeCamillis didn't coach the players properly, or Sam Hurd is too stupid to be on the field.

I'm pretty sure Hurd knows the rules for an onside kick. I can't imagine that he'd have played under two (or was it three -- can't remember how long Bruce Read was here) special teams coaches and never have practiced an on-side kick. Even if he hadn't practiced it, he himself has recovered one in an actual game.

It was just a brain fart. It happens.

Agree, Hurd knew the rules. Just an inch more and the Giant guy touches it and we get the ball.

Having said that, the special teams are for sure the unit that played the worst yesterday.

The missed FG, a few shorter kickoffs, espcially the Giant punt reurn TD, the holding penalty on us that removed our own good return...and there was more still, but that shoudl be enough for now.

Passes directed at the secondary gave up 6.8 yards per attempt. That's on 9 of 23 passes with 1 TD and 1 INT for a 59.5 QB rating. The secondary obviously did it's job.

It was a couple fluke plays that lost. We dominated them for 95% of the game. It happens. It's a game. There is always an element of luck involved.

The defense and special teams ate dirt. Thats how we lost.
