Manhandled?? Game Stats:

[Drlabon]

Class case of "Stats Lie".

How many of our rushing yards are from our RBs?

Hey, I am not saying the Cowboys played really well, they did have 3 turnovers in the game and the timing looked off, but Minnesota did stack the line with heavy 8 man fronts and consistently blitzed to stop the running game. I don't think Minnesota would get away with that in a real game. Also, we started a rookie LT against one of their best pass rushers and did not give up a sack. I just don't believe we got "manhandled". Most teams can't run effectively against 8 man fronts and lots of run-blitzing, which is why I say this game looked a lot like the New Orleans game except we had turnovers.

Like Parcells said "some good, some bad" but Manhandled, I don't think so.
