No More Talk about Stats!

Compiling all those stats and records against the Eagles practice squad then being outclassed by the 49ers a week later is one of the most embarrassing episodes in Cowboys history since the bungled Tom Landry firing. Dak's 5 TDs against the Eagles deserves an asterisk. What an awful ending to a promising season.


You can't get happy with our success
 
I no longer care about Stats, all they do is send a false picture in what this team really is. We can be the #1 offense, defense, and special teams, it won't mean anything unless we're winning. When I say winning, I mean winning at home, beating teams we should beat, and POST SEASON success!!!

All this he caught 1000 yards, he ran for 1000, he got 10+ interceptions means nothing. We went one and done in the playoffs, how great is that stat!!

Those are stats too. But the one's that actually matter.
 
This offseason will be the bleakest in recent memory. No money, going to lose defensive players, Schultz and possibly Cooper gone. Retaining garbage coaches, possibly losing our DC, and listening to Daddy and Son try to restock the kool-aid while bargain bin shopping.



Typical COWBOYS off season
 
Stats DO mean something, even though they don’t always tell the whole story. Here’s some stats for you:

Diggs: 0 INTs.
Parsons: 0 sacks.
Tank: 0 sacks.
Gregory: 0 sacks.

Maybe it was the defensive gameplan from Quinn, but our “star” defenders didn’t make impact plays.


Don't get me started with impact plays
 
Very true stats don't win games. They are only over time an indicator of past performance. It is only one part of the equating and hanging your hat there is at your own risk.

Oooooooo good point. When you're best players don't show up then you've been neutralized.

Winning is the main stat for sure

But stats vs top 10 defenses would help you predict things…….just not stats in general

Top stats guys this year other than Dak include
Rodgers
Brady
Stafford
Allen
Burrow
Mahomes

see a trend?
 
It goes both ways too.
Dak: 1 TD and 1 INT, 53 completion %.
BUT the OL also allowed 5 sacks.

Also, Zeke had 31 rushing yards. :D


Impact plays for example we had all those INT, but did they seal up a game like the eagles did to get in the playoffs

The stats were padded in a crappy conference anyway.

For the most part....we beat the teams were supposed to beat. That is HOW we piled up those STATS!!!!!!!

Correct, but stats help in identifying problem areas where the team can improve. So ignore them at your own peril. The smart teams don't.

Stats are for losers. We are what we are because we get so giddy about the #1 offense, Dak’s 37 td’s, ect.
All that matters are playoff wins which this franchise clearly sucks at for the last 26 years with no end in sight.
