Packers/Steelers/Cowboys Snapshot | Points Allowed Vs Points Scored

[The30YardSlant]

I'm baffled by the complaints over this thread.

Essentially, DE is saying that, against teams with better offenses, the Cowboys performed just as well as both Super Bowl contestants. Furthermore, all of the Cowboys' wins (with respect to this particular stat) occurred during the Jason Garrett era when the Cowboys went 3-1 (or 2-1 if you choose to omit the second Philly game -- which is a reasonable approach).

I wouldn't extrapolate any profound meaning from this, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Why is it interesting? Because it makes you feel better?

The San Diego Chargers were #1 in total offense and defense in the NFL this past season, better in both categories than GB and Pitt. They also failed to make the playoffs, but I'm sure they'll be holding a "Finished #1 in total offense and defense" parade atsome point right?

Each NFL season is different. Do I think Jason Garrett can make us better? Yes. Do I think the end of last season was encouraging? Yes. However, comparing us statistically to the SB teams to show how "close" we are is both pointless and disingenuous.

Anyone up for a game of Rebus?

Because it's information.

Nope. Check your PM.

Not that I'm advocating ***** and moan threads, but the "look how close we were to the best teams in football in [/insert random stat here]" arent any better.

Green Bay and Pittsburgh made the Superbowl. We went 6-10. Hopefully Jason Garrett can change that. Threads like this serve only to try and justify failure, regardless of how much silver lining can be drawn from said failure. The second half the season gave reason for optimism, but the fact that we were similar to GB and Pitt in some meaningless stat means less than nothing.

Then it's high time for you to step up to the plate, isn't it? Stop complaining and post an example of what's an acceptable thread. Otherwise, my opinion remains unchanged about your viewpoint; but mind you. That's just my opinion.

It's kinda funny that the uneasy message board pause lasted up to nine hours, huh? :
