In 16 games, the Cowboys only allowed a 100 yard WR FOUR TIMES, and two of those times were against Giants WR Steve Smith. The other two were Mario Manningham and Vincent Jackson. That's pretty remarkable. Our defense is the main reason we are where we are right now. :starspin

Even more impressive, imo....they have allowed ZERO 100 yard rushing games.

how the frick do the giants dominate our defense so much worse than anyone else? anyone have a clue? Mario Manningham? seriously...cmon..Steve Smith is a stud, but he shouldnt be good for 100 yards every game vs us either..Why are they so potent against us?

Another remarkable stat is that we have allowed 2 TDs in the past 3 games, and 4 TDs in the past 4 games.

Also, we've held opponents out of the endzone 11 out of the last 12 quarters played. The offenses were no slouches...including the Saints and Eagles.

That formula will win a lot of games in this league.

They literally played their hardest against us in those two games.

Steve Smith for the Giants has become a thorn in the Cowboys side... They need to jam him on the line because he doesn't have any deep speed really.

How about this one: outside of our two games against the Giants, this defense has allowed only 13.3 ppg in the remaining 14 games.

Good stat. That's domination right there. Even back in 07' there were times where Romo and the offense had to outscore teams because the D would give up big plays and points at the worst times. Now I feel pretty confident if we get anywhere from 21-28 points, we'll win the ballgame.

Correction...Cowboys did not allow an individual rusher rushing for 100 yards, the team has given up 100 yards or more combined, just not to an individual rusher.
