Takeaways is the reason for a Superbowl Win but something just as important is HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE......it's hard to win on the Road. I still say you bring Minnesota to Dallas and that Game had a totally different outcome.

Lords have mercy, yes HFA is a hell of an advantage!!!! Oh wait didnt the Giants not have HFA throughout the playoffs when they won? OO there goes that idea?

Anything else you want to add to the beaten horse?

You know what helps winning, ill give you the sport secret, no one knows this but us, here goes:

SCORE MORE POINTS THAN YOUR OPPONENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know how we would have beaten Minnesota? By scoring more points? But we didnt, we didnt show up, we didnt bother doing anything and we still have Garrett on the coaching staff?

The same guy who had Barber and the RB's running forward, and while that was working decided, going to the outside would help, well it didnt.

Coaches need to be changed more than anything else.

I agree. Obviously some teams have managed to go on the road and win, but that is not the preferred method.

Going on the road is a problem, but also worth noting not all road games are equal. Some venues are much more difficult due to potential weather problems such as Green Bay or noise issues such as Minnesota.

If Dallas could just take care of business in the regular season, it would be great to see the road to the Super Bowl have to come through Dallas.

HFA is like every aspect of the game, it can hurt or it cant. If Dallas played in Philly and still beat Philly, would the HFA helped? Did it help us, or the fact we played a good solid game?

Turnovers help, defense not letting the team score helps, you can go on and on and on and on, but the fact still remains, you need more points to win.

Stats dont help you win, the media doesnt, HFA isnt a given, momentum, but its the way of life.

EAch game is different, each field is different each team is different, so its all facets on a gem of many faces. you cant really pinpoint anything. its like saying 1 snowflake is better than all the rest.

HFA might just be the most overrated piece of the win/lose probability in all of sports.

It comes down to players and coaches in the end.

We did pretty well in New Orleans in a primetime, big time game this year.

Minny had their playoff game in NO won this year if not for a horrible sequence of coaching and player mistakes.

The fans didn't destroy our offense in Minny this year. The Minny players and coaches did that.
