The point was not really 11 points. It was simply more than 10.
11 is more than 10. Again, it wasn't 12. It was not 13. It was not even 2 TDs.SkinsandTerps;4866260 said:The point was not really 11 points. It was simply more than 10.
Well, I suppose it would if McLovin hadn't already shown we score the 3rd most points in the NFL in the 2nd half of games.jnday;4866264 said:I think this info should be alarming for the simple fact that it shows that this is a very bad first half team and some of the stats support that scoring in the second half is average. It simply reflects the state of the offense, which hasn't been that good.

Now by arguing over 10 vs 11 pts
talk about trying to muddy the waters
Red Ball has so far FAILED as a HC.
Simple as that
Not being able to score more than 10 pts in the first half is only a symptom of the disease
they drive the field and then penalties or turnovers.ScipioCowboy;4864250 said:It's such an odd stat for a team that ranks in the top 10 in total offense. I understand that points win games, but how can you run up and down the field so much and not score?
That's because Romo can carry the offense to 31pts in the 2nd half like he did vs WAS. sadly sometimes even that feat isn't enough.ScipioCowboy;4864250 said:It's such an odd stat for a team that ranks in the top 10 in total offense.

jnday;4866384 said:I misread the post. I wonder how much of the second half scoring came in garbage time when teams were allowing them to move the ball to run the clock out.

So there is no reason why we can't break that sad streak this week of not scoring beyond 10 pts. The time is now

This has been a 2nd half team for a while.

If McLovin did a bell curve for the league 6.6 would be in the tail with power houses like Cleveland and Jacksonville. That is standards of deviation away from average, good or our potential as evidenced by second half performance.
People can stick their head in the sand and argue the virtues of 10 vs. 11 vs. 14; but 6.6 is awful. It shows a team that is outmanned, ill-prepared or stubborn.
In any case, it does not fit with a defense that has invested in rushing the passer and coverage at the expense of employing run stuffers.
This thread isn't about Jason Garrett. Try and focus on the topic.burmafrd;4866340 said:Its hilarious how hard Hoss is defending his golden boy

Given we scored a huge chunk in a couple of come from behind wins, not enough to make it irrelevant. That would make it relevant.jnday;4866384 said:I misread the post.

For what? I have already said I misread the OP on 10 points. My point was, and is, it is arbitrary and I have exemplified this with 2 other scenarios that are being ignored. How strange.SkinsandTerps;4866442 said:WVC... you get props.
