#15. Yards gained is a misleading statistic for deciding how good our offense is - look at how few points they score!
#16. Points allowed is a misleading statistic for deciding how good our defense is - look at all the yards they give up!
Good one:D

Awesome. And right on, except 10 if it's referring to Barber in the Giants game where he didn't tuck the ball properly.

I agree. I like the post overall, but Barber's gaffe was enormous and totally his fault. He saw the defender and didn't protect the ball properly. That was a bad, bad mistake. That game was huge.

I have read every one of these things this season either here or in chat. Just wanted to gather all my learnings in one place.

1. When pass plays fail at the one-yard line, it's Garrett's fault for not running every down.
2. When run plays fail at the one-yard line, it's Garrett's fault for not passing.
3. When the defense holds teams to the fewest points they've scored all season and the Cowboys lose anyway, the defense (a) is the reason the team lost and (b) has no heart.
4. When the offense scores 30+ points and the Cowboys lose anyway, the offense (a) is the reason the team lost and (b) has no heart.
5. The Cowboys run too many screen plays, so Garrett should be fired.
6. The Cowboys never run screen plays, so Garrett should be fired.
7. Garrett is terrible because he only takes what the defense gives.
8. Garrett is terrible because he attacks the strength of the defense instead of taking what the defense gives.
9. Third-down plays that result in dumpoffs behind the line to gain were designed that way from the start, so Garrett should be fired.
10. Good RBs never ever fumble in game-critical situations, like late in the first quarter.
11. Defenses that lose their best player to injury usually improve in performance. Failure to do so means that the players have no heart.

Yep....great post and absolutely 100% true.

I like that...

We pass too much AND run too much!

Damn that Garrett.

You like failure?:confused:

If you pass 10 times in a row the odds are against you when you get to the redzone.

If you run the ball 10 times in a row.......
