I really do too and I don't think they are done picking up pieces. Here is how teams like the old Cowboys, today's Patriots, etc, maintain their high level of play. When many veterans are in their last years of their careers and haven't won a championship they are willing to latch onto a great...

Ahem..... We interrupt this blithering to bring you an important announcement. Only three NFL teams over the past 45 years have won more games than they lost in all 5 decades!! The 70's The 80's The 90's the 2000's and the 2010's so far..... Two of these teams are the Denver Broncos and...

First, get it yourself. Secondly, really? This is going to be an exercise in semantics? What are we, a bunch of freakin' lawyers? Okay, the Cowboys are as consistent as any team can be consistent over the past 45 years..... QUESTION: What is the longest losing streak the Cowboys have...

Okay, isn't there a little hypocricy going on here? I mention a time frame of 45 years. Some of you think 10 to 15 years is more important. Why? Because you want to show that the more immediate past indicates the mediocrity we've all been forced to experience? Like I don't feel it justvas...

I think that having our d-line practice daily against an offensive line considered one of the best is going to pay big dividends. You got to believe the D-line has enough pride that they arent going to take being shoved around all training camp with Marinelli screaming at their backs. I'd...

It's not a fallacy, we're simply using different time intervals. Of course the measurements would be different if we were talking about 30 years ago, 20 years ago, 10 years ago, 1 year ago. I simply said that "since the time of the AFL-NFL merger", the Dallas Cowboys have been one of the most...

Our data pool consists of all team's seasons starting with the 1970 season, the first "merged" season where the AFL became the AFC of the NFL. I typically refer to this period as the "modern" age of NFL football because we have 26 to 32 teams instead of half and there is cross conference games...

For all of you our there that miss Murray, myself included, we'll just say the Cowboys did sign him to 7 mil a year. Unfortunately, in the first week of training camp, he got hurt and will be out for the season. Is that so far fetched? Now everybody is happy. The fans that wanted to keep him...

We've had great safties in the past like Cornell Green, Cliff Harris but I think Darren Wooden was the last great one. He could play the against the run and the pass. When he left the game, Roy Williams basically went with him. Without Darren, Roy couldn't just play to his strength of run...

......Mindtwat....

Well, I've looked at what I consider to be the best data and statistics when evaluating the offensive line and they are legit. This line is scary good and when you consider the aggressive moves to become even stronger this could be an historically elite squad. With the additions of Collins and...

Watkins: A look at Tony Romo under duress This is a post by mindswat, dated a little over two years ago. "How a quarterback performs under pressure can make or break games or seasons. While Romo can make plays on the run, sometimes he holds the ball too long, which leads to problems." And...

Trent Dilfer mentioned Romo's fast release once in terms of the quickness of motion in delivering the pass. I made it very clear that I was talking in terms of decision making, i. e. the time from when the ball is snapped to when the pass is made. He has constantly been cited for holding onto...

Just put on your fucking paper hat and go to work, okay? I'm sure there are already people waiting for you to hand them their McMuffin....if you are even that far up the organizational chart. And please don't use statistics again, its just sad when you try any type of analytical reasoning, I...

A great site with very interesting statistical data that is more meaningful than the typical stats. One of their most impressive analysis is on the offensive lines. They divide yardage into categories that include 2nd level and open field, which they attribute more to the quality of the RB...

Nate Newton is a guy I respect when it comes to football knowledge and talking about the Cowboys. He really likes the LB squad, really thinks that Kinchen can be really special and should start in the middle during MCCain's suspension. Says that Randle definitely has better vision than Murray...

Speed and even doesn't mean a whole lot in the 4th quarter when a RB is working around his 20th to 25th carry. Its generally agreed that Randke has great vision and speed but it's consistancy and stamina that will run down the clock in the 4th quarter if a close game. Without that, its Romo...

I've watched 677 regular season Cowboy games and 55 playoff games that include 8 Super Bowls and 13 Conference championship games. I've seen Cowboy quarterbacks that were 1st round picks like Craig Morton and Troy Aikman, guys that would have been 1st round picks like Roger Staubach, really...

You are talking about the speed of his arm motion in releasing the ball and I'm 100% skeptical. there was one reference to this on ESPN but, for the most part, his name is not mentioned regarding fast releases. I'm talking about deciding where the ball is going and getting it out of there. He...

Actually that part is true, the Germans used to bomb the shipyards. My mom was 5 years old in 1943, she was the youngest of 4. Okay so someone asked if my "opinion" on Romo was based on stats. It is based on specific facts. Tony Romo was undrafted, he did not enter the field as a qb until his...
