Evan Wrote:Apoc Wrote:I(they're like 22-1 when Barber has 11+ carries)Using rushing yards/carries per win is a bum statistic. When a team is already winning, they run the ball more. Im all about a strong run game, but using it as a sole reason for winning/losing games is misleading.
correlation != causation but interesting nonetheless
All I know is they needed more than 8 ruishing attempts if they were going to open up the passing game. Most of the time Barber was back in protection and Romo's timing was still off. I think the def line had a lot to do with it. They needed to get Felix Jones out in the flat or behind the linebackers to break it open... but they didn't even try.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
