You failed to mention that Dak was sacked six times in the game. Did you just miss that stat?
I literally put the sack totals, tackle totals, etc. for both teams in my post on the game. Man, your emotions even get in the way of your reading.
Coach Belichick won't comment on games he hasn't watched, FWIW.
Bill barely comments on the games he coaches. So...
lain:
Yes, because unlike others on this thread, Bill knows that the outcome of games is not determined by the final stats of a game.
No one has ever said they are. But stats reflect the play, the quality of it and, with rare exception, the outcome.
Earlier I said that the Boys dominated the Chiefs and you can see that headline at many places on the internet:
You can. You can also see videos about aliens and cats that play piano. Those are a little funnier.
What I didn't see was a national commentator among them. I did see it from "thelandryhat", surely one of the more unbiased voices out there. Way out there. A couple of guys with Youtube accounts. Tony, from KC.
Of course the reason you have to go really, really small to use the word is that the only argument you really had for it was a narrow focus on pts right before the half.
Despite the fact that you did not even see the game you dispute what I said and what many sportswriters wrote about the game.
To be fair, I didn't say that I didn't see the game. I said I didn't see it wearing a Cowboys' jersey. In other words, I didn't watch it like a homer. But you were so quick to jump up and down on the point I had to have a little fun with the absurdity of it. And I don't watch any game cradle to grave unless it's a matchup I think is going to determine something and the teams are making it worth losing insight on other games...or unless my son is determined on the point. Jack has decided that he's a Chiefs fan. Like some in Dallas I have no idea why.
Time for a breakdown.
I thought Williams was terrific for you on a few big plays. He had...what, nearly 150 to lead receivers? He got 55 on one play (the sideline catch with a great burst to take it to the Cowboys' 10). Dez had an over the middle catch for 15 or better on a third down from inside their own 20 that I thought was pretty darn good. And suddenly it was 14 to 3 and looking grim. The difference wasn't dominance in the half, it was (as is often the case in the NFL) a couple of big plays made by the Boys and a couple of missed opportunities by the Chiefs. It took a great play at the end of the half to put KC back in the game. That's how it was. A couple of big plays and Dallas is pulling away. One big play on the other side and the Chiefs are within 4.
That's where I suspect a handful of people, largely Cowboys fans, decided the game was one sided. It wasn't, but if my team was up 14 to 3 and I'd seen three or four explosive plays largely met with more methodical and smaller efforts, and if I'd contained one of the best backs in the league (line woes or no) I'd feel pretty darn good about myself right up to the point where that back and team hit me in the mouth at the half and made it a 4 pt game, which is what happened.
Then KC, in non spectacular fashion, took the lead on a td pass solidly into the third. No one is thinking dominance at that point, are they? Certainly not the crowd watching KC stage a potato sack race in the end zone, which was funny. Your guys answered with a long drive and short yardage td and we're at 21-17 and still anyone's ballgame going into the 4th.
In the 4th your guys put together a great clock eating drive to score that left around nine minutes on the plate, but more importantly upped the differential ante and forced the Chiefs to take chances. Kansas City made it into Dallas territory before a nice pick that Alex shouldn't have thrown stopped the drive. It was a good game. And Dallas out played the Chiefs. No question about it. But a game decided in the fourth where the ball movement and offensive/defensive stat line tells you it's up for grabs isn't a dominant performance. It was, instead, what classy Cowboy fans should note it as, a great win against a tough opponent.
Or you could keep doing the Trump bit and see how that works out for you by the end of the season.
As to yahoos who talk about dominance on the internet and Youtube, well, knock me over with a feather. :chuckle:
