Right, Ozzy. Anyone that catches you trying to sling BS is "ignorant."

BTW, they're 22nd in the league in punt returns. 30th in punt distance, though 23rd in
net yards. Not much of a punting game there.

What's the matter with admitting they have a very good running game (7th) and a great
defense (2nd on points, best on yards)? They have a 7 and 3 record, were tied for second
in the league before the game, and still lead their division. Shutting them out was a
significant achievement.

Oh, bull dockey. You're an ignorant stick. Most of the cowboy points, both
offensive and defensive and special teams resulted from field position
provided by the special teams, (especially punting), not from the offense.

Sorry, around here points after and field goals are not usually referred
to as "scoring by
special teams" since they are the product of the offense. Even so, while
they've only
scored 16 TDs by the offense, there are many other teams that have similar
records, and
many teams higher up in the offensive ranking have a "TD ratio" within a
few percentage
points of Dallas. Arizona, ranked last, has a 61% ratio - are you
claiming theirs is a
great offense? You're making a claim of a poor offense based on a stat
that is not very
poor, and not very meaningful.

Further, you're using the stats after they were shut out, what counts is
their record
before the shutout. Otherwise, you could claim that no victory is
meaningful, since the
other team was a loser. Before this game, they were rated in the top half
of the league,
offensively.

Once again, you're trying a prove a case using meaningless statistics.

You really go off half-cocked most of the time, don't you. Dallas'
offense
has scored only 53 percent of the teams points this year:

Offense
9 TDs passing = 54
7 TD rushing = 42
Total offense points = 96

Dallas Cowboys Defensive and Special Teams Points:
FG - 15 for 45 points
Kickoff returns 1 for 6 points
Interceptions 2 for 12 points
Safeties 1 for 2 points
PAT- 18 made for 18 points
Total defensive and special teams points = 85

Total points scored 85 + 96 = 181

85/181= 46.96 percent

Before this weekend Dallas was 15th out of 32 in total points per
game.
Seventh in yards
rushing, but 20th in yards passing. Clearly this loss will drop them
down.

Of their 19 TDs, 2 were interceptions, 1 kickoff return. This was
about
the same as most
other teams. Their net takeaway/giveaway was +1.

Are we talking about the same team, or are you just making it up like
you
normally do?

Dallas is the fourth worst offense in terms of points scored. They
are
averaging 18.1 points per game and have been shut out twice. Only
Atlanta,
Arizona, Detroit and Chicago are scoring less points than Dallas.
And
44
percent of Dallas points have been scored by its defense and special
teams.

One of the better offenses, get real.

Dallas has one of the better offenses in the NFL, averaging over
20
ppg.
Shutting them
out was impressive. This will make the Pats defense one of the
best
in
the league - they
were 6th before the game, this will move them up.

Their offense isn't that shabby, either, but I must admit its
sometimes
less than
scintillating. Still, they're tied for second place in the NFL,
not
too
bad.

Shut out the number 1 defense? It's nice when defenses score,
but
it's
Dallas' offense that was shut out. Which isn't that hard to do.
Dallas
defense held the mighty Pats to 12 points. They won't beat
anybody
else
scoring 12 points.

The Patriots shut out Cowboys tonight.

So what does it mean when you shut out the #1 defense in the
NFL?

What does it mean when you win 6 in a row?

When they beat Miami in Miami, that means something too!

The Patriots are on the way to another Superbowl win.

You heard it from me first!
