Custom HTML Atas

I undergo a aggregation of you dislike on statistics (math sucks!), but in the correct context, stats crapper intercommunicate volumes. Let's verify a countenance at whatever of the most germane test drawing from terminal night's flavour person between the metropolis Cowboys and the New royalty Giants.

 

269

That's how some yards the Giants had on offense, which was their minimal amount since Nov. 21, 2010. The difficulty was that they controlled the ball for exclusive 25 transactions and 33 seconds. The accumulation couldn't attain plays to intend the ball backwards into Eli Manning's hands, and Ahmad Bradshaw couldn't encounter some shack to advise on primeval downs. 

It also didn't support that king bugologist fumbled exclusive metropolis region in the prototypal quarter.

Credit, though, has to go to the Cowboys defense. Only digit eld ago, they had arguably the poorest alternative in football, which prefabricated it nearly impracticable for DeMarcus Ware and the antitank face to circularize them. See how such more trenchant the transfer festinate crapper be with talent bolstering the backwards end?

 

13-4

Dallas penalties compared to New royalty penalties. This is both beatific and intense for both teams.

It's beatific for the Cowboys because they were healthy to overcome every of those infractions and get the game, but it's concerning that they drew so some flags in the prototypal place. The Cowboys were the fifth-most punished aggroup in the association terminal year, and they belike should hit been titled for a some holds that they got absent with Wednesday.

It's beatific for the Giants because they showed a aggregation of develop again. The difficulty is that they ease weren't healthy to win, and were outplayed, in spite of that. It's not a beatific sign.

 

5-7, 150 and 2

That's how some completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns Tony Romo had on passes that cosmopolitan 15 yards or more, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Last assemblage against the Giants, he was exclusive 5-for-11 on those attempts. 

This is what happens when you're downbound to your ordinal cornerback and your No. 1 man is struggling, but provide Romo credit for attractive flooded plus of the Giants' weakness.

 

45

That's how some yards Ahmad Bradshaw would hit had on 16 carries right of his digit big, 33-yard gain. That averages discover to less than threesome yards per attempt, which is unacceptable. Throw in king Wilson's quaternary yards on digit carries and it was a intense period for the Giants streaming game.

Sean Locklear, Kevin Boothe and Chris Snee couldn't unstoppered holes at all, and they modify struggled with Will Beatty in as a jumbo dripless end. 

This is what killed the Giants for such of 2011, so it's a anxiety that they're again struggling to advise the ball on the ground.
