Dallas Cowboys, Inside the Numbers: Is Jason Garrett the Frying Pan, or Fire?
After the Dallas Cowboys fell apart to start the 2010 season with a 1-7 record through the first eight games, head coach Wade Phillips was fired, and Jason Garrett appointed as interim head coach to take his place.
When Jason Garrett took over as interim head coach on November 8, 2010, he ignited Cowboys fans with talk of convictions and a more physical approach.
Cowboys fans were hungry for a hard nosed disciplinarian that would whip the Cowboys into shape and return them to the greatness they had enjoyed in the 90's under Jimmy Johnson and the 60's and 70's under Tom Landry.
Soon after stories began to leak out that Garrett was being a disciplinarian, changing the dress code for flights, requiring practices in pads on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and even changing the clocks in the training facilities from analog to digital so that players could know right to the second when team meetings would start.
After winning five games and losing three in the eight games remaining in the 2010 season, Garrett was named as the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys with a four year contract.
So what was the difference between the first eight games and the last eight?
Do Garrett's philosophies have what it will take to cook up a winning attitude in Dallas, or could the Cowboys of 2011 crash and burn in the flames of 2010?
Here's a breakdown of all 16 games, with a look at some interesting figures that will help shed some light on the Cowboys of 2010, and give us a look at why the two halves of 2010 had such contrasting results.
And at the end, the totals may surprise you.
Cowboys Frustration: Loss at Washington Leaves Cowboys Searching For Answers
1 of 18
In 2010 the Dallas Cowboys had 436 points scored against them.
Cries for defensive rebuilding began, and even Jerry Jones was quoted in saying that he might not have made a change at head coach if the defense hadn't disappeared.
But, did it really disappear, or was it merely lost in a barrage of points that the miscues of the Cowboys offense under Jason Garrett's supervision were helping opposing teams to put up?
Against the Redskins on opening night, it was Jason Garrett's call for a pass play with only four seconds remaining in the half that resulted in a fumble that the Redskins returned for their only touchdown of the night- but it was enough to provide them with the winning margin as they defeated the Cowboys 13-7.
But the Cowboys did manage to score a touchdown as time ran out--only to have it nullified by a holding penalty, and the game was over.
So far in 2010, the Cowboys defense had given up six points, while ther offense had given up seven.
Cowboys Run Out of Ammunition in Bear Hunt
2 of 18
The Cowboys lost to the Chicago Bears 27-20 in week two of 2010, but the scoring on both sides held it's own story.
The Cowboys vaunted offensive air show could only muster 13 points, and a Dez Bryant punt return for a touchdown gave them and additional seven.
But it was two interceptions from Tony Romo that gave the Bears six points off of two field goals, which would have easily been more if not for a tough Cowboys defense.
The Cowboys first drive of the day ended with Tony Romo being intercepted by the Bears and returned to the Cowboys own 18 yard line. Only a tough Cowboys defense prevented the Bears from scoring an easy touchdown, forcing them to settle for a field goal and a 3-0 lead.
Just before halftime, with 3:38 remaining, the Cowboys offense abandoned a run game altogether, and seven consecutive passes resulted in another interception that the Bears quickly turned into a second field goal, and went into halftime with a 20-14 lead.
The Cowboys eventually lost 27-20, while the Cowboys offense scored only 13 points.
Interceptions by the Cowboys offense also gave the Bears six points.
Week Three, 2010: Cowboys Set Aside Issues, Defeat Texans
3 of 18
Week three of the Cowboys 2010 season led them to Houston to play their in-state rivals, the Texans.
This time the offense was balanced and powerful, and there were no interceptions or easy points to help the Texans win.
The Cowboys defense shut down the Texans, while the Cowboys offense ran and passed in a 27-13 win that left Houston fans disappointed after the Texans had humiliated the Cowboys and won the "Governor's Cup" in the annual preseason meeting between these two teams just a month before.
On this day, both the offense and defense looked like the Cowboys that fans had hoped to see in 2010.
Unfortunately, it was a display that Cowboys fans would not see again until Jason Garrett was named head coach.
Still, it was a win, and winning make everything feel better.

Week Five, 2010: Cowboys Offensive Miscues Fuel Titans in Loss
4 of 18
After a bye week following the third game of the 2010 season, the Cowboys were at home to play the Tennessee Titans.
After three quarters of play the Cowboys and Titans were tied at 20-20.
Then Tony Romo throws an interception at the Cowboys 18 that is returned to the Cowboys one yard line.
The Titans score on one play, and take the lead 27-20.
After the Cowboys battle back and tie the score, a celebration penalty on Marc Colombo forces the Cowboys to kick off from their own 15 yard line.
The Titans return the kickoff to the Cowboys 12, and after a penalty the ball is moved to the Cowboys five yard line.
This time it takes only two plays for the Titans to score the touchdown that eventually is the winning margin.
While the Cowboys had scored 27 points on offense, it was the offense who had also provided the Titans with a very short field with which they had scored 14 quick points- which was the difference in this game.
Outside of those two plays, the Cowboys defense had allowed only 20 points.
27 points by the offense isn't too impressive when you give the opposing team 14.
Week Six: Cowboys and Vikings Meet in Showdown of
5 of 18
In 2009, the Minnesota Vikings defeated the Cowboys in the divisional round of the playoffs.
While the Vikings went on to compete for a chance to go to the Super Bowl against a New Orleans Saints team that the Cowboys had already beaten in New Orleans, the Cowboys resigned themselves to "wait till next year".
On October 17, 2010, next year arrived.
This time, however, both teams were struggling at 1-3, and pretty much resigned to the fact that the loser would have a very slim chance of making the playoffs.
With the Cowboys leading 7-0, Tony Romo threw an interception at the Cowboys own 26 that was returned to the Cowboys 16. From there, Brett Favre and Adrien Peterson took only two plays to tie the score.
Late in the game, with the score tied at 21, Tony Romo threw another interception at the Cowboys own 30. The Cowboys defense stiffened, but the Vikings still were able to kick the field goal that provided them with the winning margin.
The Vikings won the game 24-21.
The Cowboys offense had scored 21 points, but had provided the Vikings offense with an easy 10 points in return.
While the Cowboys defense was ranked number 1 in the NFL against the run and pass after this game, the additional points coming off of Cowboys turnovers were adding up in the points scored against them.
The Cowboys fell to 1-4, and hopes of making the playoffs began to fade into obscurity.
The bottom was about to fall out.
Week Seven: Romo Goes Out For Season, Cowboys Dreams Go Up in Smoke
6 of 18
Week seven of the 2010 season saw the Cowboys attempt to overcome their struggles against the rival New York Giants.
In the first quarter of this game, the Cowboys defense intercepted Eli Manning twice in Giants territory.
On the Giants first drive, Terrence Newman intercepted Manning and returned it to the Giants five yard line. The Cowboys offense scored a touchdown, and went up 7-0.
On the Giants second drive, Gerald Sensabaugh intercepted Manning and returned it to the Giants 18 yard line. This time the offense couldn't capitalize, and settled for a field goal to go ahead 10-0.
On the Giants first drive of the second quarter, Bradie James recovered a fumble at the Giants 43 yard line. Once again, the offense cannot capitalize as Tony Romo suffered a season ending injury while trying to pass.
The Cowboys settle for a field goal to go up this time by a score of 13-7.
Dez Bryant returns a Giants punt for a touchdown, and the Cowboys go up 20-7.
With John Kitna seeing his first action at quarterback in two years, the Cowboys go six consecutive drives with a three-and-out, with one of those drives ending with a fumble in the Cowboys own 44 yard line that the Giants convert into a field goal.
Playing by themselves most of the night, the Cowboys defense gives up 41 points to the Giants, and the Cowboys lose the game 41- 35.
The Cowboys offense did rebound, but it was the Cowboys defense that set them up for their first three scores with turnovers deep in Giants' territory. Dez Bryant added another 7 points while the Cowboys offense rallied to put up 15 points in the last quarter with the game already decided.
By this time, however, the realization of a 1-5 start was sinking in on everyone, and with Tony Romo out indefinitely, the Cowboys hopes were fading fast.
Week Eight: Jaguars Come to Dallas and Feast On Cowboys
7 of 18
Week eight of the 2010 season saw the Jacksonville Jaguars come into Dallas and devour the Cowboys.
It didn't start that way, but the turnovers by the Cowboys offense would eventually give the Jaguars an easy victory.
With the Cowboys down 7-3 in the second quarter, John Kitna threw his first interception of the day at the Jaguars 23 yard line. Not only did it end a scoring drive for the Cowboys, but the Jaguars were able to jump start their offense and in four plays they had scored a touchdown, going ahead 14-3.
At the end of the first half the Cowboys failed to score after having a first down and goal from the Jaguars nine yard line. On fourth and goal, John Kitna and Marion Barber collided in the backfield to end what should have been a drive for a touchdown.
In the third quarter, Kitna threw another interception that the Jaguars returned to the Cowboys 33, and then quickly converted into another touchdown.
In the fourth quarter, it was a Kitna interception that was returned to the Cowboys seven that would set up the Jaguars fifth and final score. Kitna threw four on the day.
In a game that the Cowboys lost 35-17, the Cowboys offense had provided the Jaguars with two turnovers deep in their own territory that led to 14 points, and also ended two more drives deep in Jacksonville territory without points.
It was a 28 point swing that very few teams can survive.
Week 9: A Nation Watches As Cowboys Freeze Over in Green Bay
8 of 18
What happened in Green Bay between the Dallas Cowboys and the Green Bay Packers on November 7, 2010 can only be described as a massacre.
Unfortunately, it appeared that a good portion of the Cowboys went willingly to their fate.
After a scoreless first period that saw the Cowboys defense block a Packers attempt at a field goal, the second quarter would remove all doubt as to the fate of the Cowboys on that night.
It started with a John Kitna interception that the Packers turned into their first touchdown of the night.
After the Cowboys went three-and-out with an offense that had completely abandoned any form of a running game, Green Bay scored their second touchdown of the night and led 14-0.
After another three and out in which the apathy of the Cowboys was witnessed on camera when Jason Witten was seen watching as a Packer defender came in untouched and nearly killed Marion Barber, the Packers once again scored with ease, and led 21-0.
On the ensuing kickoff, sad turned to pathetic as Brian McCann fumbled the kickoff and the Packers returned the fumble for a touchdown. 28-0, Packers lead.
The Cowboys passing game finally put up seven points on the board before halftime, and the score was Green Bay 28- Cowboys 7.
In the third quarter Kitna would throw another interception that would this time be returned all the way for a touchdown, and the Cowboys fates were sealed.
Green Bay had put up 45 points- and most bystanders would attribute this to bad defense.
But it was the Cowboys offense that helped Green Bay to 14 points, and the special teams handed them another seven points.
Add to that the three-and-outs by the offense all night, and a 33-14 pass-to-run ratio, and the defense of the Cowboys doesn't look quite so bad.
2010, Part II: Jason Garrett Appointed As Interim Head Coach
9 of 18
Wade Phillips was fired after the massacre in Green Bay, as Jerry Jones could bear no more of what he had seen.
In his press conference, he stated that the one factor that he had considered in naming Wade Phillips as the head coach of the Dallas Cowboys in 2007 was that he knew that if everything else went bad, at least he could be assured of having good defense.
But Jerry could never have contemplated Wade's defense having to contend with the Cowboys offense.
In 2010 the Cowboys had thus far lost seven of their first eight games, but it was not the Cowboys defense that had done the damage to them.
Through week nine of the 2010 season, Cowboys opponents had scored 232 points.
However, beginning with the opening night loss in Washington, the Cowboys offense could be directly linked to 68 points that were scored against the Cowboys off of turnovers.
Subtracting the points provided to opposing teams by the Cowboys offense would have reduced that number to 164 points in eight games.
By comparison, the Cowboys offense through the first eight games of 2010 had scored 161 points, but their offense had accounted for only 147 through the first eight games. Dez Bryant's two punt returns for touchdowns had provided another 14 points.
If you want to know how effective the offense under Jason Garrett was during the first eight games of 2010, you merely take the total amount of points scored(147) and subtract the amount of points his offense had given to opposing teams off of turnovers(68), and you can see the total.
It's not much of a guess as to why the Cowboys found themselves at 1-7 with offensive scoring that nets 79 points in eight games.
In the first eight games, the Cowboys offense averaged a net of 10 points per game, while the Cowboys defense was allowing an average of 20.5 points per game.
2010 Part II: Jason Garrett's Reign Begins; Cowboys Fans Anticipate Greatness
10 of 18
In Jason Garrett's first four games as interim head coach he amassed a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
Cowboys fans, desperate to see the team they knew and loved, accepted Garrett willingly without consideration of his role in the first seven losses of 2010.
Over the next four games, however, he was 2-2.
Against the New York Giants in his debut, the Dallas Cowboys produced a balanced, physical attack that Cowboys fans had not seen since week three versus the Houston Texans.
The Cowboys 33-20 win in New York was celebrated by Cowboys fans as the return of glory to this once proud franchise, but the reality was that the only change was that the offense had not handed points to the Giants off of turnovers.
Brian McCann's 101 yard interception return for a touchdown was a joy to behold.
The Cowboys offense scored 26 points, and were also aided by McCann's return for a touchdown.
The Cowboys defense gave up only 20, and helped the offense with seven more points on McCann's return.
2010 Part II: Cowboys Devour Lions In Week 11
11 of 18
The Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions 35-19 on November 21, 2010.
In this game, the offense for the Cowboys put up 28 points with, but they also gave the Lions 9 points in return off of a fumble at their own 14 yard line before the end of the first half, and on a safety at the beginning of the second half.
By comparison, the Cowboys defense caused a fumble that gave the Cowboys offense the ball at the Lions 19 yard line, and Brian McCann returned a Detroit punt 97 yards for a touchdown.
Two games into Garrett's administration, the Cowboys offense had scored 28 of the Cowboys 35 points, and McCann's touchdown on a punt return accounted for the rest.
By contrast, the Cowboys defense had given up only ten points, while the Lions had scored nine off of a safety and a turnover.
Cowboys, 2010: Part II, Saints Come Marching Into Dallas For Thanksgiving
12 of 18
The Thanksgiving day game with the New Orleans Saints in 2010 became a game to remember, but early on it looked more like one to forget.
The Cowboys offense was impotent early in this game, and an early interception from John Kitna helped the Saints lead at one point behind by a score of 17-0.
After swapping field goals, the Saints 17 point lead would again return, 20-3.
After battling back to within 7 points, the Cowboys special teams recovered a fumble at the Saints 15 yard line, setting the Cowboys offense up for the tying score- knotting the game up at 20-20.
The Cowboys' defense got in on the act, with Gerald Sensabaugh's interception of a Drew Brees pass in the fourth quarter, returning it to the Saints 39 yard line to put the Cowboys offense in position to score their last touchdown of the day.
Late in the fourth quarter with the Cowboys leading 27-23 it appeared that the game was won when Roy Williams caught a pass from John Kitna and was off to the races.
He never saw the tackler coming from his left side that stripped the ball and recovered it at the New Orleans 10.
The Saints drove the ball 90 yards and scored the winning touchdown, taking the game by a score of 30-27.
What was particularly maddening about this loss was that the Cowboys had the ball at the Saints 41 yard line with a first down,and just over a minute to play.
Garrett inexplicably called three straight short passes to Dez Bryant, and the Cowboys were forced to try a field goal from 59 yards to tie the game. It was wide left, and the Saints won the game.
The Cowboys' offense scored 27 points--14 with help from the Cowboys defense and special teams who put the offense on a short field, but had also given up three points on a field goal after an early interception at their own 31 yard line.
The Cowboys' defense had given up 27 points other than the three points after the interception early in the game. Sensabaugh's interception had also set up the offense for their last touchdown of the day.
The offense of the Cowboys had turned the ball over twice, resulting in six points for the Saints.
Just enough difference in a close game to matter.
Cowboys 2010, Part II: Cowboys Break Colts in Indianapolis
13 of 18
The Cowboys victory over the Colts sent chills through Colts fans and gave Cowboys fans redemption after the previous week's loss to New Orleans.
The Cowboys defense intercepted Peytin Manning four times, returning two of them for touchdowns- but also gave up 28 points to the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
The Colts blocked a Matt McBriar punt, and fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown for their other seven points.
The Cowboys offense scored 24 points, and Tashard Choice rushed for 100 yards in his first action since being benched while the Cowboys tried to figure out which way was up.
It was an enjoyable game to watch, but one still has to wonder what would have happened if the defense hadn't come up with two pick sixes to add 14 points to the Cowboys totals...
Cowboys 2010, Part II: Week 13, Eagles Provide Hard Hitting to Wake Up Cowboys
14 of 18
The Cowboys lost to the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 30-27 on December 12, 2010.
Bradie James intercepted a Michael Vick pass in the third quarter and returned it to the Eagles 37 to help set up the Cowboys offense inside Eagles territory in position to score a touchdown that would give the Cowboys a 20-14 lead.
With the Eagles leading 27-20, John Kitna was intercepted by the Eagles at the Cowboys own 33, but the Cowboys defense would hold the Eagles to just three points, making it a ten point game.
The Cowboys eventually scored a touchdown to pull to within three, and that would be where the game ended, with the Eagles on top 30-27.
The Cowboys offense had scored 27 points, but had assisted the Eagles with one interception that gave them three points off of a field goal. Kitna had two in the game.
The Cowboys defense had given up 30 points, but had helped the offense with Bradie James interception and held the Eagles to a field goal after Kitna's second interception late in the fourth quarter.
Cowboys, 2010, Part II: Redskins In Dallas, Offense Wasting Opportunities
15 of 18
Even though the Cowboys would win this game by a score of 33-30, the Cowboys defense and special teams gave the offense every opportunity to put the Redskins away early.
Brian McCann returned the opening kickoff to the Cowboys 46 yard line, giving the Cowboys excellent field position to start the game. From there the Cowboys offense moved to the Washington 20 yard line, where the drive stalled. David Beuhler kicked a 37 yard field goal and the Cowboys led 3-0.
After the Cowboys defense held the Redskins offense to a three-and-out in their opening drive, Brian McCann returned the Redskins punt to the Redskins 30 yard line. The Cowboys drove to within the Washington 1 yard line, and came up short on fourth and goal, turning the ball over on downs.
Gerald Sensabaugh intercepted Rex Grossman at the Redskins 36 and returned it to the Redskins 27 to put the Cowboys in scoring position mid way through the first quarter.
The Cowboys scored a touchdown, and went up 10-0.
Brian McCann returned the Redskins next punt to the Washington 35. From there the Cowboys drove to the Washington two yard line, where they settled once again for a David Beuhler field goal.
The Cowboys defense forced a Rex Grossman fumble on the Redskins opening drive of the second half, and recovered it at the Washington 15. This time the Cowboys scored a touchdown, and were up by a score of 27-7.
With the Redskins scoring three times to bring the score to 30-30, the Cowboys offense moved into position to kick the winning field goal with :50 seconds left to play.
The Cowboys defense and special teams gave the Cowboys offense the ball inside the Redskins 35 four different times and once from the Cowboys 46 yard line on the opening kickoff.
The Cowboys offense moved inside the Washington 10 yard line four times, scoring two touchdowns, kicking one field goal, and turning the ball over on downs once.
The Cowboys offense scored 20 points off of drives that the defense made possible inside the Redskins territory- four times from inside the Redskins 35 yard line.
The Cowboys defense gave up 30 points as the Redskins almost came back to win the game.
What was most frustrating about this game was Garrett's call to run Tashard Choice straight ahead into a goal line defense that was stacked to the center of the line. Not surprisingly, he didn't make it.
Cowboys 2010, Part II: Arizona Cardinals and the Nightmare on Christmas
16 of 18
Early in the game with the Arizona Cardinals, Jason Garrett had returned to the pass happy traits of the first eight games.
It was not until John Kitna went out with an injury that forced Stephen McGee into his first action as an NFL quarterback that Garrett returned to a balanced attack.
It was too late. Kitna had already thrown two interceptions in the first quarter that the Arizona Cardinals returned for touchdowns.
In a trait that has become prevalent with Garrett's offensive coordination, his inability to resist the temptation to call a pass oriented attack results in interceptions that cost the Cowboys with points to the opposing team.
On the first drive for the Cowboys, Kitna's first pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
On the Cowboys second drive, Garrett called two passes, then two runs, then reeled off four passes in a row. The fourth was intercepted and returned for a touchdown.
The Cowboys had spotted the Cardinals a 14 point lead in a game that the Cardinals were playing their fourth quarterback of the season.
The Cowboys lost 27-26, and the media cried about the defense letting the Cowboys down.
The Cowboys defense gave up 13 points.
The Cowboys offense scored 26 points, but gave up 14- a twelve point difference.
The Cowboys fell to 5-10, and 4-3 under Jason Garrett.
Cowboys 2010, Part II: Cowboys Finish Season With Stephen McGee, Beat Eagles
17 of 18
With Stephen McGee at the helm the Cowboys were forced to run a balanced offense.
The results were the same as the times before when Garrett hadn't allowed the offense to give opposing teams points--the Cowboys won.
This time the Cowboys won by a score of 14-13 over an Eagles team that already knew their status in the 2010 playoffs, and were more intent on finishing out the season without injury.
But Kevin Kolb, the Eagles backup quarterback wanted to win. Since losing his job to Michael Vick, Kolb has decided to seek work elsewhere if the Eagles will not commit to him being the starter in 2011.
The Cowboys passed 27 times and ran the ball 34 times, and made just enough plays to win.
The Cowboys defense held the Eagles with Kevin Kolb to just 13 points, including intercepting Kolb three times--once at the Cowboys 10 yard line to putting a Philadelphia drive to rest.
DeMarcus Ware picked up a Kevin Kolb fumble and ran it in for one score.
In this game, the Cowboys defense matched the Cowboy's offense in scoring, but considering it was Stephen McGee's first start, he did pretty well.
Frying Pan, Or Into The Fire: You Make the Call
18 of 18
In the final eight games of 2010 the Cowboys offense scored 205 points, as opposed to the first eight games when they put up only 147.
They gave up 16 points on interceptions and could be directly linked to 13 more points off of turnovers that the defense scored off of turnovers.That was less than half of what it was during the first eight games of the season, when the offense could directly be linked to 68 points scored by opposing teams off of turnovers.
Over the final eight games of 2010 the Cowboys offense netted 176 points, a far cry from the 79 of the first eight games.
The Cowboys offense netted an average of 22 points per game in the second half of 2010, as compared to just under 10 points for the first eight games.
The Cowboys special teams and defense added 28 points, as opposed to just 14 during the first eight games.
The Cowboys defense gave up 191 points in the second half of 2010, but had also given back 28 points in the form of interception returns for touchdowns, and DeMarcus Ware's return of a fumble in the last game of the year for a touchdown. With those numbers accounted for, the Cowboys defense for the second half of 2010 allowed a net total 163 points, and averaged allowing a net of 20.375 points per game.
In an amazing stat, the defense had nearly matched their net for the first eight games, when they averaged allowing a net of 20.5 points per game.
The Colts had also scored seven points against the Cowboys on a blocked punt.
So where does that leave the Cowboys under Jason Garrett?
In the second half of 2010 the defense stayed surprisingly the same as the first half; giving up an average of just over 20 points per game.
But it was the offense that showed vast improvements, reducing the number of turnovers in the Cowboys own territory that resulted in quick points for their opponents.
When I started writing this article, I expected to see the offensive improvement in breaking down the stats, and by far that has been a big difference;
But what I was surprised to see was the jump in turnovers created by the defense in the second half of the season as the offensive turnovers stopped.
The Cowboys offense of the first eight games turned the ball over 19 times, as opposed to 11 times in the second half of 2010. In comparison, the defense created 20 turnovers in the second half of 2010, as opposed to 10 in the first eight games of 2010.
The turnover difference between the first eight games to the second did a complete reversal.
The offense began netting an average of 22 points per game in the second half of 2010, as opposed to just under 10 points per game in the first eight games of the year.
What does that say about Jason Garrett?
In the first eight games, the Cowboys net totals were just under 10 points on offense, just over 20 on defense. With 14 points on special teams to add to the scoring, they were still at just under 12 points, versus the 20 points against them.
In the final eight games, the Cowboys net totals jumped to 22 points on offense, and 21 on defense. Add to that the 28 points from interceptions and special teams play, and the Cowboys net scoring jumps to right at 26 points per game, versus 21 on defense.
For those that criticize the Cowboys defense, it was their interceptions for touchdowns versus the Colts and DeMarcus Ware's fumble return versus the Eagles that added two wins to the Cowboys totals in 2010.
Did Garrett's philosophies make the difference in the Cowboys during the second half of 2010?
You be the judge.
But for the Cowboys of 2011, success will depend on having an offense that nets more points than the defense will allow.
And that's the bottom line.
