Romo doesn't throw many picks anymore. He'll hang around until something sure opens up or he'll take a sack now. He has played a lot of Aaron this year actually. I wonder if he'll stick to that on Sunday.

Over the course of the season I've been keeping an eye on Demarco Murray and the number of carries he's had over the season. I admit I kept an eye on his carries and progress fearing a playoff clash. A quick rundown of Murray's stats shows 392 carries for 1845 yards with 13 TDs with 57 receptions for 416 and no TDs receiving. That's 449 touches for a combined 2261 yards from scrimmage, similar to what RBs where putting up in the early to mid 00s during the hey-day of 3 down dual threat backs. Throw in the game vs Detroit, that's 471 touches for 2385 yards from scrimmage and 19 TDs.

Breaking down his stats by halves

First 8 games: 25.63 carries, 5.27 per carry, 132 yards and 0.88 TDs per game
Last 8 games: 23.38 carries, 4.25 per carry, 98.88 yards and 0.75 TDs per game

Breaking down by quarters

1st quarter: 24.75 carries, 5.4 per carry,
133.5 yards and 1.25 TDs per game
2nd quarter: 26.5 carries, 5.13 per carry, 130 yards and 0.5 TDs per game
3rd quarter: 20.5 carries, 4.55 per carry, 93.25 yards and 0.25 TDs per game
4th quarter: 26.25 carries, 3.95 per carry, 104.5 yards and and 1.25 TDs per game

vs Lions: 19 carries, 3.9 per carry, 75 yards and 1 TD

His yards, yards per carry and TDs all took a dip in the second half of the season. Whether or not this was because teams loaded up to stop the run or Murray just being worn out I can't say. Against teams that either made the playoffs (Arizona, Indy, Detroit) or finished with a winning record (Philly X2), Murray failed to top 100 yards, averaged 73.2 yards on 3.4 yards a carry and scored 5 TDs. I think if GB wins, his stat line will look something like that.

I think this will be a surprisingly low scoring game.


I'm still not as confident as most, but I cannot pick the Cowboys.
I just can't.

Green Bay 19
Dallas 17
Mason Crosby = game MVP.

Romo is either Hot or Cold. He will be very Cold on Sunday !

Basically the opposite of the Metrodome roof collapsing [grin1]

I can't add to much to what's already been said, except that DeMarco Murray has a BIG padded glove on his left hand, it will be cold and he has a penchant for fumbling. Sounds like a perfect storm to me. Hit him and hit him hard right on the ball!

Cowboys - 13
Packers - 38

Go Packers!
