-Allow me to repeat what I just wrote, for full effect: Half of all NFL games last season were within three points at some point in the fourth quarter. And Garrett is right in pointing out that playoff teams do better in those games: Playoff teams had a .671 winning percentage (57-27-1) in these "three-point" games, non-playoff teams had a .407 winning percentage (68-98-1). Those percentages are in line with what we <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton Tassen</a> saw above, which just reinforces the point that good teams find ways to win and bad teams find ways to lose, regardless the circumstance.

-I once heard someone say that you could significantly simplify the NBA by having teams start with the score tied at 100 - 100 and then let the teams decide the winner in the next five minutes. At the time, I thought that was pretty funny, but I find it a lot less funny when applied to the NFL: Play just one quarter and give one team a three-point advantage - half the games last year were exactly that.

-Back to the Cowboys: Garrett is emphasizing fourth quarter performance for a very good reason. You may find this hard to believe given how we're constantly being told that the Cowboys were seemingly overmatched in many games over the last three years, but in 29 of the 48 games the Cowboys <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton Kopen</a> played over the last three seasons, the difference in points between the Cowboys and their opponents at one point during the fourth quarter was three points <a href=http://www.louisvuittontassenkopen.com>Louis Vuitton Handtassen</a> or less. That's sixty percent, or almost two thirds, of all games that were there for the taking for the Cowboys. And one of the reasons the Cowboys finished all three seasons the way they did is because their record in those 29 "three-point" games was a disappointing 13-16.

-Last year, the Cowboys played in seven games decided by three points or less (in which they recorded a dismal 2-5 record), but they played 10 games in which the difference in points between the Cowboys and their opponents was three points or less at one point during the fourth quarter. The Cowboys' record in those close games: 4-6. Here's a summary of those ten games.
