Style points matter come playoffs. Attempting FG off turnovers translates to losses against the best teams. Tampa is fools gold. Originally Posted by BoltfanAgreed, Bolt.

And I also agree, settling for FG's will eventually get you beat come playoff time. Six attempts (by Bailey last night) was a lot; as it turned out in the case of playing Tampa, this wasn't an issue & didn't cost the Cowboys the victory.
It will though (be and issue) when Dallas plays teams like Atlanta, Seattle or the Giants (again) in post-season. Garrett may eventually be facing some tough decisions (ie: 4th and one...go for it in hopes of scoring a TD..?...or kick the sure 3-pointer?)
