The story of this game is rather simple.  In the second half our defense played excellent football, limiting the other team to 7 points.  That normally is enough for the Cowboys to win.  And yes, Crayton had a killer drop, which makes him a target for criticism following his comments, but Fasano too had a killer drop and his was near the end zone.

No, the story here is the failure of the offensive line to do their job in the second half.  Romo played about as well as he could given the circumstances.  Constantly he was under pressure, being hit, and had little time to allow plays to develop.  In addition, the line created little running room for Barber.  In addition x2, there were the false start penalties and Bigg's personal foul.  The reason the offense sputtered in the second half was the lack of consistent play by the big men up front.  The reason we made the playoffs, won 13 games, etc. was that we had the best pass blocking line this side of New England.  That fell apart against the Giants, and so too did our offense, and ultimately the game.
