Dan "Split'Em" Bailey Bails Out Cowboys, Dallas Defeats Redskins In OT 27-24

in Dallas Cowboys Games
Email
PrintIn a game where special teams threatened to derail all of the progress this team has made over the last two weeks, kicker Dan Bailey booted the Cowboys to a 27-24 overtime win over the Washington Redskins. Luckily, Mike Shanahan attempted to ice Bailey and saved the Cowboys goose (turkey?) by calling a timeout as the play clock was winding down. Holder Tony Romo was attempting to call the timeout himself, but Dallas didn't have any and would have incurred a delay of game penalty if he wasn't saved. Bailey came on and snuck the kick inside the right goal post, his 25th in a row, providing Cowboys fans everywhere some relief.
Dallas appeared completely out of sync in the second quarter, letting an early 10-0 lead turn into a 14-10 halftime deficit on the heels of horrible punts and big returns by Brandon Banks. The second half however saw the Redskins special teams implode, as Graham Gano missed two field goals, including one on the opening drive of overtime. The Cowboys got the ball in great field position, converted a huge third down, and Dan Bailey kicked this team to a victory and a 6-4 record heading into the Thanksgiving Day game.
More...
The Cowboys defense had a chance to close the game out and couldn't. After an pop-fly interception by Orlando Scandrick, Dallas was forced to punt and pinned Washington at their 11 with five minutes plus left on the clock. Washington marched 89 yards downfield using all but 14 seconds, tying the game on a Donte Stallworth fade route on 3rd and goal. Washington won the kick and drove downfiled before Gano missed the 52 yards field goal.
Tony Romo, who escaped pressure throughout the game with spin moves, skated out of the pocket on a big third down and found Dez Bryant free of DeAngelo Hall for 26 yards to move into field goal range. Two play later, Bailey was on the field for what seemed like an eternity.
The Cowboys were able to right their offensive ship in the late third quarter, then Romo found Laurent Robinson for a seven yard score to start the fourth and tie the game. On their next possession, the Cowboys converted two key 3rd and 8's, the second a beautiful Romo scramble and deep pass to Jason Witten. Witten had ran a curl from the right slot, saw Romo escape and signaled his best friend he was going deep. Romo hit him in stride and The Senator outraced the Redskins defense, with the help of a downfield block, and scored on the 59 yard completion.
Romo finished the game with 292 yards and three touchdowns, on 23 of 32 passing. His numbers don't do justice to his ability to make plays in crucial moments. In the first half, Romo was only 2 for 7 on 3rd down passing conversions, although that included the first TD of the game, a great pass to Dez Bryant who had worked free of DeAngelo Hall. Most of the incompletes were on attempts to Laurent Robinson; with whom Romo struggled to get on the same page with.
In the second half, Romo went 4 for 6 on third down throws with two more touchdowns. One was the TD to Robinson, another the TD to Witten and the last, the crucial connection to Dez Bryant. Bryant hadn't made a catch since the end of the first quarter.
The Cowboys hung on despite a run game that clearly missed fullback Tony Fiammetta. 30 rushes for 91 yards is all that the team could muster as rookie phenom DeMarco Murray was repeatedly met in the hole by Washington defenders. Numerous penalties also put the team in precarious positions on several occasions. Several players, notably Orlando Scandrick and Mat McBriar, played possibly their worst games of the season. Yet still, the Cowboys found a little mojo and escaped with their playoff hopes still bouncing in their heads.
BTB will have much more in the coming days, even with the short week. For now, wipe your forhead, thank whatever higher power you believe in and start to get ready for Matt Moore and the suddenly potent Miami Dolphins.

Why isn’t he in the conversation for ROY? He’s won more games than Cam Newton and is currently #3 in NFL scoring.
Kickers get no love
It’s as simple as that. I think Bailey was essentially the best kicker available this year period end of story.
If there was a kicker of the year award, he’s a shoe in.

Not a playoff team
Speciial teams isn’t the only let down today and most other Sundays. Special teams coach needs to go! I’ll pack his suit case. The defense is great if your looking from behind the linebackers forward. Our secondary is embarassing. Rex Grossman is a moderate QB, but he looked like Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers against our secondary. The Redskins final TD play was so obvious before the snap. My 3 year old grandaughter could tell you “Rex’s gonna throw the fade.” Why can’t a professional football cornerback in the NFL not be able to know and adjust this same obvious fact. I could see it 2000 miles away on my TV, and he’s 15 feet in front of the reciever and 15 yards away from the QB.

the wr
can run a fade or slant. One of our cbs was beaten on a slant the previous play, but Spears knocked it down. So they had to be worried about that too.
The coverage wasn’t terrible. It was a really good throw. And lets remember ball is our 4th cb – usually jenkins would be on that guy
Sigh, fire a coach in mid season. Come on dude, get a clue.

For after this season. They went down a whole list and had RR on there. They had his weakness as his hair. That he would have to cut it in order to have a serious coaching position. How dumb is that!

"from the linebackers forward"???
Tell me how many times we sacked Rex?
How many times did we pressure him, make him move in the pocket so as to disrupt his throw?
Some but not nearly enough! Our D-line has spurts of getting pressure and then a lot of time where the qb has all day in the pocket!
And what happened to Dez in the 3rd and 4th quarter??? He did not dive for the ball, or fight for it. He looked sooooo passive about the game after he dinged his arm up (and even on that play he did not go for the ball)! Thank goodness he had the catch in overtime! I am starting to think someone needs to manage him.

Hmm... ST has been very good so far this year!
Ok before we start throwing people around the NFL we need to really take a look at this game… this was the Washington Redskins and I don’t care what anyone says this rivalry is one that seems to defy logic. So before we start condemning people or making light of accomplishments. This game is not a measuring stick of this team… The rivalry we have had with the Redskins has always been that way so take this one put it in your pocket and be thankful it was a win… then go get a beer and think we’re in 1st place in the EAST!!!! and the Gnats looked little better against the Feagles.

Fairweathers....
I came on here as opposed to the mothership site because of fairweather fans. Looks like they’re everywhere now.
How in the world can you say fire, fire, fire after one bad game by the ST? They’ve been outstanding all year until this game. Not every game is going to be a perfect or a blowout game.
I’m surprised you didn’t say “cut Murray for not running 392 yards”.
This team’s secondary is night and day from last year’s. They’re not always going to be perfect. I look more at blaming the lack of a pass rush. Same issue as last year. The pass rush was dialed down and that didn’t help the secondary.
This year’s #1 draft priority should be a Ware clone or find someone that can replace Ratliff on the line so he can go back to OLB….something of that nature.
This is a much more complete team than it was the past few years. There are a few key components still missing, but a true fan is not going to give up on this team whether they run the table the rest of the year or go belly up.
Agree
Coverage teams solid, return units abysmal. Suppose I would rather that than the converse.
Agree wholeheartedly several substantial holes remain on OL, DL, DB units just to start. Going to be tough to address in a single offseason, but we did so much more than I anticipated just this past one. As a result, we will continue to see up and down efforts form these units – some opponents are simply better than others at exploiting these weaknesses. Credit the Shanahans for repeatedly isolating A Ball, just the way teams used to with Jacques Reeves. Or the NE/PHL brain trusts on our LB’s.
I don't make mistakes...just understandable bad choices
Always improve
That’s the biggest difference between 2010 and 2011. We went sideways without making any real free agency or draft moves in 2010. Even though some 2011 moves were held with skepticism, they’re turning out to be good ones. Who would have though that Robinson, Fiametta, Coleman, and Elam would be so much better than Miller, Olshanky, and whoever was at safety last year. Exactly how forgettable that was!
Now, the OL will benefit from a REAL offseason and training camp. With Smith being as good as he is now, he’ll be even better when put on a regiment this offseason. Kosier is likely gone or will be a back up next year. Center is an issue, but it’s manageable with depth and an offseason. Dockery and Lumpy will be solid next year.
DL…just reiterating here. Absolutely need another great OLB or a NT.
DBs, touchy situation. Newman is getting old. There’s no doubt about it. But these guys are playing better than they were last season. Jenkins needs to stay healthy. Drafting a corner by the 2nd round will be likely unless a good option comes up in free agency.
This draft is going to be a doozy. We’re likely going to see a Rob Ryan draft. I don’t know how many straight up picks we have. We’ll definitely see a 5-2 or 4-3 defensively favored draft. In no particular order will we see OLB, DL, DB, and possibly a MLB drafted. Late round OL picks and maybe some kind of QB to groom over the next few years. Sorry, I simply don’t believe in McGee. If Bennett is on his way out, I wouldn’t doubt a TE.
There are holes to fill. I truly believe that every bit of it is manageable.
I'm going to take a Opposite Day approach
Here’s what we DON’T need:
WR, RB, TE, OT
Caveats – if Marty B, Felix are not resigned in FA. Neither has done anything to warrant a cap-busting deal, but that’s really the problem. Also Assumes Fiametta, Laurent are retained.
Starters that will need to be replaced:
OL – Kosier, Holland/Costa(1 of the 2)
DL – at least 1, preferably an NT that moves Rat to DE
LB – James(assume S Lee already in for Brooking)
DB – TNew
Caveat – both S retained? Unlikely. Spencer – TBD but Rob seems to like him
So that’s 5 Starters at a minimum after replacing 7 Starters this season? Tall. Order. Anyone saying DAL isn’t rebuilding isn’t paying attention
I don't make mistakes...just understandable bad choices
Felix isn't a FA until 2013
His 2012 salary is $1.17M plus about $700K in remaining signing bonus.
http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/4711/felix-jones
So, a little under $2M for a versatile RB that can still averages 4 ypc. You’re right, RB is definitely not a need position.

Soooo...that was unnecessarily close.
Cardiologists in the Metroplex are happy about this. I think that game took about thirty years off my life. My god. Heart’s still racing after that.
How about Romo?
Made the TD’s to Robinson and Witten (With great ad-libs as well from both of them) and the 3rd down pass to Dez in OT (With a great ad-lib from him). All incredible plays. Let’s not waste our time discussing his abilities in crunch time anymore. Also have to give props to Marty B. He had the false start, but the first down catch in OT was huge! Also Jesse Holley continues to make plays when Romo looks to him. He’ll never be a featured receiver, or even a 3rd receiver for that matter, but he’s been reliable when called on.
Dez makes a great play
but that is all on Romo, re-watch the play, he throws Dez a hand signal to change the route at the line

Fans should ask themselves the question...what's more important to this team? Being great at the pass or run?
It’s best to be good at both and be balanced, but can we really win a lot of games without Romo airing it out? I’ve had my moments being pissed at Romo’s mistakes, but the more I think about it, we need Romo to play exceptional to be a “contending” team…so all the recent talk about being a run first team just doesn’t hold water…
We need Romo to play hot to win, you're right. BUT he needs the running game to do that
I think everyone here who talks about the need of a running game wants it because it’s needed to buy him some time and open up the passing.
No one thinks this team is going far as a “Running Team” primarily.
Tony won this game flat out with his mobility, he made all those big plays happen by buying 2 more seconds.

He’s as good an athlete, if not better than MoJo Man Vick but doesn’t get the props he
deserves.
One announcer who has noticed is Phil Simms. Probably because he knows what QB is all about, and knows he could never produce some of Tony’s " I make it look easy" miracle throws
Missed some of the game.
Did we get out of the game healthy?

Dolphins have a LOT of ex-Cowboys who will be very motivated. And some coaches who know how to deal wiith the short week.
I see this game as an even matchup the way they are playing. And I never wanted to see Moore let go of, let’s hope our D doesn’t let him ‘Grossman’ us (my phrase for how Dallas can make average QB’s look incredible for one game!)

Ball is our outside cb right?
then he was going to be on Gaffney. I may be wrong, but I don’t think we use Ball in the slot that much.
he used to be the slot guy
now its primarily Scandrick, so Ball gets the outside and got toasted on a few key plays
his coverage was just awful, the one time I think it was Armstrong, had him beat and Grossman just over threw him and Ball was popping his mouth off like he made a play
it was really dumb because he got burnt

I don't get why Ball is even playing CB. Hasn't Walker passed him on the depth chart?
Even with Jenkins out, I’d rather see Newman/Scandrick?Walker, then an extra one of the young safeties before Ball gets on the field. He should be 4th CB and used only when necessary.

tough, hard fought game today.
It sure beats being 6-4 now,instead of 3-7 like at this point last year. This team is making progress.
Anyone else think this?
that maybe Murray is a lot faster at Cowboys Stadium because of the turf? It looked like he just couldn’t get up to speed or cut like he wanted to…and yes I know he had no fullback, but I still think it could’ve been a factor.
No I think it was the redskin D
they were stacking the line on almost every play. He had to stop and change direction a lot.

although I’ve never really been high on him. The whole secondary was bad though to be honest, and there was hardly any pressure in Grossman’s face. Alan Ball needs to go…for real

I saw a bit...don't know if it was the whole thing.
Nothing really newsworthy. Although Romo took a shot at Deion (I believe) when he was asked about media scrutiny. Said something to the effect that since Deion was never a QB, he wouldn’t understand how to deal with the scrutiny the position inherently receives.
I’m so happy Tony Romo is the QB of my our Dallas Cowboys.

Just got back from the game
and it was a classic. Lots of Cowboys fans in attendance, so many that it was hard to tell that Gano had missed his OT field goal because of the crazy cheering. Skins fans were loud, especially since we kept giving them the ball inside the 30 yard line, but I had to give major props to Tony Romo for keeping calm in the midst of the storm and making great plays, but not making stupid plays. Any win against Washington is going to be hard-earned and this was no exception, but we made the big plays when we needed to.

Another Bad Day For Romo
Am I the only on the planet that disagrees with Romo “having a productive day.”
After the atrocity of a game today, the postgame show announcers highlighted how well he played, being error free.
Romo once again escaped with his life. Too many poorly thrown balls, many of which should have been picked. He was lost out there all day. His receivers are making plays for him rather than the other way around.

there are always 2-3 passes a game that could be picked for all QBs
but he and his receivers clearly weren’t in sync early. Combined with some passes that went out of bounds (safe plays) you might have the impression he didn’t have a good game because that what you were looking for.
292 and 3 TDs including 4 of 6 HUGE 3rd down conversions in the second half (including 2 TDs)
IS A GREAT GAME.

You have to give some credit to the Redskins D
which has a very strong front line and put a lot of pressure on Romo all day. I love it when Romo takes sacks rather than throws jump balls.
I agree
But too many of his attempts were either incomplete, near misses, or receivers making great catches on substandard throws.
Only great catch I remember
was the one Bennett caught on a tipped ball. Other than that…all the other receptions were pretty good throws

There were a few
I recall him overthrowing an open Robinson up the sideline and throwing a pretty bad pass on a screen to Demarco, but some of it is him putting the ball in a place where either his guys gets it or nobody gets it. There were also times when he just threw balls into the dirt on purpose so he could live to fight another day. That stadium was really, really loud at points, though, so I’m not surprised at some miscommunications (he hit Robinson in the back on one throw). When he had a chance to sit back and and plant his feet in a clean pocket, he threw darts. That’s hard against a good pass rush like Orakpo and Kerrigan, though.
Give Grossman some credit, too. Except for the absurd throw that Scandrick picked, he played very well today.
i would also rather him take the sacks
but there were a couple of times where he should have gotten rid of the ball. A couple of the sacks were very Bledsoe like

an interesting point I've been tracking
In home games, we are at the LOS with 10 seconds left. Every time.
On the road, we’re struggling to get the plays off. Every game
I absolutely hate this (play clock being at 1 or 2 before every snap)
But I have to say, last year when Kitna was playing, I didn’t notice it near as much. Does Romo just take his sweet time looking over the defense? Whatever it is, it drives me nuts!!

The helmet radio gets cut off with 15 seconds left on the play clock.
So Romo has at least 15 seconds after he gets the play, or no play at all. I like Romo, but this is on him.

I know we didnt play a perfect game, but we were on the road against a division rival that somehow always manages to play us close

Because 2-6 teams that find ways to lose aren't measuring sticks for me.
I’m old enough to have seen the Cowboys win 5 Super Bowls and never lower their standards of play.
They weren’t ever “happy to get a win”.
They were only concerned about playing well.

One thing about the dynasty teams
They never beat themselves with mental errors. sometimes they didn’t execute well and sometimes teams were just better prepared or more talented. But never did they beat themselves.
They had no tolerance for it.

That was one game
…and I refer to that team as the one that brought down the empire.
:-)
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Those 92-95 teams made PLENTY of mental errors
Emmitt deciding to bat the ball out of the end zone in Washington and instead it’s a Redskin touchdown?? Leon Lett’s Thanksgiving blunder? Somehow losing to a Rams team at home that finished 6-10 in ‘92? And that’s not even getting into all the non-sense that went on in ’95.
Leon Lett was a walking blunder
But let’s be clear; I’m referring to pre-snap penalties, getting the play calls in on time, knowing your assignment/route/coverage.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Well those type of things
Usually don’t happen when you have four hall of famers offense and a slew of great players on D. Let’s watch this team make the the playoffs first, THEN win one superbowl, before we even think about beginning to judge them against dynasty teams.
Even in the early stages of the Landry and Jimmy eras, the tolerance level for those things was zero
If you don’t nip it, you become the Raiders.

Cry 'Havoc!'
Sorry Blings... just a note
Rivalry with the Redskins is goes beyond those expectations…
I’ve been a Cowboys fan since they first played in the Cotton Bowl… I have watched all of the Dynasty years of the Cowboys never missing a game… so to say that one of those teams never had a game or period of time where we did not play up to expectations is “a load” We lost to a St. Louis Cardinal team we should have waxed the field with and then to an Arizona Cardinal team too… We lost twice to the Redskins in the 12-4 Superbowl season with Aikman at the helm and the Skins were 4-12 that season. There are many times that I can pick out that we lost games bad we should have won in blowouts. I remember a game when the Chargers came in and Staubach was QB when they complete whooped the living crap out of us and I’m not talking about a Chargers team that was actually good but… Those games were not the norm but they were also not the exception…. seemed like if you look back you will find one or two games during a season that defied logic. JMHO Grats on the victory… always keep a positive outlook and remember when you think you can you can but when everyone tells you that you can’t sooner or later you start believing them and you won’t!

This is what Romo has been saying for years now… It comes down to who makes the plays in the game.
lol. true.
I just don’t like looking at wins like this. I mean, we won. IF this or IF that could change the outcome of the game either way. Regardless of what happened, whatever we did was good enough to be the team we were playing today.
In losses, I can almost understand this line of thinking, as you want to be able to build on and fix mistakes for the purpose of helping you win in the future.
I’d understand coaches using this line of thinking in wins. They have to coach.
But fans should be happy with the W, imo.

When he took the points instead of going for it… anytime you take points off the board it’s not smart. They kicked that I think from the 40 or something like that and there was not guarantee that they would get another shot.

my problem with this
look at 2005 Steelers, 2006 Colts, 2008 Giants, 2010 Packers – they ALL had games like this. Most of those teams barely made the playoffs. This isn’t the old NFL where a team dominates through the whole year. For the team holding the trophy in January, there has been growing pains.
I agree we are not playing well enough RIGHT NOW. But winning this game allows us to keep moving forward.
The Ryan defense is a fail.
It isn’t working. Dallas make Rex look like an all pro. Rushing 3 guys ? Really ? It’s a gimmick d. Our 3-4 just doesn’t have that killer instinct.

while I agree
the only team thats been consistently impressive this year is the Packers (ok, maybe the 49ers too). Your statement applies to most of the NFL.
And another point – we played well offensively and defensively for most of the game. ST were a total mess, but that was offset by two missed Gano fgs.
If Washington doesn’t go 89 yards at the end, and we win by 7, I would absolutely be happy with a hard fought win. Instead, there a bunch of lingering questions, but at least we survived and the season is not over.

Pluses and Minuses
There is a good and bad to both defensive schemes the 3-4 defense is better against the pass and the 4-3 better against the rush mainly because you have 4 guys on the line sometimes 5 plugging holes and then linebackers shooting the gaps on runs… also you need the personal to run the 4-3 and we don’t have them really. The bigger lineman take away from your speed getting to the edges and in today’s game that’s an important factor. You absolutely have to have a great MLB in a 4-3 and your OLB need to be as good. Lee is good enough Ware also but one side of the field would be left weak with our current players.

If they get there most plays, it disrupts the other team’s offense.
But when an OL is picking it up, like Wash. was today (and Ware disappearred for 3 quarters) then it’s pretty easy to pass against. That’s my feeling.
Like when a team blitzes Romo, if it gets picked up, I love it-I’m saying “Someone’s open……!” you know?

I remarked on the twitter acct but didn’t have it in this recap… the FB pass that Scandrick whiffed on the tackle was just disgusting. There was no one anywhere near him and then Scandrick slipped and gave him another 15.
Paulsen, the backup tight end leaked out in OT and I thought for sure that was the game losing coverage.

I think Romo played a good game
Early on Robinson and he were just not in sync at all. I’ll have to blame Robinson more because it looked like he expected him to be places he wasnt. He also dropped that ball more than once
I'm not convinced Romo tried calling a TO
there was no reason for Dallas to do so when they are kicking. I think he was using the motion to say that Washington had just called one. In fact that’s what his body language said as well. He wasn’t jumping up and finding a ref. We’ll hear more, but I don’t think he was trying to call a time out.

I’m not sure. I’m only going off what I briefly saw, which was that he didn’t have the look of someone trying to call the TO and immediately pointed at the Skins. It’ll be asked about this week.

Hope so. If only to clear it up, fan-wise.
Though, after-the-fact, given an out, most take it, to my experience. Then again, I’m a cynical old bastard.
Cry 'Havoc!'
whether you're right or not
we didn’t look ready, and there is no freakin reason for Romo to do that.
Regardless of what went through his head, we are lucky the refs did not see him and give us a penalty.
There was plenty of reason: the play clock was about to expire.
I don’t see it that way. Romo just lost track of how many TO’s we had left. Romo went from having his head down, to looking at the play clock, to holding up the universal “timeout” hand signal. I don’t think it’s customary for the place holder to be looking at the opposition’s sideline.

People are making too big of a deal out of this
We were kicking on 3rd down. Sure, it would’ve been somewhat boneheaded and cost us 5 yards, but we would have probably lined up and run a play, gained a few yards, then kicked it anyway.
I was not so happy burning the time out to “ice” the kicker. I had a feeling we’d need one (if he missed) cause we let the frickin play clock run down every play, and would get our butts in a crack. And it happened. Since we burned one “icing” the kicker, we had no more left. On the post game, I heard that the kick would not have been good from 5 yards further. Ok. But I highly doubt we still kick on 3rd down from 5 yards further back. It doesn’t matter. The kick was good, and it was a Dallas Cowboys victory. End of story.

more than 30 attempts is always bad news… but somehow he keeps it together and since Detroit has looked like an elite QB. That words gets overused but even Brees throws a lot of INTs at times but Romo is now what 19-7 on TDs-INTs? Not bad… hasn’t thrown an INT since Philly

Thought you were way to hard on the Boys, KD
Romo was not sharp today, but got the job done. Special teams and tackling was a problem. Unlike last week.
But their determination and resilience were palpable. IMO, a great win that will take them a long way. Go Philly.

I can take solace from improvement, but I saw little of it today.
I won’t compromise. I hope they don’t either.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
There is a difference between uncompromising and unrealistic...
What I saw was some sloppy play but they still pulled out a win. That is what counts. And trust me, not every throw from Troy Aikman was a touchdown.

Did they pull one out as much as they were "given one"?

It's not the score
It’s not the outcome either.
As you’ll recall after the Pats game, I’ve been (and remain) resolute in my belief that playing well transcends any game and its result.
They’ve played well at times. Tonight, they did not. For that, I lament.

If you play well, consistently
…which is this team’s achilles heel, you win more games…and then you get better…and then you win playoff games….and then…
Isn’t that what JG is preaching?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Yes
But playing well, yet not winning, doesn’t get you even a chance to win playoff games…cause you’re not there.
Look, I get what you’re saying. You want to see the team play well and improve, and I totally agree, but not at the expense of not winning the game. I was impressed with the way we played at New England too, but I’d take playing like crap and beating an awful team 3-2 every time.
And in response yo your point above (beating Chicago without Cutler), that makes no difference to me whatsoever. A win in the NFL is a win. Do teams get some sort of extra credit for beating the Cowboys if Ware, Romo, Miles, etc are out? Nope. And we still get a loss, and they all count the same.

It's just predictive of what happens when you play a good team
It’s reasonable to think if you consistently play poorly against lesser teams, you’ll get blown out by good ones.

No, it's dramatically better.
I can tell. We are getting more turnovers and they do cause some confusion. Sometimes RR has had some head scratchers for game plans, but overall, we are much better.

In the end, that may be what kept us in the game.

I think I've been clear...typed it up here a few times...in English (the Americanized version so you can understand)
How else would you like me to lay out exactly what I was looking for?
My guess is you won’t have any good way to answer that, so let’s call that your Get Out of Jail Free Card that you just used.
Now, let’s focus on you for a moment. You seem to be ecstatic about the win. What would you have blamed the loss on if Gano hit the FG in OT?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I don't see why you're so against looking at this through a lens that isn't rose-colored
I found a lot of good in the Pats game to build upon. Why can’t this be viewed differently?
Are you so conditioned to see things only against a context of the destination with no regard for the journey?
Is it “we won, so you’re taking your crayons and going home to mommy before anyone says you did some things that weren’t perfect”?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Nothing about this game was perfect
I never once said it was. But you are constantly bringing up these “If” scenarios which hold no weight. You know why? BECAUSE IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. I can’t say who I would blame the loss on, BECAUSE IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. What if they block the Gano kick but get an offsides penalty and then the Redskins decide to run a fake and score a touchdown on it. Who would you blame the loss on? That’s a good ‘If’ question, right?!?!? And you want to compare this team to Jimmy’s teams or Landry’s teams, NEWSFLASH: Those two are gone, those era’s are over. Move on. Let’s appreciate this team and see what THEY can do. This wasn’t the greatest played game ever, but they pulled out the win when they had to. Let’s not act like they just lost a playoff game.
Sooooooooooooo
you gonna answer the question or just avoid it?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
well .....no rose glasses on here ......lol.....
to me im glad they won, but im not impressed at all. the o-line couldnt run block to save its tushie, numerous sacks , Romo or o-line?, high passes , behind passes , low passes, bad coverage in 2ndary, special teams coverage suuuuckerd !……. but again im just happy we did win .

Id say RIP Al Davis, but i know your up there drunker than a monkey and clocking angels in the 40 yd dash.
I think Romo played well
The O-line faced a good pass rush with Kerrigan and Co. They’re not talented up front enough to contend with those kinds of lines as we saw when we went up against Trent Cole and Juqua Parker.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Wait, isn't that what you do? All you care about is that sixth ring, and
stats are irrelevant, right? Or you want style points, is that it?
And, my friend, you have amnesia if you think every game played from 1991-1996 was flawless.
Yes, and as I've said, when appropriate, enjoy the journey
All I am looking for is improvement. In a lot of ways, the TEAM regressed while Romo took another step forward.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Other than Bailey, STs were awful. Shanahan had a pretty good
game plan on offense, but the lack of pass rush is hurting.
BTW, I'll ask the same question to you that I asked the other guy
What would you blame the loss on?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
i would say sp teams and safety's

ST, secondary and the lack of pass rush
Offensively, we were pretty solid, but points were left on the field because of the Romo-LRob misconnection.
Very astute foyes
This secondary cannot be made to cover for 4 seconds or more. They will get roasted every time.
BTW, I think Newman is done. He can’t make a hard cut anymore. Must be all of the groin pulls.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
he played well the last few weeks
I wish Jenkins could stay healthy.
Newman and Scandrick are on an off. We could use a more consistent presence for sure. CB is need #1 or 2 this offseason. Interior OL is probably 1, as Costa is not worthy of starting in the NFL.
I don’t know about the DL. They actually made some decent plays today. I think part of the problem was Trent Williams is a man. That guys done a number on Ware this year Hes stonewalled him the first 3 quarters of each game
Blame what loss on?
We won the game. 80% of NFL games are decided by 4 points or less. Bad teams beat good teams all the time too. Dallas 27 – Washington 24. That’s all that matters. A win in an NFL game, against a division rival, on the road. Period. Would you have fathered us play a mistake-free game and lose? I bet not.
Herm Edwards…“You play to win the game”. Nothing else matters in this league. That’s why it so great to be a passionate fan of an NFL team, and not a college team. Style points mean squat. Who you beat means nothing. Power ratings and rankings mean nothing. All that matters are Ws and Ls, and we got a W today.

you said you felt all warm and fuzzy after the New England game. That was a loss. And you are not so happy after this game, which was a win. I’ll take wins and a playoff berth over feeling good about the team, and sitting home for the postseason every time. I guess that’s where we differ.

If Dallas could consistently play pass defense the way they did against NE, yesterday is a completely different story
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
A win cannot be any different than any other win.
The NFL puts a “1” in the win column of all of them.
"I'm huunngray. I want some f**ken french tooast!"
Except that yesterday, they had the exact same
result on defense at the end that they did against the Pats. The D gave up a long touchdown drive after the O had given the team the lead. Fortunately, the outcome of the game was different.
Because a crappy team could not do what a good team did
The outcome was different largely because of the quality of the opponent.

Missed the game, travelling(again)
But it seems as if this debate boils down to – would you rather win ugly or lose nobly? I’d generally favor the former and even cite examples from glory days that seem to be the basis of Blings’ consternation over our current DCboy iteration.
Agree the trend line is positive for this season on several levels. Further contend this team does not have the sufficient talent to compete at the elite level(we simply are NOT getting past GB or NOLA in the playoffs). Where I believe we differ is taking this game in isolation as a reversal of a heretofore positive trend. I see 6-4 as a precise 100% improvement over 3-7. Understanding W-L’s are the notorious ‘volume stat’, but in the end, it is the most critical – all else is a means to that end.
All that said, DAL was extremely fortunate to come away with a W. Now, with the short-week, the 18 Hr rulein effect, I will move my concerns onto a suddenly resurgent Dallas Cowboys South squad.
I don't make mistakes...just understandable bad choices
The problem is that people get so high on razor's edge wins against non-competitive teams and then see their emotional well-being crater when we lose one of those games
The team, to your point, should be getting better each week if it wants to EVER contend.
It’s not and that is my main lamentation.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I agree with you
In that I would like to see marked improvement each week. But in today’s NFL, there are no teams (maybe Green Bay) that are anywhere near like the past dynasties. Teams aren’t going to blow out every bad to mediocre, beat every good team, and split with the other couple of great teams, like we want to remember being the case with our team in the 90s. Same can be said for the other dynasties as well (Pittsburgh, San Fran, NE). The reality is that those teams sometimes didn’t play well, but were able to win against inferior comeptition, and sometimes they even lost to bad teams.
Nowadays, teams like New Orleans lose to the Rams, Giants to Seattle, New England to Buffalo, etc. Our team is not great, but have the pieces to be pretty good, and the ability to get hot and make a Packers-like run. Washington is terrible at this point. We didn’t play well, but won the game, and I for one, am happy with the outcome, and hope to see some of the issues rectified Thursday against Miami in a dominant win. But I sure as hell won’t be upset with a 7-3 win either. Remember, the Rams beat the Saints the week after we made the Rams look like a high school JV team. I certainly don’t want anything like that to happen to us.

But even in those losses
the good teams lose not because they couldn’t get the play in on time or because they have no idea what route to run. They lose because they get out played.
THAT is supposed to happen in Pete Rozell’s NFL.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I don't know
if you watched that NO-St. Louis game, but that was all about missed blocking assignments for the Saints. Brees got killed all day. Kinda similar to running incorrect routes, no? And also, terrible tackling by the Saints. I guess that could be referred to as being outplayed though.
And I completely agree with you about plays getting in on time, and would also add Tony standing around while 10 seconds runs off before snapping the ball. He gets some of the blame, because with Kitna playing last year, it wasn’t an issue
by sportsfanatic21 on Nov 22, 2011 10:20 AM CST up reply actions
I watched
…and I think it had more to do with being outhustled than anything else.
There’s also this thing about matchups that seldom comes up but is readily apparent when you watch teams play.
Sometimes, a lesser team has the right strengths (however few they might be) to attack a better team’s weaknesses (however few THEY may be).
And sometimes, it just comes down to who plays harder. Upsets happen. Good teams ensure they are anomalies.
Bad performances happen too. Good teams make sure they are anomalies as well.
Is Dallas’ performance against Washington an anomaly? I think not because these same problems have plagued the Cowboys for a while now.

Some bad stuff happened, but Romo played well, the Redskins were dead set against stopping Demarco Murray, which is a good thing because now we know that D-coordinators are thinking about him. Romo and the receivers seemed a bit off at times, but that won’t last forever. Now Garrett needs to adjust for when teams are dead set against stopping the run.
Yeah before everyone was trying to take away the pass. Now they try to take away Murray and the passing game works the way we hoped.

2 TDs leading the Titans back, looking good. What a great QB class we had this year
During the broadcast Moose kept saying
Romo and Robinson were not on the same page. I was streaming the game and it froze a lot, but it seemed to me that Romo just flat out missed him. There was the one pass in the first 1/4 where Robinson did the double move to the post and the throw was behind him, LB had not reached behind him and tipped the ball it may have been intercepted. There was also that play where Robinson has beaten his defender by at least 3 yards down the sideline and Romo over through him. To me on my small freezing screen it seemed as though Romo was off today and most of his throws went to Robinson.

I will repost...
… a blind QB evaluation in which the voting BtB members selected Rivers as the QB to replace Romo. Including one who immediately following the SB flipped to Rodgers-love, a player who, like Brady, garnered diddly for support.
That said, the Bolts, top to bottom, are having one helluva brutal season as a team.
How soon we forget…
Cry 'Havoc!'
I think you give him way way too much credit
Romo’s played reasonably well despite a constantly revolving wr core.
Imo, nearly any criticism of Romo should be applied to Rivers too.
Rivers has had a lesser cast than Romo
And Romo has a history of throwing untimely bad passes. This year, Rivers is playing in a way we have not witnessed heretofore.
So no, factually speaking, they’re not in the same conversation that you’d like to put them in.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Lesser cast by whos standard?
Rivers has had better coaching, Defense and OL, better RB and comparable WRs and a great TE. Oh and a great Kicker.. and a layup division.. so what part of Rivers cast is lesser?

NFL Record for Pro Bowlers set by the ___________
I don’t know how to rate the casts except to look at Pro Bowls (granted, it is imperfect and popularity plays a role), but if you look at that list, you’d have to agree the Chargers haven’t had the same level of elite talent that Dallas has drafted/bought over their two careers.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
thats ignoring the fact
that the qbs impact how many pro bowlers are on their roster….
Not to mention the truly ridiculous number of cowboy fans that impact pro bowl voting.
Tell me how you want to rate the casts objectively
You choose the way. Otherwise, it’s about opining.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
It's the standard excuse
you don’t have any evidence so you use subjective terms like “untimely” and “lesser cast” that can be argued but not disproved.
Don't believe everything you think.
What's your evidence?
10 games that supposedly outweigh the previous 50-60?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
No, I actually think Rivers is great and this is an anomaly
but I also think Romo is very much in the same league as Rivers. The silly “untimely” turnovers comments are analytically useless. Romo over the past several years has had a poor o-line and running game that Rivers did not. all-in-all they are similarly talented QBs.
Don't believe everything you think.
Facts is facts
You may disagree about how they are interpreted, but that’s a personal choice by a true blue fan.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I think Romo's numbers stack up with almost anyone in the league
it’s how people interpret them that seems to matter.
Don't believe everything you think.
Yes and no
As I’ve shown previously, his VOLUME stats are behind people like Eli and Rivers by a considerable margin.
His performance stats (i.e. QB rating) are on par.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Total yards, TD's, wins
The things that QB’s without Blings use to make a case for the HOF.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I forgot about the division
thats a worthy point as well – Rivers plays 6 games a year against teams that are a joke. Romo doesn’t.
say what you want
Gates (when on the field) and Jackson are a solid duo. His rbs are better than Romos have been the last few years.
Are we going to forget what Romo won games earlier this year with an unreliable Dez and Laurent Robinson off the street as his best wrs??
Personally, I’m no expert as I haven’t seen too many Chargers games (probably about 3 a year), but I feel like Rivers relies heavily on his wrs height and abilities. He throws so many balls up for grabs every game I’ve seen.
I'm not looking at this in a 9 or 10 game context
It would be silly to do so.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
oh ok
thats a little more understandable then. I will admit you probably have much more to go off on when evaluating Rivers. I see 3 of his nationally televised games a year, which tend to be the toughest.
I hate them
I flew to Dallas with friends to see them play and it was a complete meltdown. Dallas couldn’t get anything going.

I watch rivers more than I care to and he’s having an off year to be sure. But over the entire span of games played, Rivers is still well ahead of Romo in terms of performance on all levels.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Well who am I to argue with that?
It’s like blogging with Clarence Darrow (google it).
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
You've misuses this word before, so let me correct you once and for all
Rivers has a sternum issue that he’s playing through and he’s made 84 straight starts. That string speaks to his toughness and durability.
Apologists, when asked about Romo’s durability, would say things like “you can’t throw with a bad pinkie!!!” or “that hit by Boley was far worse than it looked”.
Meanwhile, Rivers plays a playoff game with a sprained MCL.
I suggest you not use that word again until you fully understand the meaning and proper use.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I assure you, I know the meaning, and you're apologizing all over this
post for Rivers. His cast isn’t as good, he’s not feeling good, blah, blah, blah. As usual, you can’t counter what I say without pulling out “you’re too stupid to know what you’re saying” card.
I think Rivers is a douche, but I don’t doubt his physical gifts. But given that all you care about are rings, it amuses me how quick you are to defend a guy who has had the pleasure over the years of throwing to tall, strong receivers, who had LT behind him, and who has had the benefit of a pretty good D. And who has no ring to show for all of that.
Well, I suggest you not let your idea of the person color what you know about the performance
Nixon could be called a bad person with lots of supporting evidence, but he was also a prolific president, especially in the arena of foreign policy.
I think Rivers is a great QB and it’s obvious 2011 is a down year for him, but he (and I doubt you would argue this) was widely considered one of the top 5 QB’s in the league by all of the guys on TV who get paid to say who they think the top 5 QB’s are.
Romo’s just not in that conversation.
I hope he can be…soon.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
We'll have to agree to disagree. Again, Rivers is gifted. He's had
a damned good supporting cast. And he and his team, and I emphasize the word TEAM, have not taken it to the house.
Reasoning
Tony is not in the conversation because of a fumble made in his first playoff game… which has labeled him ever since. I’m sorry I listen to this crap about Romo not being as good as some of these other so called great QB’s … He’s not as good as Vick, Rivers, Ryan, Eli…. and that’s just a load of crap. I wouldn’t take any of them over Romo. I think Romo has made his share of mistakes don’t get me wrong… I have been pissed at him as much as anyone for pulling some dumb move. I think that he has improved quite a bit from his first two years and he’s on par with his 09 season. I think that Rivers is a great QB but I don’t think he’s better then Tony… sorry. If you are looking at the body of work… then here it is?
Over their Careers… body of work!!!
Tony Romo 99 games 2416 att. 1549 comp. 64% 19,450 yds
8.1 YPA 137 TDs 69 INTS 96.1 passer rating
Philip Rivers 94 games 2838 att. 1801 comp. 63.5% 22,684 yds
8.0 YPA 151 TDs 75 INT 95 passer rating.
I think if you look at the body of work you will find they are very comparable… in fact almost identical.

So again, you've made my point for me
Romo is 31 and his athletic peak has been passed.
Guys like Eli, Rivers and others will be around longer and end up more prolific and that will keep Tony out of the conversation for being one of the league’s best and worthy of HOF consideration.
Fair or not, because Romo will soon be 32, he needs a bling before people will think differently.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
LOL ... I beg to differ
You said the body of work of QB’s like Eli and Rivers were much better then that of Romo’s which is statistically wrong!!! Simple stats prove it. Now as far as winning a Superbowl yea that would be a great thing but just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen! Rivers hasn’t won one either… nor has Ryan and Eli well he lucked into his but I’m not going to start on Eli… People seem to automatically downgrade Tony… if he had these stats and was playing for Atlanta right now he would be hailed as the next coming of Christ but since he’s the Cowboy’s QB he has to be elite or he’s just another lame QB!
RexP
By the way
Eli is 30 and Rivers is 29 … soon to be 30
Eli’s stats
115 games 3687 att. 2152 comp. 58.4% 25,598 YDS
174 tds vs 122 Ints 6.9 ypa and a passer rating of what???? 81.6
Am I still making your point … he has a bling so that makes him better… Teams win Championships not QBs
RexP
Oh let's not do this again
If you don’t understand the value of a bling in terms of how QB’s are remembered, I doubt I’m the guy with enough patience to help you.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Season
Eli and Tony have the same win-loss record at 6-4
So statistically Eli should be far ahead of Tony in Yardage and TD’s
Hmmmm let’s compare
Eli…. 18TDs 9INTs and a 94.7 passer rating 2952 yds more attempts also
Tony 19TDs 7 INTs and a 99.4 passer rating with 2900 yds
I know you don’t want me to add Rivers into the equation
RexP
To End
I want Tony as much as anyone to win us another Trophy but to say that he is not as gifted as Rivers or Eli would be wrong… to say that Tony will not play another 5 years is not totally out of the question either. Tony sat on the bench for his first 4 years so not as much wear and tear as does Eli. I don’t look at Tony and go wow he’s old, to me he doesn’t look much different from the Tony that took over when Bledsoe went down… I am talking Physically. If Tony doesn’t suffer major head trama over the next 5 years I don’t see any reason he can’t play through his contract at a high level.
RexP
I don't know what "gifted" is
Luckily, I don’t care either. Neither do people’s memories.
That’s why the greatest QB’s ever to play this game have one of two things; blings or overwhelming volume stats relative to their peers.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
And I never said, nor would I, the things you put in quotes
If I thought you were stupid, why would I spend my time with you?
I find our disagreements about the team we love fun and sometimes even enlightening.
So chill a bit?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Sorry, I find it insulting when someone tells me I don't know the
meaning of a word (unless I really don’t know the meaning of a word—it happens). I assure you, I’m quite literate.
Then you should know my statements about Rivers don't fit the bill
Fair?
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Nope, like I said, we don't agree. Or let's try this. When I choose
to EXPLAIN why I think Romo might be having trouble, say, the lack of a running game or broken ribs or not support from the D, then I’m not an apologist, right?
I think on a case-by-case basis
..we can continue that discussion.
For instance, I don’t think a running game keeps Romo from throwing at Revis in the Jets game in that situation. So, if you were to use the lack of a running game to account for bad decision making like that, I’d argue.
If you said a poor running game contributed to down and distance scenarios that forced Romo to throw against a team with a great pass rush? I’m in your camp.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I take that back
There are a small handful of people I might say that too.
You’re not one of them.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Another win for the kid.
If I hadn’t picked Buffalo, I’d still be perfect.

We're here to win football games. The way to do that is to tell him and to get on him at the right times. I do that when you guys (media) don't see and watch.''
What else makes a strong leader?
"You win,'' Romo said. "You're a very good leader once you win.
"That's' what we're going to do.''
naw, we don't need him for the next two D.
This was the best D wie will see til the Giants, no need to rush him. We need him for december not thanksgiving.

Id say RIP Al Davis, but i know your up there drunker than a monkey and clocking angels in the 40 yd dash.
Anybody who 'doubts' Romo is a clown
Romo is absolutely playing out of his mind. He is as good as a QB can possibly be over the last 5 weeks. UFB there are people who think they can improve on this position for the cowboys.
The QB position is NOT even CLOSE to being a problem. In fact besides Rogers nobody is playing better. Why don’t these haters take a look around the league. Romo is like the 4th highest rated passer of all time and this is his best year EVER and not only that he is IMPROVING his play.
There is not a single QB I would want over Romo right now. Unreal he does not get the praise he deserves. They guy is truly great.
well...
I’d argue that Rodgers is still miles ahead of the rest of the league, but I don’t want to take away from your point, which is a good one. Overall, Romo’s been playing at a top 5-7 level over the last month.
But will it continue when the defenses get tougher?
The Cowboys won
but it seemed more like the Redskins snatched defeat from the jaws of victory..
But, I’ll take it.
"He has a peculiar felicity of expression." John Adams
Wow my heart finally slowed down, and I gotta say...
What a win, at first it felt like a Wade game. It’s okay to say so, it felt like one of those days where they were going to lose to a worse team, and the Redskins to make things worse. Then the second half happened and I felt pretty good…then the Redskins scored to take it into OT. They completed that deep pass so I got up and figured I better get some work done than watch this garbage, then when I just start the car I just got a text from my mom saying Washington missed…I was shocked. Went back inside and watched the game. I lulled when Shanny called that idiot timeout to give Dallas a good chance at the win and my heart almost stopped until I saw “IT’S GOOD!!!” They got lucky today, no two ways about it. Guess what though, WHO CARES!!!!!!!!!! A win’s a win and you gotta take them any way you can get em. Sure I’d love to win every game like Buffalo last week, but being 6-4 is pretty nice. They got boned by boneheaded playcalling or stupid plays against New England, the Jets, and the Lions…so I figured the football gods owed them one this week. Unreal.
At any rate, it’s a short week and they gotta be ready to bring it against Miami on Thursday. The Fish blew out the Bills today so they’re no joke…they may not be very good, but the Boys better bring their A game if they want to win.
So it's just a "for now" thing?
I really don’t want the starting QB holding FGs and PATs for much longer.
Yeah I believe so. McBriar was doing it previous seasons and the beginning of this season.
When he gets completely healthy he’ll probably be holding
by Portland's Cowboy fan on Nov 20, 2011 7:12 PM CST up reply actions
?????
So McBriar is ok to punt but not hold for the field goal??? Is his injury preventing him from kneeling down or do you think they might have an ulterior motive.

He was referring to when they played OTHER good teams
He also said, “when you play a bad team, you can’t let them hang around”.

Last year, this team loses this game. I assume good fortune regresses to the
mean, too? FITaT? Seems to me it evens out after a while, and there have been long stretches where not much has gone our way. How many missed field goals have lost us games over the last couple of years? I think it’s awesome that it went the other way, for a change. The fact that the Cowboys could play a less than stellar game and still win means a lot.
That said, ST and D were concerning today. The O wasn’t as crisp as they have been, but they still pulled it out and were playing a good D that deserves credit, too. It always amuses me when some folks act like there was no other team out there playing against us and refuse to acknowledge that they (the other team) might have played well, too.
Rumors of a 52-3 blowout were greatly exaggerated
I think people underestimate Jim Haslett. I don’t think Dallas has ever blown out a Haslett defense.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I'm excited the Cowboys scored 27 on them. I thought I read somewhere that Romo
had not thrown more than one TD against that D since 2006.
they'd done a number on our offense the last few years
27 and no turnovers is impressive, definitely.
I never expect a blow out against a division rival like Washington.
The Redskins could be 0-15 and the Cowboys 15-0 and I would still expect a hard-fought, close game.

man i wonder how the game threads went, i nearly had a heart attack today
Offense:
1. Was frenchie running Miles routes? and Dez running his normal #2 routes? because the chemistry was completely gone today
2. Phillips cant get good leverage like Fiametta
3. Costa and Kosier whiffed on numerous blocks. Kosier whiffed on almost all his pulls/downfield blocks. Watch it on NFL replay, they both also have one play where they get destroyed, Costa on the goalline i think just gets decked as soon as he snaps it, Kosier gets killed during stephen bowens sack and is grabbing the d-lineman ankles from his back
4. good ball control though. Marty B was wide open on bowens sack and romo looked him off and took the sack, lol, then he makes that 1-hander?
5. Need quicker tempo, isnt that the point of a light o-line?
Defense:
1. Does anyone know how to lineup?
2. Front 7 plays like team is built for coverage sacks, secondary plays like they have a monstrous front 4 that can beat 5 or 6 every play. Pass D needs serious adjustments in scheme
3. Another TD drive in the last 5 minutes, now i’m worried
4. why is Keith Brooking sent on blitzes?
Special Teams:
1. Bailey a beast
2. McBriar better not shank another one
3. Joe D where is the speed on your squads? Brandon Banks had a career day out there

Regarding Special Teams #2,
What do you mean? That’s the first time in a long time that I can remember McBriar shanking one. He booted the others, but unfortunately, the coverage team did not stay in their lanes well. Do you think Chris Jones is a better option than McBriar?

now i'm saying i know its rare but its just more of that once-in-season fluke like the blocked punt week 1
its just that play nearly wrecked the game at that point.

Ah, but these two "flukes" seem to be the fault of two completely different individuals.
If I remember correctly, it was Alex Albright missing a block that led to the blocked punt. Not much McBriar can do about that. And every punter is bound to shank one every now and then. It is a VERY rare occasion when McBriar does that though, and even this shank might be due to his current injury.
