Cowboys Overcome Themselves, Rally To Defeat Dolphins 20-19 On Last Second Field Goal

PrintThe Dallas Cowboys escaped their Thanksgiving Day contest without becoming the turkey dinner, riding the routes of Laurent Robinson and the leg of Dan Bailey to a 20-19 last-second win. The now 3-8 Miami Dolphins gave the Cowboys everything they could handle and more. Miami marched up and down the field several times, embarassing the Cowboys cornerbacks on multiple occasions. The Dallas defense stiffened when it needed to however, holding the Dolphins to a three and out and giving the offense one last chance to earn a victory.
The game-winning drive started out with a nice return from Dez Bryant, who was still strapping on his helmet when he was retreating to field the punt. 20 yards later, Dallas was in decent field position with three minutes remaining. Quarterback Tony Romo connected with Jason Witten on two consecutive catches, the first came from his now patented spinout from the pocket. Dallas then turned the show over to DeMarco Murray, who received five straight touches to drive the Cowboys down close. Up the gut for six and a first down. Left side for 9 then back up the middle for three and another first. Right tackle for for and again to the right for 5 and Dallas was easily inside the Miami 10.
It can't be stated enough how beautiful it was for Dallas to be able to play it safe and still conduct a game-winning drive.
Dallas ran the clock down to four seconds, and then brought on Dan "Split'Em" Bailey to kick his third game-winning field goal of his rookie season. The make was his 26th consecutive, third best streak in team history and currently the longest active run in the NFL.
More...
Dallas had to overcome a disappointing performance from their secondary and offensive line; as penalties and miscues marked the first three quarters of the game. Romo himself threw two first half interceptions, and the only reason Dallas led 10-6 at halftime was due to Miami's own mistakes. A bad snap deep in their own territory was gobbled up by DeMarcus Ware at the Miami 5-yard line. Romo would find Laurent Robinson for his first of two scores on the very next play.
The defense allowed Miami to quickly drive down the field with less than a minute on the clock to score a late field goal. The second half was more frustration, as Miami opened it off with a seven minute drive that resulted in another field goal and closed the game to 10-9. On their next possession, Alan Ball and Terence Newman were embarrassed by Miami receivers, with Brandon Marshall catching a 35-yard lob pass with Terence Newman looking like a 1980's hip-hop chain, draped around his neck.
The Dallas offense responded as Romo and Robinson connected three times, including an 18 yard touchdown in the back of the end zone when Romo pulled his Houdini act, once again escaping pressure. Robinson further proved what a tremendous in-season acquisition he has been, catching his fourth and fifth touchdowns in the last three games. That brings his season total to seven in just nine games. Robinson started his route from the right side, and as Romo manuveured worked his way open in the back corner on the opposite side of the field.
The defense couldn't hold the lead however, allowing the Dolphins to drive down to the Dallas 5 before stalling and kicking the go-ahead field goal for a 19-17 lead. The drive should have been stopped at the Miami 32 as the Cowboys gang-sacked Matt Moore, but a defensive holding call on Abe Elam kept the drive going.
The Cowboys refused to go down on this day though, summoning intestinal fortitude from somewhere and finally kept Miami from abusing their secondary. The three and out led to Romo's second signature drive of the game, and as usual, Dan Bailey was on the money with a crucial kick.
FINAL STATS
Tony Romo: 22/34 226 yards 2 TDs 2 INTs
DeMarco Murray: 22 carries for 87 yards, 4 receptions for 41 yards
Laurent Robinson: 7 receptions 79 yards, 2 TDs
Anthony Spencer: 8 tackles, 3 tackles-for-loss
Sacks: Scandrick, Lee, Coleman, Butler
It wasn't pretty, it was a frustrating day of football, but in the end the Cowboys escaped victorious and now sit atop the NFC East with a 7-4 record. The team has 10 days to prepare for the Arizona Cardinals and hopefully the return of Miles Austin and Mike Jenkins.

Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass. Tony proceeds to run like hell and look for Witten

A lot of penalties
I thought I counted 3 false starts on Free.
But a win is a win.
Romo escaped what looked like a sure sack 3 or 4 times.
I’d like to see Carter get more playing time
Somethings to ponder
Why so many false starts?
Alan ball can not play on the outside.
Why wasn’t Ware on Columbo all day?
Overall our D came through in the redzone but man. I don’t know where to start on the offense, is Dez really doubled every play?

Pre-snap penalties at home are unacceptable
We need Jenkins back, and probably should get a corner in rounds 1-2. The offense needs Miles Austin. Once he comes back it will open up Dez, Robinson, witten

Good point
How often have we said it: “If we only had this player healthy, playing next to this player, and if we can just get a player who can do this, no one could ever stop us!!!” and then when we get those players a lot of teams manage to stop us. Would anyone be really surprised, I mean REALLY surprised, if we had Dez, Witten, Austin, Robinson, and Murray on the field at the same time and yet still managed to struggle offensively?? I don’t know either

I think youre looking at it all wrong
Other teams are forcing throws in double coverage to get there number 1 the ball Garrett and Romo apparently don’t feel like they need to do that with Robinson showing up the way he has. Dez draws the attention and witten does too so why not hit the easy guy why force throws when game is this close and two int already.

I totally agree...
How do teams like GB get receivers so wide open and Romo has to thread the needle on almost every pass? I don’t get it sometimes.
by mtibus on Nov 25, 2011 7:07 AM CST up reply actions 1 recs
Same here. Nearly every time they show a highlight of a GB TD, the
receiver is running free and open.
for one their line is blocking, kosier and costa ruin that every other play and even free had has his ups and downs
and all of their WR’s are pretty much sure-handed. Frenchie and Miles had a case of the dropsies this year. and all of them are fast except driver. but it mainly rest on the line holding up.
hopefully with miles back they run some more spread sets with Miles, Dez, Frenchie, Witten, Murray, and Felix and force the defense to cover 6 and only send 3 or 4. All of our guys can beat just about everybody in single coverage with enough time. When Bennett, Phillips, Tree, Holley, etc are out there the defense sends extra pressure and forces those guys to make a catch via forcing romo to make wild throws to get it to them

We are 7-4 and Tony Romo and Miles Austin were never in a groove. Even when he seemed ok, Miles Austin was being slowly pushed back into the game.

I think he'll see a good portion of Bennett's snaps
As the O-line improves, and with Fiametta hopefully getting well soon, Bennett will be more and more of a liability. Garrett has already proven the best 11 play. I would expect a constant WR rotation, and the dialing back of the 2 TE sets.

But your posts distinctly point to the fact that you relish pointing out the negatives far more than you ever indicate that you have ever actualy enjoyed the fact that we won a game. We get the point, this is not a perfect team, and it needs a lot of work, but for some of us, that makes it even more exciting that we were able to pull one out. And with some heriocs from some of our players. Your posts for the most part have a distinct Funeral Parlor tone to them. IMHO, most fans are usualy happy when their team wins, and try to show it. Even Troy and Rodger had games like this, and I was happy when they won.

I called for him to be cut last week...
and I got talked off the ledge b/c he batted down a ball in the end zone. Now, I truly call BS. Teams are clearly targeting him, because they know what I can see…He’s not very good.
The Superbowl is played three times each year: the "real" one, and the two times we play the Philadelphia Eagles.
That's the point, Spirals.
On several throws Moore didn’t even attempt to look off the coverage. He locked onto Ball at the snap. Miami was totally going after Ball. That’s what good coaching does…find the weakness, beat it to death. I noticed in the Green Bay game yesterday that in the double coverage of Megatron, the GB safeties were doing a great job of covering over the top…being where they needed to be at the time the ball arrived. Our safety play can still improve too.

"The Drive"
Romo authored a ridiculous nine-play, 77-yard drive to score a touchdown to start the fourth quarter. Romo extended plays, delivered passes while being hit, and threw on the run. Laurent Robinson continue his remarkable season with two touchdowns. It was the most impressive drive we saw all year.

Witten was drawing double coverage too...

Witten earned his options
Bryant hasn’t. When he does, he’ll have more opportunity. Trick’s in the doing. Witten’s done it and a 2nd year anybody whose not even played 2 full years worth of games just plain hasn’t.
The comparison’s suspect from the get-go.

It has nothing to do with earning "options."

No one denies he has things to learn...
but really the Dez hate is unwarranted… Go read what the WR coach had to say about him this week…

Shame I don't have a "hate on" for the guy
Never have. Plenty of what’s said about his play, on both sides, is warranted. Plenty isn’t. There’s the outlier deify/dismiss going on, the BS pre-proven love and unproven hae reasoning in any of these high draft picks.
The kid shows glimpses, is learning to play inh this league and I defy you or anyone to show me where I’ve trashed him or displayed “hate”. Quite the opposite, professor. I want the kid to succeed, see the potential and have stated such in the past.

Ok, fair enough...

… dynamics of the game, the teamwork clearing coverage, the sometimes-overlooked “openess” any receiver in a multiple option (meaning receiveinjg player) offense, all that, that you and others point out many a valid point regarding the contribution, even the overlook. That’s life. Happens. As he, or any new kid on the block, proves himself, adjusts to the overall team and gametime dynamic, they’ll earn their shots, their opprtunities in conjunction with the developed play and the player onj the other side of that pass duo. Romo, hell no QB, can throw to every receiver every time they’re open. Not if they’re the guys who earned their high nuimbers of snaps.
It’s team. Fully expect Dez to get more involved, by his efforts and those of his teammates combined, over time. People often overlook the number of games, the number of snaps, the experience, this past suckitude offseason, the individual (and all that means, in every sense) in whatever circumstances, such things. As this year progresses, even if it takes into 2012, I’d be surprised and disappointed if it didn’t come to be for a talented guy like him.

There are rookie WRs in the league right now who have less games than Dez and also “weathered the suckitude” who are playing better than Dez.
Let’s face the fact: It is on Dez. He is a slow learner and is going to need more time than other WRs would.

I don't care if he only played 1 more game.
He has spent a year more with his organization than a rookie. He had the playbook, sat in team meetings, watched film and watched live practices. He could talk to his QB, WR coach and other WRs.
And yet a rookie comes in with no TC and plays just as well as Dez. And I know Dez is competing for balls with our other receivers, but many people are concerned about his knowledge and execution of the route tree.
I’m not saying Dez sucks. I’m just saying the “give him an offseason and more time” excuse is lame.
Maybe we just need to realize that he is not the potential superstar that so many people thought he was. A huge body is not enough in the NFL. You must have the smarts, too. The brain is what makes the game slow down and seem easy to some guys, and too fast for others.
"I'm huunngray. I want some f**ken french tooast!"
and who else is on the Bengals?
Dallas has Miles/Robinson= Witten
Green is the #1 WR on his team
Dez is at best #2 more likely #3(if you include Witten
you put Dez on the bengals…I beat his numbers go up
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass.

Exactly
You can do a lot of things in life. You can't stab a teammate with a pair of scissors. - Kevin Smith
Except in crucial situations against the Redskins when the game is on the line.
Sounds like an observation that lacks evidence.
I mean honestly, this type of thought being out there is no better than the people who thought they could draw conclusions about Romo’s leadership based off of his mannerisms.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
I never said Romo doesn't throw to him at all.
There’s been numerous people comment about Dez’s route tree problems (notably Bob Sturm). Hell, I don’t think I’ve seen a game this year where Romo hasn’t had a moment where he’s thrown to Dez it’s ended incomplete and Romo’s thrown up his arms and started lecturing the lad. After that happened in today’s game Romo barely looked his way again. I don’t blame him, after already throwing two picks Romo couldn’t risk a third and Dez is too risky. Witten, Robinson and Murray are much safer.
I suppose I could buy that there is a hierarchy of trust
because certainly Romo appears to feel most comfortable throwing to Witten. However, I think it takes an additional leap in speculation to say he doesn’t trust him. I don’t think you make some of the throws to Dez that Romo has without trusting him to make the tough catch.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
Okay it appears I may have accidentally unleashed the italics.
Hopefully this will put an end to it
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
I think down the field, one on one, Romo has great trust in Dez to come down with it.
I think in precise routes with defenders close, combination routes, hot routes, Romo feels much more trust with Miles, Robinson, Witten. Even Robinson, who’s had much less practice and play time with Romo than Dez, seems to have developed instant rapport with Romo. And what is Robinson complemented about? His route running. Precise, reliable. Until Dez does the same he’ll continue to disappear for long stretches.
I think Dez has a ways to go before he becomes a complete player. He’s only young though so time is on his side.
Didn't Romo throw a pick when he threw to Robinson?

And watch Dez closely…he was doubled a lot but Tony missed him on 2 seam routes wide open. Romo chose to take the underneath stuff to Robinson but a lot of coverage was rolled his way
by Mac_Eleven on Nov 24, 2011 7:19 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
Exactly, everyone here needs to review the throw on the first INT...
Dez runs wide open to the flat… But Romo decides to throw to Mary who has drawn the attention of the corner and safety. If Romo had gone to Dez, he might have gained as many yards as he tried to gain by going to Marty. Marty had cleared all the defenders underneath.
"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
Really?
I thought that was just an underthrown ball, plain and simple. Put it higher and just slightly deeper and it’s a big gain.
Just saying that sometimes Dez is open, but
Romo looks elsewhere. On this particular play, that didn’t help him. BTW, 3rd INT on this throw, to the same area, this year…
"[Sean] Lee has more value now...than our entire 2010 draft"--- An Eagles' fan.
shouldnt even be throwing it to bennett anyway
and it was either a really poor throw because tony rushed ergo did not see Dez wide open on the sideline or because he chose Bennett to actually make an effort on a jump ball over Dez(wide open at that) and bennett never even turned around and didnt even chase Vontae after he picked it

I would only throw to Bennett if he were wide open open
On a seam route. He seems to do pretty well on those. He has the worst hands of any receiver. Why would anyone throw to him deep when he double covered?
he's a blocking TE not a receiver
have you ever seen him drop a McGee pass?
It was. Just listened to a replay of Romo's presser. He said he underthrew
the ball to Bennett, and the second INT was a miscommunication with Robinson.
That was my impression from the game
He said something right afterward to Robinson, so I assumed he was supposed to run a skinny post instead of the fly.
Don't believe everything you think.

LOL..I LOVE this description! The ENTIRE secondary should be embarrassed by this game.
“On their next possession, Alan Ball and Terence Newman were embarrassed by Miami receivers, with Brandon Marshall catching a 35-yard lob pass with Terence Newman looking like a 1980’s hip-hop chain, draped around his neck.”
"Drew is a winner"....Roger Staubach
and he did that all game
hopefully this goes on NFL replay because Newman got away with PI or illegal contact every other target to marshall while he covered him

newman is 5'10 marshall is 6'4 or 6'5
This is why it would be great to have dre kirkpatrick. We need a cb that’s at least 6’2 that can wire up and play man on today’s taller WRs
by matt575 on Nov 24, 2011 9:00 PM CST via mobile up reply actions
I would love to have him.
It would be really nice to have two corners in him and Jenkins who have long arms and can be physical with receivers. Scandrick and Newman are more of the type of corners who cover their guys like they are running track. It can be effective to a point, but a guy like Marshall requires more physicality to cover.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
With receivers getting bigger and bigger, we should maybe rethink out prototype corner
How are the 5’10 guys expected to cover a guy that is 6’ 4 and has the same leaping ability?
by 2tightendpkg on Nov 24, 2011 10:55 PM CST up reply actions
Looks back at the Detroit game, Megatron out leaped the entire secondary on their best jumps.
With the recievers getting taller, we’ll need a taller cb or two to compete with that. Its probably the only reason last year, that Roy Williams was so good in that game against Houston, he was 6’ 6 and their tallest corner was like what 5’ 11?
haha roy isn't 6'6 where did u get that no.?

Three and out . . .

It wasn't holding. It was illegal contact and he did touch him beyond 5 yards.

He touched him began Fasano ran at him and swam move him.
I dislike that call because Elam was not actively trying to initiate the contact after five yards. Fasano ran right at his core and forced Elam to put up his hands so as to not get run over.

Couldn't agree more.
The Dallas offense responded as Romo and Robinson connected three times, including an 18 yard touchdown in the back of the end zone when Romo pulled his Houdini act, once again escaping pressure. Robinson further proved what a tremendous in-season acquisition he has been, catching his fourth and fifth touchdowns in the last three games. That brings his season total to seven in just nine games. Robinson started his route from the right side, and as Romo manuveured worked his way open in the back corner on the opposite side of the field. bq.
That about sums it up.

let's look at the positives:

i think we all agree tat fiametta has a tremendous impact on the run
nevertheless, it speaks volumes that murray has been able to workhorse like he has without him. both games, 70+ yards. felix or choice would never have done what demarco has these past two weeks. frankly, i’m more impressed in the past two weeks with him than i was even when he was a sure-fire 100 yarder.
I agree

This is our longest winning streak since 2007
It’s a win and at this time of the year I’ll take it. Other people can go for the style points.
Winning is nice, but what will decide the division will probably be our head-to-head games with the Giants. Today’s win won’t mean much if they sweep us.
The Dolphins are playing very well now, especially on defense. The Eagles have to play them on the road in three weeks. The Eagles road to the playoffs looks pretty steep now. They could easily lose two of their next three, making a two-team race.
Itll matter if the NYG lose this or next week..

But the important games will be with the Giants. The Giants have swept us before, even when we had the better team, like in 2009.

If the Giants lose their next two all we need to do is split with them and win the games we should.
3 more wins for 10. Beat the Cardinals, Split with the Giants, and split the Eagles and Bucs match ups. That’s a reality right there.

Won't even ask for the numbers on that
The probabilities per scenario.Been going with: handle business and look to New Years Day. Unless handling business takes care of it before then.

Tan...
Winning next week along with two Giant losses brings us into the Giants game at 8-4. Giants 6-6. Meaning we win that game we basically won the NFC East. So lets handle business before New Years Day.

Next week hasn't happened
Giants/NO hasn’t happened. Neither has Packers/Giants. Dec 11th is some time off yet.

Which, if you'd read carefully my post
Was exactly the point I was making. And I didn’t see anyone getting agitated.
i'm optimistic about our chances against the Giants.
good thing they went back to the 4-3 since Parcells left them, i think that is a more natural fit for our running game. methinks the Giants cannot shut down our running game for both games, and if we can limit the time Eli can spend on the field, the D can play at 110%, and that way the pass D might be able to keep it up.
at the same time i see we’re getting better at running at 3-4 teams which i think was our kryptonite, so i expect Murray breaking the 1k marker during the first match against the Giants.

After losing games we should have won, it s nice to finally win one that we should have lost. Why didn’t the dolphins go for 2?

too early in the game.
and, had they made the two point conversion, plus the missed FG, that puts them to… 23 points. that means that we could not play for the FG like we did, but go for a TD.
2 minutes 41 seconds, two timeouts plus the two minute warning left, 2nd&4 on the MIA35… i like our chances, don’t you?

"They need security in the world, Craig!"
want to shake my fist at them and hug them at the same time
each phase provided great frustration but made just enough good plays to win.
Tony and the offense started out of sync, but were clutch down the stretch. As amazing as some of his plays were on Sunday, today was even more amazing. not just extending the play with his spin move and scooting out of the pocket, but this time delivering clutch passes in the clutches of the defense or as he was being leveled, total Jedi moves. The last TD drive was really just jaw-dropping. Every time I thought something really bad was just about to happen and all of a sudden it’s a first down. Wow. We are really lucky to have Romo and anyone who thinks different at this point is just stupid, ignorant, or both.
The D was infuriating giving up 3rd down conversions, but then stout in the red zone. they have major questions and certainly don’t inspire championship confidence going against less than potent offenses, but did their part overall, and this time came up with the crucial stop in the end.
but that last drive was awesome. we cannot overestimate how important it is to have a back and a line (even without Fiametta – big props to Phillips as FB btw) that can conduct a drive like that. They knew we were going to run, and the play calling and execution would not be stopped. It was a thing of beauty, and being able to do that will win us some more games…

he’s 6’5" and at an automatic disadvantage for leverage. I’m not saying he’s a great FB, but I’m saying as a guy who isn’t even actually a FB he did a good enough job today, especially on that last drive. If Fiametta was in there some of those runs might have been TDs and I sure hope he can come back for AZ, but I just got to give props to Phillips for essentially playing out of position in a crucial position in our running game and doing a good enough job to win us the game. You don’t need to take that away from him niggling on some uncalled holds!!! lol

I also think one thing to keep in mind
Having to play the dolphins 4 days after playing a division rival on the road is not ideal. I know the Cowboys do it every year, but Thursday games suck for the teams
sucks that we had a road game prior to this one
Now that we won, we can look at it as a positive, we get a 10 day break where jenkins and miles can almost certainly come back, and hopefully Fiametta can get over his mysterious illness
I guess that is the turnaround
We get a mini bye. I think back to the jets who beat the Bills and were division favorites, only to lose to the patriots and broncos and fall behind other wildcard contenders in 4 days

I like that Romo is having some fun with the media
in his recent interviews, his response to Prime, his comments about the timeout that wasn’t, etc. he’s not afraid to be a little salty and tease the media some, make some jokes while still following the script. Makes the whole thing more fun, and I think it shows that he’s feeling comfortable and confident in himself, which is reflected in his game.

This team can beat 3-7 teams, it’s above average, but that victory didn’t exactly inspire confidence.
I never thought the Secondary could actually get WORSE as the season goes on.
I mean what other team ever has any unit that just plays worse and worse as the year goes on?? It’s ridiculous. They were embarrassing today.
But the Cowboys, and especially Romo, showed guts and pulled out a tough victory. But I’m not about to go gaga over that game. They were very very lucky.

This late in the season there’s no excuse for a pass rush like that.

The penalties were stupid.
Miami should have won, but a few really good plays saved the Boys, the last 2 games Romo’s won them pretty much single-handedly with his escapability. That does not bode well.

great win
I thought it would be easier, and it may’ve been if the offense was more in sync at the start, but the result is what matters.
Romo had one of the best drives of his career at the end of the 3rd/start of the 4th. That was all Tony. But he did have to get away with a Favreian throw that Witten bailed him out on.
Defense came up big when it mattered, but we look like a sieve between the 20s. I think Mike Jenkins would make a big difference – he seems to be our best man corner when it comes to deep passes, hes the only one capable of defending a ball in the air. Newman and Scandrick are poor at this. But seriously, our defense looks worse by the week.
ST were a total mess. McBriar’s hurt, and we just mistake after mistake. We got an alignment penalty on a punt!
And I’d like to bring up another point. Considering how effective Robinson has been, should we consider putting Dez on PR duty when Miles gets healthy? Dez is as talented a return man as any guy out there, and I think a decent PR guy would make a huge difference in these games.
What was up with all that shifting around on the punt?
That was just…dumb.
Dez isn’t getting that many catches now anyway. Punt return duty is a good way to get him involved.
I didn't understand the logic there either and yes on Dez returning punts, he's special at it
Nobody cares about your effin fantasy team, keep it to yourself...........Lock n Load
I think that was because they didn't want the Phins to know who was returning the punt. Maybe they were afraid the Phins wouldn't punt it to Dez. I don't know
You can do a lot of things in life. You can't stab a teammate with a pair of scissors. - Kevin Smith
on one hand
I feel like Garrett should maybe get a little creative in getting Dez the ball, outside the normal route patterns, because hes a demon when he has the ball in his hands.
But on the other hand, I’m sure if we actually tried this it wouldn’t look so good.
They started early trying to get the ball to Dez
First play from scrimmage – quick hitch to Dez. Dolphins blew it up, but the thought was there.
Fear the Star!
liked to see more reverses like the saints do/did with moore/henderson/bush
dez, miles, and a fully healthy felix i wouldnt mind seeing on end arounds to catch the defense sleeping

Can we talk about that timeout some more?
1. They were 4th and goal from the 5
2. Too Many Men – half the distance to the goal
3. 2 1.2 yard line. Still FG.
Is all that right? Then the T/O was a rather bad error. And could have been horribly costly.
the kind of thing you can gloss over in a win
but still Joe D’s units have had some major problems that last couple games and this was one more symptom of something that has to get fixed for the stretch run
"When you want to win a game, you have to teach. When you lose a game, you have to learn."—Tom Landry
You're exactly right
It was a wasted timeout, and could have been devastating. The coaching staff needs to recognize timeouts are a strategic asset that allow teams to stay in a game at the end and should only be used when it makes a major difference. Landry and Parcells were brilliant in their ability to manage time at the end of halves, Garrett still doesn’t seem to get it. We blow timeouts when we don’t need to, and don’t have them when we need them.
That was my feeling as well.
I couldn’t understand what the logic was there. It’s truly amazing how many coaches don’t understand how to use timeouts. Just look at how poor Chip Kelly managed that final drive last week against USC. So many coaches either treat them as expendable or act as if they get a bonus point for keeping them.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
I THINK
they were worried that those extra couple yards could entice the Phins to go for it.
thats what i would think

because Marshall is the type of receiver that Jenkins, not Newman or Scandrick, is made to cover with his long arms and pressing ability.
If I had a nickel for every Super Bowl the Eagles have won, I would have zero nickels.
some ppl on this blog
think ball hasn’t played that bad. he doesnt even play the ball he got call for p.i. like every other third down when need a big play. a yellow flag. oh almost forget Newman headlock but that was cool tho. a little tighter he would but him too sleep. but i think ball is Jacques reeves clone for real. i thought we got ridden of him. we need to start scouting better on secondary like every draft a in the 2nd-4th. Not a big time starter but someone who plays on defense that was top in the nation like lLSU, bama, or Janoris Jenkins. someone who can play man coverage not this 10 yard cushion it piss me off. i want a corner who can attack the ball when it in the air like the packers corner did today. i want a corner that can play the corner

I know hamstring injuries are tricky and take a long time to heal, but are they planning for him to be back for Arizona? Or the Giants game?

I had to record the game, and I'm catching up now. In all the years of I've watched
football, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a drive like that second TD drive Romo and his receivers pulled off. Unreal.
Some of thos passes Romo threw
as he was about to get sacked were absolutely incredible. I was worried about his ribs.

Absolutely. Suh, for as much as I thought of him in college,
has often acted like a petulant child in the NFL who has no respect for other players or the rules. It seems he has left the commissioner no choice but to suspend him for a significant stretch of games. Of course, if it hurts the Lions it’s not like I’m going to complain too much.

Do you think there's a correlation between his over the top behaviour
and the immature and unprofessional manner in which his head coach behaves too? Doesn’t seem like their HC has tried to discipline him at all.
I normally like the underdog but I can’t stomach the Lions and it all starts with their idiot HC.
maybe Suh is frustrated because....
he cant man handle men in the NFL like he did the boys in college.

Suh wasn’t known as a dirty player at Nebraska, but the whole Detroit team now seems to be hot-headed and a little dirty. Schwantz could well be the reason why.

My guess is three
Haynesworth got five for stomping on Gurode in 2006, and that was much worse. What works against Suh is he’s a repeat offender, the stomp was unprovoked, he had just met with Goodell about his behavior (ahem) and he denied doing anything wrong in his press conference. It wasn’t violent, but it was disgraceful to the image of the league…my bet is three games.
Suh is officially a jerk

That's Dave Campo technique
I’ve seen it in every defensive backfield he’s coached. He’s easily the most overrated position coach on our staff and I don’t understand why he gets so much respect around the league given he’s absolute garbage.
He can't go out there and play for them.
He’s a few better players. His scheme is covering up a lot of sins. This needs to be his draft.

Here's a milestone I'm sure you've all noticed, but I'll throw this out there anyway
DeMarco Murray (832/5.7/2TD) will certainly be the first cowboys rusher to go over 1000 since Julius Jones, and will most absolutely have the highest rushing yard total since the great Emmitt Smith
Murray is 176 yards away from brealing T. Dorsett's rookie rush record ...

Hopefully, he breaks it in the next three weeks
so no one will try to put an asterisk on it.
Dorsett’s rookie year was 1977, the last year of the fourteen game schedule. 1978 began the current format with sixteen games.
If he can break it in fourteen games or fewer, then no one will question its legitimacy.

um he didn't start til week 6 or something..

also our worries about Felix taking carries away from Murray have been allieviated
AND he’s on kickoffs. Perfect. Murray is the man from here on out. Although I think Felix deserves more touches, but the way the game played out there wasnt much room for him in the gameplan.
I think 5-10 touches is a comfortable range for the Cat

well, he made up almost 1000 yards in 8 games*, didn't he?
*plus it was like 5/20 or so in the first match, when he hurt his shoulder blade
guy was running like a man posessed, some 140 against the Bears on (probably) Thanksgiving, almost 200 against the Seahawks on the road…
i think it was his second year when he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Eagles early in the season, he was like 12 for 75 (or 15 for 72) in the first half, the was out for the rest of that match plus a few more, and he never looked the same afterwards.

Playcalling
I only saw the first half but found the offensive playcalling awful. 1st down run every time, 2nd down pass almost every time, 3rd down pass every time. No play action until the goal-to-go touchdown (admittedly, that play-action worked.) You don’t have to spend the entire half setting up one play-action, JG.
If you chose to watch only one half,
you should have watched the second half. You’d feel a lot better right now.
Ask not what America's team can do for you, but what you can do for America's team.
I guess it seemed that way but....
in the first half on 1st downs
9 run plays
6 pass plays
"....the Cowboy way...." (Head Coach, Jason Garrett)
Running 60% of the time on first down
In a pass-happy league is a strong tendency. That might explain why Murray didn’t do so well.
compared to GB for the full game
on 1st downs
13 run plays
13 pass plays
"....the Cowboy way...." (Head Coach, Jason Garrett)
That's deceptive
Because Green Bay ran the ball heavily on first down until they went up 21-0. After that, they ran the ball on six of their last seven first downs, excluding the final kneeldown.
If you look at that the splits before the game was out of hand, it was more like:
12 pass
6 run.
On the other hand, after the opening play, we ran the ball to Murray on first down six straight plays, with mediocre results. Garrett has shown a tendency to fall into repetitive play calling ruts, and this was yet another one.
Hmmm….either I’m more senile than I realize or those stats include some 2-minute drill plays I’m discounting.
Too close to call. :)
You were right
Early in the game he ran it on first down six straight times. Defenses love it when a play caller gets that predictable.
What a game!
I was confused why the Phins didn’t go for two when they scored 15-10… and it came back to bite them in the behind! wow… if they would have gotten two, it would have been a tie game. can’t believe romo didn’t choke.

At this point I think I'd rather get back Fiametta than Austin
"....the Cowboy way...." (Head Coach, Jason Garrett)
well...Fiametta is more irreplaceable, our second option at FB (phillips) is not good at all
while I think Robinson and Bryant are a decent 1-2 WR group.
But man, our offense can be very good with Miles. Miles and Romo have one of those special communication chemistries, I will be very much looking forward to seeing them connect once again. Miles is head and shoulders better than the other receivers
I'm I the only one somewhat disappointed with Dez?

When Miles is back fully fit...
I would not be surprised at all if we see sets where Miles and Robinson are on the field as #1 and #2. Especially if it gets down to crucial playoff type games. In my opinion it’s obvious that Romo is more comfortable with those two.
Not saying there’ll be no role for Dez, he’ll still see the field plenty because he’s such a threat down the field that leaving him one on one is playing with fire for a defense. Those double teams he attracts deep, open up things underneath for the others.

so what has Dez done in comparison?
CJ -rookie year:
48/756/4
Second year: 281 completion(509 att)
78/1331/12
Fitz rookie year:
58/780/8
second year:419 completions(607 Att)
103/1409/10
Dez Rookie year:
45/561/6
2nd year (projected)352comp/560 Att
55/896/8
that looks pretty bad right?
Considering that other than Boldin who also had 100+rec(bear in mind those Cardinals threw 600+ times that year with 400+ completions) NO other WR/TE caught more than 40 passes on either team…..yet on Dallas you have this:
WItten(projected)
77/977/7
Robinson/Miles(combined due to Miles INjury)
96/1707/16
and Dallas has thrown alot less than the Cardinals did back then….that is where Dez’s “production” has gone…..
Here’s a theoretical play from 2010: Snap. Tony takes 7 step drop. Tony looks left at Miles, who is doubled, and looks right to where Roy Williams should be…but instead sees Colombo on his back and a Defensive End foaming at the mouth jumping over Marc’s carcass.

gotta go over your figures once more.
Witten 81 rec/ 1037 yds/ 7 TD
Dez* 57 rec/ 930yds/ 9 TD
*while it might be tempting to count with 11 games spent against 16, Dez was inactive for the 49ers game, thus you should go forward with 10 games vs 15 in the projection imo

Considering that other than Boldin who also had 100+rec(bear in mind those Cardinals threw 600+ times that year with 400+ completions) NO other WR/TE caught more than 40 passes on either team
yet Dez may have as many as 3 other players with 50+ rec(Witten, Miles and Robinson)

well, i second you on that one.
and then we’re not taking into account passes to the RB tandem, which is used quite extensively in this team

Are you defending him then? Sorry it took me a while, but I was gone.
My point would still be, when a WR is drafted this high, even traded up for, purely based on his physical talent, then he should be getting open enough to get more of those targets and receptions.
Seriously, with Austin out, a street FA has stepped up and done better than Bryant-and are you happy with that?
He’s had plenty of time now to develop and for what was paid for him, he needs to start producing 100-yard games.

I'm only a little disappointed
I mean he’s catching most of what’s coming to him, and is good for 2-3 clutch, physical grabs every game but that’s it.
He’s doing his best and he’s getting better. Coverage rolls to him a lot and it’s just easier to throw to a single covered Robinson, so that’s one of Romo’s earlier reads.
Miles can do it all- make tough physical catches, run perfect routes, go over the middle, go deep, and fight to get open for Romo.
I feel like Robinson and Dez are each represent half of what Austin can do – Robinson is nowhere near as physical and Dez is very unpolished. Miles Austin will be welcomed with open arms and I think Dez and Robinson will rotate behind him effectively
yes, but ....here's the point tho.....
M. Irvin often saw double teams but still would make plays and be a threat for 4 qrts

No, the D is taking what Tony is giving
With all the behind the shoulders,under throwing the recievers, and the quick toss to the side, the Defense is taking what Romo is giving, meaning plenty of gift wrapped interceptions and a hell of a lot of punts. Defenses are well aware that this offense can’t string together enough 3rd down conversion off of Romo’s dinking and dunking. As long as they cover the deep threat, eventually Dallas will be forced to punt the ball away.
Thanksgiving isn’t Christmas, so stop handing out presents to the Defense, Romo. (Don’t worry, I still wouldn’t trade him for Tebow.)

I did love when Dez escorted Murray to his 1st rushing TD
Gotta throw out the love to Dez. But still can’t figure out if Romo being extra conservative with the ball in the second half is causing Dez to disappear. Romo loves the quick, short passes. (I’m thinking he is trying to save his body for the postseason….)
Now, I swear, the only rebuilding this year that I am faithfully watching and hoping for is an awesome running game. Witten has freed Murray for so many runs I can’t count. So, blocking TE is secured. I don’t think Fiammetta will ever be back, so another fullback will be needed.And If the O-line can be shored up, Murray can be explosive.
Then again, what comes first, the chicken or the egg: A good passing offense or a good running game?
Murray was effective when he was needed.
He was key on those last few carries to get Steely Dan close. And man, am I glad we wound up with him kicking.

Yeah, the first step is evaluating the team's needs
You gotta think “who’s going to be gone next season?” and see what to do from there. Obviously CB is a huge need for the team, followed closely by Center and DL help. Honestly, the only guys I can see being gone next year are:
Brooking
Bradie
Ball
Bennett
Buehler
One of Spears, Butler, and Spencer will be gone too…probably some more folks off the DL, but those five are the only for sures. My surprise pick for a cut: Felix Jones.

Secondary
Besides our safeties which are very good i think. But the rest of the guys Walker, Ball, Newman and so on did not play well again today. And vs Washington make Grossman and Gaffney look like Montana and Rice. Something needs to be done hopefully Jenkins when he comes back helps. I think Ball should be released he is garbage.
Our Lack of a pass rush
doesnt help.Jenkins we need you.Ball is trash.
Respect the greatness that is the Dallas Cowboys
if they had revis and ed reed back there they'd be straight
or if on the line they had: Justin Smith, Domato Peko, Ngata, Calais Campbell, Tommy Kelly
plus in the LB core: an orakpo, cam wake, or curtis lofton.
if they could just shore up the front seven like the niners and get by with an average secondary who can capitalize on almost every bad pass from the front sevens consistent pass rush or a coverage unit like the bengals, jets, and ravens who have enough smarts and speed to bait the QB into poor throws or force him to run and are able to disrupt the WR’s routes(would say raiders too but they just knock the hell out of you at the LOS and draw a ton of flags)

Play of the game
The lead pass to Murray, Romo was hit and the ball was accidentally thrown ahead of Murray. First time all year he led Murray well that he was able to get some speed before the catch. Reminded me of the 40-yard screen – McGee to Murray in pre-season vs Fins.
mine is Dez's punt, that was a huge play momentum wise and field position

Ball was underthrown
Bennett didn’t seem to react to it very quickly. Has he been more alert, he could have come back for the ball. The important question for me is why we would throw deep into double coverage to a tight end with horrible hands. Never should have been thrown,

I agree on the design in general, but actually, I think ke was open.
I still wouldn’t throw it to Bennett, but maybe JG was trying to get one more good play out of him after last week.
Anyways, that one’s on Romo, way underthrown….unless it was one of those designed ones where the receiver is supposed to come back. Romo did look a little pissed. Even so , if it was, no way MB makes that play.

I've noticed that Bennett never comes back for the ball.
He stands there and waits for it to come to him. He’s not good at going up and fighting for the ball. With his basketball background, that’s what the Cowboys drafted him for. To this point he has failed miserably in that regard. I don’t why it’s taking JG so long to recognize that.
May the Swartz be with you.
It would seem to me that Dez is the best we have at the jumpball situation,
Yet the keep going to Bennett in those situations. I even saw them do it twice this game to Robinson. That’s three jump ball situations, none went to Dez and none were completed. They just don’t seem to always use the right personnel for the right job.
May the Swartz be with you.
Well, I've never been a fan of his, from the day we traded Fasano, a perfectly good backup, then had to draft Bennett.
It was like we were doing Parcells a favor in Miami. But MB’s had a lot of defenders on this site over the years, although you won’t find many of them any more.

previous thanksgiving games
we’ve overperformed. It seems like generally, the opposing team doesn’t want to be here and we get a boost from playing at home. I thought that would happen again – on a neutral field, I’d have us at +3 or so over Miami, so I was thinking 8 or 9 when you consider homefield + Thanksgiving
What I forgot was that Miami is stacked with former cowboys. If there is a team the thanksgiving day “rule” wouldn’t apply to, its them

I thought the throws were mostly pretty safe on that drive. They
weren’t all pretty since he was getting nailed as he threw. The interesting thing about the throw to Witten is that it was pretty deliberate. I watched it about three times, and, even though he was going down, his eyes were up, and he was tossing it to where Witten could catch it.
That was a great throw
It’s so awesome to see QB hits having no effect on Romo’s comp percentage.

More than fair.
He never lost faith in himself or his teammates. That last drive was a very, very good quarterback delivering under pressure. The word “clutch” does come to mind.

romo has 1 foot across
the boarder into the elite status imo, just a couple of upgrades on that line & i think he steps in there all the way… all this other talk about him not being clutch & he can’t handle the pressure is bs.. how many game winning drives does he have just this season 4 or 5.

If Dallas loses a close game
It’s because we choked and the other team was clutch. If we win a close game, we’re lucky. That’s how it works in the mind of a Cowboy hater.
I'm over on Jimmy's site arguing the same thing
he actually said, we were lucky to win the game because of the bad snap fumble at the end of the first half. What about the next 30 minutes of the game?
Hell, if that makes it a lucky win, half of the wins in the entire league are lucky wins. And yet, there are Cowboys fans agreeing with him.
Complete and total BS assessment to call that lucky. Winning an ugly game does not = lucky. out of the last 44 plays, which one was luck?

It was hard..
What ticked me off about it so much is the aftermath.
All I hear from ignorant anti-Cowboy fans after these games is…“It was only the Dolphins…only the Seahawks…only the Rams…”
Sick and TIRED of it.
I follow COWBOY FOOTBALL as a primary fan. I can NOT bring myself to like any other team since I’m a 3rd generation fan. I do like football in general and will watch for plays. Same way with baseball. I like to watch the good plays.
To the point, what these people must not understand is that every game is not going to be a blow out win. The “weak” teams aren’t always that weak. The Dolphins were playing some hard up defense the past 4 games now. We scored on them twice after they didn’t give any TDs up for 14 quarters?
I really need to make a fan post because I’ve got a lot on my mind.
had the Phins played this way the whole season,
they would’ve been 5-5 or 6-4 before the match.

Soo....
What happens to Felix, he’s gone at the end of the year, right? He’s pretty much useless now, and he’s effectively been Wally Pipped. My only concern is Murray’s workload, I don’t want to Barber the guy, because it seems like he can be one of the better backs in the league. Felix has to go, IMO, but that also means that they have to find another RB.
Felix seems deflated...
What happened to the burst?

Those images circulating the web were fakes.

Many fans are taking it as a given — some with dread, some with glee — that Nike will give the NFL a wholesale makeover when it takes over the league’s uniform contract in 2012. Speculations on what a Nike-fied NFL might look like, cooked up by some enterprising Photoshoppers, have been circulating for nearly a year now. Although the league and Nike confirmed that those designs are not legit, they still represent some people’s worst fears (or fondest dreams, depending on whether you’re an old-school or new-school kind of fan).

Nike can't change the uni's without Jerry's permission and thats a fact.
Jerry isn’t dumb hes a marketing genius and keeping the classic uni’s is key. Cowboys have always been know for their clean classic jersey.

I dunno. What do y'all think? Was the O line awful, or should we just give it up for
a good defense?
Felix was playing injured and on a short week he had limited action...
Demarco also had limited touches since it was critical for us that he didn’t go down. If he was out we would have been very limited in playcalling… with Felix and Philip not getting enough snaps in practice.
I don’t think Felix was out, just giving him limited snaps.
Demarco was going up the gut a lot, I didn’t see a lot of sideline-to-sideline stuff. He runs to daylight anyway but I get the feeling they don’t want him to run sideways.
Not pretty but I'll take it
I know our last two games were close, but one was our most hated rival and another was riding a three game win streak.

Giants fans complaining
After our win today, I found a Giants fan on NFL.com complaining that “It isn’t fair” because they have the “better team” but Dallas will win the division. All because they have a very difficult schedule and we have it pretty easy compared to them. Complaining even further that we just barely beat the Skins last week and just edged the Dolphins today. Umm… last I checked the Giants almost handed the Dolphins their first win of the season and the final score was a very similar 17 – 20 victory for the Giants against the Phins. I really get sick of this kind of behavior…

Not really, just a bunch of division games for them for the most part except the Jets
But they haven’t exactly blown out any of the teams we have played, so I don’t see what the fuss is about it being “UNFAIR”
1. Unable to tie the game against SF and send it to over time while we are the only NFC team to beat SF so far
2. Only beat the Phins by two more points than we did and that game was a nailbiter too
3. Actually got some time to come back and win a nail biter against NE
4. Didn’t get blown out by Philly, but lost to the back-up (whom they picked of 3 times) and with a banged up Eagles Roster
5. Barely beat Buffalo, who we manhandled
6. Lost to Seahawks, which was close to being a nail biter for us.
7. Oh yeah, didn’t the Giants to the redskins 14 – 28? So why complain that we just barely beat them… twice…
When I see Cowboys vs. New York, I don’t see either one being way better than the other, I see it as pretty even actually.

free agency, draft, coaching changes, injuries are bound to still happen. Give Dallas a full offseason of workouts, cut some more dead weight, and hopefully through the draft and free agency shore up the defense and then get healthy.
Miles, Jenkins, Nagy, Arkin, Fiametta, Felix, Lee: get these guys fully healthy too.

I have to say that Miami really impressed me
They are not doormats and if they let Sparano go after the season, he is the guy to take over for Houck on the O-line. Maybe we could even get their DB coach to replace Campo.
OMG @ Alan Ball. This guy should be asking me if I want fries with my burger at the drive-thru, not trying to defend NFL receivers.
Hurry back, Mike Jenkins. We can’t survive a good passing team without you.
Newman’s quick twitch muscle fibers are gone and he looked like an old man out there.
I saw some great runs by Murray WITHOUT Fiametta so I’m putting that myth (that he needs TF to be successful) to bed until I have reason to suspect otherwise. If not for Andy Dalton and Cam Newton, Murray is Offensive ROY.
Nice work by the coaching staff as they cleaned up the play call timing and Romo generally got to the line with enough time to go through his pre-snap reads. This makes me very happy.
You know, it’s very possible that I have underestimated Miles Austin’s value to this offense.
Good for Matt Moore. He played well and I like the kid.
Middle pass rush? MIA
I am now convinced Ratliff is a JAG at NT and that rumors of his decline (many of them by me) were NOT exaggerated. I still think he could be an outstanding DE in this alignment.
Is Dan Bailey the next great NFL PK or the second coming of Nick Folk?
Tougher team this week and while there were still wayyyyyyyyyy too many mental errors, the organizational stuff got fixed. Now we just need to work on getting everyone to know the snap count and keep telling our DB’s they aren’t Asante Samuel.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
Why don't they just move him to DE and play one of the younger guys at NT?
I don’t get it.
On obvious passing downs I guess it’s about the same effect if they bring in 4 linemen basically.
Oh well.

And he didn’t like it at all. Didn’t work out too well. But I could be wrong.
May the Swartz be with you.
watch home vs away when it comes to play clock
every game at home we’re at hte line with ~10-15 seconds left
On the road, its more like 5-7. And Romo milks it to 1 or 2.
Also
Ratliff seems to be playing pretty well to me. Hes still our best Dlineman by a significant amount.
Which isn't saying anything
Hatcher is a walking penalty. Coleman is invisible. Spears is worth 3 snaps a game before he runs out of gas…not that he ever did anything when he had anything in the tank.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
yeah thats not much of compliment
hatcher and spencer both play clueless and its more than frustrating
lissimore, coleman, and geathers are nothing but rotation guys who likely wouldnt handle a full load of game snaps
spears: i forget he’s been here(along with hatcher) as long as Ware. its been over 5 years: the DE group needs a complete overhaul and the coaches need to convince Rat to go outside to get a true gap eater to clear the lanes for Carter and Lee

Really Blings?
As much as I respect your opinion I will have to disagree with you on this:
Ratliff is a JAG at NT and that rumors of his decline (many of them by me) were NOT exaggerated.especially after reading stuff like this:
Jay Ratliff (+12.6) is number five among all defensive tackles. He is already ahead of his 2009 & 2010 full season grades and ahead of where he was in his 2008 season, where he came in with a +21.5 season total.
that doesn’t really sound like someone who is “Declining” to me….

That's because I don't give a rat's ass about how those guys grade the players out
The methods these stat sites use to grade out players aren’t ones I agree with at all. What they call a sack, a pressure, etc.? Ridiculous.
Happy Thanksgiving, IaI.
"Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?"
I mention PFF because they use your "Eyeball exam"
don’t they? they just have established a standardized scoring system that they apply to ALL players
so what they call a sack, a pressure, a hit, is scored the same way For EVERY PLAYER….
so if by their scoring system Ratliff is considered a top 5 DT and is scoring at a higher rate than he did in previous years…
Maybe the fact that you are biased against Ratliff as a NT may have lead you to underestimate his impact as a NT?

I hear that Mike Jenkins is coming back next week
and not a moment too soon. Ball is on the field way too often. You can’t hide him if he’s on the field every down. His play today was so far beyond pathetic today. Receivers can do whatever they want to him. I saw a receiver blow by him and then come back for the ball as Ball blew by him in return, never seeing the ball. Ball did like a complete circle around the receiver. It was one of the most pathetic efforts I’ve ever seen.
Then another time I saw him a good 10 yards off of the receiver. The receiver broke off the route in front of him. Ball still tripped over his own ankles trying to close on the receiver as he came out of his back pedal. I looked at my brother and he looked at me like “Are you serious?” Another defender had to come over and make the tackle.
He was just getting absolutely abused out there. I was ready to call one of those protection agencies. It’s hard to believe that someone of that ilk could be getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do what he did.

OK, I plead ignorance: Someone who paid closer attention, how much was FWalker on the field compared to Ball?
The guy has looked good, has experience. I can’t get why he’s not the #3 CB in front of Ball.
Or is he out there more than I think and because he actually does his job I don’t notice him? Because the last 2 weeks I haven’t seen him.

Well I guess it's my turn
the boys were ragged in the first half mainly due to Romo misfiring. Under threw Dez for an INT and threw it behind Robinson for another INT. Second half – sharp. Defense clutch when it mattered in RZ, but need to dump Ball and fix the coverages. More pressure from front.
No, Romo does not trust Dez. Hopefully in time. Clearly favors LR and JW. Forget Dez being doubled. He hasn’t learned the book. Austin will be back for 1 maybe 2 games and then out again. Somebody said made of glass. Murray is the BEST back in the League RIGHT NOW because AP is out. A monster. And Bailey likewise. The Best in the League today. This was NOT a lucky win. This win was earned the hard way. Guts and perseverance. Pressure is on the Giants. We’ll be 8-4 to their 6-6 when we meet. Then 9-4 to 6-7 with 3 to play. We win the Div. Easy. Rest every body on the last game vs. Gmen because we can. Out.

To win the division
I want it to come down to having to beat the Giants to win it.If you win it you should deserve it and not back into it because of help.Dallas has already bettered their last years record and what more can we expect.They got better this year but did anyone really expect this team to win SB this year.Another good draft,a few key FA aquisitions and who knows,next year may be a lot more consistent.They showed guts to come back and win the last 2 but really could have gone either way.

Underthrew Bennett
Yeah, that was Bennett streaking, not Dez. That big “0” caught me off guard…would have rather seen two 8s, but then that means Dez would have run the wrong route. Much happier to hammer another nail into Bennett than Dez.
btw, just read that Aso has injured his knee.
might be a good thing we didn’t pay him a fortune.
and i forgot to comment that i'm glad Witten proved to be pivotal down the stretch.
i wished he could make up for that busted play when Wake abused him and stoned Murray for -5 yards.
well, he did make up for it, four times.
