Cowboys Complete Epic Comeback, Defeat 49ers 27-24 In OT

PrintSo a funny thing happened on the way to a loss in San Francisco. Tony Romo, broken rib(s) and all, completed a furious late-game comeback and led the Dallas Cowboys to their first win of the young season, a 27-24 road victory against the San Francisco 49ers.
A 77-yard play-action pass to unheralded backup receiver Jesse Holley immediately had Twitter reminiscing back to an Aikman-Ismail connection. OK, I led that discussion, but it still brought the team down to San Francisco's 1-yard line. Rookie K Dan Bailey then split the uprights for the win a few moments after tying the score at 24 with no time remaining in the fourth. Bailey had missed a 21-yard chip shot on the Cowboys first drive of the game that appeared to have a great chance to come back and haunt the team.
Holley, you say? Yes, Jesse Holley.
Much More...
Already playing the entire game without Dez Bryant, Miles Austin tweaked his hamstring (on a ridiculous pitch call to him out the RB position) as Dallas positioned itself for the tying field goal. Holley, who had never caught an NFL pass until back-to-back catches on the tying drive, evoked memories from the fateful comeback against the Redskins in September 1999. Lined up opposite Kevin Ogletree, the former reality show star made his mark in the NFL. The winner of Michael Irvin's TV show 4th & Long punched the clock to begin his next round of 15 minutes of fame.
Dallas lost the overtime toss, but after San Francisco gained a quick first down and another eight yards, imposed their will on the 49ers. On second down, DeMarcus Ware read a screen pass to Frank Gore so well that Smith didn't release and ate a sack by Jay Ratliff. A third down pass to Ted Ginn was ruled incomplete after a bobble and catch after his knee was down out of bounds. A punt by the 49ers and on the first play of overtime, Holley was streaking down the field to set up the winning kick.
The story of this game though is Tony Romo's toughness and resiliency. After a week of both national media and some Cowboys fans questioning his ability to lead this team to a victory in a clutch situation, Romo calmly and methodically marched the Cowboys down the field on two fourth-quarter scoring drives bringing the Cowboys back from a ten-point deficit.
Romo actually missed several series in the middle of the game, as Jon Kitna entered and threw a touchdown and two interceptions. The Cowboys announced that Romo wouldn't be returning to the field, but he talked his way back into the lineup and did his best to write a new chapter to the novella on his career.
With a little over seven minutes remaining, on fourth and five from the SF 34, the hobbled Romo completed a pass to Witten on the right sideline, despite another hit as he threw. On the very next play, Romo faked a handoff and tossed it to Miles Austin on the right sideline who jumped in front of the defender, snared the ball and then somehow crawled into the endzone without a knee touching turf. It was Austin's 3rd touchdown of the day, and put him over 100 yards for the 7th time in his last 13 games with Romo. Austin now leads the NFL with 4 touchdown receptions.
The Cowboys defense held when it needed to, getting pressure on 49ers QB Alex Smith on several occasions, including six sacks (Hatcher-2, Ware-2, Ratliff-1, Spencer-1). Alan Ball, clearly a target of Harbaugh's offense as he was repeatedly beat on third downs, exacted his revenge with a pick of Smith on a third down play. Rob Ryan's troops turned in another stout performance against the run game, holding the 49ers to 74 yards on 24 carries despite holding the lead for the entire game.
There was much doom and gloom hovering over Cowboys Nation in the first half. After Bailey missed the field goal attempt, a cloud seemed to settle in over the Cowboys sideline. Romo and his receivers lost all synchronicity, and he misfired on seven consecutive passes before leading a touchdown drive right before halftime. That 53-yard catch and run by Miles Austin brought the Cowboys to within seven at the break. Romo was lucky on a few passes that could have, and probably should have been intercepted by the 49ers, but he remained resilient and calm despite his injury.
Some say that great players focus even more when they are physically limited, and it appeared that way for Romo after his early injury. BTB will have much more in the coming days, and there were plenty of things to complain about, but for now revel in the win. After all, if none of Romo's good before the loss counted last week, none of the bad is allowed to matter this week, right? Jokes! It's a happy day right now.
Side note... It's now Redskins week!!

I was pleasantly shocked to see so many Cowboys fans in SF on TV
I was on the Ninersnation blog just to read what others teams say when they collapse against the Cowboys, and many were upset about how many Cowboys fans were at the game.

Niner fans have been griping for years about so many Cowboy fans showing up at Candlestick.
I always got my tickets from Niner fans, either free, or I paid big bucks. There are tons of Cowboy fans all over Northern California, not just the Bay Area.

I was surprised
By how many Cowboys fans were there. The chanting usually was louder for the cowboys.

I Snuck a sign in the stadium
And some 49er fan told security and they took it from me and wouldn’t give it back until after the game. Lamest move any fan has pulled in all of my experiences going to games.

where's a news source?
I’m struggling to find anything about injuries. Where’d you find your info?
Also, guess I missed Garrett’s presser somehow, or did they skip it for time’s sake given OT and long return home?

That was a satisfying win.
What a difference a week makes! Banged up, on the road, down by 7 in the 4th with a QB who was under extreme fire for his errors last week, and playing with a broken rib. Sure, the 9ers aren’t a great opponent, but they have some good players. To come back and win was a show of grit, the kind of win that this team might look back on and say, “that was when something special started.”

I feel like a jerk for saying that stuff in the earlier quarter game threads.
Great game, but Austin, Dez, Felix, Romo, and Witten are all hurting. Rest up guys because the Redskins are coming to big D.

I was so sick of the Andrew Luck BS today...kinda let it get to me more than I want to admit. But I don't want to hear this crap all year.
I should probably extend an apology to Lissyyyyy, so if you read this, sorry bruh.
Football is all emotion with me.
As a baseball and football fan I can say with baseball I have time to think before the pitch is made an react accordingly. With football I just rage.

I am giving serious consideration to staying out of them now also Tom.
It got bad yesterday for most of the game, and it takes away from the enjoyment.
I don't ever look at the game threads during the game
Rarely, I will look at them after the fact (like looking today at yesterday’s threads), but the comments don’t generally add much to the game experience.
The main reason is that I DVR the game and watch it – at my leisure – well after the game has begun (often after it is over). I do whatever I can to avoid any hint of how the game is going, so I can experience it the same way as if I were watching live.

i had this thought while we kicked the game winner
holley was celebrating like he just defused a bomb.. but bailey had already missed one that short. he would have really looked like an idiot if bailey missed again and he possibly had to go back out later.
My quote to my friends as Bailey was going out for that kick.
“If he misses this, cut him right now. He doesn’t get to fly back with the team. Let him buy a bus ticket. Let him walk home.”

i like to refrain until the game is over
but it was not looking well for most of the game until romo came back.
too many people try to make sound judgments off one or two plays. it can get ridiculous. the suck for luck stuff was asinine.
in my head i thought if they lost today then 0-5 may have been quite the possibility but i wasnt going to post that unless they lost convincingly and romo was done for a month or something

Im not a hater, Im a fan......but im not thrilled about beating alex smith and the niners in overtime....
I would be thrilled if these were the patriots, chargrs, steelers, ravens, eagles……but the niners are not exactly an elite team right now.
There are too many issues ith the cowboys, missed 21 yard FG, the defense is strugling with injuries and now the ofense will be as well.
This is an 8-8 - 9-7 team.
You win the ones you’re suppose to and hope you can steal a few you from better team. Get in the playoffs and get hot.
Lock n Load
dallas made some plays
but the run game has to get better. the niners safety slipped on austins td before the half and i have no clue why whitner and the other DB bit so hard on first down run action from nearly 80 yards away?
hoping dez and newman at least come back for next week and stafford gets decked before the lions game

You, my friend are the definition of a hater.
If you weren’t thrill about the W, not to mention about the resilience and heart this team showed. You are either not a fan or a hater.
I don't think so
The Cowboys did show heart and resilience, but we sustained major injuries during the game and that could hurt us in the future.

I think we actually underestimated San Francisco
They did play Seattle last week and Rob and Jason likely responded with a blah gameplan. It is hard to gameplan after a new head coach and team. Note: I am talking about Jim Harbaugh.

rush offense i agree is a huge problem for dallas
but pat willis and justin smith are no slouches. and felix is no frank gore. plus dallas rolls with this undersized speedy line. the niners were trotting out 6-7 lineman at times to power run
again even if they had dashon goldson and reggie lewis, dez and miles fully healthy would have wreaked havoc on them

9ers fans are complaining pretty heavily
for all the picks spent on their oline and run game, production has been minimal
Yeah, their O-line is pretty terrible.
They allowed Singletary too much say in personnel decisions and were far too slow to see that he was in over his head as a head coach.

This is why there are so many arguments
We go to extreme in measuring the teams successes or failures. Their defense did not manhandle us. Kinda like how the Falcons did not manhandle the Eagles. We got shots on their QB, we got some turnovers (well turnover), and we gave up only one sack. From what I’ve seen a lot of teams are having issues running the ball in general. We have Dockery who hasn’t spent much time with the team taking the place of Nagy who has been with the line at least through the preseason. They gave up one sack but yes they did have some stupid penalties. Unlike last year it hurt us some but it did not completely kill the drives.
The defense on the other hand is a weakness but only at our corners really. We are playing with our first, fourth, and fifth corner in our rotation. I think Scandrick means a lot more to our secondary then most of us knew. I do think our safety situation is a lot better then last year was (so far). Having a healthy Newman and Scandrick couldn’t hurt our secondary as it is right now. Plus we have a few glimpses from our young guys in Church and Mcray. Of which I’m psyched about.
Lee right now is a god send, brady is a weakness and so is Brooking but both still play rolls. Albright and Butler haven’t shown up to much so far but give it time and our front guys are playing better with Lissimore and Hatcher taking snaps. Its still a work in progress but there is lots of upside that we haven’t had in a while.

I think we came out fired up
but then missed the fg, SF punched us in the mouth ans we took a loooong time to recover
If that were the case, we would be limping back to Dallas 0-2.

Not trying to put too much hype on Holley
But did the Cowboys just find another Austin? Austin did the same exact thing… showed up in OT vs the Chiefs

Maybe not but he's starting to look better than Ogletree
he was in very briefly and had 3 catches, Ogletree was in all game… I missed his 30-yard catch but you would think that he would have gotten more than 2 catches since Dez was out.
Miles had like 200 yds and three td's in that KC game.....
and miles had been with the cowboys for about 4 years getting ready for that moment.
Miles's problems before then was drops, which he mostly solved in that second half of the KC game
Holley’s limitation is speed, which has can’t be solved. He can still be a great addition to the WR corps however.

Yeah...
those “bellcow” RB’s have been so great for their teams this season.
Steven Jackson is hobbled for the Rams. They’re relying on an unreliable Cadillac Williams now.
Frank Gore is averaging 2.7 ypc for the 9’ers. They don’t have much behind him.
Jamaal Charles is likely out for the season for KC with a possible torn ACL. They’d better hope ancient Thomas Jones can carry the load.
Mark Ingram isn’t that great yet in N.O.
Chris Johnson hasn’t looked good this season with a whopping 2.7 ypc for the Titans.
Arien Foster is hurt for the Texans.
Notice a theme? Yup, injuries. Of which, we’re now dealing with due to Felix Jones separating his shoulder. But, guess what, we’ve got Murray who many claim is the same type of RB as Felix. He actually had a nice 3.5ypc avg. So, we may actually be better off than some of those teams that rely on that “bellcow”.
Rabid and luvin' it
Felix has never been a bellcow.
Chris Johnson held out and is out of shape.
The Texans have Kenny Tate. Check out his play subbing for Arian Foster.
Check out Daniel Thomas for the Phins. In the second game he already passed Bush on the depth chart.
3.5 is sub par
Jerry is the end all in Dallas.

I never said Felix was a bellcow.
I believe it’s been well established that this a RB by committee team.
Yeah, putting all of your eggs in one RB basket opens you up to overpaying like the Titans had to do with CJ. Their own fault for relying so heavily on him. Will he get better as he gets back into shape? Probably. Will the Titans be screwed if he gets hurt while trying to get back into shape? Definitely.
Kenny Tate is not a bellcow type RB either. He’s been in the league for two years and you don’t hear about him until Foster gets hurt? Yup, what a bellcow.
The Phins will still be a RB by committee team as long as Bush is healthy and there.
3.5 is better than 2.7.
But hey, you’re the self described “mensa”, believe WTF you want.
Rabid and luvin' it
The committe crap isn't working.
You just can’t admit we have a putrid running game. Amazing that fans just keep the blinders on instead of wanting the team to be better. (banghead)
3.5 is bad but acceptable to you. LOL Go figure. !!

Ohh so Mensa's here eating his words!!
You found something else to criticize besides Romo?? Good, can’t wait for the running backs to shut you up next week…
Hey, respect for showing up after filling your mouth with romo bs… db
Eating what words ? LOL Romo was bad last week.
So it should be ignored according to u. Romo was good this week. Kind of the way it goes with him. I give him props when he deserves it. And I call him out when he deserves it. Yesterday was a great game by Romo. He should be applauded. In your eyes though if he throws a crunch time int or fumbles at the 3 it’s all ok. LOL. Ah name calling , the most elementary form of retort. Try harder. Surely you can do better . Can you ?

All the Kitna lovers, where you at now after your boy tried to bring back memories of XMas day last year?
Thank God Romo gutted it out and won this game for us. Anyone who questions his heart, leadership, desire, and ability need to check themselves. That guy didn’t have to come back in the game, Garrett didn’t want to risk him to even further injury, and this time he made sure he got back in there. He coached up Holley on the sidelines. I love this team. Still have doubts about Spencer, Brooking, James and the secondary. This offense will be boss.
"The tone is business," Garrett said. "Let's get to work. The Giants are going to be at the Meadowlands on Sunday at 4:15. They're an awfully good football team. We have to get ready for them."

wait if you are talking bout the people who wanted to bench romo permanently for kitna? that was silly
but there arent many other backup qb’s who could have kept the team together like that. both picks were fluky as well. witten broke off a post route in the middle of 2 deep zone and the other INT was tipped before being intercepted

They should be proud of themselves as well, IMHO.
jerry compared romo to emmit in '93
"I’ve got to put this one on the level with [when] I saw Emmitt Smith run with that broken-down shoulder," Jones said after Romo threw for 345 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday’s overtime win over the 49ers. "It’s one of those."
"This franchise needed this win in the worst way," Jones said. "After what happened to us last year, to leave here with two losses was going to be a hell of a hurdle for us to overcome. So that was as meaningful as anything for our franchise and our future this year as you could do."

Playoff Game
Big Time heart by Emmitt. Eddie Murray game winner.
Even with our great 90’s teams we had nail biters like that game .
After that game we played some great football.
Only difference... is that Emmitt was playing on turf and blocking and taking hits
Also Aikman didn’t know he was injured. The rest of the team knew he was hurting but probably had no idea how bad it was… like Emmitt he saw the doctors and was back on the field.
The difference I saw was that he didn’t let the missed field goal and the injury bother him, Garrett has brought out the competitor in him. It’s one thing to come back in the game and be effective, its another to come back from 10 down and pull out a win in OT.
Last year… he might not have pulled it out, and credit our D for stopping them in OT, when we needed a stop.
Also, like to credit Special Teams, Dan Bailey and Mike Jenkins/Sean Lee on D. Jenkins looks like a shut-down corner again… not quite Revis, but they did not throw to his side very much. Also stopped throwing at Ball after that INT.
Does anyone miss TNew yet? Ball and Scandrick have been pretty good.
so happy for Jesse
ever since 4th & Long he’s been one of my favorites
One thing to note
Our punt coverage was great today. They Cowboys punted it directly to Ginn every time and relied on their ST coverage to get the job done and they showed up big time.
Harris and McCann both had a higher average on returns than Ginn.
They both averaged 13 yards per return, Ginn had 11.
Formerly Pineywoods - different name, same cockeyed view of the world.

Rob Ryan - Lord of Chaos
Yup
Holley had a tackle on ST’s too.
Funny how a couple weeks ago we had more than a few people calling for Holley to be cut in favor of Laurent Robinson and Radway before that. All because ST’s specialists were supposedly a waste due to the new KO rules.
Funny, I haven’t seen a couple of those people lately.LOL

That's stupid
Holley played very well in preseason as WR. Wish they could have kept Johnson. Looks like they’ll need depth if Miles can’t go next week and Dez still isn’t 100%.

I think he's fine for what he is.
He’s the third WR on the depth chart. Basically Patrick Crayton’s old role. He’ll probably get busted down to fourth because the Cowboys have had pretty good luck with finding competent WRs out of nowhere. Harris had a good preseason, and I think he’ll be the slot guy in a couple of years.
Green Bay Coach - glad we got him
Wonder how the Pack has no names shine as WR’s
We are starting to see the effects now with our receivers.
Didn't get to see the game
But it was apparently a great win for team and especially Romo. Today is a “perspective game”. Some self-style “fans” would do well to note games like this before they throw terms around like “choke artist” or “can’t win in the 4th quarter” or “Romo’s forgotten how to win”. Every QB makes mistakes and they aren’t always at convenient points in the game. Anyone see Rivers’ turn-overs today? Not pretty. It happens to the best of them. Dallas is fortunate to have a quality, tough competitor at QB. Go Tony, go Cowboys!

then disappeared. Did he get injured during the game?

I was very critical of Romo for his Jr High mistakes last week. I chose not to respond to the childish posts in here that started appearing immediately after the game. Things like “Guess the haters will hide under their rocks for another week”. They are just to juvenile to bother to respond to. I’ve always rooted for the guy because I’m a Cowboys fan, he’s the starting QB, and good Tony is very good a lot of the time. When bad Tony shows up and makes mistakes that lose games, I’m critical.

I am not always on board with you, but he was great, showed a lot of guts. I hope he keeps it up. Congrats. He showed the strength and ability you said he has. True Fan, you are.

But when they win… Romo baby!
Ah joshin ya really…

yeah that was on Romo... Kitna looked good but made mistakes
when Romo came back he played better injured than when he was healthy.
Whatever
Frikkin’ Romodar musta been on the fritz or you’re nappin’ on the job. You shoulda been handling this minor miner 49er, not me. (read up to his comment, then the thread)
Wonder if he’ll vanish too.
Cry 'Havoc!'
Great performance! And unlike last year he is not showing any negative emotion when things weren't going well
Kept pressing even after the injury and put together a performance for the ages… now you can make your comparisons to Meredith, Staubach, White and Aikman.
Love Romo and Garrett and awesome win...
but did anyone have a problem with not going for the win with 2 min. left and the ball at midfield in the 4th qtr? Plus I think they still had at least 2 timeouts. They seemed to just pack it in and put the game on the foot of a free agent rookie that missed a 21 yarder to start the game to make a long FG.
"He’s the boomstick, you know what I mean?" -Ian Kinsler
I thought we were done and JG was going to get crucified.
Luckily we made the FG. Hated those to conservative calls though. A 48 yard FG is not a gimmie at all.
Right...
But you also don’t want to take a chance with a quarterback who is hurting.

We were driving right down the field and passing every time.
Then all of the sudden we call two conservative run plays when we are just barely in FG range. It didn’t make sense. And I don’t think he was trying to protect Romo. I don’t know what he was doing to be honest. I don’t want to sit here and rail on JG, the OT play action call worked out awesome, just think that was extremely conservative bad play calling at the end of the 4th.
3rd and 1
3rd and 1 or 2 with a timeout isn’t really that conservative, it’s a normal playcall in that situation. I actually thought miles as the RB was a good idea, we normally run that play with felix because he’s quick enough to get out to the corner, but without Felix, Miles was a reasonable replacement.
Running there wasn’t trying to be conservative, just trying to convert and get closer. Once we didn’t get it we wanted to make sure the 49ers didn’t have any time to take a shot at winning.
Yeah, I guess the only thing I can see is obviously JG
thought the runs would work and get a first down, but we had around 30 seconds left at that point and could have gotten way closer for the FG.
Whats up with the stupid double reverses ?
Miles was hurt on the pitch play to him late in the game. Garrett needs to quit trying to be a genius and call plays that work.

totally uncalled for in that spot
its painfully obvious garrett does not trust this team to pound out the tough one or two yard runs when needed.
So are we starting Ogletree, Holley, Bennett, and Kitna against the Skins?
since the guys ahead of them are injured. Tony might be able to go with a flak jacket, maybe Witten too (most likely).
How about Dez?

I am actually on vacation from the east coast. Saw the Cowboys on the schedule and decided to go. Got really good corner endzone seats for about 150. Sat in the section below the Joneses. Jerry got lots of love from the Niner fans, ha!
Lots and lots of blue. BUT it was almost invisible in the first half, and then suddenly, Cowboys fans came alive once Miles got going.
Oh yeah, tough to tell between “Let’s go, Cowboys” and “F*** you, Cowboys.”

No, it's not wrong.
Look, I’m not a Vick hater, believe it or not, even though I’m a vet. The guy did unforgivable things to defenseless animals. But, he did his time, admitted his mistakes, committed himself to promote awareness against his crimes, and is playing his butt off to resurrect a career no one believed could be resurrected. I have a little (very little) respect for that much.

Austin reminds everyone who Cowboys's top receiver really is
BTB folks sure love Dez, and rightfully so, but today we all were reminded who the Cowboys’s #1 receiver really is. I couldn’t believe all of the throws going to Dez last week late in the game when he was obviously hurt and shouldn’t have even been on the field, while Miles was being ignored on the other side. Great to see Miles show us his stuff, not just the yards and catches, but TD’s!
+19
Miles is a veteran #1 wide receiver. Dez is raw but one day he’ll be amazing. Miles + Dez the best 1-2 WR combo in the NFL, bar none.
It only hurts when he breathes.
"Ribs are tough," Romo said. "It’s just hard to breathe, and talk really. You have to talk loud, especially on the road." He didn’t give coach Jason Garrett much chance to keep him out of the game once back on the sideline for the second time. "I just told him I was good to go. I think he asked some of the guys," Romo said. "I didn’t give him too much of a chance. I just ran on the field."
But, you know, he’s “soft”, “not a leader” and is a “choke artist”, right?

Sean Lissemore = The next Bruce Smith
Pass/Run ratio looks like early 2010
These two games remind me a lot of the beginning of last year, where we were passing like crazy and had no commitment to the run. Obviously different issues on the o-line this year compared to last, but we need to be able to get some yardage on the ground. Also haven’t seen much of Jones and Murray on screens and swing passes out of the backfield which figured to be a big part of their contribution this year.
When you're averaging 2 yard per carry, it isn't wise to place a premium on doing more of the same

Same goes for Tron and Bruce Carter. So JJ drafted 4 first round values in 2 drafts if you follow my logic.
Spencer and Jenkins closer to 2009 than 2010
Gotta like what we are seeing out of these two compared to LY. Key to the “D” is not just arrival of RR and his new approach, but also getting these guys back to playing at a higher level. Also like what we seem to be getting out of Hatcher so far. And what’s not to like about Lee?
+10
Jenkins almost deflected that pass on the TD. Was a perfect throw.
Only downside for Spencer was not holding up the TE on the touchdown.
One more second and Smith was sacked on that play.

the coverage wasn’t awful, thats just a good play and if a team makes a good play I cannot get mad
now the Delanie Walker TD where Spencer didnt jam him at the line, that gets me mad
play smart football, if your in coverage at the LOS against a guy, and your bad in coverage, you got 5 yards to knock him around to mess up the timing of the play

It's really hard for me
To be critical of Anthony Spencer trying to cover a RB or TE 30 yds down field, especially when it was a nearly perfect throw. He can’t be expected to win that battle very often. Ryan’s defense is a high risk/high reward type. Those kind of plays will happen from time to time.

Jenkins
I actually see Jenkins as an average CB. Last week he kept going out there no matter what and that takes some heart but as far as skill goes its not shutdown. Even in 2009 it really wasn’t shutdown but it was good playing.
Spencer on the other hand is now being influenced by the new atmosphere I want to say. I think he’ll break his 2009 molding this year but be moderately priced for us to keep.

Tony Romo 2011's League's Most Valuable Player
One thing that bothers me about this offense...
Is that for all of the yardage that we rack up, we don’t seem to score a commensurate number of points. 450-500 yards of offense shouldn’t require young go to OT to score 27 points and eek out a win. Last couple years yardage>points. Used to think it had a lot to do with too many penalties, missed field goals, or settling for a FG because we could’nt punch in a TD. Now beginning to think, we need to be less cute with some of the play calling when we get down close, and need to establish a commitment to the running game.
you're right but this isnt THAT bad
in 09 we had games where we had near 500 yards of O and only like 20 pts
We had the first drive of the game that ended in nothing.
Other than that I think we did awesome converting drives into points when we got down the field. There were just a lot of three and outs in the middle of the game.
Players next week
After Romo getting back on the field in that shape it should put the hammer on some of these other guys to “get well quick” and earn they paycheck. Terrance Newman being first in line.
Can you imagine how good the defense might be with a healthy group – way to go Ryan.
I want Scandrick back...
Newman can play on third downs…

It may just be me, but that doesn’t look like you were keeping the faith. You wrote the team off from the very beginning of the game, even though it was clear we could drive on these guys and stop them on D, all we needed was some healthy players.

I'm saying
Every media outlet that has ever existed overreacted to a guy trying to make a play in the 4th quarter of the jets game. He was crucified by posters even here, where he is supposed to have fans. This is supposed to be a Dallas Cowboys fan blog, but half of us were calling him a choker and the like…
Ridiculous. You don’t have to blindly support him, just support him. The QB can’t win EVERY game for you.
Mistakes happen at every position, including QB .
I agree
Its the silly knee jerk reactions that get to me. We need to draft a qb in the first round. Peyton NEVER throws interceptions or fumbles the ball. Brady completes EVERY pass he throws. Your either in or your out on Romo. Some people love em today that hated him last week. Pick a freekin side already.
Everythings gonna be alright.

I completely agree
Sometimes it looks like he has decided he is going throw it to where ever he decided he was going to throw it before the snap- coverage be damned.
Now I feel the need to qualify this statement be saying I’m not a Romo hater (sad to even feel the need), but it does seem that way, and it is a detriment.
I mean, it happened in this game too, but he got away with it.

What turnover is "smart"?
There’s no such thing, especially to fans. The point is still valid – criticize the play but cut the players a reasonable amount of slack. They’re not making mistakes because they’re stupid or lazy. Mistakes happen to everyone in the game, like punt blockers.
People were ridiculous in what they said, not whether the turnovers were “good”, but interpreting it mean outrageous things. There’s a huge difference.
Don't believe everything you think.

yeah think about this
Ware is on pace to get 32 and Spencer is on pace to get 16….that is almost 50 sacks just between the two of them…..
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.

First things first…How abt them Cowboys…this one will be etched in my memory for a very very long time. I was seated behind the End Zone and saw the whole play to Holley develop before my eyes…whatever JG’s play calling was up until that point…he set up the play beautifully…everyone in the stadium was expecting a run to the right…there is no doubting the heart of this team, the stadium was rocking with the Cowboy fans…49er fans finally shut up with the choke tagline on Romo…What a WIN…What a glorious WIN…i need to pour myself a shot of Scotch and toast this!!

holley stuttered but i think choice did as well
choice i think ran too far up the hole and last second cut to flank out to the flats. had whitner and madeui/whoever else not bit so freaking hard romo would have gotten decked or had to dump it to choice
i mean 1st and 10 on their 25 only gaining 50-some rush yards and no WR targets except for witten, what were those DB’s looking at?

The Safety bit on the RUN big time...
I think everyone in their secondary was looking at the backfield..Romo had an awesome fake on it as well…the 49ers were playing run all the way…and it looked like Holley just took off cutting inside the CB…i think the Safety was supposed to pick him..but overran the play..the play design was completely awesome…i think we had 3 TEs in and even i was thinking to myself just run it

All of the NFL “experts” (on ESPN, etc.) that spent their entire week bashing Romo and the Boys are now all seeing the positives. Funny how that happens.
I am so proud of Romo and the others for stepping up and showing what they’re made of. Even when it looked like the end of the world, they never gave up. It feels good to finally be able to say that.
And Vick is injured now too. I seem to remember several people on here predicting he wouldn’t make it past week three.

Champions find a way to win
I’m not saying the Cowboys are anywhere near being champions but this game today was emblematic of what champions do.
If you’re going to be a champ, you have to act like a champ. They did that today.
I really admired their spirit, resiliency and fight. They have guts.

this was always going to be a close ugly game. If you are a good team you find a way to win these kind of games.
it didn’t look good tho when Romo was hurt and for a while the 49ers had Ryan’s # on D.
Then Romo’s passes actually started looking better than they did before he was hurt. He entered the Zone athletes get in, where you feel you can’t make a mistake. He was all focus and adrenaline. No pain.
I’m still nervous about Ryan’s D (25 pts. a game against 2 pretty mediocre offenses) and the OL sure doesn’t look good at all in run blocking.

washington is no better on offense than the jets so hopefully the rush offense gets it together by the detroit game

Better
Romo will probably wear a flak jacket for the rest of the season which won’t help his mobility any but it should get better over time.
That said, and as somebodyquiet pointed out, any random hit on Romo could cause a surge of pain and potentially damage the ribs even more. It wouldn’t surprise me if Romo had to deal with this for the rest of the season. If I remember correctly Vick had a rib injury for the second half of last year too.
I am serious when I say this
Romo’s body language and facial expressions the first quarter, he just didn’t look like he was in the game for whatever reason, he had no passion
that 4th quarter, totally different guy
looked motivated, better body language, more alert, was more eager

Garrett needs to adapt his running strategy.
It’s pretty simple really, if the 5 guys you have out there can’t effectively get the job done blocking then you need to add more blockers to the running scheme. It’s not rocket science. Blows my freaking mind that he can’t figure this out. Put a FB in there. Put 2 or 3 TEs or maybe even an extra O-lineman out there lined up at TE. There are things that can be done that aren’t being done.
"The Angels are like the villain in the movie that isn't dead until he's been stabbed 150 times in the bath tub, yet he still might come back up one more time." - Eric Nadel
How does that help?
If we put more blockers in there, then the defense will just put more defenders in there. It’s not like a FB is a magic trick that the other team can’t counter, they can just as easily add another LB on the field too.
Personally, I prefer the spread them out strategy, then you’re less likely to get stuffed because backers aren’t filling every hole in the line (like the Packers vs the Saints week 1).
who in the league has a running game?
or a defense.. its the whole league

Bunch of folks got nine this week.
The Baltimore-Tennessee game killed most of us.
I’ll have more information in my FanPost on Tuesday, but there were 86 who submitted picks this week. 79 of them had this game as one of their ten. All 79 picked Baltimore; no one picked Tennessee.
So, that one game took out all but seven people from having a shot at 10 for 10 (the seven who didn’t choose that game as one of their ten).

I cant disagree anymore. The boys had to fight for every point, convert forth downs, fill in with several backups and make the crucial plays to win.
Anyways, Im really encouraged by this gutty effort. Reminds me of the KC game 2 years ago.
Few things they need to fix quickly IMOP:
running game- its been awfull, felix is tip toeing around out there

But this run game is in bad shape. We have to establish some type of running game

definitely
This O lines strength should be pitches and outside runs too… all we’ve seen is stight up the middle mostly. Hopefully we can run on wash.
Also hopefully our secondary can have some fun with Rexy
I agree
Dockery and Free looked like doodoo today. Our left side is usually our strongest side to run off of. Not to mention our Costa being injured and out. I think our O-line just needs to take a step back and take a deep breath. I know they can return to the type of play we seen them do in the first game.

The Falcons have a legit rb. A hammer they can count on.
Dallas doesn’t have that. Turner just keeps going and going. I hope one day we get a game in game out legit rb. The occasional good games just doesn’t do much for the offense. It’s to the point now teams can ignore the run vs Dallas.
The gimmicky offensive plays like the one Miles was hurt on needs to cease immediately. Garrett tried to get to cute sometimes.

How does he not disguise anything?
We run out of the shotgun a lot. We pass out of 2-TE sets. That to me is the definition of disguising.
And you could do those things you mention, but you would be doing while you are behind and against one of the best front sevens in the league. Why run into a wall every time with a young O-line when you can throw on a secondary who can’t even contain Jesse Holley? You don’t get any points for having a 50-50 pass-run ratio.

I wasn't implying that you said that.

sure there is-a decent running game helps the passing game

seriously against washington and detroit they have to be able to run. if they cant run by NE then brady is going have so much TOP to torch the secondary

Now for the injuries man they are pretty bad.
Romo has 2 broken ribs
Miles might be out till after the buy
Felix has a separated shoulder

So many injuries……

O-line is still bad
can’t run block, can’t pick up the blitz very well…not looking good. Austin looks to be out for a while, and Romo already has broken ribs in week two. As satisfying as today’s win was, the future of the season is still shaky at best in my opinion.
I said in the preseason
O-line=SR-71
horrible on the ground, but once it got up in the air, nothing could catch it
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

Me too. If he was on the field today, I have no doubt it's not that close at the end.
Romo seems really comfortable with Dez. Who couldn’t though, right? I still can’t get over the fact that he fell in our lap. I can’t wait to see where this kid goes…
Luckily enough
We have a QB who can make the difference even with broken ribs and 4th and 5th receivers who are actually reality TV starts. How lucky are we?

I thought
Garrett’s playcalling was real questionable throughout the game… But to call a play action on your first play in OT and have Jesse Holley make the play? One hell of a call.
I liked the very first play of the game, deep ball to Austin, do that more often, take shots

Romo needed the gorilla off his back. I don’t know if this did that much….but the gorilla is hanging on for dear life in my eyes. If he can put together a successful season, cap it off with a playoff run, I don’t know how you doubt the guy anymore. That’s a lot of ‘ifs’, but certainly not unreasonable.

Now that is one play call that I hated.

Here's my takeaway from this game.
It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t pretty. Mistakes were made, losses were incurred. But the Cowboys overcame all of that. Maybe I’m just being a Kool-Aid drinking homer, but I think that’s better than a breezy blowout would have been. This ain’t gonna be easy for this team. Overcoming those setbacks is what we’re gonna have to do.

you mean like the play call for pass to Holley
in OT? I agree that sometimes Garrett makes play calls that don’t turn out well, but then if they did, everyone would have said what a great call. But then there are times he makes genuinely great calls, like the one that won the game for us.
it's been said that Holley was asked about this play post-game...
and ROMO called that play, not JG…
Don’t know the validity, but pre-tty coool if true…
His issues are short yardage situations and red zone situations.
Always have been.

Looking at the league as a whole
I’m beginning to think that it’s just really hard to play the slot. I think in the NFL you need three good corners, which is why the Eagles aren’t going to trade one of their 3.
The new thing in the NFL is to abuse other team’s nickel and dime cornerbacks with slot guys, particularly tightends.

People can point out all the faults of this team...

Nitpick every aspect of our management…
But they can’t say this team isn’t going to be exciting to watch and legitimately compete week-in, week-out. We were in so many games last year despite all the hoopla. This year looks to be a lot of the same, except our ceiling is much higher.
They turn on each other quick...
entertaining to watch… Different rules over there… They can swear and go berserk on each other.

i didnt think he was hurt on the play where rodgers came from the blindside
it appeared he was hurt on the first possesion throwing over the middle to witten.
They must have shot him up before he came back in right?

Initial story was no injections. Then Jerry told someone that told ESPN that Romo did get pain killing injections.
Supposedly, Romo’s ribs were injured on the third play of the game. That explains why he might have looked “off” to some people.

I just saw Jets players picking up referees hats and getting them water...
No wonder they don’t get penalized!
Well this definitely does a lot for me...
It doesn’t do it all, though. I was at the Jets game last week, and while seeing Romo comeback in the 4th quarter and play lights out to prevent a disastrous start with two broken ribs does a lot it still doesn’t take all the sting out of the loss.
I loathe the Jets, I was encouraged, though supremely pissed, that the team was good play calling in the red zone away from beating the vaunted Jets defense at the Meadowlands to open the season. All of this despite basically three rookies on the OL, three hurt defensive backs, and their best weapon that game cramping up left and right.
It sucks hearing Romo called a choker, fanpost to come later, but he basically won the game with a couple of broken ribs. The dude has balls and is a pretty good player, I’m glad he’s the quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. Is he the best in the league? No, but they can definitely do a lot worse.
I’m glad they picked Murray now. I liked him at Oklahoma quite a bit, and now with Felix missing a game or two he’s going to need to play a pretty big role in the offense. Washington’s coming to town, and they’re beating the Redskins from leading the NFC East. With all that in mind, I only have one question left: who’s ready to root against the Giants tomorrow!!!?!?!
Wouldn't it be great if Murray went off?
And we get to use Tanner in a goal-line or 3rd-and-short situation?
It's fine to be disappointed about last week, but I don't understand anyone who questions
Romo’s heart of leadership. Didn’t understand it before this game, and really don’t understand it now (not that you’re saying that, as far as I can tell).
Oh yeah
I completely agree, he botched a FG hold a few years ago, big deal. How many starting QBs wouldn’t botch a FG hold? It’s not a role that a starting QB on a playoff team is supposed to be in. Sure he threw a pick against the Giants in 2007 to end the game, he also threw a TD pass that Crayton dropped that SHOULD HAVE ended the game.
It’s funny how people always seem to overlook mistakes that anybody but Romo makes. I get that he’s the starting quarterback, but that doesn’t mean he’s the only person that should be held accountable for his mistakes.
by me gusta on Sep 19, 2011 1:09 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Yeah
They really should make a new stat for receivers that’s like errors in baseball. It’s not the quarterback’s fault if the receiver allows a perfectly thrown ball to bounce off their hands and into a defender’s.
by me gusta on Sep 19, 2011 1:19 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
Or bounce off the receiver's hands
and then hit foot, and then into the arms of the defender covering the receiver.
Yeah, somebody was saying that it wasn't the punt teams' fault that we lost the game
that they had had an almost perfect game besides that play…
Same could be said about Romo but haters don’t let facts get in the way of their arguments
When Witten caught that huge pass..
They had four yards to go, that play calling was an atrocity. I was more pissed about the play calling than I was the fumble.
we did the same thing today
opening drive, redzone, shotgun
not feeling that at all, just telegraphs we are going to throw, making it really hard to make a play with such short distance, still think Miles got held on that play though, bad no call there, but I have become accustomed to us not getting calls, it is what it is

Shotgun in the Redzone against the Jets D? I get using the shot gun to spread out the defense but the Jets had FOURTEEN YARDS TO COVER!!!!!!! The Jets have a good, yet overrated, defense. They can cover fourteen yards of field. There needs to be some sort of routine for good defenses when you’re goal to go.
I just dont like shotgun in the redzone, unless we run a bunch formation
if we start running bunch formations out of that set, we should see someone get open
bunch Witten, Miles and Dez, whenever I see that formation on other teams guys always get open

If you're playing a defense like the Cowboys
Good pass rush/Crappy secondary I see the logic. Give your QB the time he needs to find the open guy in the endzone. But the Jets have a good secondary and a mediocre pass rush, it doesn’t exactly work. Back to the issue at hand, Garrett’s went to Princeton right? I mean, it seems like he’s a bright guy and he’ll eventually stop this nonsense and get a better goal to go game plan.
I thought he was supposed to be done with the terrible play calling after wade got fired
After all, that was all part of the conspiracy that he had to get the head coaching position right?
He needs to pull his head out of his a$$ on his play calling sometimes because I seriously burst into flames after that first drive.
by me gusta on Sep 19, 2011 2:01 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions
His play calling improved when he took over for Wade as the HC.
I still think he should just be the HC and not the OC too, not because he’ not a good enough OC, but getting this group of idiots ready to play on Sundays is hard enough. I still think it’s a short offseason, he’s feeling out his new OL and trying to find what works.

I noticed everyone else whining about the RB situation
You guys realize that running back is the most fungible position in the NFL right? Aside from Adrian Peterson, who is legitimately one of the best players in the league, every RB is subject to a slump. Look at Michael Turner’s player card, huge year, hurt, meh year. Chris Johnson is slumping pretty hard after being ridden like a rented mule lately. Jamaal Charles is out for the year with an torn ACL, Arian Foster is struggling, and just about every other good RB in the league has had similar issues. RBs are volatile like none other, they take tons of abuse and their success is largely dependent on the OL. There’s one back in the league that you can consistently count on being a top three RB year in year out, and there’s maybe two or three others you can count on to be a top 10 RB year in year out. Yes, it’d be nice to have Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, or Lesean McCoy…however, those guys are pretty rare. If you go looking for the next big RB you could invest way too much and end up with the next Larry Johnson, Reggie Bush, or Ronnie Brown. i.e. Guy that was ridden too hard and broke down, guy that just sucked in the pros, and guy that never quite became worthy of his selection in the draft.
I agree with everything you said, except about Ronnie Brown.
Dude is a gamer, and a beast. Was on a horrid offense, but carried it often. He and Ricky were the truth, imo. (I live in South Florida, so I am exposed to every dolphins- aka dallas jr.‘s game’s)
I mean, I like him AND Ricky as players too...
Buuuuuuuuut, they didn’t live up to the selection. Which is fine, a Running Back pretty much has to be AP to live up to a top three pick. He had a good tenure in Miami, he was a perfectly capable running back, but not an elite player like he should have been. More of an “expectations bust.” Good starter, useful to all 32 teams in the league, but didn’t live up to expectations.
Not whining
50 yards running a game is not going to cut it in the nfl. That’s a fact

Not disagreeing...
But I don’t think that the running backs are the problem. The OL needs to get better at run blocking. My point wasn’t that the running game was fine, it was more that I’m not sure that new running backs are the solution. It seems that the ones we have are capable of success, Felix and Murray seem like they’re capable of being a good 1/2 punch and Choice is a perfectly fine 3rd string back. I think the OL needs to improve their run blocking.

Man. I don't know if it's just lack of sleep... Are my eyes and ears playing tricks on me?
I just saw a totally different Tony Romo in the post-game press conference. He just looks more focused to me. He sounded mature. He said that he learned from last game and applied it to tonight. I don’t recall hearing this before…and definitely not in that tone. I need to go to bed, so maybe this is just me reaching into dreamland…but I would bet right now, this is a new Tony Romo. Has his potential, the guy we’ve seen glimpses of, the guy we wanted to break out and lead this team, has this guy finally arrived? One week removed from a total collapse, with no post-season and pre-season in between to interrupt the learning experience, am I being silly to suggest Romo has finally taken that final step in applying into his game the knowledge gained through catastrophic mistakes? IDK. But I hope this carries over to next week. Hate week, people.
And now, I gotta go to bed! lol. G’nite, folks
I dunno...
He made some stupid throws that simply didn’t get taken advantage of by the defense, but I guess that happens in every game to every QB.
So take that for whatever it’s worth.

Just a great comeback win
You just get that feeling sometimes as a fan in games. And when Romo came back out i was like the Boys are going to do this. All the talk about Romo choking and giving away games. And after last week i was one of them i admit it. But something different about this guy i’ve never seen him more determined then this season. He has truely become the leader this team has needed. With all the injuries and playing on the road again just a amazing comeback. Was nice to see Alan Ball make a play i was wanting him cut after this game ha. Course i can say that about Bailey also what a game for that kid great kicks at the end. Holley very nice game but i hope the kid never tries to start celebrating like that again before getting in the end zone ha. O-line just not good today they are young and all. Dockery back to back penalties and Free just got abused today. No running lanes for the backs and they almost got Romo killed. We all need to enjoy this one for a bit Romo really was something else today amazing.
Question
What team has a running game so far? And what team has a really good defense so far?
Its a league wide thing atm
Tony Romo 2011's League's Most Valuable Player
The following teams have >300 yds in two games....
Buffalo (380), Philadelphia (369), Minnesota (345), Oakland (321), Houston (305) all >4.0 yds/rush. Cowboys….(109; 2.3 yds/rush)
Individually: Fred Jackson (229 yds; 6.5 avg), Darren McFadden (222 yds; 5.3 avg), Ben Tate (219 yds; 4.7 avg), Adrian Peterson (218 yds; 5.3 avg), LeSean McCoy (217 yds; 6.6 avg), Michael Turner (214 yds; 6.9 avg).
Felix Jones…(69 yds; 2.7 avg)
Although, I don’t know if has to do with defenses those teams have faced vs. NY and SF for us are good def against the run.
yeah.. true
There are more than one way to win a football in this league now. Having a running game doesn’t guarantee anything. We played two of the best front 7’s in the league. 2-0, 1-1, 0-2, 1-1, 2-0. are the records above.
Tony Romo 2011's League's Most Valuable Player
Ehhh...I'd be careful of that.
Houston played the leaking siv that was the Indianapolis Colts and the Miami Dolphins. Philly had a game against the Rams (and McCoy is a running back that’s different than all but four or five running backs), the Raiders played the Bills and the Broncos. The Bills also had a weak schedule against vanilla defenses. Yeah, McCoy and AP are legitimately awesome running backs…if the Cowboys had either of those guys it’d be different. Turner and Jackson had giant gaping holes against a weak LB corps. I can assure you that Felix will finish the season with a higher than 2.7 YPC average.
by Omar Little on Sep 19, 2011 11:15 AM CDT up reply actions
Wow!!!!
For once, we agree Ham!! It’s the NFL, the NFL’s stated goal with the salary cap is that every team be 8-8. Now, for sure some teams are quite a bit better and on the opposite end you have the Dolphins. However, most teams are mediocre and there are few playoff contenders that you can say are legitimately better than another playoff contenders. So, while yes the running game and the defense kinda blow at the moment, it’s not that big of a deal as long as Romo and Co. keep up their end of the deal this team will have a shot.
by Omar Little on Sep 19, 2011 11:07 AM CDT up reply actions
Gut Check
Nice bounce back by Antonio and the Defense yesterday. Romo was clutch and the defense got the stops unlike what happened in the Jets game. If we get Dez and Newman back for the ’Skins, we ahould be in good shape.
I guess we'll see
Tanner and McGee active this week. We need a between the tackle running back. I hope Tanner can fill that role.
again what team is able to run the ball so far? esp up the middle
Tony Romo 2011's League's Most Valuable Player
Rex Grossman
If he beats us next week, I’ll be on suicide watch. Last time we played Wash in Texas on a Monday night was the epic collapse. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again.
Can you really call a comeback "epic"
when the other team is QB’ed by Alex Smith and their WR1 & WR2 are out?
The win was nice, but the fact that Dallas had to come back is a little disconcerting.
1-1 is better than 0-2. Aside from the injuries, this team his big issues. Can’t run it, can’t protect Romo, the secondary made Alex Smith look like Joe Montana for large parts of that game.
Rebuilding.
Bring in the Clowns, I mean Browns.
A. Smith
16 of 24 for 179 with 2 ints is far from Montana like??
Your stats are incorrect
His line was:
16/24, 179, 2 TDs, 1 Int, 99.1 QB Rating

Can't agree. On it's own, maybe you're right. But, that game may turn out to be 'the' defining game for this entire season. This team has heart
and that is hard to come by. Several players showed it yesterday. When the time came for them to make a play, they made it, hurts and all. Even our off the street contest winner, Jesse Holley, made the plays he had to make. Even our new kicker, Bailey, who missed a gimme early, made the 48 yarder to tie the game, and then made the game winner. If we make it to the SB, you too, will remember yesterdays game as epic.
