A huge loss. No question.
Blame to be spread alot of places. Most notably- Barber, Folk, Scandrick, Sensabaugh and ST's really let us down in a huge way in this ballgame.
BTW, I think Barber needs to come off the bench going forward. He's just not shifty enough anymore to get positive yardage carry to carry for defenses to start respecting the run game a bit more.
We might need a new kicker, and he may be on the roster as it stands anyway.
I hated the playcalling early in this ballgame and in the third quarter. You could see Romo's frustration with it too.
But Tony was terrific. Two bad plays: the missed Roy wide open TD... that was adrenaline. And I think he has to make sure Barber has the depth for the 1st down conversion on the 4th down play.
Other than that, he was flawless. Every throw was on-target, and with fantastic touch in relatively difficult weather conditions- this is a great sign. He was in total command of the offense and did not rattle with heavy pressure in his face. Look for more offense from this team going forward.
The problems on this team are similar to what we have seen in the past. Just a lack of anger/emotion and pride when it's needed. This ballclub does not CONSISTENTLY respond well to adversity- especially on defense.
I thought we had made a stride forward on this point but apparently today we took a step backwards. Big plays ruined the D's confidence from time to time today at crucial moments.
I think we will be bounce back, but this is going to be a dogfight to get to the postseason going forward.
It's an all-out war from here out, and the Cowboys need to start playing like they are in one.
