First off, we got the win, so no matter how ugly or pretty, it all counts the same.
It kills me that Romo got hurt. I think I would have rather had a loss if it meant Romo coming out of the game healthy.
Our defense was outstanding today, as was our ST defense, aside from Heath having his toe on the line when downing the punt. We did have a few penalties that we need to shore up, but aside from that, it was an A+ effort.
Our ST offense, needs work. Beasley looks awkward returning punts. Also, our gunners need to do a better job of not running into the path of our returner.
Our OL, which is supposed to be a strength, had a very poor game. There were way too many penalties from this unit today. Not only that, they let Romo get hit a few too many times, including the play that got him injured. Now, I will say the run blocking did improve over what we saw last week.
I know there were some issues with the officiating, but for me, only to calls bothered me. One, the Escobar TD that was taken away. I saw all the replays and the ball looked to cross the goal line. I feel they robbed us on that one. BTW, I am upset with Escobar for diving to the line instead of running hard and bracing to be hit by the LB while trying to score. Second, the personal foul on Bailey. I feel Murray initiated it by taunting Bailey in his face, then after Bailey grabbed his arm, Murray threw the ball right at Bailey, and all this happened in front of the official. IMO, Murray should have been flagged for taunting. BTW, I am ok with the Bailey flag. I feel it should have been offsetting penalties.
On the Lee INT, just before the play, I looked at my fiancé and said we desperately need a turnover right here. Presto, Bradford obliges.
I see that Witten accrued 3 separate injuries during the game, but kept on playing. He is one of the toughest players I have ever seen. He could have definitely played in the throwback eras.
I wonder if Kellen Moore will now be called up to the main roster.
So it wasn't pretty, it wasn't without cost, but it was a win......and it was against a division rival....
Dallas 2-0, 2-0, 2-0
Wash 1-1, 0-0, 1-0
NYG 0-2, 0-1, 0-2
Philly 0-2, 0-1, 0-2
Now we get the Falcons. Both of us have each won ugly games against the Giants and Eagles.....only difference, we lost our #1 WR, our starting LG, our starting DE, and now our franchise QB. Hopefully the OL can get it together, our D can continue to play strong, and Weeden can play as a starter the way he has played in both games after coming in for an injured Romo.
